Freddie Mercury lives on!....



Excellent, big ass production and great guitar(s) aswell. Not a copycat of Queen, but the person behind it (Valensia) does unfortunately follow Queen abit too closely most the time. But sometimes he can genuinely pull off a great song without the "this sounds too much like Queen/Freddie" tag.

You should check the album metal Majesty "this is not a drill"



Pretty much all done by Valensia (drums by his brother). He seems to of completely stopped making music now, which is a shame, but his later albums (under Valensia) were very poor and too Queen like.

Still, his first 3 albums and metal majesty are great though.



He only sang on "Gaia" LOL (and wrote it of course). He deserved one hit wonder status if anything. He does a great Alanis Morrisette pastiche aswell on his 3rd album (which stupidly has the longest album title ever?).

Heres his cover of Duran's "A view to a kill". Still prefer the original, but its a nice enough cover and not bad for a mere EP track:-
