Power metal

hekz

Screeching and squealing out of England with all of the bombast and bravado of their heroes comes HeKz. From hi-octane rockers to long drawn out epics, they'll take you on a journey through all things musical and mythical without losing that much needed sense of fun. With 2 well received EPs (and a 3rd fresh off the press and currently making waves) and a wealth of gigging experience under their collective belt, the band continues to thrive and, in the words of a certain Mr Tony Iommi, "keeps the flag flying!"

Vougan

Vougan was formed in july 2005 by the musicians Acácio Carvalho, G Zus and Hugo Santiago (ex-Dark Avengers), with the intent to make a type of music really free on the style of the compositions. Still without a keyboard player, Felipe K. (ex-Bad Wolf) was invited to join the project and adpted pretty well on the band´s profile, bringing his influences and combining it into the songs that was being composed. Even without vocalist, the composing process was being executed by the band. So they invited Carlos Zema(Heaven´s Guardian) to take part on the team and help them to consolide their work.

Cloven Hoof

Here is what BNR Metal Pages has about Cloven Hoof: Cloven Hoof burst onto the NWOBHM scene with quite some flair, featuring outlandish stage costumes (heavy Kiss- style makeup, futuristic-looking clothing), and bearing the stage names of Air (Lee Payne), Water (David Potter), Fire (Steve Rounds), and Earth (Kevin Poutney). The music (on their debut EP) was actually pretty good, bearing a heavy, dark NWOBHM sound with a slightly spacey feel to it.

Fairyland

French symphonic power metal band created by Philippe Giordana and Willdric Lievin in 2000. They chose Elisa C. Martin (ex-Dark Moor, Dreamaker) for the vocals. In 2003, Willdric and Elisa left to create a new band (Hamka), so they picked Max Leclercq (Magic Kingdom) as new singer. Following the release of their first demo, Tribute to Universe, their basic metal style began evolving into something more fantastic and symphonic, to which their second demo, Realm of Wonders, attests.
