| M.S. | Rugina Nu Moare | 2002 | selfproduction ID: HMMCD01 |  | Melodic Heavy Metal | This music is based on Judas Priest ideas by the music and by the vocals
also (by the way some singer's screams are very very good). But it's not
the limit in the music: there are Accept and Grave Digger intonations also
there. This album is excellent by memorable tracks and by non-standard
tunes. | |
| M.Z. | Romantic | 2004 | Thundering Association ID: SS0910 |  | Melodic | It's not the brand new invention to make the variations on classic, near classic or classic-like music. This project was able to unite melodiousness of the guitars and low-activity choirs in the background (I think it's even so an instrumental album with the choirs as the additional decoration), an absence of stupid copying of Bach or Beethoven and at last - Power Metal. | |
| MacAlpine - Aldridge - Rock - Sarzo (M.A.R.S.) | Project: Driver | 1986 | Shrapnel Records |  | Heavy Metal | This album sometimes reminds of Grave Digger, War Games times. Music is good, guitars, keys and especially vocals are very interesting. | |
| MacAlpine, Tony | Edge of Insanity | 1986 | RoadRunner Records |  | Melodic Heavy Metal | | |
| MacAlpine, Tony | Maximum Security | 1987 | Polygram Records |  | Melodic Hard Heavy Metal | This album is the one of the most Malmsteen-like albums. But I defined a thought why MacAlpine differs from Malmsteen: MacAlpine doesn't use the vocals at all so he plays the solos permanently unlike Malmsteen. | |
| MacAlpine, Tony | Freedom to Fly | 1992 | Shrapnel Records |  | Metal | | |
| MacAlpine, Tony | Evolution | 1995 | Shrapnel Records ID: SH-1087-2 |  | Metal | | |
| MacAlpine, Tony | Master of Paradise | 1999 | Shrapnel Records ID: SH-11352 |  | Metal | | |
| MacAlpine, Tony | Violent Machine | 1996 | Lion Music ID: LMC 2209 2 |  | Metal | | |
| MacAlpine, Tony | Chromaticity | 2001 | Shrapnel Records |  | Metal | | |
| Machine Men | Scars & Wounds | 2003 | Dynamic Arts Records ID: cdm 0804-1960 |  | Melodic Progressive Heavy Metal | When this band plays Prog it's Queensryche, when it's just melodious Heavy, we hear different but the same side of the music - Iron Maiden. The only difference is that Machine Men uses heavier guitar sound than Queensryche and Iron Maiden do. | |
| Machine Men | Elegies | 2005 | Century Media Records ID: fo521cd |  | Melodic Heavy Progressive Metal | It's a musically complete continuation of the previous work. It's still Iron Maiden in Progressive - Queensryche from the first notes of this album. | |
| Machine Men | Circus of Fools | 2006 | Century Media Records ID: fo661cd |  | Melodic Progressive Heavy Metal | What does the band need? Play the music what they like to play. Do they need Queensryche again? No problem! Dream Theater? Everything's possible! So this release brings us their new wishes with something melodious and even catching, not bad wishes to play worthy music! | |
| Mactatus | Provenance of Cruelty | 1999 | Napalm Records ID: NPR057 |  | Melodic Black Metal | Seems to me, it's a standard music like other standard Melodic Black bands with the standard sound. | |
| Mad Dragzter | Strong Mind | 2002 | selfproduction ID: MADZ001CD |  | Thrash Metal | Thrash is Thrash, No one can be wondered at US way Thrash. But this guys try to vary music by acoustic parts, some Doom tracks or just Heavy. So something good is in this music. | |
| Mad Max | Never Say Never | 1999 | Point Music ID: 10095 |  | AOR Glam Hard Heavy Metal | This music sets me thinking it's Heavy Metal version of Bee Gees, of course in the mixture of many Hard&Heavy/Glam bands. Also there are some NWOBHM elements on this album, e.g. something similar to Def Leppard. | |
| Mad Max | Night of White Rock | 2006 | Metal Heaven ID: myst cd 085 |  | Melodic AOR Hard Heavy Metal | This music is still based on European pop Hard&Heavy traditions with
Smokie and Europe (the band) elements (especial the choirs, the vocals and
