My girl Amalie Bruun (Myrkur) gets a decent amount of hate from some folks for reasons that I don't understand, but I love her music. This album came out last year and was really good. I like putting it on in the morning on the way to work, to set a nice, gloomy mood for the day. LOL.

This particular song isn't very metal, but whatever. Ha ha.

@Mr. Gregory inspired me to dig out some Xandria.

An acquired taste, my friend. New to me. symphonic and gothic, yet black. make a thread.....intro me to them.

Like most other symphonic metal bands, they change vocalists like I change underwear, but I love them. Their album "Sacrificium" was a masterpiece IMO.

I was so disappointed when Manuela Kraller left, and now I'm even more upset that Dianne van Giersbergen is gone! WTF!?

Do you think they will hire Aeva? I haven't heard anything about a permanent vocalist.

I'm liking these guys, a German band playing what they call Pirate Folk Metal. Love the hurdy gurdy and the cello. I give you Storm Seeker.

It wouldn't surprise me. I haven't heard anything yet either, and it's been a little while since Dianne left.

I pulled this little gem out of the archive yesterday.

W.A.S.P. - Golgotha

WOW, I don't think I've listened to this song before (from the album of the same name that came out in 2015). VERY good, emotional song. Love everything about it. The lyrics, the emotion, the feeling of despair ... and that outro solo?! Wow! Not so much a technically amazing solo, but the feeling in that outro solo fits so well with the rest of the theme in this song.

I am DEFINITELY needing to go out and buy this album!

Currently listening to the latest JP album, Firepower

I know nothing of this band other than that they came across my desktop via just allowing youtube to go from one song to the next. I have no idea how I ended up here, but I'm not too disappointed.

Firewind - Ode to Leonidas

Not a bad song, especially for just hearing it for the first time. I will say though, the video is cheesy as fuk. It reminds me of a higher budget yet lame as hell hard rock vids that we saw in the 80's. So, I guess if I explore any more of their music, it will be in the background and not actually watching the vids.

Love them beards........

Love them beards........

lol.......yea. and they are jet black.

 

[Mr. Gregory]

Xandria hit their peak (so far) with Dianne IMO, but I forgot how good this album is.

 

[Mr. Gregory]

I was listening to Anathema's excellent album Weather Systems again at work today. I don't know if they still qualify as a metal band, but they started out as one, so...close enough!

Yo, somebody start a thread for these guys. I already have about eleventy bajillion threads I want to make. Ha ha.
