Sunday at 7:15pm. Right before Mumford and Sons. Wikipedia says:
Labyrinth is an Italian power metal band formed in 1994 in Massa, Italy. The band underwent a change in style and themes after the departure of Olaf Thorsen in 2002.
An interview with the lead singer online starts with this:
A band that seriously need no introduction, Italian dragonslayers Labyrinth practically invented the style of music derived from there home land, and whilst releasing such monumental milestones of greatness as "Sons of Thunder" and "Return to Heaven Denied", Labyrinth should be considered amongst the greatest living performers of the style, along with bands like Helloween and Stratovarius, whose supreme influence in this genre was paramount.
Obviously they need no introduction. I'm not sure I agree that they invented a style of music. The songs I heard remind me of a mix between Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. In the interview it is claimed their new stuff is slowed down and fans want a return to the sound of "Return to Heaven Denied". Here are two songs from that album: "Moonlight" and "Thunder" (best I heard).
I'd watch some of this. Not sure you'll enjoy it. Here they are live in 2002. Make sure you watch until 1:10 when the guitar (and hair flinging) kicks in. Classic.