musical themes). This album is really AOR because of calm and trendy sound
with nice but standard musicians' work. | |
| Mad Max | White Sands | 2007 | AOR Heaven ID: myst cd 230 |  | AOR Melodic Hard Rock | Mad Max continues to play melodic Hard Rock in the traditions of the past times. The music is calm and soft, it's a really music for retirees. | |
| Madam X | We Reserve the Right | 1984 | Jet Records ID: JETLP 242 |  | Glam Metal | This album is nothing but rare recording - this release is hard to find. In general it's common US music of 80s - Glam is Glam everywhere; the guitars and the vocals are good. | |
| Madd Hunter | Madd Hunter | 1997 | GME Records ID: GME 0002 |  | Heavy Metal | This band works in the traditions of classic epic US Heavy bands of 80s. It's mid-tempo measured songs with the good guitar works and the good tunes reckoned on a good remembrance of the listeners. | |
| Madog | Fairytales of Darkness | 2002 | Sound Riot Records ID: cdm 1203-1655 |  | Speed Power Metal | Spiritually it's Blind Guardian with some Stratovarius riffs. The main
feature of this album and maybe of the band at all is the good fast guitar
solos in Hansen style. | |
| Madsword | The Global Village | 2000 | Underground Symphony ID: cdm 1202-1246 |  | Progressive Heavy Metal | Though they're Europeans (Italians), they play US Prog in Dream Theater / Queensryche style with some Melodic and experimental elements. They use many keys (I think it's excessive), for the rest they're just another Prog/Heavy band. | |
| Magellan | Hour of Restoration | 1991 | Magna Carta |  | AOR Art Progressive Metal | I didn't like classic (= standard) Magna Carta releases from the very beginning. This album is a mixture of vocals and keys oriented AOR plus of faceless Prog/Art in spirit of Genesis. | |
| Magic Kingdom | The Arrival | 1999 | Mausoleum Records ID: cdm 0802-962 |  | Heavy Power Progressive Metal | This is At Vance number two. This is a copy after copy, literal Malmsteen, Stratovarius and many more. It's close to Skylark by the vocals and three-chord tunes. | |
| Magic Kingdom | Metallic Tragedy | 2004 | Limb Music Products ID: LMP 0403-068 DP |  | Melodic Power Heavy Metal | I don't know how to describe it better, but I wasn't able to listen to the end of this album and turned the disk off during the last but one track. I couldn't continue to waste my time listening to this Malmsteen-like music with monotonous sound. | |
| Magister | Magister | 2000 | PRW Distributions ID: P&D 008 |  | Melodic Heavy Speed Power Metal | It's a classic Brazilian band (I mean that their music is typical for
Brazilian bands), there are good tunes, interesting guitars, etc. on this
album. This album sounds like home-made product because of cheap sound
engineering and echoes during singing of their vocalist. Unfortunately,
they experiment with radio sounds and something else, I think it doesn't
add anything good to their music. | |
| Magnit | Den' Gneva (The Day of the Anger) | 1987 | Melodiya Record Company |  | Speed Heavy Metal | It's one of the huge wave of Heavy Metal bands of 80s which tried to play
faster, more powerful and with symphonic parts but they lived a short
life. Magnit was one of those bands. They played music with good fast
guitar solos and nice keys, many of the tracks are very interesting. | |
| Magnitude 9 | Chaos to Control | 1998 | InsideOutMusic |  | Progressive Metal | Another dry and dim Dream Theater clone. The only plus is a good work of guitar player. A huge minus is absence of memorable tunes. | |
| Magnitude 9 | Reality in Focus | 2001 | InsideOutMusic ID: SPV 085-41262 CD |  | Progressive Metal | | |
| Magnitude 9 | Decoding the Soul | 2003 | InsideOutMusic ID: IOMCD 197 |  | Hard Heavy Progressive Metal | They have changed their style! Though they dived into other ocean - US Hard&Heavy. They don't make anything special but there is no Dream Theater anymore. | |
