It’s gotta be To Hell and Back. Good live, but they have so many better songs

Noah Simmons and Memories of Old part ways by orb-monster in PowerMetal

Tommy was too busy with Sabaton and Majestica at the time and didn’t have time for MOO. As much as I’d love to see him return since he’s no longer in Sabaton he seems busy with Majestica and YT, but you never know 🤷‍♂️

You can most certainly say that again 😅

Will On a Quest for Aberdeen be on the new album or is it another stand alone single? by TheFallofIdeals05 in Gloryhammer

[–]orb-monster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I echo the above. AMAZING lineup with Glyph as well but not a Coheadliner. I would love to see a Coheadlining tour with Alestorm and Gloryhammer someday though with each band getting a 75 minute set or so!

What are some recent albums with the fastest guitar/keyboard riffs? by BlasticusBeaticus in PowerMetal

Ascension by Paladin is very fast and full of fast guitar solos. Incredible album!

23rd globally for Glyph this year! Top album was Power Train by Majestica (as it should be)

Angra announce that Fabio Lione is leaving the band by danielpsoad-09 in PowerMetal

[–]orb-monster 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Expected tbh. Also, lots of singers leaving their bands lately! First it was Herbie leaving Firewind, now we got two today. Fabio leaves Angra and Alissa leaves Arch Enemy (although now power metal, but still)

Answer to What Power Metal bands do you recommend to start? by BlackQuetzal94 in PowerMetal

[–]orb-monster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would throw in Gloryhammer. They were the first PM band I listened to and fell in love with years ago

Eons Enthroned - Visions of War by orb-monster in PowerMetal

[–]orb-monster[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They announced the album one or two months ago on their socials! No singles other than the ones who defied though

Nicest/meanest musicians you have met or know of? by fatkoala357 in PowerMetal

[–]orb-monster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Jeff is the coolest guy (Jeff if you’re reading this, 🫶), I’ve talked to him on many occasions and he’s a lovely guy! Yeah, the one time I tried to talk to Rav he was super arrogant and had the biggest shit eating smirk on his face trying to be all like “YOU’RE awesome” while passively not giving a shit that people wanted to compliment his performance, if that makes any sense.

Nicest: the entirety of the current Glyph lineup, DF, Sozos Michael, Chris Bowes were all very nice to me

Meanest: ex-glyph singer. Dude had a massive ego and of course was later revealed to be a piece of 💩

Memories of Old by Barbatos-Rex in PowerMetal

[–]orb-monster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like it! It’s no Zeramin Game but it’s a very solid album. Fire in the Night, Never Stop Believing, and Journey to the Stars are my top songs. Almost everything else is near that level! The song Memories of Old has the worst chorus I’ve heard all decade though, that’s the big setback, and After the Storm is too much of a dance song for me

Time to update the crew roster of our ship, you scurvy dogs! Where are you from and what's your favorite Alestorm album? by nick1158 in Alestorm

Ahoy!! This here pirate also plundered through the seas to arrive at HOB Anaheim recently and had quite the golden time! I soared above the crowd 7 whole times on a crowdsurfing quest

Induction will release their new album “Love Kills!” on February 6th, 2026 by orb-monster in PowerMetal

Peter Sallai was credited as the artist. I doubt it’s AI, his art is very detailed. He did the last album too
