      Same, I have a playlist full of songs from games that I’ve played like Nier automata and Undertale. Used to think people who liked video game music were cringey until I started playing video games myself and found the songs very catchy

        The Nier automata soundtrack is on another level. What a collection of absolute masterpieces.

        Weight of the world still brings a tear to my eye.

          To me, it’s both Weight of the world and Song of the Ancients that makes me teary eyed.

      The soundtracks for almost any of the Guilty Gear games are just pure energy and fun and I totally recommend them

    When I was a pre-teen and teenager, pop-punk and emo were popular.

    Turns out I haven’t outgrown this genre. I now listen to more music from a variety of different genres and time periods, but ultimately, 80% of my library is still early 2000’s pop punk.

        I just discovered them recently on a spotify suggestion. So glad. Sometimes things just work out. It’s a numbers game. I’ve probably turned away 95% of what spotify recommends. I’ve had premium for a decade and the discover weekly playlist is still hit or miss. Sometimes I see a pattern, like every other week there may be a good song.

      Dang I only really recognize Sleep Token, Soen, and Persefone from this list. All S-tier bands, I’ll have to check out the rest.

          I meant S-tier as in ranking. If you look at tier lists on the internet, they will often rank things using letters. I was basically just saying that I consider them to be bands of the highest tier, I’ve attached a link to show you what I mean.

      The PetroDragronic Apocalypse is one of the best records I’ve heard in some time, from any band, in any genre.

      I can’t stop listening to it. To add, I’m not really a fan of any of their other records. They’re clearly good, just doesn’t resonate with me as much as this one does.

    I’d say I used to listen to metal, but nowadays, I still listen to metal lol. Huge fan of Progressive Metal/Djent/Thall bands. Not much into Deathcore/Doom Metal lately however.

    At work tho, I tend to listen to a lot of instrumental stuff and genres vary greatly: mathrock, jazz, electronic, game/movie OSTs, blues, fusion, and among others.

    During drives, mainly depends on the mood, but mostly revolves around the above given genres.

    To name a few artists, I usually listen to the below (in random order):

    • Jakub Zytecki
    • Chon
    • Plini
    • Periphery
    • Necrophagist (when r u guys coming back 😔)
    • Dirty Loops
    • Up Dharma Down
    • Joji
    • Tycho
    • Sleep Token
    • Lorna Shore
    • Tom Misch

    Would love to share some more, but these are what I thought of at the moment.

    Power Metal:
    Powerwolf
    Gloryhammer
    Alestorm
    Sabaton
    Windrose

    Pagan music:
    Emerald Rose
    Tyr

    And then sea shanties, folk music, Irish (rebel and otherwise), labor/protest music, and the occasional bouts of pure randomness.

    Right now I cannot get enough of Miracle of Sound. Dude just checks every box there is for me. It’s like if every other kind of music I listen to got gene-spliced into one guy.

    In no particular order other stuff:
    Blackmore’s Night
    Clamavi de Profundis
    Omnia
    Faun

          Oh damn. Quick recap:

          The band fired Thomas Winkler (lead singer) aka Angus. No reason was given but his poor live performance after the pandemic was rumored.

          Then some old chat was leaked that put to light that James (bassist aka hootsman) and Chris (song writer / former keyboardist aka Zargotrax) were racist/mysoginic trying to take advantage of their status to fuck fans.

          Then some allegation of abuse against James were made.

          At the end of it all Christ wrote a PR excuse letter. Gloryhammer got a new lead singer (Sozos Michael). Thomas went on his way to make a new band (Angus McSix).

          So we got two album this year with gloryhammer style.

            Goddamn. I thought people saying “Angus McSix” were making some kind of joke about whoever replaced Thomas.

            Sucks that his bandmates turned out to be that kind of people, but I’ll definitely look into his new project.

            Thanks for the recap!

              Just be careful there is two song order. The one of the track listing (the bad one) and the lore one (the good one).

              For whatever reason they decided not to put the song in the lore order so the story makes no sense if you listen to the album in the track listening order.

      I have the exact same list for power metal lol, only thing I’d add is twilight force.

      I also like chiptune stuff, a great artist that kinda crosses over chiptune and metal is rainbowdragoneyes, he has done remixes of gloryhammer and alestorm, and has a whole EP of remixed and OC pirate metal chiptune.

        I swear I’ve heard of twilight force but for the life of me I can’t remember what they sound like. I’ll have to look them up and get reacquainted.

          Some of their more prominent characteristics are high, soaring vocals, kinda constantly epic sounding, and pretty cheesy (which is a good thing)

          I like them a lot

    I still most often listen to Grunge and 90 Hard and Alt rock. According to tidal Pearl Jam is a little more than half of all my song listens every month.

    Side note, I think the collective noun for Lemmy users in any music thread should be Motorheads.

      I used to hate grunge and especially Pearl Jam as a kid, but the genre’s grown on me a lot the last couple years

    Gonna use this post as a chance to give a shout out to Electric Callboy which I recently gave a chance to after they kept popping up in my recommendations, they’re some sort of trance metalcore band, and boy do they have fun songs.
