Sacred Oath
US-style power metal with great vocals, musicianship AND songwriting. Something too many bands lack nowadays. Just a shame that the bands that suck are the ones to become famous while others releasing real gems remain unheard of.
You can stream the entire Darkness Visible album on last.fm, which is what you should do now actually.
My favourite tracks off of it are:
Words Upon The Stone
Battle Cry
Queen Of The Night
Prophecy
The Golden Dawn
