Does anyone of you watch Metalocalypse?

I do. Even though no one here has any clue what that is. But so far I was successful at converting 'em into Dethklok minions.

I've seen it, I know of it, I like it.

Just listened to the new Gallhammer album The End and I must say my god was it bad.
Just listen to how bad it is.

You should add some Sacramentum to that fine playlist. 

Sacramentum - Fog's Kiss

This shall help heal my ears.

I've been listening to a lot of Gorgoroth lately and it's struck me just how much better the band has gotten now that they have all that legal **** behind them. Also, Pest is a damn good black metal vocalist. They also got the bassist from Obituary now, so I think the fire burns deep again for them.

Also, do any black metal enthusiasts like Tsjuder or Hellsaw? Quite good bands from the genre. Hellsaw is Austrian black metal and they're pretty raw.

I don't know if anyone mentioned this band so I'm gonna bring them up anyway.

Has anyone ever heard of Savatage, an American heavy/speed/progressive metal band of around the same time period as Iron Maiden. I knew of them by name and of one song thanks to 'Brütal Legend. I was on vacation a few weeks ago and I started listening to their albums 'Hall of the Mountain King' and 'Gutter Ballet' and I was blown away as to how awesome they are.  They don't do that much these days (more busy on side-projects) unfortunately, mostly because one of their guitarists died back in the 90's and they never quite recovered from that.

A few examples of my favourites so far:

Hall of the Mountain King
White Witch
Gutter Ballet

I like Savatage, although I haven't heard all that incredibly many songs by them. I was under the impression that they were pretty well-known, but I'm not a very good judge of that. Those three are all good songs there.

Any Helloween fans?

At least one (in addition to, presumably, yourself)!

Kinda cool! I usually listen to this kind of music while driving my car. This is perfect "car-drive-music" in my opinion! 

We were on the road when I popped this in the CD player. Indeed very good on the road

The interesting thing about Savatage is that they don't stick to a single guitar tuning. They've got songs that can be played in Dropped-C, Dropped-D, D tuning or the standard E tuning.

Hall of the mountain King is great to play alongside medieval fantasy games, it's a classic. I've watched metalocalypse every now and then, it's kind of hit-and-miss for me. It just... kinda needs some zazz, you know? Really gotta zazz it up.
The songs they do, however, are undeniably awesome, and bask in the unholy glory of metal.

I know of Hall of the Mountain King because of Brutal Legend. It was one of the songs I always put on. That, Angel Witch and Deadly Sinners. Great fun.

That's a pain in the butt if you only have 1 guitar (like me). <_<

I like it when I can play whole albums without having to switch tuning between songs.

Well I can't say for a fact they actually play it in those specific tunings. But I know that for example, you can't play White Witch without a low D5 chord. Which means E tuning won't do.

Yeah, Brütal Legend has a great soundtrack. It also made me start listening to Slayer. It's unfortunate that the game is somewhat underdeveloped.

I'm not exactly a metalhead myself anymore. But I used to be back when Metallica were noisy kids with pimples. An old friend of mind keeps to his young roots and feeds me a healthy dose of metal sometimes. One band in particular that has grabbed my attention recently is Artillery.

Otherwise I stay with the classics. Metallica, Accept and Motorhead.

I know what you mean!

I used to listen to metal allmost full-time. But recently I've gotten more into classical music like Vivaldi, Bach and Beethoven.


I'm not joking! I would have never guessed I would ever get into that kind of stuff, but here I am, listening to Vivaldi's four season themes! Amazing stuff!


Anyway, back to metal now! *starts up Dawn of Demise*

For some reason metalheads have an easy time listening to classical music. Especially some of the grand, dramatical pieces. I personally have a soft spot for Händel, great for headbanging. ;-)

On occasion I listen to Wagner myself. I actually went to three of the four parts of Der Ring des Nibelungen. Still need to see Die Walküre

It's because metal in its true form is a modern expression of romanticism of the 18th century. I mean seriously, Tchaikovsky is metal as **** (04:20) and he didn't even know it.

And it's one of the few genres of popular music where musicianship and artistry are appreciated.
