I submit for consideration:

Next version of the thread be more inclusive 'Metal/Punk/Hard Rock' both since generally we seem to like that stuff, as well as it would increase readership and post volume. Aye/Nay?

Make it radically less inclusive. NSBM and hatecore only.

If I ever do that you know the goal is just to get the Nazis all in one place before liquidating them.

It's ok. The vocals belong in a punk song and don't fit at all. The guitar and drums are kinda good though. Other than vocals its good enough for radio.

Mmm. Neonazi smoothie. Watch out for little moustache hairs, messes with the texture.

I guess it was just time for Sabaton to release their "Bad Album"; that one album every band/artist has that just isn't great. It was inevitable, I suppose, but it still hurts having been so hyped up only to be let down. Usually a Sabaton album consists of half it's songs being great and the other half being good. The Great War was more like three great and the rest "meh". Very disappointing.

Still, I'm fairly confident it's just a fluke. The fact that those three great songs + Bismarck exist proves it isn't a weak album because the band ran out of juice so it's clearly something else at play. Maybe the subject matter? WWI is pretty boring; especially the Western Front, which is what most of the album focuses on.

Hopefully their next album is infinitely better.

All your metal genres are inferior to my favorite one

Behold, Soul metal! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JR3uz8rq4ng

Holy shit that was awesome. I totally want soul metal to be a thing.

I don't think the subject matter is to blame here. WW1 is definitely not a boring subject and there is plenty of material for songs. I think the problem is that Sabaton really did nothing new with this album and played it pretty safe. While I think the songs were fine they were kinda generic and thus kinda meh.



Also I have really been enjoying the band Serenity lately. Anyone know some good bands similar to them?

Perhaps try Zeal & Ardor.

While not exactly what I was looking for their songs are pretty enjoyable. Thanks for the recommendation.

I don't think it's the subject matter. One of my favorite Sabaton songs is The Price of a Mile which is about WW1. The Cliffs of Gallipolli is great as well. If you changed the lyrics but kept the music and renamed the album to WW2, it would still be just as bad.

Another act that might be up your alley, even though it is more in the post-rock direction, is TV On The Radio.

Zeal and Ardor is the best project I've heard in more than a decade.

Rise is Pantera's best song and I'm not just saying this because my hands are covered in demon guts.

Domination or gtfo

5 Minutes Alone or seriously question your life's choices. Also consider Therapy?'s Vulgar Display Of Powder, a song about the hollow shell of a person Phil Anselmo has become over the years.

Maybe it's just me but I find WWI to be rather boring.

The Price of a Mile is okay, but IMO there were several songs on that album that were infinitely better. Cliffs of Gallipolli was also pretty good, but again not one of my favorites.

But yeah, I guess the subject matter doesn't matter that much

Domination isn't even the best song on the album!

[Galborea]

Best Pantera songs are the two parts of Suicide Note.

Can't be the subject matter. The last three albums of God Dethroned are about World War One, and those are pretty great.

Not to forget Bolt Thrower's Those Once Loyal, which is one of the best death metal albums ever.

I like Therapy? and I like diss tracks, I'll give this a listen.

You know, after the Dimebash incident Phil has kind of got his act back together. He's more chill now, stopped drinking entirely and has a cool new band that does post-punk/goth country.

He also magically stopped being a neonazi fuckwad?

I legitimately think he was just being a douchebag with that.
