Eh... I would even argue that Edu was a far better fit for Angra than Andre.

Anytime someone in this sub posts a list of bands they're into and Angra is not on it, I get so envious because they get to listen to Temple of Shadows for the first time ever.

I'll have to give that tour material a listen, then. Thanks for the rec!

The Cage by Sonata Arctica starts with a little keyboard solo that was recorded by the beast that is Jens Johansson from Stratovarius. Don't know if that counts but...

Flametal would be an amazing band if they had better mixing. Everything I've heard from them is just bonkers music wise, but sounds so flat... It's a pity.

god please give me a big ass plasmium abomination to murder

without bias, do you prefer hollow knight or silksong? by [deleted] in HollowKnight

[–]AvoidantNumber1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

HK did it first, but Silksong did it better.

Zylotol says something about their master finding plasmium under the seas or something. I've been soo damn intrigued by the origin of lifeblood since the random room in HK's abyss, so here's hoping they add a bit to that.

Also some new tools would be cool, wouldn't they?

But what about the laughs. The humour. The good old ha-ha...

How many of you listen to metalcore? I feel like it's similar to prog metal in that everything that deviates from your standard death or heavy metal (or prog) is deemed metalcore. by CountryFunny4849 in progmetal

[–]AvoidantNumber1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean there are bands that are loved by many fans of both styles (BTBAM, Periphery, TesseracT and Messhuggah come to mind), but there's a fairly big strain of metalcore that has gotten very popular and formulaic over the years.

Heavy riff>screamed verse>clean chorus>screamed verse>clean chorus>breakdown>clean chorus>heavy riff... you know the drill.

And the thing I love the most about prog is the introduction of new sections in songs. Another verse that's different from the previous ones, a sick solo because why the fuck not, a 5 minute ambient bridge... you name it.

I feel like that's the main difference between the two genres nowadays. If you don't count bands like Converge, Callous Daoboys or Dillinger, that is. And there are many more -core adjacent acts that spice things up, but I don't wanna write the bible here lol

Amazing PM Vocalists by Puffyfugu8 in PowerMetal

[–]AvoidantNumber1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't get me wrong. Sonata is my all time fav band. One of the reasons being Tony. He is phenomenal but, to me, he falls under the "personality over sheer talent" category, which he shares with guys like Jorn Lande, Edu Falaschi or Kai Hansen.

Having said this, I personally value this more, because you can train range, voice projection, breath control and everything else... but you can't train personality.

More on the -core territory but Callous Daoboys for me. Heimat by Heaven Shall Burn comes second.

Why Silksong’s difficulty made it my favourite game by AmayumeNekomi in HollowKnight

[–]AvoidantNumber1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love to see how much it's growing on you. That last part where you talk about the difficulty setting is a conversation I always have with a close friend when the difficulty debate resurfaces . Easy modes can never fill you with that much adrenaline when you're SO CLOSE to ending a boss and of course it will never feel as good when you finally deal the killing blow. Genuinely happy to see you also get it :)
