| 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Page(s) |
| V2 | V2 | 1988 | Noise Records
ID: N 0114-3 |  | Melodic Hard Heavy Metal | It would be just not bad Melodic Hard&Heavy if
there weren't such excellent vocals on this album. So we have another
best example of German Melodic Metal. |
| V2 | Out to Launch | 1990 | Noise Records
ID: CDP 564-7 94261 2 |  | Hard Heavy Metal | The singer's changed, the music's changed, now it's
typical Hard&Heavy in US Glammy style. Nevertheless there are some not
bad guitar works there. |
| V8 Wankers | The Demon Tweak | 2005 | Rude Records
ID: rude 006 |  | Hard Rock | It's Rock'n'Rollish music with many repetitions in Motorhead style. This music is just for distraction someone's mind from the modern Metal streams which captivated world music as it is. |
| Vai, Steve | Fire Garden | 1996 | Epic Records
ID: 485062 2 | | experimental Hard Heavy Metal | Every solo guitarist has a possibility to play what he
wants and how he wants. Steve Vai isn't an exception. This album is
experimental enough, trendy Funky US Hard Rock enough, Gary Moore-ish enough. |
| Vainglory | 2050 | 2001 | Leviathan Records
ID: RBR/LCR 2750 | | Melodic Power Heavy Progressive Metal | It's unexpectedly fast music from the band sheltered by irrepressible David Chastain. The guitars are similar to Friedman of Megadeth era. In general it's very good release especially because of just wonderful guitar works and melodic arrangements. |
| Valentines | Bon Scott with the Valentines - The Early Years | 1991 | C-Five Records
ID: C5CD 520 |  | Rock | |
| Valhalla | Nightbreed | 2003 | GoiMusic
ID: GOI 2003 16 | | Melodic Speed Power Metal | It's a mixture of everything except originality. You may find here
Rhapsody, Gamma Ray/Iron Savior, Judas Priest/Primal Fear, Manowar - these
bands are very good, but it's not interesting to listen to their pale
copy. |
| Valiance | Wayfaring | 2002 | Black Lotus Records
ID: MHR 086 | | Power Metal | This music isn't typical for Italy, it's close to Blind Guardian with some Prog and some Melodic elements. About sound: I don't undertake to rise this band over others, but this music can like not only for few persons. |
| Valkija | Avengers of Steel | 2004 | Sonic Age Records
ID: SARECD 001 | | Heavy Power Metal | Do you miss early Oliva's high-pitched screams? You have a chance to listen to them again on this album! No, there isn't real Oliva on this release but the female vocals (which sound like the male vocals) sometimes are very similar. In general this music can be described as Savatage (because of the vocals) and Metal Church with some powerful elements typical for the bands from 80s. |
| Valkyria | Valkyria | 1993 | Death City Records | | experimental Thrash Progressive Metal | Yes, everything knows about experiments in Progressive Metal, it's no miracle to listen to Thrash/Prog, but Progressive experiments in Thrash is something new. The music is fast and slow, let it be Kreator as Thrash example, I don't say examples for experimental Prog, but I note that some tracks with the keys remind me of Bal-Sagoth. |
| Valley's Eve | Deception of Pain | 2002 | Limb Music Products
ID: LMP 0302-039 CD | | Heavy Progressive Metal | Is it Limb again? Oh, this album corresponds to it. This one is close to Iced Earth (in Heavy format), or it's a mixture of Sinner, Accept, Elegy, etc. I found there many repetitions of the riffs and music of other bands... |
| Valley's Eve | The Atmosphere of Silence | 1999 | B.Mind Records
ID: 27003 |  | Melodic Progressive Power Heavy Metal | These songs just pour on you, I haven't heard such excellent Melodic Prog long ago! It's enough to listen to just the vocals and the guitar solos there! |
| Vampyr | Cry Out for Metal | 1986 | Hot Blood Records
ID: SSR-DY16 | | Speed Heavy Metal | It's always not a surprise to discover the forgotten bands
from the past in the current time, fortunately many bands of 80s come
