Can't miss out on Rhapsody's official video too. (Might be NSFW as the version I have on DVD has boobs, but this might be a censored version for YouTube) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BhMD4xLSBA This came out in a post-LOTR world.

Rhapsody is the loving worst. I can't even really explain what it is about them that makes me detest them so much, eventhough I might otherwise enjoy some cheesy fantasy nonsense. Fabio Lione ticks me the gently caress off, but he's not the whole reason. IDK, they're just a bunch of poncy fucks who don't have a loving clue. gently caress Rhapsody and all its permutations.

There's a fine line between "self aware" and "to committed to the bit" and I feel like a lot of power metal acts are WAYYYY too committed to the bit.

It's so funny that when Lost Horizon came out with A Flame to the Ground Beneath, music journos described them as Europower without the cheese. They are easily one of the cheesiest bands ever. Cheasily.

I was now just reminded of how horrible Alestorm are. I can't understand how they got so popular. Rhapsody are super cheesy but at least they're charming in a certain way. Alestorm is just absolute trash.

As much as I loved the latest Avantasia album, if Tobi were to announce he's gonna focus full-time on Edguy again I would cry out my delight from the rooftops. Unrelated, may I interest any of you with this fine europower track about butt sex https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptH-xKNuhKw

some power metal is cool but the vocals are hideously bad and corny. any power metal (or adjacent) with cool and good guttural vox? ninja edit: death growls are also "corny" bc they're silly and dumb but it's my flavor of metal roleplay (title checks out)

This song is both cheesy and has lyrics which are too obviously goofy. (A lot of metal has goofy lyrics but is able to hide them a bit.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpvLMyC4a8o

Ensiferum and Wintersun sound right up your alley. It can go guttural at times but is more growly than most power metal. Wintersun's s/t is one of my guilty pleasures as it's just so good.

I liked Iced Earth okay, but it never made it into my usual rotation because when I listened to it I just wished I was listening to Blind Guardian, so I turned that on instead. Demons & Wizards is better, mostly because of Hansi's voice, and the first three tracks on III (coincidentally) kind of slap. Good riddance to that poo poo though. If you were curious like I was what Blind Guardian's response was:quote:On the occasion of the assault upon the United States Capitol So obviously as vague a statement as possible, though the "relatives of the deceased" part sucks because all the deceased were brain-poisoned conspiracy theorists as far as I'm aware. I can't find anything about Hansi's political beliefs even if I go as far as I'm willing to search (aka ~the second page of Google results~) and maybe that's for the best.

I stopped listening to Nightwish once Tarja left, but sometime this December while listening to metal Christmas song playlists this one came on and got stuck in my head. It is very dorky and I think it only wound up on the Christmas list because it mentions snowflakes and chimneys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hjSdLToBMo

It’s weird, Annette was totally the wrong choice for the band because you can’t just replace an operatic soprano with a rock vocalist full of pep who simply couldn’t deal with the back catalog. But for some reason I just loved her, especially on the live stuff I saw and the stuff that was written for her range worked well. Floor is far more the right choice for the band, but I’ve not really had much interest in the stuff they’ve done since she joined.

I remember reading that they weren't looking for a female vocalist to replace Tarja, and thought they had a male vocalist for an album, but I think I misremembered the quote.

Oh yeah, also "Born in a Mourning Hall" is more recent, from 1995, and talks about how TV preachers/pundits and sympathy for the upper class is crushing the poor, so that's another in the "probably not a closeted Nazi" column.
