I thought they had completely vanished until I happened to search their name again at the end of last year, and I was ecstatic to find that they had released a new album without me noticing :) They're probably my favourite band out of all of this genre... I discovered the whole power metal universe through them first, so they're always going to be special.

Bands of this genre tend to play much smaller venues in America, as well - I think there were about 500 or so at the one I went to for Gamma Ray and Helloween, but 100 is virtually a private showing :)

By the way, did you hear Powerwolf? They are kinda mocking whole genre, in Edguy way, even in Nanowar way sometimes, but I think at the moment they are unmatched in power metal.

I have! I first heard of through through someone on FA and I couldn't believe that a band with a name like 'Powerwolf' existed - and they were in that odd place where I really couldn't tell if they were taking themselves seriously or not. But I liked what little I heard of them, even though I didn't think I would from their quite... black metal-like image.

I recalled them because their show had been few weeks before IS, and they gathered a much larger crowd.

The question about them taking it all seriously resolves if you listen to their texts :) Resurrection by erection is my favourite.

When Blind Guardian decided to film a live DVD in their native Germany, the only way they could get a venue that actually fit them was to make their own outdoor festival type thing. Between their elaborate setup and the unbelievable crowd it drew, it ended up looking something like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qE4Ms0-OyZY .

When they came to my town, they played in the tiny standing-room Sunshine Theater (http://a3.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/12/a01ff19e08644e248ac1269caae45a96/l.jpg is actually a photo of a different band in the exact same theater, I found it by GISing for said theater) to a crowd of about half what you see in that photo. As a metal fan, I was actually kind of offended. (Though I did get a signed Seven KingdomZ CD so I can at least felt like I supported someone.)

Though they're not my thing, my friends are hugely into VNV Nation, and they tell me that those guys suffer from the exact same problem; overseas it looks like a Queen concert or something, here they're stuck in the Sunshine and no one cares. It's sad.
