Track Of The Day - The Guardians Edition

A fast heavy metal standout by Grand Magus:

A true symphonic trance metal anthem, so heavy and theatrical:

An adventurous part of a new solo release by Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson:

A true grand experience of every old and new thing DragonForce has done, with some of the most adventurous ideas the band has had to date:

An Alestorm-esque heavy/power metal anthem worth singing along to:

As I'm slowly rebuilding my power metal interest again thanks to one of my outside-world friends, going an entire life without listening to this band would be a sin for any fan of dark power metal:

The perfect climax of Wintersun's debut with epic majesty in the music and lyrics:

My favorite track from Time I with melodic beauty in the riffing and orchestration that can please metalheads with its swaying melancholy:

After revisiting a couple Wintersun releases yesterday, today I decided to listen to last year's instrumental single "Warning". I know not a lot of people like this sudden cyber djent twist in symphonic metal, but I do. This totally reminds me of Mechina and Neurotech, and I've listened to enough of those two bands to be used to this. Just be aware that the upcoming Time II is never going to take on that kind of style, since the majority of that album was recorded many years prior.
