No.2791
I grew up listening to Rhapsody of Fire, they are my favourite. Dawn of Victory occupies an especially sweet spot in my heart.
No.2793
>>2792I used to listen to their first four albums a lot, but then did not follow any of their new releases and last time I checked the Internet was convinced they were some Deus Vult retards because they made a song with it in the title, even though they are pretty clearly making fun of Christians in every other song?
No.2794
>>2791>I grew up listening to Rhapsody of FireWhen I first got into metal they were one of my 3 favorite PM bands, but without the of Fire. I like Dawn of Victory as well, probably my second favorite album after Legendary Tales. I swear I have never listened to any of the albums after the Emerald Sword Saga in full. Too busy right now listening to Blind Guardian's entire discography to give those a chance right now.
>>2792Yeah I already know that song, lmao
That one and some others I've listened to are pretty good, so I'm definitely going to give one of their albums a listen.
No.2795
>>2793Yeah your assertion is accurate, chincels get baited by their more LARPy songs when Powerwolf, despite having a Christian lead singer, still makes light of Christianity and uses sexualized pagan themes in their songs, like Venom of Venus to give a recent example.
No.2796
>>2794I did not really keep up with them either, I lost track around the time they split up. But just recently I listened to
Acending to Infinity by
Luca Turilli's Rhapsody and it is amazing. Turilli had some really good solo albums too, I especially like
Prophet of the Last Eclipse, it's also scifi themed which is not that common.
For Powerwolf my favourite is Lupus Dei, I recommend you give that a listen.
What was the other two bands?
No.2798
>>2796Ah yes, I also plan on giving Luca Turilli's solo projects a listen. I'm sure he has some great stuff.
>What was the other two bands?Blind Guardian and
SabatonBeen a while since I listened to the latter though, I'm more into Twilight Force, Dream Evil and Majestica these days as a possible third favorite
No.2827
I found out about Blind Guardian by playing a flash game about metal unicorns
No.2828
>>2827Was it a special version of Robot Unicorn Attack?
No.2843
>>2827>>2828Oh yeah, Battlefield from the album A Night at the Opera, which appeared in Robot Unicorn Attack: Heavy Metal.
For me, it was the other way around, I was already into BG when I found out about the flash game, but I hadn't listened to that song yet.
>>2826I tried giving Civil War a listen, didn't like it sadly.
Rikard Sundén turned out to be a pedo :(After Carolus Rex (which was the last album with the original lineup IIRC) Sabaton released Heroes. It's a solid album IMO, I bought it (as well as Carolus Rex). Night Witches might be one of my favorite songs by them.
No.3161
>>3128I like this better only because it actually has sound engineering
No.6574
Out of the four allowed lyrical themes in metal songs:
1. Satanism
2. Alcoholism
3. Metal is fucking awesome and so are people who listen to it
4. Lord of the Rings
Which one is your favourite?
No.6578
I love Helloween's The Tale of the Oath. Not their best album, but one I truly enjoy (alongside Walls of Jericho and KOTSK 2).
