co199 posted:Fun thing about Stormwarrior is that Kai Hansen either performed or produced on their first two albums, so it's no surprise they sound like Helloween. The German power-metallers stick together, eh? I thought their second one was a decent listen too. It's no masterpiece sure but makes fun highway music. This latest one is boring though.

co199 posted:I'm going to get crucified for this, but my top metal album of 2011 was Arch Enemy's, namely because I've got really bad taste. It's the album I've listened to the most, though. The solo on Under Black Flags We March is great. Nordick posted:Well I'll join ya on the cross then, because I loving love Arch Enemy to bits. Although, the new album didn't quite grip me despite being certainly good. Rise of the Tyrant is loving kickass though. I want to like this album. Under Black Flags especially is catchy, but the lyrics (yeah, yeah who listens to metal for the words) are really annoying. the yeti fucked around with this message at 15:32 on Dec 22, 2011 |

Nordick posted:
This is exactly why I still listen to them now and then. I get a little tired of the OMGFASTER guitar solos but onstage they're (or were, at least) energetic and amusing and clearly having a fun time. I could be mistaken but I think the time I caught them the keyboardist was having issues so we got an interlude of Herman and Sam loving around with the audience while Vadim noodled furiously on the keyboards till he was satisfied it was fixed.

Yeah, I may have been the oldest person at that show who hadn't brought a kid. Y'all laugh if you want but windows down on the highway and blasting Primal Fear is the best. Edit: let's add Heathen to that statement too just because. the yeti fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Apr 6, 2012 |

Kjorteo posted:The thing about Blind Guardian live is that they can make you believe that they care about their fans, even when they really don't have to. Yeah, they played to a house that was only about 2/3 full, believe it was during the week during the school term, that didn't help attendence, but Hansi was still really into it and really gracious  Nordick posted:So I was just introduced to Falls of Rauros and holy poo poo this stuff is immense and beautiful. Just check it out, especially if you like Agalloch and other such atmospheric black metal stuff. To my amusement black metal somehow manages to out-elf all other subgenres when it comes to cribbing names from Tolkien. the yeti fucked around with this message at 02:05 on Jul 22, 2012 |

It looks like something a 9th grader would scribble in his notebook at school as a logo for his "band" that consists of him and his friend that just got a drumset for his birthday. There were a couple on those posters several pages back that looked like they'd been scanned right off notebook paper

Trollfest are beautiful human beings and Alestorm are an instant cure for depression. Highlights were the Britney Spears cover and the weird dog song from Trollfest and Alestorm's Rugrats theme song cover. I saw that group in Ohio, really really loved Trollfest.
