Necromagus Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Now don't get me wrong. Power metal is one of my favourite genres. I can tolerate cheesiness like Hammerfall's Way of the Warrior. I'll even defend Dream Evil's Book of Heavy Metal. However, the line has to be drawn somewhere, and for me the line will be drawn here. It's the video of the song 'Ancient Forest of Elves by Luca Turilli, the guitarist of Rhapsody. Over the years I've built up a high tolerance for this sort of stuff, but this is just too much. Ignoring the fact that the music is mediocre at best, it is one of the most rediculous music videos I've seen in years. Grown men prancing around in a forest wearing cloaks and tights and wielding plastic swords and shields? With LARP-commercials like this for music videos, how are we ever supposed to be taken seriously?

How2PK Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 If they write lyrics like this: Old lands and red dragons filled his open eyes Kings, queens and proud warriros in his magic dreams Mystical energies led him straight there To the lonely holy wild path I'm not surprised they walk around in tights with plastic shields and swords. The lyrics are just as ridiculous as their videoclip. Led Zeppelin has done a simmilar thing though, you can see it on the DVD "The Song Remains the Same".

Trip Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I crossed the valleys the dust of midlands to search for the third key to open the gates Now I?m near the altar the secret inside as legend told my beloved sun light the dragon?s eyes On the way to the glory I?ll honor my sword to serve right and justice for all Finally happened the sun lit their eyes the spell was creating strange games of light Thanks to hidden mirrors I found my lost way over the stones I reached the place it was a secret cave In a long bloody battle that prophecies told the light will prevail hence wisdom is gold For the king for the land for the mountains for the green valleys where dragons fly for the glory the power to win the black lord I will search for the emerald sword Only a warrior with a clear heart could have the honor to be kissed by the sun Yes, I?m that warrior I followed my way led by the force of cosmic soul I can reach the sword On the way to the glory I?ll honor my sword to serve right ideals and justice for all For the king for the land for the mountains for the green valleys where dragons fly for the glory the power to win the black lord I will search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futurama Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 good lord. this just enhances my hatred for choreographed videos. If you ask me, band performing on stage/in some sort of awesome setting is more than enough for a video. otherwise it just gets corny...i cant even stand weird acting like in Trivium - Pull Harder On The Strings Of Your Martyr...the odd guy who paints the Ascendancy cover. Even that's lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapten_bn Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Well, you should watch Immortal's Call of the Wintermoon. Maybe the Rhapsody guys played a little too much rpgs when they were kids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oy_the_Great Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 That is just hilarious. OK, they can play some guitar, but I doubt they have more than a few braincells. This is a videoclip that a 10 year old boy would make, not adult metalheads. Bill Hicks[/url]":dhj2kan9]Since the one thing we can say about fundamental matter is, that it is vibrating. And since all vibrations are theoretically sound, then it is not unreasonable to suggest that the universe is music and should be perceived as such.

Necromagus Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, Kaledon takes a shot at it... http://www.kaledon.com/video/KALEDON-THENEWKINGDOM.wmv (right click, save as) The video itself might not be that bad, but the lyrics... bloody hell...

Augsback Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 There are so many different types of metal out there that you would never think of. For example there is NintendoCore from Horse The Band that sound different from other metal types but I think are a really good band. Now for this metal type, it's probably some english based band that is really into there Medevil time period. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 That is just hilarious. OK, they can play some guitar, but I doubt they have more than a few braincells. This is a videoclip that a 10 year old boy would make, not adult metalheads. This might just be one video clip, and I don't know, is it even the full band rhapsody? Thing is, Rhapsody is an amazing band. Are their stuff about medival / fantasy times? Yes, and it's amazing. Anyways, power metal is my favorite genre. There are those few things that i'm ... eh about (I love the song Book of heavy metal, but not one of my favorite songs, it's alright at best) and btw, agreed, Sonata Arctica = owns. One of my favorite bands. :) edit: good, it's not rhapsody. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
