Battle metal

doc_backmask · October 12th, 2007, 05:48 PM

For some strange reason, I've really been feeling into this "genre" lately. So far, I've generated an enthusiasm for these bands. Feel free to post the ones you enjoy (or flame me for some lame taste in metal

).

Alestorm
Amon Amarth
Turisas
Moonsorrow

JBroll · October 12th, 2007, 10:35 PM

Waiting on more Alestorm clips.

Amon Amarth kicks ass.

Never heard of Turisas.

doc_backmask · October 12th, 2007, 11:49 PM

Turisas is some great Scandanavian metal. Just remembered Finntroll and Korpiklaani (spelling???)

JBroll · October 13th, 2007, 12:45 AM

I need something to make up for the 'Disney Metal' moments of the new Nightwish, Amon Amarth very well could be the key.

Yeah, AA rule. Was listening to Versus the World yesterday, and then watched a few clips from their massive Wrath of the Norsemen DVD.

Wow, these guys have a very dark sound, too. Ruling. Very interesting vocal work on Kivenkantaja.

Oh yeah, forgot about a few of those. I find Enslaved and Wintersun to be good for those times when I'm stuck in noncreative moods. I've been hearing a lot about Falkenbach, too. Guess I'll have to check out this list

sorceron · November 2nd, 2007, 11:10 PM

Listen to Bathory albums: Blood Fire Death, Hammerheart, Twilight Of The Gods.

This album is awesome, infact just about every Moonsorrow album is good. Their new ep "Firestorm" is supposed to come out in March.

Kazrog · November 4th, 2007, 05:06 PM

A little late to this thread, at least to post in it. I've been into Amon Amarth for a few years, but wow, these other bands are aweosme!!

Totally digging Alestorm and Moonsorrow right now. Thanks!!

Chairman Kaga · December 2nd, 2007, 05:42 AM

Jeff-Loomis-fan · December 2nd, 2007, 12:09 PM

True, however, I categorize them all under the very broad umbrella term of "battle metal". These bands have a few things in common with each other and that was what I was trying to highlight. They each express themes of movement and conquest.

JBroll · December 4th, 2007, 06:14 PM

I'd like to see the concept album about Rommel, personally.

Jeff

Trench · October 19th, 2008, 01:20 PM

Ya'll should check out suidakra http://www.myspace.com/suidakra
They really are an awesome highly underrated band in this genre. I especially recommend checking out the aptly title Wartunes on their myspace.

Wolven Ancestry · October 20th, 2008, 09:41 PM

Will of the Ancients.
unbelievably good Canadian "battle metal"

Kamileon · August 7th, 2009, 02:40 PM

Dissection's "Storm of the Light's Bane/Where Dead Angels Lie" has a couple good songs. Check out Unhallowed and Night's Blood. OK stuff!
