lol guys I was looking up amon amarth covers the other day while hyping before going to see thor3 and I stumbled on this absolute masterpiece

free cookie for whoever can spin it for more than 3 consecutive seconds after the vocals kick in

I'll have my cookie with chocolate chips, thanks. I listened to the whole thing without any difficulty.

I mean, the opening roar made me go kinda like "Aww, well she's trying at least" but her actual singing wasn't that bad. She's not exactly a female Johan Hegg, but perfectly passable imo. Bonus points for good enunciation.

And as far as Amon Amarth covers go, no one's beaten Slaughter of the Bluegrass yet

Their first two albums are fantastic. The new one is a slight step down, but I’m probably gonna go see them next week anyway. I think their bassist was a big part of the songwriting and he got himself kicked out for being a piece of poo poo.

I am stupidly hyped for the next couple months, Exhumed/Arkaik and Ne O/Allegaeon/Pathogenic in the next few weeks, Enslaved/WotTR in February.

I'm totally gonna put together the full-on black metal outfit for the Enslaved show.

And then I guess my next thing is just waiting to see what they announce for New England Metal & Hardcore Fest 2018 and if it's worth going. 2014 had an amazing lineup.

The ex-frontman from Battle Beast has a new band, Beast in Black, and they just released their debut album which is pretty great

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdlAZj5iDc8

That said, check the three first Battle Beast albums too. Their latest one that they made after kicking the guy out is boring because he was the one with any songwriting chops, but the older material is solid cheesy fun.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ8m8_vtL-A

Hopefully you don't mind hefty doses of 80s synth pop in your metal, though.

Couple other album picks from recent-ish years:

Merging Flare - Reverence
Top grade euro power from the "no frills" end of the spectrum; Guitar driven and no gigantic choirs and poo poo. Kai Hansen does a guest appearance which is fitting since the stuff is pretty Gamma Ray-esque.

Cain's Offering - Stormcrow
Cain's Offering was founded by ex Sonata Arctica members and has Timo Kotipelto from Stratovarius on vocals and that probably tells you everything you need about their sound. Way better than either SA or Strato have been in ages, though.

Also heartily seconding the recs for Unleash the Archers and Wuthering Heights from preceding posts.

Kamelot isn't new by any means but check out the Black Halo if you haven't. Also, someone mentioned Sabaton already, which I would strongly second.
