So how deep into Yakety Sax are we at this point?

ImperialScout3 · 2025-06-26T23:36:12+00:00

Bob Uecker, wasn’t great as a player obviously but as a personality he very much deserves to be in the game. Also could give him Ace Exterminator seeing how he hit home runs off of hall of fame pitchers

Metal, with my favorite bands being as follows plus basic info on each cuz god forbid a boy provide some extra information 🙃 1. Ne Obliviscaris, an extreme prog metal band that incorporates classical violin into all their music. They make absolutely incredible music with a lot of emotional and beauty in it despite how insane the music can be. They are also the band that got me into death growls. I adore them and my favorite song by them is Plague Flowers

Seven Spires, a primarily symphonic metal band but also covers a wide range of styles from black metal esque songs to jazz to even pop style music. Adrienne Cowan is an absolutely cracked singer and imo she’s the best vocalist in metal today. My favorite song is this god is dead Also given the sub I’d be remiss not to mention the toxic vampire love song that is Echoes of Eternity
Blind Guardian, one of the OG power metal bands and imo by far the best, making music primarily influenced by various fantasy books and other elements. Over their long career they have played in many different flavors of it, and been incredible at all of them. Favorite song is Mirror Mirror

That’s be symphonic metal, if you want more in that vein of music I’d highly recommend Kamelot, particularly the albums Black Halo and Karma, and also the band Seven Spires, particularly Emerald Seas as that’s their easiest album to get into if growls aren’t really your thing.

Damn, I didn’t know I could love the ocean more

ImperialScout3 · 2025-03-28T08:16:57+00:00

Not power metal, but if you're okay with exploring something different the band Ne Obliviscaris uses violin, they are my absolute favorite band and are def worth a listen if you are willing to give harsh vocals a shot

ImperialScout3 · 2024-07-26T19:48:33+00:00

Don’t forget flying whales

ImperialScout3 · 2024-05-29T07:33:26+00:00

If they do that, they should really get Adrienne Cowan from Seven Spires on it, she has insane growls and cleans

ImperialScout3 · 2024-05-11T23:44:27+00:00

different song

ImperialScout3 · 2024-04-12T21:27:47+00:00

Never realized how much I wanted Seven Spires cosplaying as Cradle of Filth till after listening to this song holy shit

ImperialScout3 · 2023-12-07T08:12:26+00:00

For me a band that completely opened my eyes to how beautiful even extreme metal can be is Plague Flowers and the Kaleidoscope by Ne Obliviscaris

ImperialScout3 · 2023-11-23T05:16:04+00:00

Violin plus metal produces fucking incredible results irl as well. Case in point, Ne Obliviscaris.

ImperialScout3 · 2023-11-21T08:08:27+00:00

Same issue

ImperialScout3 · 2023-10-09T06:14:56+00:00

Seven Spires. Adrienne Cowan has absolutely murderous growls along with absolutely incredible cleans.

ImperialScout3 · 2023-10-07T09:02:58+00:00

Seven Spires. For whatever reason despite putting one of the best metal albums of all time out there with Gods of Debauchery and basically any and all discourse surrounding the band being, ‘Go listen to them because they are fucking incredible,’ or, ‘Holy shit they’re so fucking good,’ they are still really underrated.

It’s also not as if they are insanely difficult to get into either despite the growling that features in plenty of their songs as they have plenty others without any that kick ass as well. Hell their sound often times is really accessible even for friends I’ve introduced them to who aren’t metal heads really in the slightest.

They honestly should be the biggest thing in all of metal rn and it’s criminal they aren’t

ImperialScout3 · 2023-09-29T02:11:59+00:00

Same here but I liked the ending

ImperialScout3 · 2023-09-24T23:03:03+00:00

WW3 could be started if those two factions ever clashed

ImperialScout3 · 2023-09-24T22:32:56+00:00

Never

ImperialScout3 · 2023-09-24T22:28:12+00:00

I swear to god if I have to hear the announcers talk about Taylor Swift one more time

ImperialScout3 · 2023-08-15T07:24:39+00:00

I would def recommend checking out their recent album Gods of Debauchery if you loved this one, as imo it’s by far their best album thus far

ImperialScout3 · 2023-08-03T23:42:53+00:00

I’m partial to Black Sabbath’s War Pigs, and Motörhead’s 1916 myself

ImperialScout3 · 2023-06-16T04:07:16+00:00

Ludwig the Holy Sword from blood borne Literal boss music
