The Head Bangers Thread

Recently stumbled upon this gem:

Dark Fortress - Eidolon

My favourite band:
The Vision Bleak - Witching Hour (full album)
"Horror Metal"

Eluveitie - Inis Mona
Eluveitie - Slanias Song
Celtic Folk Metal from Swizerland.

Finntroll - Solsagan
Troll Metal (Black + Humppa)

Fjörgyn - Ernte im Herbst
can't describe this one ...

Dekadent - Dissident Dream

Slayer be damned, nothing makes me want to go on a killing spree more than this song right here:

I heard this blaring at a store today. Practically ruined my day, not kidding at all. Instantly flung into a suicidal/homicidal rage!!!

morning music, Stoned Jesus - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iW1jxJ6ISks

and speaking of celtic themed bands, this is one of the best in my opinion, Waylander: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yM5BBHt_RJs

PS Gaulish, not Celtic. :)

Well, the Gauls were Celts.
And "Inis Mona" is the Isle of Anglesey, off the north west coast of Wales; the "Druid Island". Not exactly Gaulish but Celtic. ;)


Here's some more from Germany:
Eqilibrium - Blut im Auge
Knorkator - Wir werden (alle sterben)
J.B.O - Ein bisschen Frieden

After Evocation I and Everything remains dit not really catch my ears, I had not listened to Helvetios, yet.

Edit:
Rock Band Riddle 8/11 :D

I'm more of a Power Metal kind of guy.

Poetry for the Poisoned by Kamelot
Appreciate the fact that it has smooth transition between each part.

Twilight of the Thunder God by Sabaton
Yes, I know it's a cover but I prefer the "cleaner" vocals over Amon Amarth's growling.

And add to that the whole Carolus Rex album. Power Metal teaches history. In this case, the rise and fall of the Swedish Empire, from Gustavus Adolphus, the guy who invented Modern Warfare by introducing Combined Arms tactics to the death of Carolus Rex himself.

And this last one that could easily pass of as Battle Music for any turn-based RPG in the vein of Final Fantasy.

High Road - Mastodon
Crack the Skye - Mastodon

Have that beer delivered to my house in the Philippines, oh Great Ruler of Wraeclast.

It sucks that they haven't gone here, which means I haven't seen Kamelot live before Roy Khan left. But then again, you can hear how his vocal range gets lower and lower the more the band went on. Compare "Nights of Arabia" from The Fourth Legacy to any of the recent releases where he still fronted. He just can't do that very high pitch anymore (particularly in the "Queen has lost her right to LIIIIIIIIIFE!!!" portion of Nights of Arabia).

As for Dragonforce, I still go to them if I want something cheesy. They actually performed live here, but with the new vocalist. I think it's just too damn coincidental that they actually performed Through the Fire and Flames live better when they threw away ZP Theart. Still, if I want to be mushy and listen to something with a hopeful message, Dawn Over a New World is still my go-to song.

And out of all the songs you could use to court your girl, you had to use The Haunting? Luckily she isn't aware of the subject matter there and just pays attention to the chorus. Cuz you know, yearning for your first love, who committed suicide because you left her is waaaay too out there to be used as a love song (Recall the whole thing from "Lost and Damned" until this song across two albums).

Finally, an oldie but goodie:
Canon Rock by Jerry C. Since then, I've always been on the lookout for Classical Music given the Metal treatment. Dark Moor seems a consistent contributor to this.

I feel like if I post any of the music I listen to here I'll get thrown to the lions
