"We're not laughing with you, we're laughing at you"



Just dropping by to recommend Paradox, if you like your German thrash metal served with riffs, lots of riffs.

And their new stuff is not too shabby either.

Also can someone recommend me something in the veins of ayreon and star one\gamma ray's somewhere out in space? im jonesing for some metal space opera.

Also, there are not enough Manowar videos.

There will never be enough manowar videos.

Im wondering if there's a "6 steps of manowar" ranging from "Worship at the altar of Trve metal" through "man, i can believe i used to like this" to "Yeah, i cant take them seriously but when they try, its actually fun"

also, no power metal section can be complete without the most amazing power metal song of all time:

gently caress me, 1995-early 2000's Gamma Ray was so good, its ridiculous.

On the subject of manowar, behold the heir apparent to the throne:

Also, everyone should listen to more paradox

I had no idea beast in black was battle beasts 2.0.i've just listened to the whole album and its actually fun.theres some solid power metal songs in there,and the lead singer has some good pipes.the poppy bullshit is fun and catchy in a beer garden kind of way.3/5 would get drunk listening to this.

Nor has any genre been, at least since the mid-80s. Weird take.

Mastodon also haven't played anything resembling sludge in over a decade.

Dunno,black metal was everywhere in the 90's.and to a lesser degree power metal in the eu and south america.ymmv though.

I've never heard of Cain's Offering but apparently a bunch of Stratovarius/Sonata Arctica/Silent Voices guys got together to record some hot garbage a few years ago and it's exactly what you'd expect:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aixp4ENDtUc

Tbf only one of those bands was ever remotely good so.

Man ,back in my day cheesy power metal was bad but some of it was fun as gently caress,sure raphsody was an italian parody of manowar with added vivaldi wanckery but emerald sword was a really awesome song that instantly got stuck in your head and you would sing the chorus to it unprompted at really unoportune times,like a bussiness meating,or when taking a poo poo ,or having sex.nowadays kids and their watsnapachats and everyrhings gonne to the dogs and my toys actually had lead in them because i wanted it,lead is metal as gently caress.its a disgrace.

I feel like the line has moved over the last 30 years as metal became more extreme, and there is a lot of stuff we considered metal then that we wouldn't if it came out now.

I dunno man, is this metal?

Cause probably most people would say yes.also that video has 18 million views holy hell.

Edguy is a metal band but is this song metal?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYYw96MEn2c

Probably not?maybe?

Airbourne is definitely not metal but this song feels pretty metal.

Went to a electric callboy show, and besides being just a happy , fun time, they are pretty great live.was prety surprised at the number of young people there and it was electric.
600+ in unison doing the breakdown in tekno train, lots of people with fake (and real!) Mullets, 10/10 would choo choo choo again.
