That art is definitely sweet, and the Die Hard version is less than 20 bucks. Got it on order

I could use some good recent power metal. RYM is showing only about 100 released in 2018, Rocka Rollas seems interesting. Powerwolf apparently has the highest rated/most rated PM album this year?

Ironflame, a side project of Nechochwen and Obsequiae's drummer, had a great album last year and another great one this year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSB3e64sUsk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pS4wkkjfAPc I liked Manticora's new album even if it gets really modern-chug. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhqZtxtqAoQ

Powerwolf apparently has the highest rated/most rated PM album this year? Rocka Rollas is good poo poo if you're into speed metal (who isn't?) and the guy behind it is an absolute loving madman when it comes to productivity. Powerwolf I'm not a big fan of, though their older material has its moments (Werewolves of Armenia). They're basically Sabaton bitten by a radioactive Ghost. Looking at the first page of that Rateyourmusic list, a few other choice picks from there: Riot V - Armor of Light. There has to be something special about a metal band that's had a baby seal as their mascot since the 70s. Great USPM. Monument - Hellhound They're more traditional heavy metal than power but worth checking out, even if this newest album wasn't quite up to par with their previous stuff. Thaurorod - Coast of Gold Not much to say about this, other than it's solid, energetic euro power. Not too much keyboard cheese, no orchestral bloat. Leaving the best for last, I'll have to plug Psychework - Karelian Hills. It's apparently a concept album about WW2 from the Soviet point of view. It is really loving melodramatic and emotional and larger-than-life. And also very, very good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_sAecPORdQ

Sweet, I will have a very power filled evening tonight. I finished Rocka Rolla's latest release and it was great, ended up 4'ing it. Scrolling through page 1 I also see Hibria has a new album out, I had no idea.

Basically they ditched that fantastic oldschool sound of theirs with a much more modern one, complete with downtuned chugging guitars and all. Then they started doing prog or someshit. Listen to Ancient Empire instead, they remind me of kinda like, a cross between old Hibria and Iron Savior. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T4bGVPgOCY Featuring the rare and elusive beast, Actually Audible Bass Guitar Nordick fucked around with this message at 00:25 on Oct 18, 2018 |

I want folk metal to be played entirely on traditional acoustic instruments, not just normal-rear end metal with a fiddle or tin horn or some poo poo.

I still maintain that a folk metal show I went to a few years ago was the worst smelling venue I'd ever set foot in. So many white people with dreadlocks who took their shirts off. Ugh.

If we re gonna call a music stupid, it's got to be metal I mean, of all the stupid musics out there that take 0 skill to play and 0 skill to make, I bet metal is the most prominent one in terms of stupidity right? ha-ha but joking aside, folk metal is p. uncool imo. Folk music (the real thing) is good sometimes.

All music is dumb; it's just wiggly air. On power metal, I've tried to get into it a few times now but it never sticks. At best I'll find a song or two that stick out to me, such as Metal Church's Metal Church from the album Metal Church.

I'd put Skyclad (at least the first couple albums) more in the thrash/speed corner than NWOBHM, but that's just me. Other worthwhile folk metal might include stuff like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G25ZWp7C7yA Or this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klMZcowalPI Or why the hell not this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzkCGfy9QtI
