The new Ghost album is very fun and brings back the rock sax, so it's good, to me.

Speaking of that, can anyone at all help my friend and I figure out why the gently caress the piano riff in Pro Memoria that shows up around 1:08 sounds so loving familiar? It's driving us crazy.

This thread can be good times though, it’s just difficult to tune out the dumb gatekeeping elitism. It’s unfortunately pretty universal in metal.

Metal is the dumbest genre* for this and other reasons, but i still like it



*except maybe anything blueslaywers like

Also I firmly believe that everyone should just listen to whatever the gently caress they want. I like poppy riffs, goofy lyrics about satan, and am an absolute sucker for keyboards so I like Ghost, but other people dislike a linear combination of those things so they don't.

I vaguely worry that the weird PURITY thing about metal is what attracted nazis to it but :thunk:

Of all the embarrassing bands I like Ghost is actually one of the better ones :shobon:

I actually listened to/own Christopher Lee's extremely terrible album about Charlemagne, for one thing

It's real loving bad you guys but I like listening to the late Christopher Lee say/sing things

That instrumental with the Swedish name is about Hell's Window, I think that's the translation, which are the dresses that women started to wear in medieval times that were open on the sides. Basically it's about side boob

have people not moved on to metalzonecore by now?

That won't ever really happen, it's the same thing that makes wealthy law partners blow 20k on custom gibsons and Marshall replicas with period correct tolex, just a couple decades off

GLORY.
HAMMER.

I really really want to hate this because it's so stupid and cheesy and ridiculous, but goddamnit it's so fun and stupid and cheesy and ridiculous that it's impossible to hate this.

My current hobby is watching people who don't know what they're getting into react to gloryhammer videos

Also I think it was kilometers Davis who said that the great thing about power metal is that it's the exact opposite of whiney and it's true

Amazing how many songs even on SA's first album are about being broken up with. Tony's been about whining in PM since the very beginning.

Like their most standard power metal song is probably like wolf and raven and he loving hates that song. Sometimes I don't think he actually likes the entire genre group he plays in that much.

I started with thrash and then some power metal and like melodic black metal or w/e you'd call Insomnium

I still really like power metal because it's so dumb that it always puts a smile on my face

This was the first power metal song I ever heard and it made me absolutely lose my loving poo poo blaring out of a lovely boom box off an old worn out c-tape

like I'd heard some Megadeth and stuff through my friend before that, but nothing had really clicked. When this came on it was like flipping a goddamn switch. "Metalhead mode: OFF -> ON"

Speaking of Helloween, here's a song that I didn't like for a long time until one day I suddenly loved it

Nanowar is apparently switching from being a cheesy power metal parody band to being a cheesy pop band? I'm not sure; this could legitimately be a bit I don't understand.

I want to say it's a bit but that doesn't mean it won't result in at least one actual song

Yeah it's basically "i wanted to hear him sing goofy lyrics" and he's a fun studio vocalist for sure.

He seemed okay on the couple videos of the same performance of master of the universe that i saw on youtube but standard show to show variance and it's harder to tell on a phone video caveats apply on that

New Gloryhammer is extremely cringe to me. Especially knowing that the band is full of racist misogynists. I simply cannot give them another chance.

yeah I felt bad knowing about it when clicking but wow his voice is just wrong for it.

also lol the way i originally learned about everything was when their very first song with him dropped and i listened to it and was like what the gently caress is with tom's voice and went down the rabbit hole

If I were to say best overall, I'm a shameless Powerwolf stan do I'd go with Atilla/Karsten but Tom is really good.

I just think the guy they picked to replace Tom belongs in more of a Kamelot type band where they do things slower sometimes and generally more seriously than a fast and funny band.
