Feuerschwanz and "fantasy metal"?

[Famous Mortimer]

This just popped up in my recommended videos bit on Youtube, and I immediately loved it.

I need to stop pretending I don't love stuff like this (see also: Rhapsody, Blind Guardian). Plus, the band in question did a cover of German reggae / rap legends Seeed's "Ding", in the same style, and it's amazing.

So, bask in the glory of Feuerschwanz, and share any favourites of this genre you might have.

Yeah I love that sort of stuff. Love a bit of Blind Guardian. Love anything that makes me want to grab a sword and twat a goblin.

Have you heard Týr ? They're a Faroese Power Metal band.

Amon Amarth I'm sure you know already.

Ensiferum do some good 'battle metal'

Does Finntroll count?

Was also a big fan of Demons & Wizards obviously

Looks like Napalm Records is my place to go.

Here's Mushroomhead, who are dressed like Slipknot orcs and whose music is over the top and wonderful.

They missed a trick not calling themselves Feuerschwankz
