It’s actually tragic, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, it’s depressing that sabaton is (arguably) the current forefront of power metal rn (arguably dragonforce) it’s actually so sad
Blind Guardian are only in their 50s. If they have to limp the genre along for another couple decades, I’m okay with that. Saw them last month and they fucking rip still
I feel like they'd be doing even better if Anton had brought Noora with him. As it stands, Battle Beast is stuck with a bunch of middling songwriters fronted by someone with amazing stage presence. Meanwhile BiB has the better songwriter, but Yannis has only slightly more stage energy than Dream Theater.
> Blind Guardian and Helloween
Respectable that the OGs still pull numbers I guess....I love PM but it's very hit or miss and the circlejerky modern scene is cringe
I used to listen to their music until I pretty much graduated middle school
I skip all their songs on my metal playlist now, it's the same damn song, now re listening to one of their albums again is like watching a mediocre elementary school play
I love history, but there's so many better songs about history from bands like Gojira, to Metallica, to Iron Maiden. I recommend you check out a band called 1914, they make some great ass songs about WWI
Edit: also check out Minenwerfer, really excellent ambient black metal band
"I love dnd" vs "I love HOI"
Go listen to some motown shit, maybe you'll learn how to talk to a woman, or at least how to whine about being left by one
At this point it feels like emulating ghost division every time, with some minor attempts at other styles
I've stopped listening to them since ~2017 and looking around now is kind of offputting, especially when looking at the videos they put out, since i'm unsure of how they even left the QC dept.
I met the Dragonforce guys and they were super chill tbh, Herman Li is a cool dude and their new singer isn't a massive bellend like the last guy. Obviously they're cheesy and a lot of their albums sound similar but they know what they're good at and I enjoy it. Not every band needs to take themselves super seriously. I mean Dragonforce released a Skyrim themed song, a cover of My heart will go on and a power metal ballad celebrating Rememberence Day on the same album. Sabaton are cool too, they're equally stupid and cheesy, their albums are equally samey and it works. Metal as a whole is usually pretty goofy let's be honest, the bands that have fun with it are always the most fun to listen to.
Typical sabaton nazi fan: *looks at his score on school history exam (15 out of 100) because there were no questions about dead men attack, bismarck and operation overlord*
Ah yes sabaton known for not having campy lyrics
I mostly know them for doing a crossover promotion with a freemium mobile game
Their lyrics are corny as hell lmao
virgin vs virgin
virgin vs vigin nazi larper
Sabaton has one song and they just say random words about war on top of it
Fun fact: the Sabaton songs Devil Dogs and Smoking Snakes are literally the same song, with different lyrics. Just listen, back to back!
Yeah I think I’ll just take your word for it.
you weren't kidding lol
The slightly less shitty band ain't sabaton tho
rip to Blind Guardian and Helloween for being included in a “big 4” that includes these two lame ass bands

My boys Beast In Black need more recognition (they are recognized but it's not enough)
Unleash the archers also need more recognition
unmetal/ I love Unleash The Archers remetal/ That's what they get for being from Canada. No band can outkvlt the absolute evil and vile RUSH!
Brittany's high notes make me feel like I'm getting my face sandblasted off in the best way possible.

Huh? Surely Rhapsody and Stratovarius are the other two, not these clowns?
I assume they're talking about the big 4 in terms of popularity
> Blind Guardian and Helloween Respectable that the OGs still pull numbers I guess....I love PM but it's very hit or miss and the circlejerky modern scene is cringe
Does Nightwish not count for some reason? They're definitely bigger than Stratovarius, Rhapsody, Dragonforce, and Blind Guardian at the very least.
what? the big 4 of power metal are blind guardian, helloween, hansi, and kürsch
Avantasia and Edguy. That way you have 4x Kürsch, 3x Kiske, and 2x Sammet.
you're so right i'm sorry
D&D basement dweller (my ass) vs. Edgy cornball
I love making memes where I am the chad and something I don't like is shown as total loser
At least Dragonforce doesn't glorify the fucking Wehrmacht.
They do glorify dragons though You know dragons that eat cattle and kidnap maidens. That's not very polite of them
I’m a history nerd and I seriously dislike Sabaton
I used to listen to their music until I pretty much graduated middle school I skip all their songs on my metal playlist now, it's the same damn song, now re listening to one of their albums again is like watching a mediocre elementary school play I love history, but there's so many better songs about history from bands like Gojira, to Metallica, to Iron Maiden.

Bolt thrower <3
I was supposed to see 1914 live, but they couldn’t leave Ukraine because you know
Wait, gojira have history inspired Songs?
I think so, Amazonia and the Chant are all I can think of though
you need some Kanonenfieber in your life
virgin larp band vs virgin larp band
"I love dnd" vs "I love HOI" Go listen to some motown shit, maybe you'll learn how to talk to a woman, or at least how to whine about being left by one
>how to whine about being left by one *Sonata Arctica intensifies*
They both fucking sucks
With the difference being that old Dragonforce was actually kinda good while Sabaton has been writing the same mediocre song for 25 years
At this point it feels like emulating ghost division every time, with some minor attempts at other styles I've stopped listening to them since ~2017 and looking around now is kind of offputting, especially when looking at the videos they put out, since i'm unsure of how they even left the QC dept.
would probably actually rather listen to dragonforce idk if this is a hot take
I think that's the general opinion of people who actually like power metal
I prefer sabaton but love DF still. I also like powerwolf and shit like that I’m gay
the only history nerds coming out of sabaton are edgy 12 year olds hyper fixating on ww2 era weapons and vehicles
Never ask a woman her age A man, his salary Dragonforce, about Stormblade by Demoniac
Funny N word song?
Both are fucking cringe
Bro left the typos in the meme
Joakim is a good singer BUT His r rolling thing is super annoying, and the lyrics he writes are super fucking corny
Fuck it, Bolt Thrower
At least Dragonforce had two banger albums before becoming shit. Sabaton was always shit, even before they started appealing to Nazi larper gamers
I like Coat Of Arms a little as I listened to it a lot in like 7th grade, just nostalgia factor
I fucking hate Sabaton fans ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
[this is what sabaton sounds like to me](https://youtu.be/ytWz0qVvBZ0?si=1BhNuTPA1s1dSvRN)
Nah diggy hole is actually a really fun song
Bruh it is better than 90% of sabaton songs
sabaton was gas when i was a nationalist
this shit is so goofy

You can say that again about not being campy
what did you just say about dragonforce 💀
Hiding in the fog, where darkness meets the moonlight 🗣️🔥🔥
Upon further investigation, I can confirm the shittier band is sabaton, I apologise for my ignorance.
Sabaton fans are the kind of history nerds who think “knowing history” is naming tanks and guns from WWII
Typical sabaton nazi fan: *looks at his score on school history exam (15 out of 100) because there were no questions about dead men attack, bismarck and operation overlord*
Overhyped band for 16y. olds vs recycling plant for 16y.o. HOI4 fans
Sabaton is metal for autistic people who fixate over history
ok band vs shitty band
Cock band vs balls band
People who love saying the N word vs People with 2000+ hours on tf2 take your pick
