Fun fact. The "King" in the Revenant King video is played by Jason Tarpey, the lead singer of the epic heavy metal band Eternal Champion. Ya'll should check them out as well!
I discovered Visigoth because I looked up Dungeons and Dragons Metal and I played their track Dungeon Master. That song is epic and sold me immediately
These guys are so underrated. Found them by chance years ago and was surprised to see they were touring even here in Germany. Went to see them live two times so far, and both times were amazing. I'd recommend "Traitor's Gate" as a song that is a bit more on the dynamic side :) Anyway, great reaction!
Ha, I didn't know that Visigoth toured on Europe before. I hope they'll come back again after the pandemic, and that they'll come to Sweden. It would be a show to absolutely not miss! - Anamaria
They have a great sound. I can hear the vibes of 1980s US Power Metal such as Virgin Steele, Liege Lord, Jag Panzer, , Armored Saint, Vicious Rumors, or Omen. In the 1980s, Visigoth would have more recognition.
Something interesting about the second song you chose is that the lyrics are specifically about The Witcher, a popular fantasy character from a book series. The third song is about a video game called Dark Souls, as well as the other song that appears on the same EP. They actually have a TON of songs about nerd centric characters like Highlander, Conan, etc. which is one of the main appeals of the band to me (other them just playing incredible music.)
Killer band, there are some live clips and dude has a tremendous live vocal. Traitors gate for me is stunning, and the best song to hear just how impressive a range he has. You have to try Atlantean Kodex if you can, EPIC dont do them justice, all there stuff is amazing, new album from this year is my fav from this year.
Atlantean Kodex- - what a great name! I have not listened to them yet, but will gladly explore their music, since "epic" definitely fits the bill when it comes to my preferences. - Anamaria
I discovered visigoth a long time ago and I love them Next thing you know I moved to Utah Haha. The singer has several projects that are also amazing and are far different from visigoth. My recommendation for you guys is a band from Portland. They dont have that much stuff out but they sure are a really good upcoming band, they just tour with king diamond last year. Their name is "idle hands". I'm sure you're gonna enjoy them.
I am not familiar with Jake Rogers' other projects, I will have to look that up. And thank you for the recommendation for Idle Hands, I saw that they have one album out that got good reviews. Will add them to our list of suggestions! - Anamaria
They are all pretty damn good. Yes idle hands has an album out and they so have a successful ep. To throw more bands for suggestions I'll go with. Vektor, xoth,exmortus,hatchet,hexen,night demon,witchaven and there's a ton more lol
It's amazing that you chose Visigoth! One of the best newer true metal bands! 🤘🏻🤘🏻⚔️🍻 Second album is even better than the debut. My favorite song is Traitors Gate, but every song is absolutely perfect! ❤️
Maybe another good insider for you. Steel and Silver ist the Song about The Witcher and Abysswalker is about the Game Dark Souls. \m/ And no!!! Warrior Queen is not to cheesy xD Man...
Thanks for the context! I've been listening more to them since this and really enjoy them. The Revenant King makes me want to pick up Pathfinder 😆 -Michael
Visigoth is pretty big in the underground scene and get good spots on the billings for festivals all across Europe. I've seen them 3 times here so far, incredible live band for sure! Jake (vocals) did a phenomenal guest performance at the memorial concert for Mark Shelton of Manilla Road who passed away 2 years ago. The full concert can be watched here if interested: th-cam.com/video/m_Vft6q8DTY/w-d-xo.html It also features a lot of other guest musicians paying tribute to Mark Shelton!
I knew from interviews that Visigoth got part of their inspiration from Manilla Road (they even have a cover of MR's song Necropolis on the Revenant King album), but did not know about this concert. Thanks for the rec! Also really cool that there are other fans of this band! Where did you see them play in Europe? I haven't seen them live yet 😢 - Anamaria
@@MetalAcademix The song Queen of Desire is a good start with them. When you introduced us to Visigoth (Western Goths), Ostrogoth (Eastern Goths) popped into my mind. They were a band from the 1980s. Queen of Desire is from 1984. They had similar problems as Visigoth, because they didn't get much attention due to their location. Belgium was not a major metal country that time. If they were from UK, they would be more well-known. They played Heavy/Power Metal, but they don't sound generic. Underrated band.
Fucking Steel and silver. Even my neighbours know this song by heart by now.

Visigoth was my most listened to band on spotify in 2020
They are awesome, and I am so glad to see their audience grow. 🤘 - Anamaria

@@MetalAcademix Seriously there stunning.
Visigoth are excellent. This is from their first full length LP. I feel that they stepped it up even further on the second album.

I need to mention the song "Iron Brotherhood" by Visigoth, one of the best anthems for Motorcycle Clubs ever!
I didn't know that the song was such a bikers' anthem! It's a great song 🤘 - Anamaria
Visigoth is just a badass heavy metal band. On a side note, I love that Ensiferum plays in your intro.
Haha, fantastic spot - good man! Full review coming in a few weeks' time :) -Michael
@@MetalAcademix Can't wait for that. I actually saw Visigoth in Utah before they put out an album and got more recognition.
Chick has good taste

Warrior Queen rules. I'm wanting to base a character in a fantasy novel off her.
Are you familiar with the band Battleroar?
Great band! "To Death and Beyond..." is a fantasic album.
Love thier traitors gate and warrior queen

Visigoth!!!
You should check out Omen...just the first three albums, the others suck!
This guys so great fuckin heavy metal yeah
*starts watching..* “this guys an idiot.. “ *speaks on the rhythm section in regards to Black Sabbath and Deep Purple* “oh no.. he gets it..🤘🏼“
You guys have good taste.
Thank you
🤘🤘🤘
Still trying to find a Visigoth logo decal for my car. Anyone???
had i known i was going to be the 667th view, i would not have clicked.
Dropping you all a sub. Hollywood may not want my cash but what bands may? Hmmm
Maybe after listening to Visigoth, you may listen to Ostrogoth from Belgium. Try their song Queen of Desire.
Ostrogoth rhymes with Visigoth :), and if they are just as good, they should be on our list.

@@MetalAcademix Visigoth have the Warrior Queen while Ostrogoth have the Queen of Desire.
@@MetalAcademix They are as good in a different way. You'll not regret putting them on your list.
You died