alive again, reissue old works, etc. I want you to meet one of that
bands: Vampyre. They played fast Heavy, early Speed and Power, it's
something in style Running Wild, Accept, Grave Digger, Judas Priest,
etc. |
| Van Canto | Tribe of Force | 2010 | Napalm Records
ID: irond cd 10-1688 |  | Heavy Metal | The main unique feature of this band is not only many
vocalists, some guests and one drummer, but an unique imitation of the
guitars and the bass guitar by these vocals. Though some songs are
similar to each other, it doesn't deprive an originality. |
| Vanden Plas | AcCult | 1996 | Dream Circle Records | | Progressive Metal | |
| Vanden Plas | The God Thing | 1997 | InsideOutMusic | | Progressive Metal | |
| Vanden Plas | Far Off Grace | 1999 | InsideOutMusic | | Progressive Metal | |
| Vanden Plas | Beyond Daylight | 2001 | InsideOutMusic | | Progressive Metal | |
| Vanden Plas | Christ 0 | 2006 | InsideOutMusic
ID: IOMCD 239 | | Progressive Metal | This album unites not only different Progressive musical streams but melodic music also, it's not often event for true Progressive bands. This album is close to Dream Theater of 90s - not very heavy melodic Progressive. |
| Vanderhoof | A Blur in Time | 2002 | SPV
ID: SPV 085-74182 CD | | Hard Rock | The positive sign is that it's not Metal Church, drawback
is that it would be better for me if it was Metal Church copy. Indeed
it's something in style Uriah Heep without Byron and Hensley. |
| Vanexa | Against the Sun | 1994 | Minotauro Records
ID: M 9402 | | Hard Heavy Metal | This Bluesy Hard&Heavy is nice and easy for listening,
the music is good enough. This album sounds more in the style of 80s
than it is in sober fact. |
| Vanishing Point | Tangled in Dream | 2000 | Limb Music Products
ID: LMP 0011-024 CD | | Melodic Progressive Heavy Metal | It's just good Melodic Metal with many pretty tunes. I found on this album some Royal Hunts melodic touches. |
| Vanishing Point | In Thought | 1997 | Samson Productions
ID: SKAN 8216.AR | | Heavy Progressive Power Metal | We can meet a talent band not very often but when it happens... Vanishing Point indeed is a very good band that's able to unite Melodic, Heavy and Progressive in very interesting and original music. |
| Vanishing Point | Embrace the Silence | 2005 | Dockyard 1 | | Melodic Heavy Power Progressive Metal | Who else tries to support of Australian music prosperity? AC/DC only? No, Vanishing Point's still alive and plays European music, melodic music, powerful music - in other words, it's still that interesting music which nominated this band on the high level of the world fame. |
| Vanishing Point | The Fourth Season | 2007 | Dockyard 1
ID: DY 100382 | | Melodic Heavy Power Metal | It's very good that the band didn't change anything in the music and still play Melodic Heavy with Power and Progressive elements. Keep it up! |
| Vanitas | Das Leben ein Traum | 2000 | CCP Records
ID: cdm 1101-748 | | Doom Gothic Metal | |
| Vanitas | Der Schatten Einer Existenz | 2002 | CCP Records
ID: cdm 0302-812 | | Doom Gothic Metal | |
| Vanize | Bootlicker | 1999 | Breaker Records
ID: SPV 085-57382 CD | | Heavy Metal | Dirkschneiders' family hasn't got a quietness. It's absolutely U.D.O./Accept-like music (and vocal, of course) but music is more powerful. Sometimes it's melodic, but usually it's like Primal Fear. |
| Vanize | Highproof | 2000 | Breaker Records
ID: NB 536-2 |  | Heavy Metal | This Dirkschneider family's guy is Udo completely, he's also with Brian Johnson intonations. The music is total Accept and U.D.O. I think this band hasn't anything that is possible to discuss. |
| Vanize | Raw | 2006 | Dee Productions
ID: myst cd 020 | | Heavy Metal | It's still a mixture of Accept and Judas Priest. This band did nothing to be original, they just follow the way of their big brother with an addition of Judas Priest sound. |
