Yeah, I'm super active in Live Action Role Playing... been doing it for years now...🧐

And I listen to Rhapsody... along with a ton of other metal bands...😎

Unfortunately, I've only made it to a Live Action Role Playing event twice. 😢 I just don't have the time. It's a cool hobby, though.
(It’s just a total mess because the community is "corrupt as hell!" I show up with my sword and they tell me the foam is too thin. Then some older guy shows up with the exact same sword and suddenly everything is fine! What kind of rules are those?!)

Did you guys know that Stara used to be from America? I read that somewhere. If only they would tour America or even just hit up New York City! 🙂 That would be 👍

Austin Phillips3.... if you want to keep talking trash like that, come down to Seattle and I'll shove my sword right up your ass! 🙂 (Don't worry, I'll wrap it in foam so it doesn't hurt too much... much! 🙂 ) 😠

I had no idea the third installment was out already. Does anyone here actually have a copy? Is it even worth the time? 😲

Everyone loves to claim that Hammerfall is just some commercial sellout act, but honestly? They can actually play their instruments.🙂 And let’s be real—they easily have some of the best album art out there!

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.

👍 👍

Do they even have a new album out yet? I haven't listened to them in ages.

Good grief... Hammerfall is basically the bottom of the barrel when it comes to power metal. I get it, some people just dig the genre and stick to whatever mid-tier bands they find, but Hammerfall? Really? 😵

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.

Austin Phillips3, why do you feel the need to insult bands just because they aren't your cup of tea? That doesn't make them garbage. You claim Hammerfall is bottom-tier... based on what scale? Yours? Well, I’m happy to tear that little scale of yours to shreds.
Did you even realize that Rhapsody is one of those rare bands where the members actually finished music academy... in Juilliard! If you know anything at all about music, you know how incredibly difficult that curriculum is.
My playlist runs the gamut from Death and black metal through thrash and straight into power metal. Most bands sound good to me. And even when they don't, I'm not going to call them trash because I respect the effort they put in—even if it's just noise!
(The only thing I can't stand is punk. Honestly, it sounds like people banging on pots and pans... like UK Subs or whatever. It's terrible! But again, that's just my own scale.) So, please, spare us the unnecessary comments and your messed up little hierarchy. Thanks.
God bless you 😘

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

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

I’m not about to start making clones all over this forum 😉

And you call it "music"? Power metal isn't just music... it's art. 🙂 Stay true! 🙂

I can't really speak to the entire Power metal scene as a whole—I've mostly just stuck to listening to Rhapsody—but I will say they're pretty solid, definitely worth a listen if you're into that sort of thing.
