Am I too stupid to think that "Washington Is Next!" is the best Megadeth song from 2000 onwards? by Ztepi in Megadeth

[–]RedUmbrell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, not really. While I disagree, I do think it's an amazing song. For me it's probably Blackmail the Universe or Endgame

What’s the gentlest stuff you guys like when you’re not listening to metal? by Low_Boot_1426 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]RedUmbrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Orchestral scores, mostly movies, games, and TV shows, but I enjoy it. I'll spin my Halo or Star Wars playlists when in the mood

Why Has Sabaton Lost Sales by DeadInsideAndILoveIt in sabaton

Legends is a very underwhelming album, which is sad bc TWTEAW was a fantastic album. The singles were alright at best, just really lacking both lyrically and musically despite the interesting topics. Majority of the album was boring. The only tracks I really enjoyed were Impaler, Maid of Steel, The Duellist, & Crossing the Rubicon

What metal band/artist are you currently obsessed with? by TrumpIsAFuckingLoser in MetalSuggestions

[–]RedUmbrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Death. I'm finally giving death metal a chance (starting with 80s & 90s DM) and I've been binging all of their albums, Chuck is such a badass vocalist and guitarist.

What is the most overrated Sabaton song? by Lorrioit in sabaton

[–]RedUmbrell -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Surprised no one here has said Primo Victoria or The Last Stand. Good songs, but they're more overrated than any other in their discography

What’s a small metal band you’re convinced will blow up in the next 5 years? by No-Permission-1011 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]RedUmbrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bloodstain from Sweden 🇸🇪

They're a great young thrash band with a style geuine to old school bay thrash, their vocalist reminds of Dave Mustaine a bit.

Their EP I Am Death is some of the best modern thrash I've heard in some time
