To quote my favourite Nanowar song : "Sit down all you little children Listen well to me I'll tell of Blind Guardian Dragonforce and Rhapsody To listen to their songs You need to know a lot of things And read at least seventy times The "Lord Of The Rings""
So let me get this straight: anime references - check Vtuber references - check Japanese bands references - check Yes it is official, How to make Kawaii metal is definitely happening
Powerwolf, Rhapsody, Nightwish, Blind Guardian, Ayreon and a whole slew of bangers of bands! Respect gained [insert power metal version of the San Andreas Mission Passed theme]
While I enjoy most everything in the metal genre, Power Metal is what makes me the most happy. This month has sort of been a shit show, with my grandfather passing away from covid unexpectedly, it's been rough. Seeing something so fun, so very much in the spirit of the genre (as is trademark, y'all are badass like that) has helped to heal my soul a little bit. I feel honoured to live in a world in which passion projects like this channel can exist and be shared with others. Keep doing what you're doing, because you are fantastic, and genuinely talented as a musician. You clearly have a love for the types of music you cover and continually open me (and probably many others) to areas of the metal genre we wouldn't otherwise look.
This is the best How To Make yet: history lesson, music theory lesson, humor, production values, and a song masterclass that does a damn good job of explaining how Dragonforce rose to prominence. i've been patiently waiting for Power Metal to take its turn on the HTM carousel, and I must say it's been worth it.
This is why Power Metal is the best music in the world. It's all about fun and love for the music and it doesn't take itself grave seriously! And it's so full of amazing musicians and singers it's ridiculous! Absolutely love this video btw. Thank you Andri! I remember telling you a few months ago how much I wanted this video and man did you deliver 😁😁😁😁🎵🎵🎵
@@walalng I agree, to a point. It depends on the band and album, and my mood. Some bands I can only listen to a bit at a time, and others I can listen to loads of it.
That moment years into watching Pagefire's "How to" videos you realize you not only have laughed a lot but actually learned a lot. Thanks Pagefire. Because of Pagefire I was able to start a Post Punk Apocalyptic Power Doom Noise Porno Grind Gore Death Band
This is legit awesome, we need an album, I need to know what happens when the group flies the dragon to Nuclear blast and gives them the demo. You can't just blueball us like this
Well, to be honest, Andri never disappoints us with an astonishing song. I really like power metal and symphonic metal, and this song is definitely on my list of best songs ever.
I was the happiest man alive when you mentioned Avantasia. Without doubt one of my favourite and probably one of the best power metal band ever because Tobias Sammett takes every other power metal band and mixes them together. IT'S AWESOME!!!!!!
Dude, you just taught me something I never realized when creating songs, and you did it in less that 1 minute. Relative keys. Holy crap, this changed everything for me lol.
You know that we need a 7 hour anthology of your journey to take "the one song" to Nuclear Blast... Hey, no pressure, we can wait...like 2 weeks or so...
this was the most accurate power metal video i have ever seen; amazing work!! hilarious script, good info, and killer track \m/. also sick Nyanners tee ✨
Amazing song and full of nostalgia! Just made me remember the good times when I was discovering metal with bands as Blind Guardian, Nightwish and Angra :D
I was always in a Death Metal group and I even play in a bunch of dm/grindcore bands, but power metal is still my favourite genre. I mean DnD meets metal, how can you not like it?
This is so ridiculously good it’s insane! Just love this channel, you guys are awesome! That song is amazing! And Andri, you should do some sort of music theory class, I’d love to dig deeper into it with you guiding the way! And I’m sure there’s more people who’d love to see that
Ok you videos are usually on genres I'm not too too familiar with, this one I'm quite familiar with and really enjoyed all the jokes and jabs. Also makes me not feel so bad for shelling out as much as I did for 15 power metal albums, knowing that all of said artists show up in here. Also very glad I wasn't the only one to be in utter shock when listening to Rhapsody of fire and Christopher Lee came on. Edit: also as usual your parody cover was good enough to be legit.
I am not gonna lie, the music video is pretty awesome! The dragon fight is epic! Who knew a birds eye view camera shot can make a low budget video look like an epic fight!
This video is a combination of all the jokes I've made in my life about Power Metal (genre I love, by the way), like how all the lyrics are 'Fliying high to the sky, destiny, bla bla bla', but of course with the extra work of filming a video and even producing a song for the occasion. You have a new subscriber!
Not only were we blessed from deep within the forests and high up on the mountain tops with a kick ass song, the entire video was so well produced! Kudos, brothers and sister of the journey called life
Extra credits for the Wintersun wristband. And damn, that‘s a fantastic video. „All the bright colours of Dio‘s Rainbow“ made me shed a (small and very manly) tear.
Had I heard this song detached from the rest of the video I 100% would have just...accepted it as "yep, a power metal band did that" Which I consider a definite A+
This one hurt my soul. Should feel bad that I know and own music from every band in the vid. BEST YET from the gang here. Regardless of style ya folks make great music. Respect for all the talent here.
@@black_winds666 Maybe because it is nice to know that a creator doesn't hate people who are just living their lives and not hurting anyone. As a cis guy who happens to have trans friends and family, I always appreciate shows of solidarity towards trans people, even if it is something as simple as a patch on a battle jacket.
I think Lost Horizon is an incredible Power Metal band. To me Daniel Heiman is one of the greatest Metal vocalists, he also sometimes reminds me of Dio ngl. Awesome Video this is just too good. Also the Drum samples in Dragonwings really sound like the Drums from Lost Horizons first album.
A video has not made me belly laugh like this is the longest time. This video was a definite nat 20! There's only a handful of bands on there I haven't listened to and now you gave me something to do at work
Oh god, it's so good you guys. Definitely my favorite, next to the Nintendo core one. Which also just perfect. Top notch stuff. Excellent job. I'm jamming this for a week.
"Jim, we need to come up with a new song, what should we write about?" "Let me tell you about this rad mural I saw airbrushed on a van once." God, i love power metal
Absolutely brilliant song and video! I could not stop laughing! Funny as hell! I do like bands like Edguy and Rhapsody of Fire, they are really funny bands. Sabaton may be a bit too serious for me. I think this is the best Pagefire video so far. 🤘
The Algorithm did a good thing tonight and provided me with this genuinely entertaining summation of Power Metal as a genre, the composition therein and a wondrous song with every single trope being hit! THANK YOU for this and I look forward to consuming more of the content you've made!
Guys!! That was awesome!!! 😃😃
Didn't expect to see you here lol
wtf tommy??
No way
Did not expect this comment :-D
hot beef FTW!!
"I'll take the demo to Nuclear Blast" Legit made me spit my tea!
After I've listened to the song I had literally no doubts that this will happen :D
Don't forget Napalm Records
@@timothyissler3815 AFM would be a solid third attempt
@@timothyissler3815 Napalm will take just about anything and I do mean ANYTHING. Christopher Bowes, singer of Alestorm, literally did shit called Christopher Bowes and his Plate of Beans.... Napalm Records released it
Same!
you cannot be in a bad mood while listening to power metal. that's just science
that's why I love power metal so much
A metal head friend told me once - the worse the cover the better the metal. And it’s absolutely true for power metal. You can put cheese upon cheese and it will just work beautifully. Fantastic video!
also true of old school death metal demos.
Wow, dich hab ich hier nicht erwartet. Schönes Crossover meiner chaotischen Musikvorlieben. xD
Your friend will love Metal Disease
So... Tape loop power metal when? 👀
@@Elenuay Hainbach sounds like a german metal band.
Awesome video!
Thanks Nikolas Nocturnalson!
Nik, why are you everywhere I go? EVERYWHERE?!?
Yo you like same TH-camr che out there folk punk and murder folk vids and pizza thrash this channel is epic
The song slaps. It's better than many unironicall songs lol
Unironicall Power Metal? Since when?

