Demilich is one of my favourite straight up death metal bands

If you go to Revocation's Spotify page, they have made a playlist to listen to whilst they're touring. Demilich has three spots on that playlist... alongside Crocodile Rock, Blut Aus Nord, and an entire Juicy J mixtape. Based.

Gloryhammer aside it has been an absolutely killer 6 months for power metal. Better than all of 2018 and probably 2017 I'd say

Yes.
The Paladin album was actually kinda disappointing for me. I still really like the two songs they released as singles, but the album as a whole is kinda just this amorphous mess. I listened to it a few times and very few things really stuck out to me.

Otherwise though, yeah thus far it's been a great year for power metal or the more melodic side of metal in general.

New Astral Doors is a lot better than their previous couple outings, for one

You and whose knees?

Are there any notable power metal bands where the vocalist is really really good at vibrato, or at least doesn't lean on it for every single sustained note? So much power metal is ruined for me because thee triumphant epic vocals end up reminding me of a deflating balloon.

Did Razorfist get hit yet?

I stumbled upon his reviews of artists discographies which were really drat good but he’d sometimes go off on tangents and then I found his other videos were all gamergate and right wing Trump bullshit.

Totally. The new Rhapsody of Fire being actually really good made my last couple of months, now Gloryhammer is probably gonna last me a while until the new Sabaton, which I'm a bit weary of but cautiously optimistic about.

Twilight Force comes to mind, especially their debut. I can think of plenty of sustained notes with and without vibrato

A quick look at his twitter leans me towards no. I feel like he'd throw up a huge stink if he were demonitized. Also because this thread loves it when this topic comes up, Razorfist used to be in 2 NSBM bands!

Edit: Forgot edit is a thing. Here's some content as an apology

We got Fulci worship, and now Argento. I wholeheartedly approve of metal's fascination with Italian horror cinema.

At first read that and missed the "non"s and was like "What? that single blew donkey-balls" but now I noticed the "non" and I'm like "Heeere comes the waaater - the magic from the skyyyyyy"!

Album started popping up on torrent sites(i suddenly got 4000 links to our bandcamp from a metal torrent tracker today) so we said gently caress it and released it early, so if anyone wanted to hear it in full its streamable on bandcamp now.

I've been jamming it ever since we got the promo back in April, and now my friends can finally listen to it as well :)

drat good stuff, sir. Definitely made it to my shortlist of albums I have to buy ASAP on release.

It should be noted that the album can't really be summarised by one song, the other single for instance is really quite different

Light release day from what I can tell

Upon a Burning Body is up on Spotify, their bandcamp hasn't updated with all the tracks yet. Decent Texas deathcore
All Hell, punky blacky gothy metal
Vulture's new album is up on non-BC, speedy thrash
A new Power From Hell album is supposed to be out but it might have been delayed until next Friday according to the release date on one site.

Back on kinda sorta power metal talk, turns out there's a new Ancient Empire album on the radar already.

Not the best song of theirs I've heard, but still really solid mid-tempo trad/ USPM.

New Twilight Force single, I'll jam it after I finish my second listen of Gloryhammer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mG5DyUj0pfU

Edit: It appears to be bad, and the keyboard player created a Reddit alt to say the mixing actually rules and the vocals are way better than Christian's (vocalist they fired in one of the worst ways I've ever seen) and Christian directly called him out
