I know of Dragonforce, of course, but they're a little bit too fast and loud for me. I really don't know what I'm looking for so just throw things out, please.

Need a sound track for Crusader Kings 3

No, I mean like a concept album or whatever. I don't need something mainstream. If there isn't, maybe I'll write some lyrics and you all can write the music, lol

There HAS to be something

Thanks! Starting up the Amophis one first since that got two votes. Wish I got album names, lol. I'll just play their top songs this time instead of an album

Thanks, everyone

Amophis was hit or miss with me. Some of them were pretty good and some I didn't like. I hope I can find something I'm looking for so I can better narrow it down to other things I can listen to

Thanks again, I'll have to go through this

Some CEman turned me onto Jethro Tull and now I'm a huge fan.

I highly recommend King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.

They've had a change of singers so stuff might sound different depending on how old the album is.

Here's a sample

AGAIN?! God dammit. I like some of their songs but what's the point of liking a band if their lead singer position is a constant revolving door. And for that matter WHY DOES EVERY METAL BAND WITH A FEMALE LEAD DO THIS?!

Nobody does concept albums quite like virgin steele in their prime imo, and they're all about fantasy/history/mythology

Utterly sublime ballads too, and I normally don't even dig ballads that much

If you like psych rock, check out the album Murder of the Universe by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.

It's a 3-part concept album. The first part is about man stumbling across an Altered Beast, a kind of demon monster, and wanting to become the beast himself. The second part is about a demi god battling it out with a monster he accidentally resurrected. The third part is about a cyborg wanting to die.

https://youtu.be/Rd3vwwXArMQ

Very trippy stuff, especially the third part.

Xandria's lead singer quit on her own because she said it was too stressful. It's not like they threw her out.
