Here's an interesting band. Well mainly the singer. This YouTuber's name is Pellek and his band as well. He does a lot of anime, video game, and cartoon covers, along with covers of other groups.

The very first song I was introduced to them (if we're not talking about his covers) was this song. Wasn't originally animated but thought why not share it XD

NOTHING BUT METAL

Now here's a fun band. This is a thing called Pirate metal. The band I'm sharing is called Alestorm. Have fun XD

Here's a drinking song XD

ALESTORM - Drink

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f55CqLc6IR0

ALESTORM - Fucked With An Anchor

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=th4Czv1j3F8

ALESTORM - Alestorm

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJ_eVIZkjZE

I nearly forgot to share this band. Thank you Zelda for reminding me after telling me about Smooth McGroove. This is a Acapella metal band called Van Canto. The only instrument played is drums but other than that it's all singing. That one guy really knows how to make awesome guitar riffs with his mouth XD

This was the first song I was introduced to when finding these guys.

Van Canto - Lost Forever

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJ0n-1FmFiw

Van Canto - Kings of Metal

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiESgYr35gA

If you're a fan of the Lord of the Rings than you'll love this cover from them XD

VAN CANTO - Into The West

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jfp34E17OUo

Yes, they did a Metallica cover XD

Van Canto - Master of Puppets

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSpuVsLnl1k

Continuing the trend of voice actors with bands we have Eyeshine with voice actor Johnny Yong Bosch. Everyone should know who he is like the 2nd black ranger from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Ichigo from Bleach, Vash from Trigun, Renton from Eureka Seven, Artemis from Sailor Moon, and many many more roles. His list is endless really XD I've seen them quite a lot really since they came to SacAnime a lot. A fond memory I like to share was the voice of Mario and I (cosplaying the green Power Ranger) were able to get up on stage to shred the guitar with them. It was amazing XD

Eyeshine - "Here Comes The End Again"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vf0vse739XM

Eyeshine - "Fighting"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grlxAJjDitI

Eyeshine - "Consuming Fire"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdoEK-J1dCw

Now here's an interesting group to share. As you know there are many voice actors that sing, even some of them having their own band. So I thought I share Rock Sugar. They are band known for their mashups of pop music and heavy metal from the 1980s. The lead singer is Jess Harnell which many of you should know his roles like Wakko Warner from Animaniacs, Ironhide from Transformers, Crash Bandicoot and so much more. This band is fun to mess with friends like you're playing one song where sounds like Enter the Sandman from Metallica but out of nowhere the lyrics and singing is Don't Stop Believing from Journey XD

It's a bummer they only have one music video but you can still listen to the rest on YouTube^_^

ROCK SUGAR-Don't Stop The Sandman

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr4HffbAUTk

Well here's a band where I'm pretty sure many know them. This is a parody metal band called Psychostick. I do love their music and it's good to get a good laugh out of it. I mean when showing my parents they laugh pretty hard XD

Psychostick - Obey the Beard

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0kSuZFOwFE

I'm sure many saw this since it feels like a meme XD

Psychostick - Dogs Like Socks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swmuqGWgZCc

Pretty much a fav song from my father and many who love caffeine XD

Psychostick - Caffeine

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FweAZfgZMvw

Psychostick - N.O.E.L. (System of a Down B.Y.O.B. Christmas Parody Song)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZWlZFfAnIM

This one is perfect for streams since it's a boob song. I like how in the video there's a random Dragonball moment XD

Psychostick - Because Boobs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcYlytyuKsc

This one a pretty odd video but pretty funny. The song is especially funny. It's basing a satire to those heavy metal songs where you can't understand them and making it brutal. Friends always laugh when listening it in the car XD

Psychostick - SO. HEAVY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBOSkT-7jBE

If you love Bruce Campbell they did do s dedicated song to him. XD

Psychostick - Bruce Campbel

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xX_vADIJts0

Nine Inch Nails - The Perfect Drug

(Hearing some of the bands I grew up listening to and going to see being played on classic rock stations is really depressing.)

https://youtu.be/a7g42njRoIY

One of my favorite bands, Soundgarden - The Day I Tried To Live

https://youtu.be/dbckIuT_YDc

Will get back to sharing music later^~^

Well this is a power metal band with a female singer. Pretty good singer. The band's name is Unleash the Archers. As for the music video it's pretty awesome if you love Mad Max Fury Road. Lol XD

UNLEASH THE ARCHERS - Tonight We Ride

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOvZKJlrtk8

Now this is an interesting band because of the instruments they use. Never thought they can make flute playing so bad ass. XD This band's name is Eluveitie.

This was the first video I was introduced when finding new bands.

ELUVEITIE - Inis Mona

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iijKLHCQw5o

Just a bad ass song XD

ELUVEITIE - Havoc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XM1v-00C6AM

Now this song introduce a female singer and has started playing more current songs where I don't mind this change. I like her singing. And yea, the title saying Epona just makes you think Zelda right away XD

ELUVEITIE - A Rose For Epona

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1lXdLus2WI

Another one of my top fav bands called Evergrey. I really love how their melody is played in their music and love the singer's vocals a lot. He just has that voice that hooks me in.

Evergrey - A Touch of Blessing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2k7nWb75uQ

Evergrey - Wrong

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKvt0Omrens

EVERGREY - Distance

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqoJTWmG4Xs

Interesting fact on the guest singer is she's the current singer of Nightwish

EVERGREY - In Orbit feat. Floor Jansen

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKNg2dcO94k

Probably one of my fav songs of all time from them because can be relatable when reading the lyrics.

