Frojir, that is nowhere near an anthem mate...The Trooper and Paranoid by Sabbath etc would be good sing along Metal Anthems...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OI2COawqMJQ - Thats an anthem if ive ever heard one...Rather you know the band or not, or like heavy metal or not...You'll know that song! Its like were all born knowing these tracks! Laughing

Scream Aim & Fire, is a track nobody would know unless their fans of that said (shit Razz ) band.

However, that Scorpion's track, you'd sing your heart out with a few cans in ya! Laughing

Why are only very successful being allowed to play this game...does less record sales mean a track is less anthemic or that someone won't be roaring it out in 25 years?

As someone mentioned earlier Destroyer 666 have some absolutely massive anthems..the fact that they're not as well known as Maiden or Metallica doesn't diminish this in the slightest in my eyes.

have to agree with the destroyer666 stuff, the dont get enough credit for what they do. Also 'Blood Oath' or 'king Slayer' by Grand Magus are up there for me aswell

I agree with you in the sense that D666 write pure fist in the air songs, that completely define exactly what is deadly about metal (Genesis to Genocide - not this decade I know, Trialed By Fire, Black City Black Fire etc.) but they're not in the same, massive, genre defining way that the likes of the early Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, more recently Metallica etc. singles were. The kind of songs that in 20 years time, kids will be listening to as they're getting into metal, the same way that I did with Metallica, Slayer and Pantera. There will probably still be people listening to D666 in 20 years too, but not to remotley the same extent that people still listen to The Trooper, for example.

I don't care if there's not a bonafide, all encopassing song or band that cane define this era of metal though. Listen to this, and just be happy that there are such quality bands out there, even if they'll never reach the magnitude of their predecessors in terms of popularity, if they keep matching them for consistently good metal, who gives a fuck?

So is it a genre problem then? Are we spoiled for choice?

When I first started listening to metal, I could have listed all the genres I knew using 5 fingers and a couple of pairs of tits. So the bands were big fish in a relatively little pond (as far as I knew anyway).

Today, it's ridiculous with "Industrial More Than 5 Members But Less Than 10 Members Hip-Hop-Schkee-Bop-Down-The-Shop Metal" and whatnot...so what use is it writing tracks that define a genre when the genre you've been pigeon-holed in is one in a million. I mean, you could argue that At The Gates pretty much defined the Swedish Melodic Death Metal genre with some killer tracks....fuck all good it was to 'em. Ain't gonna be millions of kiddies screaming their lungs out to them in 20 years Laughing
