D&D Metal

[the Jester]

As a huge metal fan, I can't say I support creating even more pretentious and confusing subgenres.

I'm not advocating creating one; I'm advocating recognizing one that already exists.

Nope, there are [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0zDXlrJK0I"]only six genres of metal[/ame]

 

[Peraion Graufalke]

Running Wild for adventure on the high seas.
Cradle of Filth (Cruelty and the Beast, Midian) for horror campaigns.
In Extremo (Weckt die Toten, Verehrt und Angespien) for standard fantasy.
Bathory (Twilight of the Gods) for Viking-themed campaigns.

But nothing beats Blind Guardian IMO

 

[Wootz]

Kamelot-March of Mephisto

Symphony X-Set the World on Fire

Two bands I like that remind me of D&D

 

[AntiStateQuixote]

This thread is full of awesome.

My Rhapsody account is going to get hammered today, and I'm going to create a new user channel from the bands listed here.

Thanks!

Brent (old fart that doesn't know this new-fangled D&D metal)

Does Finntroll count?
Black Metal + Polka + Troll themed lyrics?

I'm a big fan of Therion. Listen to them a lot when I write. Also been listening to Priest's new one, Nostradamus, which I consider to be a great album, although others may not share that opinion.

Reposted from a different thread, where I posted it in complete irrelevence:

I just made a quicklist in Youtube of stuff recommended in this thread, and random things with interesting names that I'm not familiar with that were linked from them.

Added 14 songs by groups named in the thread, plus one or two others (I especially like the name Arch Enemy for a band...)

 

[Lanefan]

A couple I haven't seen mentioned yet:

Thor
Omen

Some grand D+D-themed tunes from those two.

Just wanted to put a plug in for Rush!

Songs: Witch Hunt, The Fear Series, The Necromancer, Rivendell, Bytor & The Snowdog
