I didn't knew any band from the Czech Republic, before starting to do my research for this chronicle, so I started digging, and got a few bands, listen to them, some weren't anything good, but soon enough I had three pretty good bands, only one missing to finish the post.
But then, going deeper, into the less popular bands of the country, I started bumping on some bands playing great Metal, full of potential, waiting to be be shown to the world, and to my own surprise, had to transform this into a two post chronicle.
So let's leave the most popular Czech bands for the next post, because I can't wait to show you what I uncovered.
Olaf Hayer is a well known Power Metal singer. He is the singer for Magic Kingdom (see Belgium chronicle) and also in Luca Turilli's solo project (see Italian chronicle), and, since 2006, he is also the singer of Symphonity, a Symphonic Power Metal band from the Czech Republic. And these guys are very, very good!
Salamandra is a great band, playing old school Speed Power Metal. They brought back to me the feeling of listening to early Helloween.
Beltaine is a Pagan Folk Metal band. Really like their music, though the voice sometimes feels a bit awkward and not completely aligned with it. Too bad they have just released one full length in 2003.
How come there is a great Symphonic Metal band with two(!) violin players, and I didn't knew anything about it?!? The name is Interitus, and they have been around since 1993 and have four full lengths released.
