Ilium:
What a band!
Ausi ausi!

Ah I like the clean singing, you can actually understand what the singer sings...BWV said:Guitars sound good, but the clean singing has to go.
Ian Gillan or Ray Gillen? I got more Ronnie James Dio or maybe Rob Halford but yes, basically anyone that did vocals for Black Sabbath.hmmm27 said:Yeah; I was all geared up for "Ya aaa ;agYSFSSE ;RUWEIGIDDSAHSCZCXVCV" and then ... Oh, Ian Gillen(sp?) moved to Oz.
The reason for my like is, that I like metal with a tune you can call melody. They aren't a band I would consider to become one of my favorites, but I wanted to signal the OP that there are indeed people who like that kind of music, too.pbuk said:Ian Gillan or Ray Gillen?

Guitars very Scorpions/MSG/UFO: @fresh_42 is this the reason for your like?
Drummer let's them down, there's more to blast beat than cranking the tempo knob to max on the kick-drum.
I liked Lemmy.pbuk said:Well that serves me right for thinking in national stereotypes.
Deep Purple were the greatest bunch of players ever. 1969-73 with Gillan and Glover. No contest.hmmm27 said:Deep Purple vibe... too busy for my tastes, but nice articulation on the guitar.
I do like the Battle Rages on:pinball1970 said:Deep Purple were the greatest bunch of players ever. 1969-73 with Gillan and Glover. No contest.

Also their latest album I have it, interesting; but I don't like the mellow songs.
For me the Celestial Sphere of Ilium sounds like no other tune I have heard.pinball1970 said:I am not sure about the “unreleased BBC tapes part” but when I listened to this first time I was blown away.
This is 5 musicians enjoying playing, talent to burn, chemistry – no one could touch them.
From a drummer point of view some of the things he does are fantastic, very difficult especially the bass drum on Mandrake Root and Space Truckin’

The reunion in the 80s had a different sound and I did not like it much (or much 1980s stuff) so I switched off on later Albums
The Celestial Sphere sounds more like Iron Maiden to me
I will listen to more!MathematicalPhysicist said:For me the Celestial Sphere of Ilium sounds like no other tune I have heard.
Jason Hodges from Ilium deserves more recognition; terrific sound.
