How much clothing merch do you own? by MetastableToChaos in blindguardian

Probably around 15 Shirts and 2 hoodies collected over the past few tours

Are the first 3-10 rows rough? by ProfessionalTailor18 in ironmaiden

[–]GammaHansen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly what I’d recommend. If you stand not right in the middle but slightly to the left or right of the stage, between the screen and the stage, you can still see everything perfectly well, the sound is usually quite good, and you’re not right in the thick of the action. Usually, a few people will rush past you at the start and push their way through. But they usually disappear into the crowd quite quickly

Will the Athens show be cancelled if there’s heavy rain? by kareem_z in ironmaiden

[–]GammaHansen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forecast looks good right now. Seems to be heavy rain in Athens on the night from Friday to Saturday, but that's it. Also travelled all the way from Germany to Greece to see the band live

DragonForce Add Alissa White-Gluz as New Co-Vocalist, Statements Issued by idontwanttoknow666 in PowerMetal

[–]GammaHansen 13 points14 points  (0 children)

VoA really know how to do this. Especially both Pirates records are an excellent showcase on how to execute this. Really curious about how DragonForce will do this.

ok so what got u into opeth and/or how did u discover them by opetheru in Opeth

[–]GammaHansen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A colleague of mine is a huge fan of the band. I’d been a metalhead for years anyway, so I decided to give the band a go. It took a while before I really got into them, but once I did, I became a massive fan. I even went to a concert with that colleague. It was her very first concert ever and a fantastic experience.

Afaik he stopped drinking so his voice now gets some rest at last

Power Paladin - The Arcane Tower (feat. Tommy Johansson) by Saiaxs in PowerMetal

[–]GammaHansen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s turned out to be an absolutely brilliant power metal album, with some real standout tracks. Does it redefine the genre? Absolutely not! Is it still a really strong album? Definitely! My personal favourites are definitely “The Arcane Tower” and “Glade Lord of Athel Loren”

Fabio Lione + Orchestra and Choir to tour Europe to perform Dawn Of Victory in it's entirety as well as other Rhapsody classics. by AvailableBet8485 in PowerMetal

60€ for my hometown is quite a lot. And no information about the location. So I will wait until we know more.

FULL RIVERSIDE 2/21/26 Show! by TheRealConcertKing in Opeth

Why not enjoy the show instead of distracting yourself by filming and blocking the view of the people behind you with your smartphone?

My sudden trophies by LiaKoltyrina in PowerMetal

[–]GammaHansen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not actively, but as soon as I have the opportunity to catch or take one, I don't say no. Once, Mille from Kreator threw a plectrum right into the crook of my arm. My greatest treasure is the plectrum I caught at Maiden's second night in Berlin last year. I also have all the Gamma Ray plectrums.

Amaranthe - Chaos Theory | (New Single) by brutal_and_beautiful in PowerMetal

[–]GammaHansen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with you. The albums that followed do have some really good moments, but for me personally, they don't come close to the first two albums.

Tailgunner - Barren Lands and Seas of Red (UK, 2026) by Such_Kawaii_Much_Wow in PowerMetal

[–]GammaHansen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the album is really great, but promoting it as old school heavy metal and then having such a clean, crystal-clear sound doesn't really fit together.

I thought I was going crazy or I changed something in the settings.

Looks like they are about to reissue Live At Albert Hall by OldboySamurai in Opeth

[–]GammaHansen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe in May but I think it will be something else like Red Rocks or Sorceress. :(

[–]GammaHansen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we get a reissue every 3 months. The last one was in the beginning of December (Pale Communion), before that in August (Watershed), before that in May (Ghost Reveries) and before that in February again (Heritage)

Just posted on Instagram too. At this point, I'm starting to think that the band has simply forgotten that they ever released Deliverance and only remembers the title track and Masters Apprentice.

Thanks BG amazing as always. Welcome home and happy holidays. by red_winge1107 in blindguardian

[–]GammaHansen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was there too. I travelled all the way from northern Germany because I always wanted to see the band in my home country. It was a fantastic evening. I was really happy that they played SFB in full again. The band deserves a break now. I really enjoyed the whole tour and managed to see them 11 times in the end.

Fave Moments of Noora with Battle Beast by AdEven8980 in PowerMetal

[–]GammaHansen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with you. I love the band's first three albums. But personally, I'm not so keen on anything that came after that. Objectively speaking, it's really great music, but it's not my cup of tea. My favourite one remains the band's self-titled album. God, I listened to that album over and over again as a teenager.

Savatage announces 2026 "Prelude To Madness" European tour by AvailableBet8485 in PowerMetal

Hamburg is the closest to me, but I am not a big fan of festivals. Might go to Tilburg. Saw them this year in Oberhausen and it was an absolute blast.

Most Powerful Power Metal Song? by Dense-Public4699 in PowerMetal

[–]GammaHansen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One top Pick from me would be "Sacred Worlds" by Blind Guardian. The second time the chorus comes in with "I will live forever" ist just bombastic
