Big fan of instrumental and orchestral versions of songs from Sabaton and Powerwolf at the moment.

For example:

That's awesome, but also really throws me off, when the vocals don't come in. I'm all ready for the high energy vocals, and then they don't show up.

True but the lyrics are often kinda cringe, yet the music is awesome. So this is the best of both :D

Lastly, I grabbed Immortal - At The Heart of Winter for 50 cents at a flea market; a bit blind, but I knew it was black metal due to the picture of the band on the back of the album cover. Turns out its a damn good record; almost thrashy, even.

It's probably their overall best record by a solid distance IMO and indeed they are now known more as a black-thrash band due to what they've been since the ATHOW era. They transitioned to a 2-piece (lost the long-term guitarist to an elbow injury) and went to Tagtren's Abyss studios for this album, and generally were at the peak of their inventiveness like a lot of bands of this era and cluster of metal, again IMO. Every track is a minor masterpiece, I have a ton of gnostalgia wrapped up in that album.

Speaking of black-thrash, I'm still listening to to the 2021 self-titled from the reincarnated Absu aka Proscriptor McGovern's Apsu which I waxed slightly over-earnestly about in this thread. Went and double-dipped on a picturedisc purchase despite it being my only ever vinyl buy and having no way to spin that copy atm. I wouldn't call them black-thrash any more - a lot of death influence has crept in, so they're like a progressive black-thrash-death extreme metal multitool now - but they were the undisputed kings of black-thrash for their albums spanning 1995-2001. Anyway the new one has been carrying me all year - great shit and you might like it, since although it could never be considered mathcore or whatever, it has some of the angular, challenging experimental elements which I identify as similar to some of the bands you listed.

Last album I went out of my way to listen to was Rotten Apples by Smashing Pumpkins. Mix album I know, but that was a go to album for high school road trips with friends. Drudged up some good memories of that last summer together before we all went off to our respective colleges and started to lose touch.

Big fan of Pogo :

It's hard to place in a genre but it's mostly instrumental/dance/pseudo-electronica.

YellowFlash's weekly livestream can't start without following every toast with a song.

Pogo was almost cancelled a few years back too, for saying something that angered the alphabet mafia.

The Top Gun theme has been playing in my head for the past hour. Before that, it was Basket Case for an entire week. Somebody help me!

I come back every now and again to the cheesy fun that is Gloryhammer.

And I still love Rylanor's Last Stand. Musically it's a bit off in places, but the story it puts to song is awesome.

Fuck yeah! Too bad Chris Bowes got fed up with both Gloryhammer and Alestorm.

And now that Thomas Winkler is out of the band it's over for me. I didn't like that new short singer. I'm pretty sure Chris just hired him because he's about his height.

All this because Chris thought he was gonna hit big with Wizardthrone, his new "mathematical/intergalactic/space wizard metal (or whatever you may call that sub niche).

cooler version

(don't undo the time skip he's being a cringe nerd in the first 15 seconds)

Gonna be honest though people just liked that one because of the delay and it being reminiscent of the Mortal Kombat theme, most of his originals are better than it. Dude's got like 10 albums now.

IMHO his other stuff is too slow and one-dimensional, for my taste. There were only a few that stood out like that one.

Dayum, son. I prefer lyrics, personally, but that doesn't stop me from respecting the heck out of that guitar work, holy shit. Dude's got serious skills.

Thanks for sharing, I dig it!

...Anime, TV, movies, games.

"Music" in its modern mass-consumed form is pretty trash, but when the music actually matters is ironically when it is not the main point. The "main point" music makes for bland, samey, easily-consumable blah that carefully avoids inspiring any emotions in you to make for simple listening, so you don't STOP listening.

But music from other media requires itself to invoke emotion in you. And, of course, brings back memories of the media it is from. But if I'm listening to music, I'd rather feel angry, pumped, fearful, or even depressed, than feel nothing at all.

Just been down a Bind Owl (Alan Wilson) rabbit hole. He's the tragic member of Canned Heat. Big blues historian and fantastic harp player, but a bit "spergy" as the fashion has it.

Listening to the Canned Heat catalog up to 1970, when Blind Owl died of an overdose of Reds in Bob Hite's backyard. Read an excellent biography of Blind Owl last week: https://www.amazon.com/Blind-Owl-Blues-Mysterious-Legend/dp/0615792987. There's also an anthology of his Canned Heat tracks with a nice intro by their drummer Fito de La Parra: https://www.amazon.com/Blind-Owl-Alan-Wilson/dp/B00B2MAAM8/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2726NG1L83OTK&keywords=the+blind+owl&qid=1660922599&s=music&sprefix=the+blind+owl%2Cpopular%2C472&sr=1-1

Looking at these comments really dates me.