To quote my favourite Nanowar song :
"Sit down all you little children
Listen well to me
I'll tell of Blind Guardian
Dragonforce and Rhapsody
To listen to their songs
You need to know a lot of things
And read at least seventy times
The "Lord Of The Rings""
Pagefire goes satirical and tries to make a fun Power Metal song; and makes another serious entry into the genre...
Absolutely brilliant!
It’s honestly less ridiculous than a good 30% of the genre
@@evilemuempire9550and it's still dope af
If you can make this vocalist the main singer for nekkonomicon you guys would conquer the world. Him, plus the female singer would print money.
Seeing Sir Christopher Lee on 10:55 makes me miss him now. Not only he was a good actor, but a good ol' metalhead in his early 90s.
Why is this so needlessly good?
So let me get this straight:
anime references - check
Vtuber references - check
Japanese bands references - check
Yes it is official, How to make Kawaii metal is definitely happening
bad idea
Please no
MURMAIDERMURMAIDERMURMAIDERMURMAIDER
Plus cute girls on vocals...🤔
Just don't take it too far and do what Riffshop did where they went WAAAAYYYY too far and made that uWu song.
Pagefire definitely rolled a 20 on this vid
Imagine having friends to play DnD with...
Or just in general, imagine having friends...
Oof size:L A R G E
and imagine having a friend that is also a girl!.
Oofers
imagine "having"
@@birdwalkin Imagine
if there's a legal limit to the number of cliches a single tune can have, you surely surpassed it. incredible work
You clearly haven’t spent much time in power metal
Powerwolf, Rhapsody, Nightwish, Blind Guardian, Ayreon and a whole slew of bangers of bands! Respect gained [insert power metal version of the San Andreas Mission Passed theme]
I think a power metal version of the battle winning jingle from Final Fantasy would fit as well.
I'm just surprised they managed to find a real dragon
it's cgi...
Epic, like the journey Conan took to go through barber school and become “Conan the Barbarian.”
I thought he was a talk-show host
This is hilarious but also accurate and respectful to the genre and the fans. Thanks for the laughs.
"Kings, Queens and Themperors"
I don't even listen to power metal but thank you SO FUCKING MUCH for that one

