Pathfinder are about as goofy as it gets, they got the whole wizards and dragons angle covered.

For spaceships you might wanna try Iron Savior and Keldian. They're not massively epic sounding, but they're legit good.

Not quite "power metal" but just do it, it owns. Swords, wizards, weird poo poo, atlantis, etc etc. Fucktons of keyboards.

Bal-Sagoth is basically one of the best bands ever

They played here in Orlando a couple days ago. According to Yautja's bassist, it's the craziest show they've ever done.

I know but for some reason everyone thinks Atlantis Ascendant sucks, and I think it's their best album ever.


e: Also, completely unrelated to previous posts I discovered this about a year ago and never got around to telling people. Just came back up on my random list today and I realize people may want to hear it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CfG1OIE_eE Overmars!

If you're into stuff like Isis and Cult of Luna you'll probably like these guys a lot... even though they do tend to be quite derivative.

For goofy and fun, I'd go with Edguy. Dragonland has more of an epic feel if you're looking for more of that.

According to a band rep talking to Metalsucks, "Riot Fest is keeping GWAR’s spot warm for them and something will happen". God only knows what that means - a guest vocalist (or vocalists)?

Acid Bath was my first thought too, but there's no way on Earth we as a species are that lucky. The guitar tone isn't too Electric Wizard-y to me, though.

Probably should have put this in the stoner thread, thinking about it.

I feel the need to point out that this is from the bonus disc from their last album, where they did 4 original songs in the style of Motorhead, Priest, Sabbath and ACDC (have a wild guess which one that was). I really quite enjoy that one and Satan Rising to be honest, pretty catchy.

Call me "pixeltits"

Random customer at work* recommended I check out a band called Wolfhammer. So I look them up on Metal Archives and they're a French NSBM band (what) that released a seven-minute, four-track demo in 2001 and split up.

I think I may have the wrong band, because 1) who the gently caress recommends NSBM to a stranger and 2) I swear he was talking about American black metal when he mentioned the name Wolfhammer. Also you'd think that a band only having released literally seven minutes of music ever would be something you'd mention.

:wtc:

* We were talking about metal, he'd didn't just go "hey, dude, check out Wolfhammer" out of the loving blue. I gave no indication that I was interested in NSBM and he gave no indication that it was NSBM.

Seriously go see Anvil sometime if you can. It's a loving tragedy that these guys aren't playing for thousands of people every night considering their history. Robb Reiner is a madman, the best drummer I've seen aside from Gene Hoglan.

Anvil plays two days from now in my hometown, I'm pretty pissed I can't go. Seriously though, even if you're not a huge fan you should go see them, they make pretty good music and deserve a lot more than they get if not simply for their dedication and love of the music.

Then when I looked into their back catalogue turns out they have songs like "Call of the Aryan Spirit". Which is a shame because they have some cool musical ideas.

It's not really too surprising when you look at how their logo changed over the years.




And one of the albums (I think its the re-release of Goat Horns, but I can't remember) has a swastika made of AK-47s in the booklet.

Oh and also they're Ukrainian, which really should have tipped you off right away.
