I think I like metal now... I mean, soft metal... but I keep listening to all these Electric Callboy songs. I prefer the non-screaming bits, but appreciate value the screaming gives to the overall experience.
I like all sorts of metal, my favourite being Power Metal. Blind Guardian is great, and Battle Beast has an amazing female singer who is just an absolute boss. Blind Guardian doesn't really do screamo, but Battle Beast has a raspy voice.
Silverstein is also good, not power metal, but half normal singing and half screamo mostly.
I'll give Electric Callboy a go, I haven't heard of them!
Edit: I also unironically adore Dragonforce. Amaranthe and Dynazty are great too!
Did you go see Blind Guardian a few months back? They were awesome, as ever, and have such great fans ๐
I didn't, devo about that. Too expensive for me to justify when I'm jobless hahah. Next time (I hope!)
Literally in my top 5 favourite bands, always one I go back to when bored with other metal bands. Battle Beast is close, but given I haven't read Berserk, most of their references go over my head. Blind Guardian are my exact type of nerdy lol
Yeah, fair enough, international acts aren't cheap! And yes, my kinda nerdy too. Haven't heard Battle Beast, I'll give em a spin, despite also not knowing Berserk.