That song at the end was SO cliché but awesome!
Holy shit xdd
Another reason why i Love the cheesiest of Bands, like Gloryhammer
Not really. I admit. I like some power metal songs but I couldn't stand listening to a power metal album. It's just too boring for me
@@walalng I agree, to a point. It depends on the band and album, and my mood. Some bands I can only listen to a bit at a time, and others I can listen to loads of it.
"If Manowar doesn't put you in a good mood, you have no soul". Worth the upvote alone.
Damn, Craig really delivered and made this song whole! Not that it was in any way bad, but the vocals took it to a new level!
Idea for a next video: "How to make grunge"
That moment years into watching Pagefire's "How to" videos you realize you not only have laughed a lot but actually learned a lot. Thanks Pagefire. Because of Pagefire I was able to start a Post Punk Apocalyptic Power Doom Noise Porno Grind Gore Death Band
This is glorious. I like everyone of your "how to...", but this is easily amongst your best.
This is legit awesome, we need an album, I need to know what happens when the group flies the dragon to Nuclear blast and gives them the demo. You can't just blueball us like this
Dammit, Andri is making me learn music theory by disguising it as a video about my favorite sub-genre.
"Wait, what's a dragon?"
"Dragon these nuts!" *dab*
I died
Well, to be honest, Andri never disappoints us with an astonishing song. I really like power metal and symphonic metal, and this song is definitely on my list of best songs ever.
I was the happiest man alive when you mentioned Avantasia. Without doubt one of my favourite and probably one of the best power metal band ever because Tobias Sammett takes every other power metal band and mixes them together. IT'S AWESOME!!!!!!
I love how both you and Stevie T. both made parodies of Power Metal, and unironically made good Power Metal songs.
Dude, you just taught me something I never realized when creating songs, and you did it in less that 1 minute. Relative keys. Holy crap, this changed everything for me lol.
You know that we need a 7 hour anthology of your journey to take "the one song" to Nuclear Blast... Hey, no pressure, we can wait...like 2 weeks or so...
Ok, that settled it. Going straight to Patreon to become a member. You guys totally shred and deserve all the support I can give!
Drinking game unlocked, drink and smoke every time he says dragon
Power metal, memes, high quality parody and mistake in musical theory. This video has everything I wanted to see =D
this was the most accurate power metal video i have ever seen; amazing work!! hilarious script, good info, and killer track \m/. also sick Nyanners tee ✨
Legendary.
Well done folks. This brightened my day to angelic heights.
Amazing song and full of nostalgia! Just made me remember the good times when I was discovering metal with bands as Blind Guardian, Nightwish and Angra :D
That could have been a fucking Stratovarius song, great job!
I was always in a Death Metal group and I even play in a bunch of dm/grindcore bands, but power metal is still my favourite genre. I mean DnD meets metal, how can you not like it?
I guess people just feel the need to be negative. They see people enjoying a thing, and wanna shit all over it. It's quite sad.
As a Powerwolf and Sabaton fan, I can say that I 100% agree with this video
Best Brazilian Power Metal: Angra, they're the ones who did the Brazilian version of the Knights of Zodiac Opening theme song
Knights of zodiacs? Is it saint seiya perhaps?
3:58 showing Band-Maid some love. Nice.
Need to listen to their main project, really liked their maiko joke lol
This may now officially be the best channel on TH-cam
This is easily my favorite video of yours. Stellar work
Andri and the entire PF Team *are literally taking it to the next level with this masterpiece of a track.* ❤
This is so ridiculously good it’s insane! Just love this channel, you guys are awesome! That song is amazing! And Andri, you should do some sort of music theory class, I’d love to dig deeper into it with you guiding the way! And I’m sure there’s more people who’d love to see that
You never know what genre to expect from a Pagefire concert !!
You right
I love how they always take the piss out of the genre and have a ton of fun doing it, and still come out with a cracking banger of a tune at the end.
i mean, power metal is all about having fun.
Holy shit, you guys really outdid yourselves with this one :) It's obvious you have a lot of love for the genre
Ok you videos are usually on genres I'm not too too familiar with, this one I'm quite familiar with and really enjoyed all the jokes and jabs. Also makes me not feel so bad for shelling out as much as I did for 15 power metal albums, knowing that all of said artists show up in here.

