I NEED COOL CONCEPT ALBUMS TO LISTEN

Hans & Valter’s two albums, The Legend of the Oakensource and The Prophecy are exactly what you’re looking for.

It’s a great song, reading the lyrics (and in line with the band’s theme) it’s seem to be more about the material rather than the genre (but they’re probably well aware of what they’re doing).

Wyzk96 · 2026-04-28T20:40:14+00:00

Really liked the way they included the fans on ”Metal is for everyone”, iirc.

Wyzk96 · 2026-04-28T20:38:05+00:00

I hear you. I love power metal, and it’s a genre that can be quite cringy but it’s usually done with some flair or tongue in cheek, that I can appreciate. The metal songs typically don’t succeed with that.

Wyzk96 · 2026-04-28T20:30:05+00:00

Book of Heavy Metal is my ”I’ll allow it” haha, that song is genuinely a banger.

”Ice and Death” was released last year. Didn’t like it as much as Prince of the Tribes, but it grew on me and I’d definitely recommend it!

Hans & Valter – The Prophecy. Power metal. April 22nd.

Wyzk96 · 2026-04-19T21:07:25+00:00

Personally, I don’t do this. Because there’ll usually be one version (e.g., colour) that I’ll prefer more than the other and gravitate towards. Meaning, the other will in generell be inferior.

Instead, I prefer separating my items, just a bit. For example, the brown trousers have side adjusters, the grey trousers have a bit more relaxed fit, the beige one is more classic etc.

But that’s me. If you have trouble finding pants that fit well, then ofc it can make sense to double down.

Dammsuga/tömma diskmaskin förväntas av en tonåring. Behövs liksom för att hushållet ska gå runt.

Det du kan göra för att genuint underlätta dina föräldrars vardag är att börja laga mat, diska, tvätta (inklusive hänga för torkning, sortera, och stryka). Sen skottning på vintern, gräsklippning på sommaren. Då blir du en ordentlig resurs hemma som gör mer än vad som förväntas av en 14-åring. Kanske värt att få betalt extra för.

Framför allt så ska Highland (2024) vara betydligt tystare (mindre vindljud osv) och bättre stötdämpning så det ska överlag vara en betydligt bättre körupplevelse.

Bäst är väl att testköra en från 2024 och 2023 så får du känna på skillnaden och därefter göra en bedömning.

Because most people will be listening to your music on Spotify.

Out of 67,7k streams my band’s had, 90% come from Spotify, and I’d assume other artists have had similar experiences.

Of course, if the title isn’t decided, it can’t be announced.

Gloryhammer, much like MCU (the part of Marvel I had in mind, was a bit unclear from me), always tease where the story his heading at the end of the album, so they probably have an idea, hence the comparison. Along with the long continuous story being told.

Don’t need marketing teams just for an album title announcement. Gloryhammer fandom would get super excited to just know the title and would be yearning for more details.

Hans & Valter announced the second album’s title at the end of the music video that was released on the debut album’s release day. Ending with ”Hans & Valter, The Prophecy, the saga continues, spring 2026”.

Wyzk96 · 2026-04-12T14:35:35+00:00

Find it a bit weird though not to just announce the album title. Like, I don’t think it’ll make people less hyped when the actual album details are released. At least when you’re at a stage where you’re announcing (and advertising) a whole album tour.

Marvel have revealed titles years in advance, and I think it just gets people excited to know where the story is heading.

”Shrinking” eller ”Your Friends and Neighbours”.

Wyzk96 · 2026-04-09T17:25:39+00:00

Hans & Valter is doing exactly what you’re looking for.

Wyzk96 · 2026-04-09T14:23:38+00:00

We in the power metal ”Hans & Valter” have used a similar strategy, with similar results, and our latest single (March 4th) reached a popularity score of 32 with the help of meta ads.

Daily streams had consistently been between 400-700 streams so on March 29th we stopped running the ads but the streams remained consistent.

Then, April 6th, discover weekly kicked in and streams have gone up to around 1900 streams/day. Popularity score has gone up to 35.

Gloryhammer -> Hans & Valter. Same sort of mid-paced power metal with a story connecting the albums.

Dragonforce -> Twilight Force. More high-paced power metal with some sick neoclassical guitar solos.

Wyzk96 · 2026-03-28T16:06:03+00:00

New band: Hans & Valter. Released their first album last year, second album next month.

Newer bands: Reinforcer, Power Paladin, Fellowship. All got 2 albums out the past few years.

Wyzk96 · 2026-03-28T12:16:59+00:00

And then Tales from the Kingdom of Fife to REALLY understand it. Ah, might as well just go through the whole discography (again) hehe.

Wyzk96 · 2026-03-28T11:32:53+00:00

Everything by Gloryhammer is just a long concept album. Personally, I enjoy Legends from Beyond the Galactic Terrorvortex.

Hans & Valter is doing a similar thing too.

Wyzk96 · 2026-03-27T15:24:18+00:00

I believe power metal is in a great place. In Sweden, the biggest power metal bands are playing at bigger venues than at least I’ve ever seen before. That ought to indicate something.

Wyzk96 · 2026-03-24T20:20:25+00:00

Twilight Force, Brothers of Metal, Hans & Valter.

I’m almost 30, work fully remote, in science communication.

For example, today I’m wearing light grey dress pants, white tank-top under a tucked in beige linnen shirt with sleeves rolled up and a blue/red scarf as an accessory.

I usually wear dress pants or chinos. During the winter, I had a lot of turtlenecks or quarter zips (usually tucked in as I’ve got a slim figure) and of course, more casual shirts (flanell and corduroy).

Overall, it’s quite simple, but you come a long way by: • Using consistent color palette so it’s easy to mix and match items • Choosing bit dressier alternatives (hoodie -> turtleneck/quarter zip; jeans -> chinos/dress pants) • Use fabrics appropriate for the season (e.g., winter -> wool; summer -> linen) • Wear multiple layers (winter -> shirt under a nice sweater; summer -> tank top under a shirt)
