Forever Storm are a newer, younger band from Kragujevac, Serbia who play a downright infectious (if none too subtle) blend of classic and power metal. ‘Battle Cry’ comes off of their first album Soul Revolution, an album which features lyrics with some environmental and patriotic themes but for the most part is just good, straightforward, honest heavy metal.
Ария were the first Soviet heavy metal band, as I mentioned before, and their music takes some fairly heavy cues from Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and the Scorpions. However, they played around with these influences (particularly on their first album Мания Величия, or Megalomania) in some rather interesting ways. ‘Волонтёр’ here borders on being a progressive metal song at times, actually, in spite of (or perhaps because of) its very Maidenish structure and rhythm.
Enjoy!
