@fredriley what about United States Of Eurasia?   and thank you for your post
 

If you like music that relates back to Orwell's 1984, check out the EBM band VNV Nation. Specifically the album Futureperfect (although pretty much all of their songs/lyrics touch on the theme). They even use samples from the film 1984.

I got this CD last weekend and it really is very good indeed, for all the bombast. What I'd not realised until looking at the lyrics is that much of it is based on Orwell's 1984, hence the songs about resistance and uprising. A really big sound. Award-winning album cover too, I read. 9 from the Nottingham jury.

I was just gonna say "bombastic" too—-like Queen. Could be a good thing, sometimes, but didn't hit me right this time. I wouldn't mind hearing them a little less.

Good insight but without it the song comes off sounding pretentious and contrived.
Have to admit that the musicianship and studio work is quite good.

Agree on the "I could be wrong..." repetition.  I like this song less and less the more I hear it.

I've always thought Muse was the lovechild of Radio Head and Queen :D  This song just confirms the idea.  I enjoy it!

LOL! It is a pretty big sound, right enough, with distinct echoes of Queen, and quite anthemic. Nice, though, and maybe it's time for rock opera to come back (every other musical form seems to have re-had its day of late). 7 from the Nottingham jury.

This is the first time I'm hearing this, and before reading previously posted comments, I definitely heard Queen in there, big time.  Nobody can duplicate Queen, but this sounds pretty good.

Whoa — spot on. I'm sitting next to my wife who is a HUGE Rundgren fan. I read this to her just before the first chorus came in. "Oh my, does it EVER! I have chills!" was her response.

These guys somewhat rock - compared to the 80s/90s mush that seems to be the RP norm of late they really stand out.  Must be that Brian May influence. {#Bananajam}

New-wave tried to destroy the metal, but the metal had its way.
Grunge then tried to dethrone the metal, but metal was in the way.
Punk-rock tried to destroy the metal, but metal was much too strong.
Techno tried to defile the metal, but techno was proven wrong.

No one can destroy the metal.
The metal will strike you down with a viscious blow.

I hear the Queen. Sounds like they're really trying. I don't know what Dio sounds like, but I've seen the t-shirts and that's enough for me. Though maybe I shouldn't judge a band by their t-shirt.
 

Ditto on the Queen - reminds me of the Flash Gordon soundtrack.
Flash! Aa-ah!

I've quickly grown tired of these guys.
No doubt they have some musical talent.
But I find there ideas just sound too borrowed from better artists.
And there lyrics are ridiculous!
How many songs must they have that talk about "fighting the man", "resisting oppression" or some sort of intergalactic struggle?

Cheese!
