Power Metal:
Powerwolf
Gloryhammer
Alestorm
Sabaton
Windrose
Pagan music:
Emerald Rose
Tyr
And then sea shanties, folk music, Irish (rebel and otherwise), labor/protest music, and the occasional bouts of pure randomness.
Right now I cannot get enough of Miracle of Sound. Dude just checks every box there is for me. It's like if every other kind of music I listen to got gene-spliced into one guy.
In no particular order other stuff:
Blackmore's Night
Clamavi de Profundis
Omnia
Faun
Gloryhammer!
dundun DOUBLE dundun WIZARD
Sad for all the drama though but now we have two "gloryhammer" with Angus McSix.
I entirely missed this. What happened?
Oh damn. Quick recap:
The band fired Thomas Winkler (lead singer) aka Angus. No reason was given but his poor live performance after the pandemic was rumored.
Then some old chat was leaked that put to light that James (bassist aka hootsman) and Chris (song writer / former keyboardist aka Zargotrax) were racist/mysoginic trying to take advantage of their status to fuck fans.
Then some allegation of abuse against James were made.
At the end of it all Christ wrote a PR excuse letter. Gloryhammer got a new lead singer (Sozos Michael). Thomas went on his way to make a new band (Angus McSix).
So we got two album this year with gloryhammer style.

Goddamn. I thought people saying "Angus McSix" were making some kind of joke about whoever replaced Thomas.
Sucks that his bandmates turned out to be that kind of people, but I'll definitely look into his new project.
Thanks for the recap!
Just be careful there is two song order. The one of the track listing (the bad one) and the lore one (the good one).
For whatever reason they decided not to put the song in the lore order so the story makes no sense if you listen to the album in the track listening order.
That's fuckin' ridiculous.
I have the exact same list for power metal lol, only thing I'd add is twilight force.
I also like chiptune stuff, a great artist that kinda crosses over chiptune and metal is rainbowdragoneyes, he has done remixes of gloryhammer and alestorm, and has a whole EP of remixed and OC pirate metal chiptune.
I swear I've heard of twilight force but for the life of me I can't remember what they sound like. I'll have to look them up and get reacquainted.
Some of their more prominent characteristics are high, soaring vocals, kinda constantly epic sounding, and pretty cheesy (which is a good thing)
I like them a lot
So a little bit Falconer, a little bit DragonForce?
