The Savage Poetry, released in 2000, is a re-recording of the album Savage Poetry, originally launched in 1995 as a demo by German power metal band Edguy. This version is also seen and referred to as their fourth official studio album…

Neo-classical metal band Edguy were formed in Fulda, Germany in 1992 by then-students Tobias Sammet, Jens Ludwig, Dominik Storch, and Dirk Sauer. Although they were only 14 at the time, the young bandmembers worked on original material, and by 1994 they had released two demos…

There is a certain charm to an album like this from a historical standpoint, particularly for anybody who still wanted a more flashy and fun style of metal/rock that cut against the "Alternative" ideal of dumbed down songwriting and morose or mundane lyrics about how much the world sucks, because this is about as clear of a rejection of the decade it was born from that one could find.

RADIANT is an AOR/Melodic Hard Rock from Germany and this is a review of their first full length, self-titled debut. It has all the hallmarks of the genre but Herbie must be commended for his performance. In essence, he sings his ass off; his vocals reminds me of a more melodic version of styles by AC/DC and ACCEPT. Markus Beck comes in a close second for this album’s MVP, his exceptionally melodic bass shines through on each track…
