Thats why so many of us love power metal. The songs sound like the artists sound like they had as much fun making these songs as we do listening to them. Gotta love that fun energy and passion.
"Peacekeepers, Keepers of Peace". Ah yes, the floor is made out of floor 10/10 such beautiful and magnificent song writing, truly touched my inner soul with its complex layered lyrics.
I get a kick out of the fact that the one band, Victorious, used bits of the Jurassic Park theme & the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers theme in different songs from a theme album about robot dinosaurs fighting aliens. Lol
@@bololander How many of their songs have you actually listened to? I know most of these bands, and I cannot fathom how you don't think they are cheesier than Sabaton. The song titles alone are often dead giveaways.

@@Metal_junk With some of them I agree. Van Canto and Wind Rose especially seem to take themselves (too) seriously. There's no way a band called Nekrogoblikon or a band singing about Harambe isn't just taking the piss though. x')
@@enjoythestruggle and yet, they put out amazing stuff. Wind Rose especially. I saw them live a couple weeks ago, and I never got the impression that they take themselves too seriously. They just seemed happy to be in the US for the first time, and playing good music.

Yup. This is why I like power metal! Time to crank up Gloryhammer's new album. It's full of so much epic cheesiness it's like a nuclear-powered fondu fountain. Also, props for including Helion Prime, considering their 2nd lead singer was Sozos Michael, who is NOW Gloryhammer's lead singer. Although, Helion Prime is super nerdy, they mostly play it straight with hard science and sci-fi. I mean Apollo is literally about the Apollo moon landing. But also, including anything by Chris Bowes (Gloryhammer and Alestorm) and Nanowar of Steel is like cheat mode for videos like this.
Chris Bowes is responsible for 17.021% of these lyrics. That is less than I thought it would be. Edit: If you exclude the cover of the space balls theme, then its more like 17.391%
Ok so I had no idea what this genre of metal was called, even though it's my absolute favorite! Thanks for posting this and (properly) introducing me to Power Metal! And this was said earlier, but anything from Christopher Bowes and Crew is going to be a fucking banger
Gloryhammer brainstorms lyrics and then cranks it all up to 11 to go as silly and absurd as they can with it. I really appreciate they lean as far as possible into it, makes it feel like the final boss of power metal. I've also found like 10 fantastic songs from this, love the genre, it's nice to have fun for a change.
Has clip of cheesy power metal including powerwolf. Doesn't include Coleus Sanctus(literally holy balls/testicles). I didn't know of some of these, thanks for adding to my playlists.
you could've saved yourself some trouble and just put up a sign that said "anything from Alestorm and/or Gloryhammer." - as they are both the brain child of the same guy. There's even a line in one of the longer songs by Gloryhammer, where it's in Latin and translates to something like "Pointless Latin Chanting" or something... sure they're cheesey. but that's legit why we most of us like them. and the guys who said Wind Rose takes themself too seriously... they legitimately made a rendition of the song "Diggy Hole" and then one upped themselves by making a 'club version' of it.... like.. no. Some of the material is serious, like most of Sabaton's stuff is serious. but they themselves are not. Joakim does guest stars with bands like Nanowar of Steel (also NoS is so cheesey it'd kill a person who's lactose intolerant) - as well as he did a song with both BabyMetal and Grailknights.... where he played a robot version of himself... The Nanowar of steel song he was in was legit a parody of Sabaton songs in general, "Pasadena 1994" ... I honestly... TLDR: Just face it. Power metal should just be renamed Cheese Metal. Embrace the cheese. Love the cheese. BE. The cheese!
"Robots! Servants of steel Their lasers so real you shall feel Wizard! Frozen in tomb His nuclear clone made Dundee go kaboom" hardest verses in Gloryhammer history
Watched both of your "corny power metal lyrics" and have enjoyed them and discovered so much. Thank you for that. I am surprised there hasn't been any Kamelot, Edguy or Avantasia so far - Kamelot's "Epica" and "The Black Halo" albums can definitely provide something corny, Edguy have done some intentionally unserious songs ("Lavatory Love Machine", "Robin Hood") and Avantasia probably has something as well I think though that including Ignea here is a very bad timing, let alone a bad idea. They released the song after Russia's war on Ukraine had already started (in 2014) and was a rightful "fuck you" to those who have been invading their land and killing innocent people. Now, as the full scale war has been going on for 16 months, it is more relevant than ever. "Put your two-headed eagle into your ass" captures all their anger at the Russian army, and in this case is an exception and should be taken very seriously Edit: yesssss Edguy in video n.3 🤘
@@SarimFaruque I agree, compared to what these videos have provided they are relatively non-cheesy. But I'd say there are some goofy out of context bits in Epica + The Black Halo duology, like "so adorable all these women from my fantasies" or "I can make your dreams come true, what a couple, me and you". I think they deserve to be on the list
If you do thrash metal at any point, or expand out into corny lyrics in general, Megadeth's Chosen Ones is about the killer rabbit from Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail.
Alestorm is my favorite "themed power metal" band by far. I mean, they wrote a song about running out of songs to write, then wrote they lyrics: Wooden leg, wooden leg, wooden leg I've got a wooden leg, wooden leg
