Priest's Power Metal Church

Alright metalheads, Priest reporting in here from chilly ol' England. It's been a while since the blog had some activity that was due to the main posters here working on a forum which means a great deal to us. A

Anyway, plan from now is each Wednesday evening I will be posting a weekly dose of power metal/melodic metal for you guys to check out and headbang to \m/

This week I thought I'd start with a power metal gem not everyone knows about but should... SAVAGE CIRCUS!!!
This band were formed by Thomen Stauch after he left Blind Guardian because he didn't like the direction their music was going in. He grouped together with Piet Sielck (Iron Savior, ex-Gamma Ray), Jens Carlsson (Persuader) and Emil Norberg (Persuader) to form a band on par with early Blind Guardian. Fast, furious and melodic as hell. Savage Circus is a MUST for anyone digging the old Blind Guardian material such as Imaginations, Battalions of Fear, Nightfall etc.

Recently just released their new album Of Doom and Death, their second after debut album Dreamland Manor was released 4 years ago. Both are equally brilliant and worth checking out.

Here is a sample of what Savage Circus are like:



This is my tip for this week. Await next week's recommendation!
