Battle metal

[doc_backmask]

For some strange reason, I've really been feeling into this "genre" lately. So far, I've generated an enthusiasm for these bands. Feel free to post the ones you enjoy (or flame me for some lame taste in metal ).

Alestorm
Amon Amarth
Turisas
Moonsorrow

Waiting on more Alestorm clips.

Amon Amarth kicks ass.

Never heard of Turisas.

Turisas is some great Scandanavian metal. Just remembered Finntroll and Korpiklaani (spelling???)

I need something to make up for the 'Disney Metal' moments of the new Nightwish, Amon Amarth very well could be the key.

Yeah, AA rule. Was listening to Versus the World yesterday, and then watched a few clips from their massive Wrath of the Norsemen DVD.

Wow, these guys have a very dark sound, too. Ruling. Very interesting vocal work on Kivenkantaja.

Enslaved

Oh yeah, forgot about a few of those. I find Enslaved and Wintersun to be good for those times when I'm stuck in noncreative moods. I've been hearing a lot about Falkenbach, too. Guess I'll have to check out this list

 

[sorceron]

Listen to Bathory albums: Blood Fire Death, Hammerheart, Twilight Of The Gods.

did you check out Verisakeet yet?

This album is awesome, infact just about every Moonsorrow album is good. Their new ep "Firestorm" is supposed to come out in March.

A little late to this thread, at least to post in it. I've been into Amon Amarth for a few years, but wow, these other bands are aweosme!!

Totally digging Alestorm and Moonsorrow right now. Thanks!!

You call those bands Battle Metal? wtf.

 

[Alteredmindeath]

sure, why not....call it what you want.

 

[Chairman Kaga]

Yeah but they were already classified as something else.

 

[Jeff-Loomis-fan]

hmm i shall never forget Turisas since they stood on stage naked when i saw them...damn...

not really into the music tough but when enough beer it sure is fun

 

[doc_backmask]

Yeah but they were already classified as something else.

True, however, I categorize them all under the very broad umbrella term of "battle metal". These bands have a few things in common with each other and that was what I was trying to highlight. They each express themes of movement and conquest.

 

[JBroll]

I'd like to see the concept album about Rommel, personally.

Ya'll should check out suidakra http://www.myspace.com/suidakra
They really are an awesome highly underrated band in this genre. I especially recommend checking out the aptly title Wartunes on their myspace.
