Came for Dragon Force, stayed for Hammerfall.

Knights of Cydonia by Muse makes me imagine two identical robot knights on robot horses that only differ in color doing battle with lasers in space. And for some reason, it's in the animation/art style of Kurzgesagt.

Symphonic Metal listeners be like.

Then the one hundred eighty-nine

In the service of heaven

They're protecting the holy line

It was 1527

Gave their lives on the steps to heaven

Thy will be done!

-Sabaton, The Last Stand

The fact that nobody said immigrant song by Led Zeppelin shows that society is already doomed.

[–] homoludens@feddit.org 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Well, you said it - so we're saved, right?

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

God I hope so!

A minute and 34 seconds into Imperials by Ratatat was always the one for me. There's a bunch of the ones, but this one came to mind first.

Always hits hard when I’m backing out of my driveway at 4am.

Magic Sword is so fucking good! If you ever get the chance, go to one of their live shows, so much fun.

This comment section would make a killer playlist.

The Sword - How Heavy This Axe

Maybe more barbarian than knight, but any excuse to share The Sword is one I’ll take.

[–] trem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Interesting that you guys associate guitar solos with feeling like a knight. For me, it's brass and choirs and such...

I've never thought whether it's the power chords or the drums. One of my pump up songs is a capella so it can't be guitars.

That's amazing. Recommend any other songs of theirs?

[–] SchwertImStein@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

all albums since Elfte Gebot

their current setlist is also pretty lit

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

Thank you very much. I'll check it out.

[–] Cedar@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago

While we’re all submitting our picks for the song… Here’s Kamelot

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Anything from Hammerfall, or maybe Dio.

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Considering the image my first guess was Holy Diver.

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 1 points 5 days ago

The whole Back to Black is sad, but there is a 2 second guitar riff that makes it extra sad for me, so I do this even if it did hit me the way I expected it to.
