I was talking to a friend of mine and the subject of music came up.  We agreed that there seems to be a dearth of new music that would qualify as decent.  I’ve noticed this for awhile, and how the entire music industry seems to have changed.

My tastes are very divergent.  I do prefer heavy metal, but I listen to a wide range of material (to qualify this, heavy metal is very different than grunge metal or thrash metal.  I like to be able to hear the singers voice).  To that end, I have found some bands across the pond that I enjoy a lot.  To name a few, Hammerfall, EdGuy, and Helloween.  In my search, I came across a little known German band called LaFee.

Their lead singer, Christina Klein, is stunning.  They only have a couple of albums out so far, and both are in German.  I do not understand this language.  It is said that music can transcend any language barrier and I have found this to be true.  The band is somewhat of a pop band, yet throughout most of their songs a heavy guitar rift is present.

I have listened to their third album, Jetzt Erst Recht, a couple of times now.  It has gone gold in Austria and Germany, and I know why.  It is progressive rock, much like Dream Theater with a female vocalist.  I think this band has an excellent future ahead of them.
