I like Khemmis sounds like an adventure story. Like the the guitars and clean singing.

⚔️🎵 Heard some great recs this week, and am so excited to check out based on how much more excited I am to return to so many of the albums discovered thanks to this channel. Some great stuff I am glad I never missed by only sticking to my long-time favorites and genres too much over the last several years.

Lindsay, there is a symphonic metal band, called Eye of Melian, which is also inspired by Tolkien. I love their second studio album. They are really really good.

I traveled from Germany to see Crypta in Madrid and I was so happy when they announced that Bloodhunter will be the support for the show. It was a killer night. Both bands were incredible that night. In my opinion they should tour again.

Thanks for showing BloodHunter. One of the bigger things for me to look forward too.
Love Diva Satanica vocals from the one with Nervosa.
So this will be amazing to check out.

Thanks for going over Fires In The Distance. I loved their last two albums

Thanks as always, Lindsay. I'm particularly looking forward to the "Fires in the Distance" album (heard a couple of tracks so far), but will check out your other suggestions too.

I feel like the only man in the metal world that didn't care much for the Khemmis album. I think it's sleepy and feels safe. However Fires In The Distance have an excellent new album. Energetic and dreamy in the best way possible.

Awesome video this week, Lindsey! If you had to choose between Fires in the Distance or Khemmis what would you chose as the best?

Love your channel but gotta pump the brakes at Stormkeep!!! If your into Deviant Art Vampirella riding Temu Ancalagon then i GUESS the cover art is "really cool" 😭

Khemmis' album was just perfect. Have to admit I gotta get used to the artwork. I love the pieces that were on the previous albums. It felt like it just had a narrative is going on between the albums with the artwork. I was very pleased to find out that it was an oil, painting.
