POSITIVE metal! =)

[Qoppa]

Korpiklaani

 

[Winter.]

Ensiferum is catchy and the rhythm is upbeat in most songs I've heard.

And I agree with Ozzman on Sonata Arctica if you ignore the lyrics

 

[Matt]

Stratovarious and SA are both terrible, completely generic bands. And I can't give a rec because I don't listen to music that way

 

[CF87]

P.O Fuckin'. D!

 

[Alteredmindeath]

positive metal=pussy metal.

 

[ErikSL]

If you can get into, the later Vintersorg albums are quite positive, as the lyrical content is about nature, physics, psychology, and the cosmos. Plus the chorus melodies are very uplifting, but somehow staying incredibly brutal and aggressive through mr. v's growling on the verse parts.

Thanks for all the recs, I am off to check them out!

Burzum

Burzum is depressive and not positive metal.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

Burzum is depressive and not positive metal.

[Death Animal]

Accept-Metal heart

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Lost Horizon

 

[mutantllama]

Manowar defiantly.

 

[Einherjar86]

Rhapsody too, I guess.

Well, Rhapsody "of Fire" now. They'll always be Rhapsody to me though.

 

[The Ozzman]

Manowar defiantly.

Defiantly, eh?

 

[Belligerent]

If you want to hear some of the most catchy and upbeat melodies ever, check out Equilibrium. Their new album Sagas was just released, and it's fucking gloriously epic as hell.


Turisas (check out the song "To Holmgard and Beyond" on youtube)

I second these along with Ensiferum.
Evergrey - Recreation Day is uplifting.


btw Einherjar did you hear the ZZ Top riff on track 6 on the new Equilibrium?

 

[Einherjar86]

Defiantly, eh?

I was going to say this same thing (exactly, actually) but I've already done it when he wrote "defiantly" a different time. You should get that checked out mutantllama, I think you have some latent rebellious tendencies.

 

[Einherjar86]

btw Einherjar did you hear the ZZ Top riff on track 6 on the new Equilibrium?

No! To be honest, I never listened to much ZZ Top. That's awesome though. What riff did they use?

 

[The Ozzman]

Which ZZ Top riff?

 

[Belligerent]

Fast forward to 3:26 on the track Snuffel. They use the notorious "La Grange" riff. Not sure why tho'
