The genre pretty much lends itself to punch numbers so I’m not going to try to justify them. Each of these songs is big and strong, and is highly narrative.<\/p>\n Full Moon – Sonata Arctica<\/strong><\/p>\n Hearts on Fire – HammerFall<\/strong><\/p>\n Wish I Had an Angel – Nightwish<\/strong><\/p>\n Welcome Home – Coheed and Cambria<\/strong><\/p>\n This has been a pretty wide theme to play with.

\n<\/strong>Let’s open with one of the strongest voices ever to smash rock n’ roll. This 1993 release is full of crescendos, thematic shading and strong singing.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Following on with some good hard rocking. I love the guitar work, and that definitive declaration: Here I am! Rock you like a hurricane!<\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Still in the 80s, Europe tells the great story of a spaceship about to leave Earth<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The segue here is space travel. This cover of the Bob Dylan classic comes from the soundtrack to Battlestar Galactica<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0season 3. McReary did a great job in finding a completely new sound for this tune, and it’s big and bangy. I love it!<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>From one soundtrack to another. This was the theme song to the James Bond flick, Casino Royale<\/em>.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Slowing down, but still very dramatic, Chris Cornell continues on lead vocals.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Keeping with the blues feel. I think Adele’s got an amazing voice, and she deserves all the sales and accolades she’s currently enjoying.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>It’s not that much of a stretch from rhythm and blues to swung jazz is it? Some amazing horn work here.<\/p>\n
