I sent all required info for the band as well as both of their albums to M@X via email, as well as a sample MP3 (that's proggy as hell, as their entire discography is), as outlined in the guide, over a month ago...  

 * Artist/band biography
It all goes back in 1997 when 14year old Alex Katsiyannis decided to
form a hard rock band
along with some school-mates. The name of the band was Distant
Dreamland. The songs were more in the vein of Deep Purple and Uriah
Heep. After a year of rehearsals and stuff the band changed their
music style. Distant Dreamland played a mix of European and american
power metal. People left the band and others joined. The band was
renamed into Dead Man's Tale.

        Dead Man's Tale released the self-titled demo cd receiving
really good reviews. At that time Alex wrote the lyrics along with the
music and played the guitar and Domenik (Dark Vision, Lost Souls)
performed the vocals. The frendship between Alex and Domenik kept them
together even after the end of Dead Man's Tale.

        On March of 2003 WASTEFALL were born by Alex and Domenik.
Later on George
Kanavaris and Ilias Kalivas joined the band. In only three months
Wastefall signed with Sleaszy Rider and released their debut album
"Fallen Stars and Rising Scars". Wastefall received very good
feedback: (Greek Metal Hammer 8,5/10, Rock-on 7/10, Pathfinder 9/10).
And the story goes on...

True. I can vouch for this man, Wastefall is an excellent band. They're basically a heavier Pain of Salvation, also sound a bit like Threshold at times. It's real good stuff.

Sounded like a less inspired Pain of Salvation to me, although I'd still put them on the site. Maybe it's because I don't like Threshold

Oh!! I am impressed! How do you people know about them? They are FANTASTIC! I have seen them 2 times live and were awsome! (one of the times they were the support band to Pain of Salvation). I thought that a few people in Greece knew them! How did you find out about them?

I've been a fan for a couple months now...  one of my friends suggested I listen to Empty Haven, and I fell in love.

I dont think you will find a way to order their albums... Not even in Greece you can find easily their records. You can only find soulrain 21,

Soulrain 21 is a concept album based on an accident happened in 2003 in Greece. There was a bus with 30 or 40 students and the bus fall in a river and 21 students were killed... it was a very sad day for all greeks...

Dude, who the hell IS as inspired as Pain Of Salvation?  I can count them on one hand who are...

If I tried to start a list it'd end up too long to even try . I'm not knocking PoS but there's at least 50,100 bands I love as much.

It's all taste.  

I mean really, it's not like my opinion's unbiased.  I'm currently sporting a Daniel Gildenlow avatar for heaven's sake!
