How about some hair metal ?
If they would re-amp these 80s albums. I just learned about reamping.
System of a Tool if you ask me
One of my all time favourites
If you like the harder stuff paired with beautiful harmonics go check it out!
I’m somewhat shocked that no one has mentioned the best game ever directly related to this topic.
If you like rock and metal music, go play this game. It’s truly epic.
It introduced me to a whole world of music I had never heard before. The soundtrack is amazing. (and the gameplay is fun too!) It’s on GoG and Steam. Plays best with a controller I think.
not a gamer at all but that seems to be fun
That game is like a love letter to the rock/heavy metal industry. It’s amazing. (and it’s got a fun story too!)
Second to third best role of jack black in my book and I still love how Lemmy could heal with his bass
New release by Tobias Sammet’s german power metal dream team project Avantasia. This hasn’t been mentioned here before and it’s similar to the opening post’s Dragonforce suggestion (ofc slower and more focused on vocals, but as close as it gets without being a copy and even if not as over-the-top, pretty darn sophisticated sounding with more varied songwriting, but also more lengthy and potentially tedious for some that prefer shorter runtimes). Not their first album so you might want to delve deeper into their catalogue that exists since 2001.
Maybe a better display of what they’re capable of:
Another gem, showcasing excellent production as well:
