van Canto? Really? Never did understand the appeal myself.

borisfett4830d ago

But you are forgiven because Machinae Supremacy are in there.

Sidology4829d ago

Well, of COURSE they are on there.

Sidology4829d ago

They're more of a novelty above anything, but I'm incredibly in love with the talent.

Being able to do just about everything with the voice, it's an excellent display of control and discipline.

Herminator4830d ago

Very nice list, the only one I can think of that's missing is Anamanaguchi.

Sidology4829d ago

The reason I left Anamanaguchi off is because their music is too compressed and makes for absolutely unlistenable quality. It's atrociously loud and while it's charming and cute (for the Scott Pilgrim game and their original stuff), I get a headache from listening to it.

There's no dynamic range, and while that IS a throwback to way-back-when, it should not be happening with modern recording techniques.

SeraphimBlade4829d ago

Holy crap, now I need to play Sacred 2 just for Blind Guardian.

What about Poets of the Fall? Their songs were used in Alan Wake and Max Payne, and in Wake they wrote and performed the songs of the fictional metal band Old Gods of Asgard, and the songs played a major role in the story.

Sidology4829d ago

Hey, thanks for your comment! Didn't actually think about Poets of the Fall, but if I should have a "runner-up" list, they'll definitely be on there.

Castlevania Symphony of the Night says, 'not so fast there, Ollie'.

Fusion did a great job at it. Really love that horror feel with metroid. I mean you are completely alone on alien planets filled with horrific monsters and toxic environments.
