Gloryhammer thread - An epic battle is fight

I find it funny that the front man for gloryhammer was a college educated lawyer
But new gloryhammer kind of sucks they don't really have the energy anymore it sounds good but it's really not the same
But it's for Thomas I think his new band's going to eventually overtake gloryhammer I'd say the first album it's not exactly there yet
And as for power metal being goofy the first big power metal Act man of war
Which they refuse to call themselves the first power metal act because according to them they are American Heavy Metal and that's different for some reason
Was insanely Goofy and took itself a bit too seriously when people said the music was a bit Goofy

Kinda shocking how fast Angus McSix blew up in parts of Europe but not really. I don't think anyone thought of Gloryhammer as anything but the Angus Mcfife band at the end of the day.

Which is funny because it's a side project for Mark Bowles and most of the other members are hired guns. I think the drummer was the only other main collaborator when he formed the band.

Sword Lord is a certified banger, and maybe my personal favorite from Gloryhammer.

I do appreciate how GLORIOUSLY stupid Angus McSixx is willing to be though. Laser Shooting Dinosaur puts a smile on my face every time I hear it.

I love power metal BECAUSE I love all the cheesy idiocy that comes with the very best of the genre.

The new lead singer's voice is just way too soft like Thomas can at least hit the high notes
It makes the band sound really a feminate and that's just not good for a power metal band

He was also involved in a cover-up one of the best man of war songs
But I'm just going to say this has way too many vocalists and too much going on the cool thing about man of' war songs is the instrumentals never overwhelmed the vocals

I actually think that's why there's so much choral work on Sword Lord. I agree that he is not as good as Tommy, but I disagree that a high, ringing voice is a bad thing for power metal.

Hammerfall has a lead singer whose vice is much more tenor than baritone, and it works for them. Dio was the founder of Power Metal, and he was 4'9" with a high, somewhat feminine voice and is still well+loved by all metal fans more than a decade after his death.

I DO love me some Manowar and Sabaton though, and I'm happy to have them in the power metal scene.
 
Looks like Thomas Winkler (former singer of Gloryhammer) stepped down from his own relatively new band Angus McSix. He's stepping down to spend time with his kid which is fine but its surprising he's stepping down so soon. Maybe he wasn't expecting another kid, or maybe its a temporary hiatus

What ever the case they got a new singer

The band made a spanish cover of He Has Returned. 10/10 shitpost
 

New song dropped. Are we still following the Angus Mcfife from The Return to the Kingdom of Fife or is this Angus Mcfife the fifth in the original dimension?