Not really power metal, but one that always gets me is Savatage's Conversation Piece. 'They're good for conversation Over a cup of tea, yeeeaaaah, cup of teeeaaaa'.
My personal favorite for weird or cheesy lyrics is a toss up between "And it's half past 4 and I'm shiftin', yeah." in Radar Love - Golden Earring. and "Heart of an Egale, He flies through the rainbow Into a new world and finds the sun" in Stratovarius - Eagleheart
I love "Wizard! Frozen in tomb His nuclear clone made Dundee go kaboom But all is not lost just as long as I stand" from Gloryhammer Imperium Dundaxia. Especially given that "Go kaboom" in this context means a nuke to the face lol
@@p3chv0gel22THE FORCES OF JUSTICE STILL WANDER THIS LAND! I SWEAR BY THE HAMMER THAT I WILL BE FIGHT, THE ARMIES OF EVIL WILL DIE! Sorry, couldn’t help myself, but gloryhammer has fucking great lines bc of how much they’ve embraced their cheesy nature, so I thought I’d leave some here as well: “Follow your heart, let it guide you through the dark, to the land of unicorns!” - Land of Unicorns “Goblin king of the darkstorm galaxy, ride on the wings of doom, grant me the power to fight my foes and defeat the lords of the moon” - Goblin King of The Darkstorm Galaxy “He wields the laser blaster, dark lord of Dundee!” - Keeper of The Celestial Flame of Abernathy “There inside the citadel, where a robot guards the way, you will find the blaster, to smite your foes this day” - Vorpal Laser Blaster of Pittemween “Robot prince of auchtertool, over thy robot kingdom rule, electronic lord of war, destined to reign forever more” - Maleficus Geminus “Sword lord of the goblin horde, black night of the dwarves caverns, we must find the hidden way by the sword of the lord of the goblin horde” - Sword Lord of The Goblin Horde I could go on, but you get the point. I fucking love them so much.
Excuse me, what do you find cheesy about epic dinosaurs, gods shooting lazors and the majesty of Heavy Metal? I believe those things to be the most true and valuable in life.
Also, my favorite power metal song and the best example of this is probably Riders Of The Dawn by Twilight Force. Its simultaneously the most embarrasing and epic thing ever
Ok, they kinda missed the point about Nanowar. They make EXXXXTRACHEESY songs as a way to lampoon various music genres, Valhalleluja just happens to be about power metal (and rhapsody of fire to be precise, and gospel songs and the American mega-churches where it's commonly sung, but that's another story). The same could be said of many other bands on the list tho, from the top of my head at least Alestorm and Grailknights. The same could not be said, for example, of Sonata Arctica!
Power Metal: "I fucked a dragon" Every other form of Metal: "Wait, that's not how this works. you're supposed to hate" >:( Power Metal: "I am the reincarnation of the concept of wind" :D
For the most part, you’re right, but if you look at the lyrics on some of their older stuff it is pretty cheesy. For one, their most popular song is about a werewolf love story. “Shitload of Money” is corny too.
Well, to be honest, Alestorm and Nanowar of Steel are all about goofy lyrics - it's their bread and butter, their wenches and mead! I didn't know it back then, and the lines like "join a gay dragon party with Lucio Dalla" or "put your dick in a blender" made me spill my tea laughing in surprise! Powerwolf and Gloryhammer are also intentionally corny, but not to such an extent.
I used to like Metalite before their new singer came in, after a while I was curious so I listened to "Peacekeepers." Heard that lyric, and was like, "Yea, not listening to them again."
It became a meme to quote that song to say you thought what was being said was a tall tale. Like posting "r/that happened" or "and then the table clapped." in the thread.
Æther Realm definitely does. To an extent I would say the other two do as well. A lot of melodic death metal is really just power metal with harsh vocals.
To be fair all type of metal can be extremely corny. I personally find death metal and black metal are more over the top and corny than power metal for the most part not that it is a bad thing, but yes there do exist corny power metal out there as well.
@@Mare_Man I love dinosaurs. But I want my dinosaurs on my sci-fi/time travel prog songs, not my D&D power metal. Now if you want to split the difference and do a song about the Tarrasque, we can talk
Who cares if anyone thinks a bands lyrics are full fat cheese, it's power metal and it's mean to be fun not some stuck up, po-faced high-brow tosh. Most of these bands are brilliant live and the music world would be a poorer place without them.
This is part of the reason why I fucking love Power Metal. Epic, Uplifting, and EXTRA FUCKING CHEESY
Thats why so many of us love power metal. The songs sound like the artists sound like they had as much fun making these songs as we do listening to them. Gotta love that fun energy and passion.

I know Winged Hussars has become a meme at this point, but as with 99% of Sabaton's work, it's rooted in actual history, so does that truly count?
How is it a meme?
Yes, it absolutely counts. Sabaton is absolute epitomy cheese and corniness in power metal. And, without the question, the worst band in this video.

I love how Christopher Bowes's genius writing made most of this list lmao, also, ressurection by erection was his handywork as well lmao

@@Heriarkayeah he didn’t write it , just took 700 (said to me it was 666 on Reddit ) quid to do a cover

"May your sword stay wet like a young girl in her prime"-Hail and Kill- Manowar.. a good one too

Who cares if anyone thinks a bands lyrics are full fat cheese, it's power metal and it's mean to be fun not some stuck up, po-faced high-brow tosh.
Most of these bands are brilliant live and the music world would be a poorer place without them.
Need less self-serious dweebs and more of this, but for every genre
So this is basically the opposite of black metal. Love it
Sometimes i need a metalband talking about pirate things okay
