Title: Albion - amiga/sega-like power metal music
Post by: DJ Omnimaga 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

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)
