Seven Kingdoms vs Orden Ogan 🚀Stargazer vs In The Dawn of the AI 🚀Heavy metal battle of the bands

[@Миллиончик-и8ю]

Hi Mike and Anamaria! We'd like to listen to Aria "The ballad of the Old Russian warrior " (Баллада о древнерусском воине) vs Iron Maiden "Aleksandr the Great " or another alternative)

[@MetalAcademix]

I like the idea of a Battle of warriors, we will think about it, great suggestion! - Anamaria

Part of the sound difference (conversation at roughly 20:00 ) is the production. Orden Ogan has that 'wall of sound', where everything is maxed out. And also "quantized" as Rick Beato describes it, where every note has been artificially corrected thru the digital recording program to land exactly on time. Where as, the Seven Kingdoms recording, while very good and certainly professionally done, keeps a bit of the human element to it.

I enjoyed very much the theme of this episode and I think there could be more space battles in the future. I read a comment below that Avantasia has a song called Stargazers. I thought of one old Nightwish song with the same name. So maybe you can do a battle of Stargazers next time?

[@MetalAcademix]

Good idea, thanks for the Battle rec. - Anamaria

[@vincem3748]

Interesting. "Stargazers" is one of my favorite Avantasia songs! Also, Iced Earth is from Florida 🇺🇲

[@MetalAcademix]

Avantasia's Stargazers is an epic song, which I always remember because it has Kiske as one of the guest vocalists. Now that I listen to it directly after Seven Kingdom's song, it sounds as if *that* would have also been a good battle. Need to think more of Avantasia songs to include them on the channel, thanks for the reminder! -Anamaria

@@MetalAcademix no problem, thanks!

[@rasmusandreasson9694]

I forgot to say that my vote goes for Orden Ogan in this battle, I was not so happy about the wooohooohoo chorus for the Seven Kingdoms, a bit too pop style for me.

I'd love to see a band review for Mercyful Fate, especially their first two albums when King Diamond was their lead singer!

[@sopwithsnoopy8779]

Savatage was also from Florida 🤘

[@MetalAcademix]

Oh, a big one that we missed! What is it about Florida... ;) -Anamaria

[@molledar]

Also, Kamelot is originally from Florida.

[@MetalAcademix]

Wow, I also forgot about Kamelot! So many metal bands from Florida #mystery - Anamaria

[@wayneyeadon9680]

Seven Kingdoms reminded me more of Ancient Bards from this track anyway. Not heard them before. Have to favour Orden Ogan though, a much better band for me personally.
