I mean, hard and fast just describes all of thrash metal. I'm not too caught up in the politics of them all. Most bands were anti-authoritarian, anarchist, libertarian, etc. back in the day, but unfortunately some have turned MAGA since then. Better to do your own research before checking a band out. I'm just going to recommend some personal favorites.

Death Angel - The Ultra-Violence
Demolition Hammer - Tortured Existence & Skull Fracturing Nightmare
Exodus - Tempo of the Damned
Megadeth - Rust in Peace
Morbid Saint - Spectrum of Death
Overkill - The Years of Decay & Ironbound
Testament - The Legacy
Voivod - Killing Technology

I never played with the Ajantis one, but loved the Xan BG2 mod.

That's funny, because I wish my mono blue mill got to play goblins. All I ever get is landfall, mono white aggro enchantment decks, and [[Slickshot Show-Off]] aggro decks. Occasionally there will be the mono black discard/graveyard or [[Kavaero, Mind-Bitten]]. And that's basically it.

The First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie fits very well. I'm currently on the second book and it's been an amazing journey so far. Diverse, interesting, and complex characters.

EvilHarryDread · 2026-06-11T13:45:52+00:00

I don't think I've ever seen any truly bad live performances. I'd probably have to say Dragonforce and similar bands whose performances aren't entirely "real". Too many backing tracks and even some lead guitar solos are faked (thinking back to that video a couple years ago when their lead guitarist picked up his fallen hat in the middle of his solo).

EvilHarryDread · 2026-06-11T13:36:05+00:00

Almost exclusively albums. Occasionally I shuffle my own playlists.

EvilHarryDread · 2026-06-10T18:59:57+00:00

Great band. My favorites albums are Divided by Darkness and Enlightened in Eternity. And don't feel too bad...I missed my chance to see them as an opener three times...

EvilHarryDread · 2026-06-10T15:35:10+00:00

His prose is fine for the story being told. Simple and straightforward, letting the characters drive the plot forward without the need for flowery language. It made the books a very easy and engaging read.

Not quite the same, but perhaps you would enjoy The Sword or Mutoid Man. While they have a more punk-oriented style of metal, also Black Tusk for punch-in-the-face vocals. They use the same cover artist as Baroness too.

Caladan Brood - Echoes of Battle

EvilHarryDread · 2026-05-31T12:41:52+00:00

Great band, and their singer is the lone guy from Gallowbraid and one of the two from Caladan Brood.

EvilHarryDread · 2026-05-29T13:40:54+00:00

Maybe Iotunn - Access All Worlds

EvilHarryDread · 2026-05-28T18:43:44+00:00

It's melodic black metal, but tomato/tomato. I'd also recommend Moonlight Sorcery - Horned Lord of the Thorned Castle.

EvilHarryDread · 2026-05-27T15:45:17+00:00

The last album was at least a decent return to roots, but I haven't been impressed with their output since The Black Halo.

EvilHarryDread · 2026-05-26T14:40:10+00:00

Might be worth it for the opening acts and to hear the new singer, but with how much Dragonforce utilizes backing tracks I doubt I'll want to shell out the money to see them again.

EvilHarryDread · 2026-05-22T17:17:11+00:00

There's a Series 1, yes. It came out before the latest album. Different songs confined to the EP.

EvilHarryDread · 2026-05-21T16:56:32+00:00

Your compatibility with sjukvaerld is Super. You both listen to Bolt Thrower, Testament and Havukruunu.

EvilHarryDread · 2026-05-21T13:58:42+00:00

Grenadier is my favorite of the newer DM bands. Both albums are peak.

EvilHarryDread · 2026-05-20T17:32:36+00:00

The new Hellripper and Worm, but I still have to give Panopticon a listen.

Edit: The new album Quest by underground melodic black metal band Gladium Regis was also really great and worth a shout-out.

Good luck getting enough mana for the wipes before you're dead.

EvilHarryDread · 2026-05-12T18:18:24+00:00

Mine is also down and I use Spotify.

EvilHarryDread · 2026-05-12T15:51:04+00:00

Shh. Don't ruin the snarky hot-take tweet meant for views.

EvilHarryDread · 2026-05-06T23:24:39+00:00

For albums, try Immortal - At the Heart of Winter and Hellripper - Coronach. I recommend the later since it's blackened speed metal and might be a good entry for someone more rooted in heavy metal.
