The title says it all really - rock classic pop hiphop orchestral solo whatever it is lets share what we are all listening too

Five Finger Death Punches new album F8. Absolutely loving it.

through the rusnet I landed on this

I think we need some more metal to get this really going

Listening to some Days and Daze today.

XTC, Statue of Liberty, hoping my trip to New York will still go ahead,

My goodness. I recall hearing “The Story Ain’t Over,” a while ago, and have been meaning to give this band more of a test-run.

I think this should be appropriate for a Warhammer forum.

Buried a dear friend yesterday, this song somehow feels right, rest easy brother. Il see you on the far side

Sorry for your loss. Take care over there.

Thanks, not sure how I am going to deal with not having him around. been too many funerals these past years

At this very second in fact

Messer Chups.

Anything and everything by them. Because it’s very hard to go wrong with Surf Rock.

Wow...ok so i am mostly a metalhead with a huge collection of rock/metal (literally over 1K physical albums) that run the gambit from power metal to gothic to folk and even come black metal from around the world, plus my rather sizable soundtrack collection (mostly anime). as such i rotate through the CDs in alphabetical order by type so i don't miss anything.

These are most of my favorite bands in my collection-

Currently i am in the G/H section of japanese bands so i just finished off gogo 7188! and hard gear. working on a band i saw live in tokyo called headphones president.

Courtesy of Youtube's rando recommendo thingy, got these a few weeks ago but still immensely enjoying them:

A conference call!

Cheeky, I know!

Japanese Popstars (They're Irish, obviously)

Beast in Black





With the revelation that its not a duet singing the song!

I do love me some Beast in Black, the singer has a fantastic voice.

Currently listening to Automatic by VNV Nation

Happy times

Shucks, good to see the Hu are getting more attention these days. Bridear too! I saw their numbers on Spotify not too long ago, and thought they were having some difficulty getting off the ground.
Seeing Freedom Call there surprised me. I love their stuff too, but couldn’t figure out what the appeal would be to others.

Thanks for sharing the list too! May check some of these out sometime today.

Don’t suppose you’ve heard of Lovebites, have you? It’s another Japanese power metal band that does their songs in glorious Engrish.

Nope not love bites but i have heard metal lucifer IIRC they do their songs in english. both seikima II and show-ya have done some songs/mini albums in english . most of the brillaint greens first album is in english. this is the final track live-




this is one of my favorites from tommys solo work away from the brilliant green over a decade later-





there are so many japanese metal bands i have heard over the years that were good but not favorites vigilante, anthem, loudness (of course), fate gear etc...with the size of my collection i need to be pretty picky. i have a smattering of other bands that i never really got into where i picked up an album to try out, some quite popular-stratovarius, falconer, jagdpanzer, leaves eyes, wizard, gamma ray, imagika, torture, lullacry, ashland, tvangeste, nevermore, vision divine etc.... when i do find something that clicks i usually end up buying the entire back catalog like i did with powerwolf, sabaton, van canto, celtica and testament.


Then there are a few one shot wonders that were fantastic but nothing ever came of them like hellmasters, phantom blue (built to perform album was amazing), and victimizer

freedom call is often called the happiest band in metal. something about the vibe is very positive and the musicianship is top notch.


I forgot to add fatima hill to my list...need to fix that.

I'll leave you with something a bit heavier-

Loving these guys, hoping their album comes along soon

Often wish she'd go back and do some more works like her earlier Celts album.

Bump

Into the Ms for my japanese bands

currently playing manipulated slaves-excellent thrash band

Almost forgot about this one. Probably seen the video a good 20 times now.

LOL thats epic.


Odin the allfurniture lord if IKEA.


A bit of fun it's pure midevil style folk- the great german group FAUN

I have moved on into the Os i will be with the fantastic
ONMYO-ZA for a while since i have 10+ albums


Hard to believe i started listening to them back in 2000 or so when they were still on an indie label and hard to find outside japan(indie labels used to not ship outside japan). i found them by accident and i am glad i did. got most of their early stuff from an indie store in shinjuku when i went to japan some 20 years ago.....man how time flies

This is on their official channel. lots of great videos
