Rammstein

A man after my own heart. I've got pic related hanged on my wall. I also hope that while Rammstein are the last on your list, they are not the least. Theirs was the best concert I have ever been to. Felt the heat of the flamethrowers halfway through the front stage crowd.

Yep, saw them in 2008 I think, Newcastle Arena, nearly died it was awesome.

Visigoth. They even put out s single called The Dungeon Master.

Fukkin' love Avantasia. Unchain the Light and Let the Storm Descend Upon You are amazing.

I really do wonder if /mu/ realizes how autistic some of the stuff it says sounds
>drone shitcore stoner jazz/shoegaze post-punk fusion

...

Genres are for the listener to help them find the sound they want. It's kinda like alignment, if you're arguing about it you should just ignore it.

FOR THE KING
FOR THE LAND
FOR THE MOUNTAINS

>oh shit gotta give this a whirl
>mfw

Christpher Lee was able to say that, but you can get fucked by every Judas Priest cover art... and Rob Halford.

Blind Guardian always had a D&D vibe to a lot of their music.

How rude of me to leave out my own recommendations.

>Chastain
>Warlord
>Cauldron Born
>Cirith Ungol
>Lamp of Thoth
>Crescent Shield
>Manilla Road
>White Skull
>Falconer

y e s

van canto is super fucking cheesy but "If I Die In Battle" is just...purifying.

You have good taste but I feel obligated to call you a faggot for liking Gwar since Lordi is better

Why is it in a music thead that we have the smartest thing said about alignment in the last two decades?

Adding Pentagram to the thread

Viper the rapper

Summoning

The Sword has put out a bunch of awesome Veeky Forums related music. Their most recent album was kinda meh, even if I commend their trying to do something different.

Blind Guardian is pretty godlike

As is Ayreon
youtube.com/watch?v=pDZYQUay-6w

Then why Lordi get killed by GWAR?

Totally canon btw

Can I now?

youtube.com/watch?v=fnaFxpKtj58

But that's not the objectively best blind guardian track

youtube.com/watch?v=_VfXoQCCizA

The Lord Weird Lough Feg did a while album based off of "Traveller"

It's pretty boss

Freedom Call

youtube.com/watch?v=xzir1B43I3E

That's one of my favorites but most of their shit is good, if repetitive.

They're a little corny. Not as corny as Rhapsody of Fire, mind.

That aside, Freedom Call is *the* Paladin band. Hands down.

Forgot my pic, love their cover art too.

Oh they're corny as shit, no doubt. Still, I love their sound, and their music is so upbeat I always listen to it when I'm in a good mood, so I associate it with a lot of good memories.

You are mah nigga, son.

I kind of see them as the LG to Bal Sagoth's NE, if you dig me.

"WE ARE WARRIORS, BORN OF THE LIGHT
AN ARMY FOR FREEDOM, DEFENDERS OF LIFE"

Paladin all the way.

That's not And Then There Was Silence, or Wheel of Time, or Sacred Worlds, or Time Stands Still at the Iron Hill, or Lionheart or Mirror Mirror...shit man, that's not even in the top ten.

They were my introduction to power metal so they hold a special place in my heart. Bought all the albums back in 2012, literally just now found out they came out with a new one in 2014, going to have to buy that one too. Here's an appropriate song from it

youtube.com/watch?v=AOwfrniZYyE

Mine were "Hammerfall".

Ah, but we Freedome Call now

It's so corny that I feel like with a little tweaking it could be a musical theater song.

And then there was silence and Mirror Mirror are 10/10 but those others are over rated. Especially fucking Iron Hill I really don't like that chorus.

Into the Storm is also really good

Love Hammerfall too.

Just checked, it was 2010 when I got those albums, but I still keep dat Freedom Callin'

youtube.com/watch?v=DMtwUNfnGHU

Metal?

Oh, Iron Warriors!

STORM OF IRON

youtube.com/watch?v=eOaU_H8V8GQ

youtube.com/watch?v=41C26nE_wX8

A song for druid-kings everywhere

I'll give you Into the Storm. A Voice in the Dark though just doesn't rank for me. It's just alright.

And for the legions of the Eye!

Goblins you say?

YES

If I ever play in an Al-Qadim game, I'm playing these guys the whole campaign

Does this count?

Mah niggest of niggers.

Personal fan of their Dawn of the Brave album. At least for the first two songs. Youtube doesn't do it justice since I can't find a fucking video of the whole album at once, but I love that the first song leads directly in to the second song.

youtu.be/sz1tv5nCxeo?list=PLcNzV6AssTKZWiITaUYMmfI6Mw4UosG0p

I was about to complain about Veeky Forums and still no mention of The Lord Weird Slough Feg when they have an album about Traveller, until I saw and saw a spelling mistake that kept it from my Slough search.

They also do a lot of song about Slaine of course so also Celt myths by proxy.

>Christopher Lee
I heard he killed some SAXON MEN!

>Dragonforce
Ugh, synths+powermetal? Are you guys playing some kind of 80's AD&D here? :( I'll be forced to agree with .

Shit like Wardruna at least pulls of the appropriate fantasy vibe...

Skuggsja might work...
youtube.com/watch?v=XSDXcNv4TV4
There's a bunch of metal with folksy ambience, not to upbeat though but I can't imagine why one would wish it to be?

Is there a word for people obsessed with viking culture? Vikingboo? I feel like that should be a thing.

>There's a bunch of metal with folksy ambience, not to upbeat though but I can't imagine why one would wish it to be?
Because it's awesome. See

Is butt rock supposed to be just bad rock?

You are a scholar of bardic knowledge, brother.

This sounds more like something for a kegger than a RPG session?
If it works for you, I guess...

I'll be using any one of the WoW soundtracks in tonight's 5e session though.

euro power metal is faggot shit
some, like rhapsody, are at least funny enough to listen to ironically but shit like sabaton, dragonforce or hammerfall is just way too lame and cringy even for that

as for epic Veeky Forums-related metal/rock that actually doesn't suck cocks:

BATHORY (srsly ctrl f bathory after 70 posts and 0 hits, what's even wrong with you guys)

Nearly all metal is terrible to play during a session, but that doesn't seem to be the topic of discussion. The OP asked for our favorite bands.

I'm on the cover of a Hammerfall album, and was in one of their videos. Being an extra was cool.

Slough Feg in general are fantastic.

That's what is for.
