Recently wanted a game with rogue-like elements, loot, shooting and minimal story. Some searching lead me to Nightmare Reaper. It was perfect, and it had a damn good soundtrack as well. More people should play this game, both for the gameplay and the music. Sure, the music works even better in context (think ripping and tearing while this blasts your eardrums), but I like it outside of the game as well:

And yes, that is Andrew Hulshult, the guy behind a lot of kick-ass soundtracks. For instance the Doom Eternal DLC soundtrack.
For old In Flames fans like me, Their new song ACTUALLY sounds like In Flames. Gave me Chills the riff really makes me think of the early 2000s era of this band.
We still going? Hell yeah. Let's toss out "Wanderlust" from Every Time I Die. ETID just had a MESSSSSY break-up, so I'm still trying not to think about it. Fans of AEW might recognize their guitarist...
@justin258 Liked that Amaranthe song with Angela quite a bit. Realized in my Youtube history that I have heard Amaranthe before. Floor Jansen I enjoyed less but she has a nice voice.
@fram Lol that was one of the first tracks I heard from Archers and the video alone was pretty amusing. I think she really nails that power metal kinda vibe
@jacksmedulla I listened to the whole 3 part Mara Effect and enjoyed it immensely. The lead singers look, at least in that video, kind of reminds me of the actor Stana Katic, probably most famous from Castle with Nathan Fillion-- which I found extra amusing. I just listened to the one song you listed from Nova Twins and the video and song were pretty cool. I'll have to check out some more.
@spacemanspiff00:Glad you enjoyed them! I'm always happy to share in the joys of Spiritbox. The Mara Effect in particular never fails to give me goosebumps, no matter how many times I've heard it.
For some added wholesome metal fun, here is 10 year-old Harper singing on stage with them, haha.
Been kinda obsessed with V-Kaos recently. Awful name aside, she was Diabolicum's keyboardist and female vocalist, as well as live guitarist for Asagraum, and her solo stuff is incredible. Just raw black metal, mostly without drums or anything else unnecessary.
I thought the crowd here might be able to appreciate a little fun fact. The first time something that can reasonably be called a death metal growl occurred in pop music, as far as I know, was when The Who did it in Boris The Spider.
saw a soundclip of this off Tiktok and haven't been able to stop listening to this HANABIE song since I heard it. Definitely worth checking out, it's fucking fun:
It's the day I've been waiting months to arrive: new Abbadon Incarnate!
Check it here! Ooohh it's good. I'll be waiting for my record to show up with bated breath.
I'm also dying for my copy of the new Ithaca that dropped last week. That's more hardcore than metal, but a high recommend as well. Check out the Bandcamp.
