10.13.16 | Oh by the way, these are just the albums I know of and wanted to share. It's not like I'm saying these are the most bombastic records ever. I'm mostly interested in seeing if you guys bring something new (for me) to the table.
I have to give a quick mention to Blink-182's untitled record. Songs like Asthenia and Here's Your Letter have such glorious openings it's incredible. |
Rik VII
10.13.16 | The Devin Townsend Project - Trascendence
Epica - The Quantum Enigma
Blind Guardian - Beyond the Red Mirror
X Japan - Art of Life |
Masochist
10.13.16 | Devin Townsend Project - 'Addicted' fits this bill. Some real good poppy metal. |
FullOfSounds
10.13.16 | The Dear Hunter albums |
TVC15
10.13.16 | Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk - Emperor or any other huge symphonic black metal I guess |
AsleepInTheBack
10.13.16 | Yeah The Dear Hunter for sure |
maxer
10.13.16 | I've never heard of Devin Townsend Project, but I'll definitely check it out.
Epica is indeed really damn epic. Completely forgot about them.

10.13.16 | between the buried and me- colors |
maxer
10.13.16 | Black metal isn't really my cup of tea though TVC15.
The Deer Hunter is great. Battesimo del Fuoco is pretty much the definition of epic |
CalculatingInfinity
10.13.16 | X Japan - Art of Life [2] |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.13.16 | Queen!!!!
|
Rik VII
10.13.16 | forgot to mention
Orphaned Land - Mabool |
maxer
10.13.16 | Orphaned Land - Mabool looks really great. I'll listen to it tomorrow. |
maxer
10.13.16 | Johnnydeking29 I own Queen II, but never really put much time into it. Is it worth diving into again? |
Rik VII
10.13.16 | if you dig metal and bombast and don't mind an oriental edge to it, you can't go wrong with Mabool ;) |
CalculatingInfinity
10.13.16 | Yeah Mabool is pretty great, especially Calm Before the Storm. And yeah listen to Queen 2 more. |
Rik VII
10.13.16 | the whole last 4 tracks/20 minutes of Mabool are quite an experience, imo even one of the best "last thirds" of any album |
maxer
10.13.16 | I'm very excited to listen to Mabool now.
And maybe it's time for me to finally get into queen, I'll give it a listen again. |
AlexKzillion
10.13.16 | Avenged Sevenfold - s/t |
maxer
10.13.16 | I never really got into Avenged Sevenfold. They have some great songs, but I never make it trough their albums. Any particular songs TheMrAlexK? |
Artuma
10.13.16 | arcade fire - neon bible |
AlexKzillion
10.13.16 | If were talking bombastic I would say A Little Piece of Heaven, Afterlife, and Unbound. Since you put 3 and 4 on here I assumed the album didn't have to necessarily be good. |
maxer
10.13.16 | I'm going to bed now, but I'll check them out tommorow if I have the time.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

10.13.16 | Neon Bible is a good shout, the definition reads 'pompous, inflated, high-sounding but with little meaning'? Yup |

Masochist
