   I'd already seen this video, and yeah...I was trying not to laugh. But that was the reaction they were going for! The song wasn't too bad, actually, but I wouldn't, say, listen to this at work. =)

   Kinda figured that's what they were going for, really. XD Though I will say, I think certain UF characters would be quite interested in 1: that keyboard array, and 2: the idea of a starship powered by rock. Even if it is shaped like a submarine.

   Gloryhammer is basically a self-aware parody of the fantasy metal genre, and they're hilariously glorious.

Any band that does a song about an "Ancient Enchanted Jetpack" is in my wheelhouse, I tell you that.

   Sadly no, more of a silvery gray. But it could be.

Not that surprising to me... I've lost track of the allegedly semi hard sci fi that claims that nuclear submarines would be the easiest to convert into space going vessels.

   Yeah, but it took a *lot* of Handwavium to get the Stingray to space. :)

   Note that this is the same record company who produced the metal Diggy Diggy Hole with Wind Rose(as well as Drunken Dwarves, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4azillbpqU among other songs)

So, "less than serious metal" seems to be their stock in trade, as it were.

   One hates to be contrarian (a blatant lie if you look at my previous posts around here =] ), but I've never found bands like Gloryhammer to be particularly fun or funny: they're just trying way too hard. It's the same problem I have with Tenacious D, as much as that's internet heresy. Their satire of the genre and its attendant tropes (fantasy metal for Gloryhammer, cock rock for the D) feels very forced to me, and therefore quite snide and mocking; laughing at rather than laughing with.

I'd offer as a counter-example Let The Flames Grow by Greek power metallers Wardrum, possibly the greatest anime opening theme to ever lack an attendant series (right down to the slightly mangled English of the lyrics). Unlike anything by Gloryhammer, it's played absolutely straight, right down to the bone. There's no artifice, no archness, no sense that the musicians think they're too good for the genre; Wardrum's just some guys trying to be as metal as they can. I find their earnestness and sincerity far more appealing than the self-satisfied irony of Gloryhammer.

Then again, I accept that I may well be in the minority here, and I must stress I'm not trying to harsh anyone's buzz here. If you enjoy them, enjoy them! And continue to do so! I'm just not as keen, that's all, and wanted to share an alternative. =]
