| Stainless Steel (Germany) | Molten Metal in Your Back | 2005 | Karthago Records ID: KR 015 |  | Melodic Heavy Power Metal | Strangely, the first part of this CD is not fast version of Helloween, no Gamma Ray, no - what is sweeter and trendier than Gamma Ray? Yeah, it's like joyful Freedom Call but on classic Heavy speed of 80s. Then music turned into Judas Priest, sometimes in sluggish Heavy. |
| Stairway | The Other Side of Midnight | 2006 | selfproduction ID: DEOCD305 |  | Heavy Metal | It's Heavy with the traditions of Hard Rock. Though there is
nothing new in the music, nevertheless it's just not bad album like no
other. |
| Stalwart | Abyss Ahead | 2008 | CD-Maximum ID: cdm 0308-2856 |  | Death Black Metal | It was marked as Technical Thrash... Technical - yes,
there are some complex sound and Progressive elements, Thrash - no,
it's Death in In Flames style with some Black touches. |
| Stalwart | Jerk | 2001 | Fono ID: SZCD 2578-04 |  | Death Thrash Metal | It's not so fast for Thrash, and not so brutal for
Death. This first band's EP is close to modern US Death/Thrash bands
with some Hardcorish sound. |
| Stamina | Permanent Damage | 2007 | Heart of Steel Records ID: HOS 0703 |  | Melodic Heavy Power Progressive Metal | What is the first thought in my head during
the listening to this album? Doesn't it sound like Royal Hunt? Indeed,
this band has many Royal Hunt features including keys, choirs and some
musical parts. |
| Stamina | Two of a Kind | 2010 | IceWarrior Records ID: IWR-6 |  | Melodic Heavy Metal | Some pieces of Edguy and Royal Hunt, some pieces of
something else, voila, it's Stamina. So it's decent Heavy with
melodious and Progressive elements. |
| Star One | Space Metal | 2002 | InsideOutMusic ID: 6 93723 65042 5 |  | Progressive Heavy Metal | |
| Star One | Live on Earth (video) | 2003 | InsideOutMusic |  | Progressive Metal | No comment. |
| Star One | Victims of the Modern Age | 2010 | InsideOutMusic ID: IOMSECD 334 |  | Hard Heavy Metal | Am I tired from Lucassen's projects? I don't hope so but
it's a fact - this work is just another version of circum-Ayreon
music. It's a nice music without any new idea. |
| Star Queen | Faithbringer | 2002 | Lion Music ID: LMC2228 2 |  | Melodic Heavy Power Metal | Heavy with female vocals isn't a rarity nowadays.
Especially when we have a band without any innovation in the music -
the forgettable songs along with female voices. |
| Starbreaker | Loves Dying Wish | 2008 | Frontiers Records ID: irond cd 08-dd653 |  | AOR | The band has another album but I already are not going to get it.
