I hate how no one has heard of them they're easily one of the best bands of all time but when I ask someone they're like "Whos that?". Idk why I posted this it just makes me mad that they dont get exposure they deserve they would fit perfectly in games like guitar hero......

Obviously they don't get enough publicity. How about introducing us to them instead of questioning why nobody knows about them?

I've heard of 'em and I've heard some of their songs. Not a huge fan, but they're good enough.

And don't worry about them exposure-wise. They're doing more than fine. Besides, you don't really want a bunch of teenyboppers going out to buy their next album, do you? I can remember when my cousin wholistened togarbage like Duran Duranasked to borrow my Black Album I almost burst into tears. I still like Metallica, but I can't ever feel like I used to about them.

I prefer my bands to be unknown to most people. It keeps them special, and when you meet another fan you feel connected by that fact alone.

Mago de Oz is 10x better and they're not well known. Dream Theater is quite famous actually. Did it ever occur to you your friends don't like the same music as you do?

I'm very disappointed to see that Dhyce hasn't posted in this thread as of yet! Generally even uttering the words "Dream Theatre" three times while staring in a mirror will cause her to appear which can lead to some pretty amusing moments let me tell you.

I like the mix of folk instruments along with modern instruments... that, the playing s*tyle and the vocals get me more pumped than Dragonforce.

it's just a nice change, and it's something differen't; they're even more different than most folk metal bands, because they use actual folk instruments (as opposed to using keyboards to imitate the instruments), and they're really catchy. HAPPY LITTLE BOOZER FTW!!! :D

They are music for those that are interested in music. They are not made for common publicity. Instead, they get the fans they deserve.

Dream Theater is very mainstream. Not that great though, and rather boring metal.

I heard about these guys about a week or two back, no lie. Swiss Folk metal with inspirations from MeloDeath/Death metal. It was on another forum. The person who posted that vid, is a relative of the bassist.

They've become fairly well known in the Metal world. They're Progressive Metal, so, pretty much every extreme Metal fan considers them completely boring. While the average listener wont understand most of their instrumental arrangements and ideas. So, they're a bit of an acquired taste. I like them a lot though, second only to the band Pain of Salvation, as Prog Metal goes. I think many people who dislike them may need to give them a better chance too, especially their older work like Awake and Metropolis 2. I certainly didn't like them at first. But they grew on me a whole lot. They also include, who is in my opinion, the greatest keyboard player pretty much ever, Jordan Rudess. He's become a huge inspiration for me.
