Albion - amiga/sega-like power metal music
« on: December 21, 2011, 03:07:09 pm »
I found this last nigth while looking for power metal artists on Bandcamp and I thought this sounded awesome O.O

The music sounds like some Amiga and Sega Genesis/Megadrive stuff made using a tracker, especially the newer stuff. It has a nice video game touch and nice melodies. :D

Yeah that sounds pretty awesome.

This signature is ridiculously large you've been warned.

At first the name reminded me of some old japaneese superheros from '80s shows and the logo is really '80s-ish.

His stuff actually makes my own songs sound less melodic XD

Wow I just found two extra albums by this artist and they're nice too (although the first is very different in style). He even made a cover of a Sonata Arctica song O.O (now I see where Angel Eyes inspiration comes from).

For some reasons, these two albums are not available on Bandcamp, unlike his 5 other albums and his CT2 OST, but they can be downloaded on one of his site below. I'm giving individual links because they're a major PITA to browse otherwise. His other albums are at http://albion.bandcamp.com (from the 2005 Worldcrafter to his new album Signal from the Sky)

From Alpha to Omega (2004 album)
1: The Creator http://www.furaffinity.net/view/279587/
2: Reflections http://www.furaffinity.net/view/281835/
3: Guardian of Memories http://www.furaffinity.net/view/284455/
4: Holy War http://www.furaffinity.net/view/286583/
5: Devils and Angels http://www.furaffinity.net/view/296825/
6: The Sage who Became a Star http://www.furaffinity.net/view/300118/
7: Albion http://www.furaffinity.net/view/304173/
8: The Doomsday Project http://www.furaffinity.net/view/315818/

Unsung Legends (2005 album)
1: The Promised Land http://www.furaffinity.net/view/237867/
2: Fall of an Empire http://www.furaffinity.net/view/237895/
3: Miracle Maker http://www.furaffinity.net/view/238470/

5: The Shadow and the Flame http://www.furaffinity.net/view/240390/
6: Memory of Babylon http://www.furaffinity.net/view/241564/
7: Born from a Wish http://www.furaffinity.net/view/242413/
8: Leaving the World Behind http://www.furaffinity.net/view/243050/
9: A Night at the Opera http://www.furaffinity.net/view/245842/ (I think this is a cover of Final Fantasy VI Opera song)


And some interesting covers:
-Sonata Arctica - Kingdom of a Heart http://www.furaffinity.net/view/327518/ (Not sure about the year, but it has to be 2005-06, because the snare is the 2nd one he ever used)
-Heavenly - The Dark Memories http://www.furaffinity.net/view/477343/ (2007, cancelled it seems)
-Albion - A Thousand Lives http://www.furaffinity.net/view/477343/ (2008 real guitar experiment)
-Star Fox (SNES) - Corneria theme http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5078530/ (2011, cancelled)
