Bryan Barrett said:So, what are we talking about here? Is this gonna be something like Bodom? 🤔 😬

God forbid.

Austin Phillips3 said:I was really thinking more along the lines of some heavy metal black metal stuff. 🙂

We could pull off those epic vibes like Rhapsody, but you know, actually leaning into the dark side. 🙏

And honestly? We gotta throw in at least a little bit of that black metal vocal grit in the tracks. 🙏🙏🙏

Plus, I’m definitely taking the frontman spot... mostly because let's face it, they all gravitate toward me anyway. 😎

Black metal works too, sounds pretty sick actually.
I'll handle the drums. 🙂

So, apparently, Brutal Power actually exists.

These guys are ready to hit the States with that signature mix of Brutal Power and insane technical skill, basically aiming to set the whole crowd on fire just like they’ve been doing all over Europe. We're still waiting on more headliners to be locked in, but here’s who is officially hitting the stage at Lollapalooza so far:

Eldritch
Ion Vein
Twelth Gate
Gracepoint
Black Mirror
Soul Eater

Mean Batman said:Jason Richardson5, you down to start a band? 🙂

Can we get some heavy metal in here? Like, the really brutal, crushing power death metal kind? Anyone else feeling that vibe?

If it doesn't exist, then you just gotta build it.

Kerrang! 😂

Come on, man, what's even the point? I'm not really one of those people who's gonna sit here and argue all day long—there are definitely folks way more qualified than me to handle that kind of stuff.

Charles Baker3 said:Man, listen... people keep trying to box me in like I’m some kind of hardcore metal elitist or whatever. It’s such a tired stereotype, honestly. Like, do you really think it's that simple? I started out with the classics—you know, the old-school Metallica, Slayer, Iron Maiden, Pantera, all that stuff. But I’ve moved past that phase now. Don't get me wrong, I still vibe with Behemoth or Dark Tranquillity every once in a while when the mood strikes, but at the end of the day? It's Power metal that I truly respect. That's where the real heart is for me.

Look, I'm not even a metalhead. Seriously, just check out that link in my signature and see for yourself.

Charles Baker3 said:I end up drinking almost every weekend... well, whenever my job actually lets me have some downtime, anyway.

What does that even have to do with anything? Seriously, what’s the connection there? 😕

Charles Baker3 said:And that thing you said... about how metal is just this solid, heavy, powerful force? Yeah.🤣

And then YOU have the nerve to call us gay...🙄

🙄 Look, it’s like you’re just dodging the point by nitpicking my wording, man. You know exactly what I’m getting at. Aggression... that’s the soul of the music, brother. That raw energy is everything. And honestly? You just don't find that kind of grit in Power metal.

Charles Baker3 said:Nah, you're wrong. CMAR is total trash. 😬

If that's really how it goes, then... what are we even doing here? I mean, seriously. If things are actually playing out like that, then everything changes, right? It’s kind of wild to think about. Just one shift and suddenly the whole vibe is different. Makes you wonder, doesn't it? 👍 But still... just totally gay. 👎

Man, honestly, we got hit with a ban because of you guys the other day, and I’m not even sorry about it.
The absolute dumbest music thread ever created 🙏

Power metal is basically just what people listen to when they aren't tough enough to handle anything actually aggressive. Every single person I know who listens to power metal is a total loser who just locks themselves in their room playing video games—and I’m being dead serious here. Only one guy I know is halfway decent, and even he's mostly into pop. At the end of the day, power doesn't deserve to have "metal" in its name because it just isn't. It's exactly what you guys were arguing about... metal is supposed to be heavy and powerful, and unfortunately, power metal just isn't 👎

Austin Phillips3 said:Warm brothers. Screw power metal and all that other weak, soft crap music. 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮

Real pornogrind/Death is what actual men listen to. 🙂

Your brother is a real one😳 and you’re right there with him😛

As long as we have power metal and those sweaty guys slaying dragons out in the hills of Dill, the world will be okay🙂

POWER METAL

Power metal is king

Exactly, they're all high-brow and educated or whatever, while the Bat just listens to crappy punk 🤮

Austin Phillips3 said:My God... Hammerfall is honestly bottom-of-the-barrel power metal. Like, I get it, some people just love the genre and stick to a few decent bands, but why on earth would anyone pick Hammerfall? Seriously, what are we even doing here? 😵

You honestly just don't have a clue. 😳 Look, you can totally just skip this thread if you want. No pressure at all. 😳

Labyrinth is still pretty decent too, I guess... though I haven't really spun their stuff in a minute. Haven't really been deep in that rabbit hole lately.

I'm totally with you on this one. This kind of music is for real men, not just some softies.

Hammerfall is the way to go.

Man, for me, the Hammerfall law is 🙂

Honestly, Epikuratz is actually a pretty solid band 👍

mistypanther said:Jesus, even George is getting wrecked by those radicals now🙂 😁

Things are just going downhill for them lately, aren't they?😁

🤣 aaaa 😂
