In case you didn’t know, Thomas Winkler, Angus himself, is indefinitely leaving the band to focus on his family. The new singer in this video, who plays his brother Adam Mcsix will be the new vocalist of the band. The description of the music video details this.
Yeah the video is cheesy as hell, but this song was just about the only thing I listened to the day it came out. Super catchy and fun, it's what I like about them. For the discussion at 11:00 about Powerwolf falling into that "Monster energy drink" category, it's the Sabaton effect. A band gets so big and so popular that they latch onto it and the rest of their stuff sounds very bland. There was some memorable stuff on their last two albums but nothing like The Last Stand was, and the solo tracks they dropped recently were mid at best. Now all they do is post about their older stuff on social media and go on tour. I don't think Powerwolf falls into that category just yet but they're getting there. 1589 felt kind of generic (which was surprising for a Powerwolf single) and I skip Joan of Arc whenever I hear it come on, but the rest of the album sounds great.
Geez. Finally somebody says this. Power metal today feels so samey, like everything settled, we see what brings most fans and we're just pumping out same old, same old. Appreciate you guys neatly formulating something that would take me 3 business days to describe My issue isn't that Angus McSix is a dumb Saturday morning cartoon turned into a band. It's that we got so many bands that are dumb Saturday morning cartoons that when something new releases it feels like deja vu And even with GloryHammer, my issue is that throughout the albums they drifted into this generic modern power metal sound. Just like Alestorm (surprise surprise), Sabaton, Powerwolf etc. When Powerwolf releases a song I think I could literally read the lyrics and construct the whole song in my mind without ever listening to it It feels like all the decent and big guys are settling down and we're relying on dumb luck to discover some cool smaller bands that have yet to make it big
Christopher Bowes always says he just writes some nonsense, but man, there's LEVELS to this nonsense. It just works. I'm sure it's partly because the music is superior, but not only because of it. It's like comparing Lord of the Rings to Harry Potter.
Might be a nitpicking on my side, but there's small part of the video that seems off: these red-blue are more cyberpunk than fantasy. Kinda of spoiling the effect for me. Aside of that it's rather avarage power metal song but with some lighter approach on story-telling and references.
If anything "cyberpunk" is blueish green. Just look at the OG Bladerunner, Akira or there used to be a film that you could put in your camera and it created oldschool cyberpunk movie-like pictures. I presume you think about Cyberpunk 2077. If that is the case I would recommend you to check out Cyberpunk 2013 and Cyberpunk 2020.

There was a dutch metal band called Angus. As for this song it's hilariously cheesy fun and the new singer from Manimal is a perfect fit.

I am just getting a little bored and tired of it.
@@APREACTSExactly. Kinda miss old Alestorm-days, before they became Electric Callboy with rubberducks (just sayin)
Same here MRTN1478
Yeah, lord of the rings is total garbage if compared to hp

@@roberth4395 I was refferring to - what you might call- a old-school pre cyberpunk 2077 thing. More like Ghost in The Shell .
