spacciathemax Ciao a tutti! This is a great CD: 1640 by the German band Whirlwind. The historical concept and powerful music create a really positive vibe for the listener. I really like these guys because, while they follow the path blazed by 80s bands like Running Wild, Heaven’s Gate, X-Wild, and Iced Earth, they don't just copy them.They’ve developed their own well-defined sound. They aren't quite on the level of Triumpher or Eternal Champion yet, but they’ll get there with time because they are damn good. Favorite track: Winds Of Ash And Dust.