i saw grailknights live a couple months ago. one of the most hillarious and fun shows ever. also their singer used to be my brothers music teacher ;)
Glad i found this video! Got a new youtube series to binge. Spot on and hilarious.
the production quality on your vids is skyrocketing! this is awesome!
It’s not just fantasy, they also sing about sci-fi, but this song was really good.
I can already tell this is going to be awesome
I’m un-ironically using “kings, queens, and themperors” now. I love that 💜
I feel like I watched you guys in your natural habitat lol. Such a banger of a video gj!
Absolutely nailed it, you accurately described why I love power metal so much.
I am not gonna lie, the music video is pretty awesome! The dragon fight is epic! Who knew a birds eye view camera shot can make a low budget video look like an epic fight!

without doubt the best thing ive seen on yuotube in months, epic(a) :)

I think I'm just gonna rewind and watch it again lol
Dude, you all had way too much fun making this video.
I love it!
This one made my GM come back and made me renew my gym subscription.

Had I heard this song detached from the rest of the video I 100% would have just...accepted it as "yep, a power metal band did that"
Which I consider a definite A+
Duuuuuuuuuuuuude(s)…. Wtf, this is insane! Insanely well made!!! Killer video and killer song! ❤
This makes me want to dig out my Rhapsody/ of Fire cds. I'm a folk music guy these days, but that song took me back to my high school days.
Omg the dragon 🤣🤘 Great episode and damn good song!
This one hurt my soul. Should feel bad that I know and own music from every band in the vid. BEST YET from the gang here. Regardless of style ya folks make great music. Respect for all the talent here.
Awesome! Maybe next you could do how to make Hyperpop?
I hate and love how you always end up making amazing pieces just for the lolz.
I needed this laugh, spot on and well made!
A "No terfs" patch and a Nyanners shirt, I'm sold. Good stuff dude, rock on!
Why are Andri's political views so important to you lol. Appreciate him because he's a talented musician instead of his politics.

I really, really enjoyed this one. Tobias Sammet would be proud, I'm pretty sure. The only funny thing: nobody used Go, Go Power Rangers theme!!
Well they DID mention the Grailknights...
;)
The “Kingdom of Greyskull fucks to this music!” bit has me deaded 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Can confirm, this is how you make power metal. I see steps of my process in here (and then some)! 🤣
I came across this video through Nic Nocturnal and I love it! Great work!
I would love to see a How to make blackgaze episode, great stuff as always !
I'd love to be a power metal singer, but I'm also a big whiskey lover.
So I'll stay with my Lemmy vocals.
