So, some while back Cheaptoy posted a Gloryhammer video. I’m not sure if it was that one or a FMD somewhere along the way, but they’ve been on my radar since.
I find this particular power metal genre both largely ridiculous and also juuust about right kind of sound and intensity for a good workout, which is when I do most of my Pandora listening.
There’s something amusing to me about looking like I’m having a serious gym session, but the song that only I can hear includes the phrase “An army of undead unicorns/Are riding into the fray...”
YEEEEEESSSSS!
My work here is done.
I absolutely hate the keyboards in this song.
disagree. they really bring it home before that last chorus.
This has to be the theme song for an anime series, right?
One would hope, but I don't think so. They seem to have an ongoing "epic-tale" through their albums with repeated references to the same fictional realms and heroes and wizards and such.
What I can't tell is how seriously they take themselves, or if they're just having a lot of fun making silly music.
Their keyboardist (who started the band) also plays the keyboard and sings for Alestorm. They are definitely just having fun making silly music.
