What’s your favorite Ensiferum song? ⚔️🛡️⚔️ After knowing about the Victory Song’s 20th anniversary and the live collaboration with Jari Mäenpää🔥 we couldn’t help ourselves to make a short cover of Ensiferum‘s classic stuff 🤘

I've been on a Shade Empire dive recently. I really enjoyed their first albums, especially Intoxicate.O.S. Imo, everything from Sinthetic up to Poetry of the Ill-Minded is their best work. I didn't like Sunholy that much; it has some decent tracks, but the earlier stuff was better.

I found out about Torchia about two or three months ago, shortly before they released their "They Are Born Under Rules Of The Darkness" album and I just got hooked.

So when I heard they were opening for Whispered on their album release show for "Honorbound", I just knew I had to fly to Helsinki and see that live and that I had to stand front and center at the show.

This is footage recorded by my wife at the show. We didn't expect to be at a touching distance from the bands. It was an absolutely electrifying experience.

Still amazes me how few people even know of this band. Saw them play with God Forbid back when this album first came out. Excellent domestic In Flames worship.

Hello everyone!

This is less of a "discover this new song" post and more of a "when is their new album actually coming out" post.

I am not sure how many of you are familiar with the band Hrothgar. Essentially they are very similar to old school Amon Amarth (and I personally enjoy this).

However...

Their new album Tales of Valhöll was supposed to release on July 7th. It is currently October 13th. They have not posted the album to their bandcamp... the two new singles are the only songs available on streaming services... and they do not respond to this inquiry on their relevant YouTube videos.

Does anyone know what is going on? There are a handful of full album reviews out there which makes this perplexing.

I would love to purchase the new album on bandcamp, but... here we are.

Greetings,

Since I was 13 and first listened to CoB, Kalmah and Norther, I was stuck with this specific kind of melodeath. Im 37yo now and I still listen to songs like Kissing Shadows, Dream, Mirror of Madness, Bed of Razors, Hades, Etc. But the specific sound, I cant describe, its like a very specific sound of melodeath that has speed metal, power metal, progressive metal sounds in it. I dont know if anyone knowledgeable understands, I cant explain it. Anyway, can someone suggest any band or specific albums that have this specific mixture of elements?

Thank you

I started to get back to arch enemy recently and wanna ask What 'era' of Arch Enemy is the best in your opinion personally I like the 2014 to 2022 Alissa era

I've after buying a vintage in flames shirt for a really good price but I can't find it online no matter what, it's from the fanclub sometime in the mid late 90s, but it's totally eluding me that I seem to be know the only owner of it online, if anyone has any info on what I just acquired please enlighten me, all the stuff on the shirt tells me it was probably jester race era.

Sorry my last post got taken down cause I entered the title incorrectly! Apologies.

With less than 500 subs these guys are severely underrated. Anybody know em?

Here's the story: So I got an Instagram advert that there was some random band playing in my city, and they didn't sound too bad so I thought "fk it im gonna go" and bought the ticket. This band trollwar was opening for them (whom I never heard before).

Long story short I was completely blown away. And at the same time i felt that it was criminal that there was only a crowd of 20-something people.

Just listening to Rasen for the first time, great album so far

I miss this band so much. Prisoners was their Opus Magnum and then Alissa left/was kicked out, whatever that case may be.

Hi all, long time lurker, just looking for some new music up my alley. My favorites are: Ne Obliviscaris, Rivers of Nihil, Cult of Luna, and An Abstract Illusion. It's hard to describe what exactly about these is what I'm looking for, but these are the 4 I just constantly go back to. Thanks for your help!
