Wow, that is a deep cut. I remember playing it (I think I still have the cart) but I barely remember anything beyond enjoying it for a bit.

I am also not a fan of super growly vocals. There’s a lot of stuff I love musically but the vocals put me right off. I’d listen to bands like Opeth and Beyond the Buried and Me more often if the growls weren’t present.

If you’re looking for metal with cleaner singing, I second the suggestions for Unleash the Archers and Nightwish. I can also recommend Blind Guardian, though the singer’s voice is polarizing. One of my favorite metal singers is John Bush from Armored Saint. He also did a few albums with Anthrax in the 90s.

For instrumentals, I can’t recommend much aside from guitar virtuosos like Steve Vai. Occasionally bands will release instrumental versions of their songs as B-sides, bonus discs, etc. Might be worth checking into.

That’s a much better caption than what I came up with. 🍻

Just… lookit em go.

I’ve never been all that big on A7, but Nightwish leaned hard into theatrical/movie score territory for a few albums. Some notables:

Dark Chest of Wonders
The Poet and the Pendulum
Elan
Ghost Love Score
One more: Last Ride of the Day

what happens when they don’t deliver?

It will be the fault of The Other. The Other is evil. The Other is ruthless. The Other is mixing drag queen and trans DNA in your child’s classroom using your fine silver and selling it to power the space lasers. Lies are the gift that keeps on giving.

Not a whole lot, but it’s better than just my subbed feed. (Mostly niche interests far from any sort of critical mass.)

It had a grip?

Awesome, thanks!

On tons of block lists, probably.

Huh, I thought this form factor only came in faux wood grain.

I have my kids injected with weakened or dead pathogens.

It’s homeopathic!

Many instances have domain names that look invalid and/or like scam sites to non-techies. Dot world? Dot social? Dot [obscure country TLD]? There’s also no guarantees that the domain will indicate that it’s a Lemmy site. Both of these become problematic with sharing, as the default (? been a while since I’ve used the web interface) share function links to the poster’s instance and not the community instance. A year and a half ago, the shared links section in my messenger was mostly a Reddit flood. Today, it looks like someone spilled alphabet soup.

For seeing, duh.

Doubtful. Dude ain’t got no ups.
