the sick new world lineup for next year gets more insane the longer you look at it

One of the best metal albums in my personal list and one of the most underestimated modern bands of all time.

A perfect blend of metalcore and 80's shredding hair metal. Highly advised👌

One of my favorite vocal performances.

Ascendia released one absolutely killer album ~10 years ago and have been dicking around making terrible pop/metal lately. Haven't released a second album yet but based on some of the clips I've seen, I don't even know if it'd be listenable

Ascendia - At The End Of It All:

Drone with riffs so low and sparse, it makes Sunn o))) look like Dragonforce.

On /r/powermetal on Reddit, someone asked everyone’s favorite power metal albums from 2020-2023.

This was my list. Pretty weak, to be honest. Though 2024 has been solid - Sonata Arctica and Myrath are both my new #1 and #2 for this decade on this list.

Still a lot better prog and power metal-adjacent than pure power metal this decade though.

New Dragony album dropped today and my first impression is that it's not terrible!

Happy Friday, metalheads. Here’s some stuff from the new Oranssi Pazuzu album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pn_eHr0dtPI
I just found out about Chat Pile a couple of months ago and they have a new album out today. The artwork and logo are super cool, so I preferred to post this rather than the youtube link 🤣

Don't be fooled by the logo, the best way I can describe them is like The Jesus Lizard on steroids 💪

I’ve done the VIP thing for two of the previous three but I think I’m likely skipping this one, unfortunately. Have ProgPower the week before (though in the past I’ve done both) and not having worked since June means a depleted bank account, wompwomp
Getting crushed at the casino this week and this has become my go-to rage-in-the-car-on-the-drive-home song
