  • I hadn’t run into Wildrun before. Listening to them as I type - liking it so far!

    Luca I’d call more power metal - not hearing an actual symphony in there, or at least in the couple I listened to, but it’s kinda heavy on the operatics, which I can’t stand, so I didn’t last long.

    Xanthochroid - instrumental side is great; not a fan of the vocalists.

    I’m picky as fuck when it comes to metal, and I honestly hate that about myself - it’s hard to actually enjoy a lot of what’s available. But the songs that do hit, hit fucking HARD.

    One of my absolute favorites is the instrumental version of Wheel of Time by Blind Guardian. I really wish more of these groups would make instrumental-only versions of their songs… so many will hook me with an instrumental 30 second BADASS intro, then some fucker starts dry-heaving into the microphone… it’s like you’re two bites into an AMAZING meal, and then the chef comes and pours a bag of toenail clippings onto your plate. Like, god damnit… I was enjoying that, you bastard!

    But, back to OP’s funding question - we need more variety! And better recording equipment… some of these songs sound like they were recorded on flip phone from the 90s.
