My favorite track ever, for various reasons, is Metallica's Orion. Is there any band with tracks of the same kind but that don't fall in the (for me) boring Symphonic/Progressive Metal? I'm not a huge fan of Dream Theater for instance.

Are they making this argument from the position of enjoying power metal, or hating it? I'm genuinely curious.

He hasn't really hinted one way or another, and I can't think of his taste offhand. He's just insistent that they have power metal composition and that you know nothing of you think otherwise. The closest thing to proof he's provided is that they don't sound like Arghoslent.

Well, he's not wrong there :v: But they don't sound like Iced Earth or Manowar either so yeah.

I kind of want to run different bands through this guy's filter and see where he places things. Like I want to see the gears turn as they explain how Ufommamut is actually _____.

It's only one track but Black Breath has an instrumental on their newest album which reminds me a lot of Orion.

Oozing machismo
I know I've posted this in a previous thread, but its still such a great Bolt Thrower story.

Karl Willets posted:

Here's my account of the NJ Riot... It is a memorable point in the history of Bolt Thrower...

We were told before to expect some poo poo at this venue, we were greeted by a somewhat jumpy female promoter. Nazi skinheads had recently been walking into gigs and trashing the place and causing brawls, rumour had it tonight was to be no different.
We met with the guys from Immolation, top blokes... off their tits on PCP, the load in was amusing... I'd had a bit of crystal meth that night which may have added to the overall weirdness of the night.

Robert Muller our German friend from Century Media Records was also there, he kindly gave us the loan of his pet slugger (baseball bat), which we removed from the trunk (boot) of his car and surreptitiously hid behind the stage.

I remember throughout the support bands these nazi pricks had started to do that stupid arm stretching routine a lot... I got on stage and told them to stop... No surprise they didn't... but they'd had a warning... When we went on stage I was furious, I remember some small black dude, well into the band and metal, who was petrified by these animals, I think I warned them a couple of times... but the only thing these idiots would react to was direct confrontation.

I launched myself off the stage aiming myself at this one gangly twat, who had annoyed me particularly, and between me and the sound engineer from the venue we had them cornered. I looked out the corner of my eye to see this huge Neanderthal coming right at me, with Adolf Hitler tattooed on his chest- at this point our Tour Manager intervened with the German slugger!
I saw the nazi monster collapse to the floor with blood pissing out of his head, the backswing to the bat almost killed one of the skinhead kids whom must have been about 12.

The place descended into chaos, the security guards were related to the skinheads, it could have got bad... We loaded our gear out superquick thanks to a more together Immolation and high-tailed it out of there. As we left, Baz remembered we left the baseball bat in the venue, he went back in to retrieve it just as the skinheads returned to the venue for vengeance... I have never seen a man move so quick through a melee of flailing limbs!

We drove off and we then thought that we were being followed by carloads of nazis after our blood, so we pulled over to confront them, yelling as we approached the stopped vehicles, until we realised it was some fans just making sure we got away ok...

A great yarn, to tell the grandchildren..(!?!)

Karl Willets rules. The best part is that he posted it in the comment section of some random site with a guy talking about that gig.

I didn't think either the song nor the video were too bad. There could be some improvements on both fronts, yes, but it's not the worst music video nor the worst Anthrax song I've ever witnessed.
