Collecting souls for Marduk;

Marduk - music for the whole CFC family (stolen & slightly changed from YT).
I like Nightwing

 

[Kyriakos]

Not that I like them - and I am not sure if they are metal either.
The instrumental part might be doom metal or something of that kind - the singer's voice... not at all.

 

[Fippy]

It's something different..and the instruments of metal are all there i think

I like to think of Ghost as an act. Not to be taken seriously. Vocals kinda weak as @Kyriakos said but still good enough for what they are. I enjoy a lot of their songs. Musical style is almost impossible to pin down unlike many other bands. Posted this one in the other thread;

I always liked Tokyo Tales from Blind Guardian, imo one of the best live albums.

Hammerfall..one of the original power metal bands.
One of their best imo:

..and i wasn't aware they had a new album
Didn't listen yet but will later.

I find HammerFall's more recent stuff a bit boring. I know bands often get stick for changing their sound, but I actually feel they would benefit from doing so at least a bit, as what they're putting out now is basically the same as they've always done, but not as good as it used to be. Their first 4-5 albums are great though.

On the subject of early power metal:

 

[Kyriakos]

I can't take metal very seriously, particularly when it goes for a dark mood - because then it gets compared to composers like Chopin, Prokofiev etc, who live a few thousand levels above

Metal should be over the top and fun

 

[Fippy]

There's something for any mood
Plenty good ballads to be found as well..like this one.