EVERGREY - Passing Through

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izpMS_QbNwQ

This is one of my top fav bands called Kamelot. I was surprise to know it's an American band though their music sounds like it be outside the US like with Finland and Sweden. I'll be sharing both singers and see what you think. I mean I love both just as equally. Some like one more than the other. So we'll see your thoughts.

This is the old singer and was the first video we found when discovering them. My brother and I were like starting college and since having more internet access we thought let's look up more bands. Found this band and just fell in love with these guys. This is one of the only songs they play on the radio. I wish they played more of them really. Oh well. Still an amazing song^_^

KAMELOT feat. SHAGRATH - March Of Mephisto

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Qdcl67H1Jw

This one features the singer of Epica that I just shared. Interesting fact, the singer of Epica is with the keyboardist to Kamelot and have children together

Kamelot & Simone Simons - The Haunting

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RE7_Zp0lX1c

Kamelot - Ghost Opera

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-TUufvK0gU

Kamelot - The Human Stain

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4n3LobCY5HE

This is definitely one of my top favs from the old singer^_^

Kamelot - Rule The World

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJeqUW-T5hE

And now for the new singer. Do love the song but the video can be rather depressing because of the meaning behind it. Still love the song^~^

KAMELOT - Sacrimony

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvWT-7l6vJU

And this one, though personally love the second song much more, is a two-part story music video. Like you have to watch both to see how it plays out

KAMELOT - Insomnia

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvUeqRwWorM

KAMELOT - Liar Liar ft. Alissa White-Gluz

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDLZ6Mqy7AM

KAMELOT - My Therapy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGP13JaM0RU

I think I have too many favs from Kamelot. I mean I did said one of my top fav bands. Funny thing that the group Eklipse I was able to get a photo with one of the band members when seeing Kamelot live. I'll just add a photo for the heck of it. Lol^^

KAMELOT - My Confession ft. Eklipse

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSylbQEHhVo

This band is one of my favs call Epica. That name says it all really XD. I love their music so much because how they mix metal with an entire orchestral group behind it. They basically mix many styles with their music but you can still tell it's them. It's funny again I found this band because someone played it in their Monster Hunter play-through. I will admit they got some pretty long songs so I'll probably just share one long one, one short but def fav, and something else.

This is one of their longer songs. One of the first songs I listen to when first being introduce to them and that person did play it in his Monster Hunter vid. Over 26 million views. Geez, that's a lot 0_0

EPICA - Cry For The Moon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dys1_TuUmI4

Well I guess a bit of a long one but not too long. Do like this music video with its visuals, especially with its heavy tones with black and white.

EPICA - Storm The Sorrow

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNoTvg0t52c

Probably my favorite song from them of all time really. I just love everything about the song. Wish they had more of a music video instead of a official lyric video. Oh well. Still an amazing song.

EPICA - The Essence Of Silence

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oePrtEMmX9Y

My brother heavily suggest I share this song as well because it's pretty awesome as well.

EPICA - Never Enough

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfLtA8SkmVw

And here's something interesting. They did a Pirates Of The Caribbean cover. My brother shared it on one of Jirard the Completionist's live streams and he fell in love with them. It was pretty amusing to see that XD

Epica-Pirates Of The Caribbean

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFxhXpPwqic

Now going to start sharing some personal fav bands. I will admit that yes, most of the music I'm going to be sharing here are more goth type metal or more symphonic music like how I share Nightwish before. I mean if not your thing it's all good. Just thought I share them anyway^_^

This band I'm sure you probably know if you watch a lot of anime. Not the mention the lead singer is also the lead singer for the series Bakumatsu Rock. This group is called Granrodeo. This band specializes in making anime soundtracks. I mean if you look them up it's all anime music from them. They still have official music videos of course. I'll just show a couple of main favs^_^

GRANRODEO - Can Do (Kuroko's Basketball opening theme)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gou49bzZrvo

GRANRODEO - The Other self (Kuroko's Basketball 2 opening theme)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_MMEKaN_kw

GRANRODEO - Henaino Rondo (Karneval opening theme)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNXqSlNqqUY

Granrodeo - Detarame Na Zanzou (Blassreiter opening theme)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E57UpzKaS34

One last Kawaii metal band to share is Doll$Boxx. When looking up if other Kawaii metal groups I came across them where I like their music. The first music video I found is pretty amusing as well^_^

Doll$Boxx - Take my Chance

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mu2z4Uf9Tgc

Continuing with Kawaii Metal I thought I share a group call Ladybaby. What makes this group stand out a lot is their heavy metal vocalist is an Australian male professional wrestler who crossdresses and calls himself Ladybeard. Their videos are pretty amusing. I mean when showing this to my father he loved the music so much and laughed so hard on how it was. Plus, I say it's fun to dance to as well XD

LADYBABY - Nippon manju

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8-vje-bq9c

Idk if you heard of them before but thought I share anyway. This is a Kawaii metal band called Babymetal. Kawaii metal is basically when fusing heavy metal with J-Pop. Thought it was funny when they had a reaction video Markiplier was one of them and really enjoys the band XD

This was the first song I was introduce when listening to them.

BABYMETAL - Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IzR_ClTE8Y

Many seem to love this song a lot.

BABYMETAL - Gimme chocolate!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIKqgE4BwAY

And I just personally love this one!

BABYMETAL - KARATE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvD3CHA48pA

Will post more songs later^_^
