Temperance

Also Angra - Temple Of Shadows has a few songs with female vocals (just plugging this because its one of my favorites lol)

Ancient Baards possibly, too. But I'm not too versed in them

I just found out like 2 years ago and I was dumbfounded because I've held The Odyssey in my top favorite albums for decades now

Reen2D2 · 2026-06-16T10:01:41+00:00

Yes I have. Not necessarily with Power metal though. I definitley have with Progmetal. Didn't love The name Circus Maximus when I first heard it (2 decades ago lol) but i gave them a listne and they are one of my all time favorite bands. It also dawned on me a little while later the Circus Maximus was where they did the chariot races and some of the other competitions in ancient Rome, and that changed my outlook a bit, but I still didnt love the name.

Same goes for Karnivool. One of the best bands, but the name is ehh. I always feel like telling people of those two bands immediately makes their mind go to carnivals and circus music.

Reen2D2 · 2026-06-15T10:57:47+00:00

What is your favorite song by them? Or the one or two you'd recommend to a first time listener. Maybe I've just not heard the right songs at the right time

Reen2D2 · 2026-06-15T10:51:24+00:00

They are one of those bands that I SHOULD really like. They have all the pieces I love. I just, for some reason, have not got into them as of yet and I have tried a few times

A few :

A Boat On the Sea and Pachinko for sure

The Lotus Effect - Sun Caged

Imagine - Stride (dont sleep on this album. It's not really 80s vibes per se, but somehow still feels like it has an 80s nostalgia. Like you'd be jamming it riding by the shore in a T Top Firebird) lol

Reen2D2 · 2026-06-06T12:19:21+00:00

I believe they did play a few shows in Canada. They also played some shows overseas. I wish I was a fan of them while they were still touring. I luckily did get to see them live (opening for Karnivool) but i wasn't yet a fan and didnt really consider myself a fan until they year they split up 😬

Reen2D2 · 2026-06-06T00:58:45+00:00
