I don't like metal. But if it rips portals open, I'll start listening anyway.

I thought I didn't like metal. A 91 year old Christopher Lee made me reevaluate that stance

I can actually understand him singing it

what you want to listen to is called power metal. they have amazing vocals and epic riffs evoking heroism and glory.

if you're interested in a journey, try Iced Earth - Dante's Inferno. it's like 9 songs in one. you can tell what it's about from the title.

I feel like Redeemer of Souls by Judas Priest is a pretty epic album and well worth a listen

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I like judas priest but they aren't exactly known for clean vocals. I'd recommend anything Dio instead for that particular aspect.

Except for the growls during Halls of Valhalla, I felt like I could understand Redeemer of Souls far better than any of their previous albums. They certainly aren't Dio clean...

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

yeah I'm not super versed in judas priest so I may be wrong, I just mostly know them for scream vocals (still super easy to understand tbf but screams nonetheless). iced earth has that too but in more specific parts; it's rarely prominent in songs.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll give it a listen.

Do they have to be ripped? Can metal not simply caress them open?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You can't caress demons out of the void!

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

Well not with that attitude

Slaanesh disagrees.
