I'm looking for more bands to lift to. I like Manowar, Sabaton, Battle Beast, Grand Magus and I've been on a real Turisas kick lately. So yeah, camp and cheese is preferred :v:. Especially looking for more similar to Turisas's Stand Up and Fight.

Yessss it's been a while since this has come up

I always pump to death metal / melo-death like BOLT THROWER, Mors Principium Est, Wretched, Hour of Penance, Origin, Decapitated, Gravedigger, Fleshgod Apocalypse

except for when I pump to cheesy loving awesome stuff like Brainstorm, Helloween, Symphony X

Some of their slower songs are loving amazing for big heavy squats. Whatever gets your war face up.

You couldn't go wrong with Blind Guardian, either. Or for folkier stuff in the vein of Turisas, why not Ensiferum, Korpiklaani, and Týr? King of Asgard is pretty great too, a bit more thrashy, and while we're on the Viking theme throw some Amon Amarth on that playlist.

In My Sword I Trust - Ensiferum
Hear the Heathen Call - Týr
Einhärjar - King of Asgard
Literally anything by Amon Amarth
Ievan Polkka - Korpiklaani (no, I'm not kidding; fulfills the camp requirement at least)
Nehalennia and Als De Dood Weer Naar Ons Lacht - Heidevolk

Images and Words, Awake and Scenes from a Memory are basically the holy trinity when it comes to Dream Theater (I actually really liked Octavarium, but some folks will disagree with me).

Also, do yourself a favor and listen to Holographic Universe by Scar Symmetry. It's probably one of the best proggy melodeath records I've heard.

as if all this was something more
than another footnote on a postcard from nowhere,
another chapter in the handbook for exercises in futility
While nowhere near as strong as Keldian, this Kingdom of the Night 2 album by (dinosaurs) Axxis, whose first Kingdom of the Night CD I found in a dollar bin like a decade ago, has that layered-chorus, somewhat scintillating power metal/AOR blend that might be appreciated here. Warning: it is very bright and poppy and probably lacking in self-awareness but hey this is metal:
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1eszvz_axxis-kingdom-of-the-night-ii-black-edition-full-album_music

In news less offensive to the kult kommittee, Aldrahn has resurfaced for The Deathtrip's Deep Drone Master, which has Snorre Ruch in some kind of producing or mixing capacity, and which appears to loving rule. For fans of Kronet til Konge and Darkthrone's best minimalist stuff, but with Thorns' overall sonority. All the album's songs have leaked to YT. Here is one:

For ultimate cheesy fun, Alestorm is the poo poo. Granted they don't quite have the chest-pounding kind of pomp of those bands so I'm not sure about its suitability to lifting, but just throwing it in anyways.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f55CqLc6IR0

Seconding the Amon Amarth mention just because it's Amon loving Amarth.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-T6q0XajGU

Also, you can't really go around talking about cheesy Finnish folk metal stuff without dropping Finntroll in the mix somewhere, since they basically invented this kind of polka-metal and have been consistently great all throughout their career.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukZZMafro9E
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Z2MG0-johY

On a lighter note, Heavy Metal Perse have some really catchy choruses with a really nice drive. I guess they started as a parody band (the name literally just means Heavy Metal Butt), but they pretty quickly evolved into a legit good power metal outfit with a pretty distinct sound. Yes, I'm serious, they're called Heavy Metal Butt and they're not a joke band.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsdHaKd5b8w

Oh and speaking of Ensiferum, Petri Lindroos was also in this band called Norther. Their first couple albums could be described as a mix of Ensiferum and Children of Bodom, and had some pretty nice catchy tunes. Afaik they took a more usual melodeath route after that, I'm not that familiar with their later material. (As an irrelevant sidenote, they were a major factor in me learning to appreciate harsh vocals way back when.)

EDIT:
Holy gently caress, this is actually some good poo poo. I've never actually looked into Axxis at all, I've just filed them under "Summadat oldtimey cock rock that's probably kinda fun but I have no time for". If any of their older material is this good then I've been sorely missing out.

They barely ever play anything from their older albums. You can expect like a song or two from Century Child or even Wishmaster, but most of the set will be from Once and forward. Or that's how it's been so far, but now they have had Floor on board for a while, maybe that will change? Fans have been clamoring for it, at least.
Anyways, because I'm a career Nightwish fanboy and pretty bored at the moment, here's a quick rundown of their discography.

Angels fall First: The softest album, quite a different sound from everything since. Has some folky parts, too. Tuomas actually sings some lead parts on this one and, well, let's just say there's a reason he stopped that going forward. All in all the album sounds pretty cheap to be honest, but it does have a naive kinda charm to it I guess.
Song to check: Astral Romance. (yes it's just as cheesy as the title suggests.)

Oceanborn and Wishmaster
The straight-up power metal albums. Big step up from AFF in terms of heaviness, speed and energy. Still no orchestrations, just loads of cheesy synths and Tarja's oh-so-dramatic operatic vocals. Some absolute killer power metal songs here.
Songs to check: Sacrament of Wilderness and She Is My Sin. (live version with Floor Jansen)

Century Child
The intermediary between the old power metal Nightwish and the new massive movie score Nightwish; Still largely power metal, but heavier, darker and bigger. Actual choir and orchestra used, though not yet to the extent as later on. Tarja considerably tones down the operatics. First album with Marco Hietala on board.
Song to check: Bless the Child. (live version with Floor)

Once
The one where things blew the gently caress up. Poppy songs got poppier, heavy songs got heavier. Full "everything larger than life" mode engaged, choirs and orchestrations by the London Philharmonics out the rear end. Probably the quintessential Nightwish album, and the last one with Tarja on the vocals.
Song to check: Ghost Love Score. (Live version. Floor Jansen absolutely nails the everloving poo poo out of this song.)

Dark Passion Play and Imaginaerum
Natural continuation from Once. Songs more varied in style. Orchestrations possibly even a bit bigger still. Sound a lot poppier due to Anette Olzon's vocals, which are pretty warm and "girly" instead of the old dramatic style. I quite like her voice on the albums, but as a live performer I think she didn't really fit the band's style.
Songs to check: Amaranth (Floor version) and Last Ride of the Day (Floor)

Other things to expect from a Nightwish show: Shitloads of weapons-grade pyrotechnics, Marco Hietala being a complete loveable dumbass.

That's disappointing. Everything after Once had a few good ones but it's not the same. Jansen's vocals are better for NW so maybe they'll do better.

Yeah. I mean I personally like the newer stuff just as well, but I'd really really love if they started playing more balanced sets again.
They did play Sacrament of Wilderness a few times with Anette even, but from the bootleg recordings I've seen, she did kinda struggle with it. Floor Jansen is such an amazingly versatile singer, so at least there should be one less barrier for playing the old stuff now. I'd love to hear her sing that song, or The Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean, or hell why not even Elvenpath. One can only hope.
