damn you, never got to see em live...yet.
and yes i know what you're talkin about, winterhearts guild. i'm getting it when ever its out. i heard it's like a post apocalyptic world. a action/rpg type. right up my alley. i hope the actual game play is good. videos don't suggest that but, i am hopeful.
that and well the music will be sonata '****in' arctica!
can't pass up a chance of having a game with their music on it. kinda has a special feel to it, collectors item even.
well, i can only agree to disagree at that, and strongly.
i can't think of anyone who appeals to me the way sonata does. straovarious is as close as i can think, maybe dream theater. but the solos they play (henrik kicks ass!) and tonys' voice is amazing.
i love the raw emotion they deliever. i hate to admit it but, they are emo metal. hypothetically that is. as far as what they are usually catagorizied, they are a prog/power metal band.
i wouldn't call em generic in any fashion.
