From me. I'm a sucker for a great memorable intro. Now, imagine starting the first song on your debut album like this:

 

okay damn, now I gotta listen to the whole album

And all of a sudden, it's a week for utterly silly, deliberate p155-takes in power metal: 

 

 

 

And what cracked me up the most was spotting the product placement for Trooper beer in the 2nd video.  (Apparently, the 1st band didn't even bother to do a deal with White Claw, even though that's what the song is about.)

nanowar of steel is hilarious and talented. "Norwegian Reggaton" by them is a classic

Just finishing up listening to Disturbed's latest.  Good lord, they're back on top form.  Need to pick a song to include in my radio show, but any of the songs I haven't already played when they were released as singles would be a more than worthy contender so I'm spoilt for choice.  Nice problem to have.

Here's a new single by Babymetal @Black Tourmaline @FJO8

 

 

This one is more to my liking. I didn't know their first lead singer died, so I'm sorry if the feedback was insensitive.

I feel like there is a lot of hidden meaning there, like historical references

yes i heard that. i like the atmosphere so far with these new tracks but no hooks at all ever to be found. very ambient. whatever, it's fine i guess.

That's very metal, I guess.

New Metallica single

And it is f**king awesome \m/  Now pondering whether I should go see them again, even though last time they toured, the ticket prices were loopy (which is why I didn't go to their last tour), so I suspect one look at them will put me off again. 

 

Also re this week's new releases, Dragonforce sound more mature than I would ever have expected on their new single.

Architects also dropped a new album, a great satire (as to be expected)

@aafire I've only listened to Opeth a few times. This song shows that I should do some more digging.

@Zhorin absolutely agree!

@Piotrek Opeth is one of my favorite metal acts. Such a wide range of styles, each album is a different experience. Blackwater Park is their magnum opus in my opinion, and best enjoyed all in one sitting if possible.

@aafire Thanks! I'll check them out in a more systematic way then :)

 

Meanwhile, I really like Therion's "Secret of the Runes" album. I had it on a cassette, which I then had transferred onto a CD (the shop that did it misspelled the title as "Secret of the Ruins" :D ). Heard some of the songs live too :)