It's trendy Hard Rock/AOR, probably with some Queensryche touches and
with very bored for me music. |
| Stargazer | The Genesis of the Prophecy | 2009 | Virtuoso Records |  | Melodic Heavy Metal | I read Arthur Falcone was a guitar teacher for Luca
Turilli (Rhapsody of Fire) so some fast Stargazer's songs could be
compared with Rhapsody (of Fire), or vice versa. It's Melodic Heavy in
few words with some Malmsteen-like songs style (not guitars), with
very interesting sound, memorable songs and the perfect guitar work. |
| Stargazery | Eye on the Sky | 2011 | Pure Legend Records ID: RBNCD-1040 |  | Melodic Heavy Metal | It's not fast melodious music that reminds me of
Stratovarius very much. There are really good and interesting songs
along with the perfect musicians' work. |
| Staryy Gorod | Volch'ya Yama (Pitfall) | 1989 | selfproduction ID: cdm 0111-2998/2999 |  | Heavy Metal | It's an absolutely underground music by the sound: the echoed
vocals, guitar, some rhythm and that's all as a matter of fact. The
bonus CD with the live album consists of even more interesting
material I think. |
| Status | Ispoved' / Confession | 1989 | Melodiya Record Company ID: C60 29549 008 |  | Hard Heavy Metal | As well as the other bands it's not very original, but good enough band,
which plays Hard&Heavy based on classic Hard Rock influences. The
music's good, at least there are some not bad tracks on this album. |
| Staya | Strana L'dov (The Country of the Ice) | 2005 | Fono ID: fo500cd |  | Heavy Power Metal | Many Heavy Metal bands from Russia and the nearest countries are cut out by
the one sample - local band Ariya. Ariya is good but not original band at
all, so what can we say about the bands which are similar to not primary
band? Nevertheless, this album presents us not bad music, especially I can
distinguish the ballads and the fast songs. |
| Steel Aggressor | From Ruins to Dust | 2011 | Stormspell Records ID: SSR-DL63 |  | Thrash Metal | No, it's not well-known Thrash, it's something more. The music
is various and interesting and of course it doesn't sound like early
Metallica! |
| Steel Assassin | From the Vaults | 1997 | GME Records ID: 8803005 |  | Heavy Speed Metal | All this flow of the historical music comes down on me. I don't know maybe
it's something like a mixture of Iron Maiden, very early Savatage, very
early Stratovarius and classic Candlemass. Sometimes it's a bit boring
because of Candlemass influences though there are very good fast tracks on
this album. |
| Steel Assassin | War of the Eight Saints | 2007 | Sentinel Steel ID: SSTEEL 63020 |  | Power Metal | The first moments of this album say that they made hay of you.
But then the music returned to not fast songs, bored a bit, it seems
it's like on the first release. |
| Steel Assassin | WWII: Metal of Honor | 2012 | selfproduction ID: S.A.R. 02 |  | Heavy Metal | What do I Hear?! An average album from the band with the
glorious past? This work is powerful Heavy with just few good songs
during this long album. |
| Steel Attack | Where Mankinds Fails | 1999 | AFM Records ID: cdm 0801-645 |  | Melodic Speed Power Metal | |
| Steel Attack | Fall into the Madness | 2001 | AFM Records ID: cdm 0801-646 |  | Melodic Speed Power Metal | |
| Steel Attack | Predator of the Empire | 2003 | Arise Records ID: irond cd 03-478 |  | Melodic Speed Power Metal | Unlike other Melodic Speed&Power this album is very strong and fast.
This album reminds me of Gamma Ray (of late years) very much. I'd like to
note very good vocal and the guitar works. |
| Steel Attack | Enslaved | 2004 | Arise Records ID: cdm 1004-2073 |  | Speed Power Metal | ...And the attack continues endlessly... The band exactly continues its
fast and strong music way. Everything else is the same - no originality
and labored music. |
| Steel Attack | Diabolic Symphony | 2006 | Massacre Records ID: myst cd 130 |  | Melodic Power Progressive Metal | Don't ask me how many albums of an ordinary music are in the world and how many such albums will wait to drop down on our heads. Steel Attack isn't a bad band, their music is high-skilled, but it's tired to listen to the monotonous music from album to album... |
| Steel Attack | Carpe DiEnd | 2008 | Massacre Records ID: irond cd 08-1427 |  | Power Progressive Metal | At last the band devoted energies to compose more or less
interesting music. This is really good album, powerful with
Progressive elements and lots of non-typical decisions. |
| Steel Horse | Wild Power | 2009 | Stormspell Records ID: SSR-DL48 |  | Heavy Metal | It's good modern Heavy without modern trends. The music has
everything but an originality so it's just another good Heavy Metal
band of the modern age. |
| Steel Prophet | Inner Ascendance | 1989 | Steve Kachinsky Records |  | Speed Power Metal | It's a demo. And this demo is an extremely good one. In fact it's all the
same that was later musically (stylistically) used. And how hard their
singer tried! They are just fine fellows! |
| Steel Prophet | The Goddess Principle | 1995 | Brainstorm ID: 50401 |  | Speed Power Metal | |
| Steel Prophet | Dark Hallucinations | 1999 | Nuclear Blast |  | Metal | |
