Probably Brymir. They have quite the contrast between heavy blackened death metal and über happy power metal.

Thanks dude! I know! I’ve been watching the number slowly creeping up over the past weeks/months. Never had this many followers before. Now I gotta do something about it.

Thanks to all you new followers! I have some new music projects in the works, but I also have a retail day job that makes progress difficult. Just know that I see you and will be getting new tunes up asap. May the 4th be with you! ✨🪐🚀

Last fall I took and online class for music composition. Yesterday I got to meet my mentor and composer hero Jason Graves! What a surreal experience #gdc has been so far.

Gotcha. I’ve got many a suggestion, but they’re not always for everyone, so I gotta be strategic. Seems like you’ve got a good dose of the big ones that covers a good range. There’s a lot of power metal that’s cool. One band I love is Unleash the Archers. I love the albums Apex and Abyss.

First post here. Still getting things setup. Here’s a podcast that I produced with my best friend all about metal music. I did all the editing and sound fx as well as co-hosting. It’s a good exploration of all the different subgenres. Enjoy! www.creativegeniusfm.com/metallurgy

Yikes. No bueno. I made the switch to Reaper about 10 years ago, specifically because it’s more stable than Sonar, what I had been using prior. I hope your DAW woes let up soon.
