Yes. Yes that particular flavor of cheese does seem to fit into my metal diet.

This is so cheesy that is awesome by default
I love cheesy metal. Love it.
This is bad. And once again, the lyric video takes something bad and makes it worse.

I think it's interesting how many of you like this cheesy stuff. I for one can't stand any sort of cheesiness. I barely can hear Hammerfall these days and maybe the only reason I still have them in my playlist is that they were my very first metal band. If I found them today, I'm not sure, if I would like them... I don't know, I seem to have developed a serious aversion to any kind of cheese that isn't in my food.
By the way, this band: I never could have imagined one could make such cheesy music with growls and heavy melodeath-influences. But somehow they manage to pull it off resulting in me not liking them

Well, the problem is that what counts as cheesy is subjctive. Some people probably find any kind of growling inherently more cheesy than even the most bombastic power metal lyrics.

man, classes have been in full swing, not posting in here enough.
What are some of Metal Gaf's favorite Crossover/Thrash Albums? I thought I'd highlight a favorite of mine for a long while, Ratos de Porão killer album "Brasil"
Really energetic Brazilian Thrash from one of the best and most inspirational bands from the scene

Even darker, more atmospheric metal that I've liked has been at least a little fun. I go back to my Summoning albums more than stuff like Ruins of Beverast.
That Dodecahedron is impressive, but there's nothing fun or engaging about it. It's the kind of homogeneous, cacophonous post black type stuff that seems to intentionally avoid having any identity of it's own.

It's always curious to me how the music from bands that wear masks is always such weak pap.
They have all those props and shit to make it like they're dangerous heavy metal, but it's just pop with kid's first metal riffs. Even the song title is cliche heavy music lyrical theme, like they wrote what a metal song is supposed to be about, then made it as safe and productized as they could.

All metal is cheesy to some extent. There are mountains of bands that have ridiculously overt satanic themes, you don't think that is cheesy? Power metal and the like are just more up-front about the cheesiness. Think about it, in power metal, you vanquish dragons and whatnot, in other extreme metal you burn Christians, etc. Which one is more manly? Let me clarify, however, there is a difference between cheese and being bad & cringeworthy.I think it's interesting how many of you like this cheesy stuff.

Cheesy usually implies someone is trying too hard to give out a few feels and is blatantly inauthentic. Most "Satanists" aren't even Satanists, their just really into the occult-like stuff and try to be something their not. King Diamond, however, is.
I can't picture how Hammerfall would fall into the cheesy category but they can be over the top a bit.
Also, one will put hair on your chest and turn boys into men and women into Amazons.
The other will make you look inconsiderate to other's beliefs.

That's not what cheesy means...
LOL. Hammerfall is like the cheesiest band ever with Rhapsody and Fairyland.

Fairyland writes some killer songs. They might be the cheesiest band I have, but they are as quality as they are cheesy.

Embrace the insanity. This was one of my favorite albums from 2012.
I am also happy to see all discussions of Hammerfall leading to the curling video being posted.

That name is hilarious. But sometimes cheesy is not a bad thing, I think. Lot's of 80's action movies are pure cheese, but I love them all the same.

Are we talking the same "cheesy" here? I'm a foreign speaker so I just looked up if I misused the word the previous years, but the dictionairies [1][2] say it means something like overly dramatic or corny... Which is, how I used it.
. There also are many bands that don't do over the top lyrics at all. The Agonist, Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquillity and many more have quite decent lyrics that don't go much further than it is necessery to write lyrics instead of a lecture.
Fake Edit: Morrigan Stark understands me.
Real Edit:
it overlaps, but it isn't the same.
I agree, that there is a big difference between "bad" and "cheesy". I also agree that you could say that some extreme metal lyrics qualify as "cheesy". I never said I liked these lyrics, though

I was a pretty big fan of Nile back in the day, though I stopped listening to them a while ago. Which albums are your favorites?
Anything but At the Gate of Sethu is solid, and that's only bad because of the inexplicably terrible production.
Just heard this fucking insane, uh, ambient black metal album? I think? Whatever it is it's totally rad.

I've got Annihilation of The Wicked as probably the one I enjoy the most. It's been years since I listened to Darkened Shrines. I lost interest in what they were doing after that, but perhaps it's time to go back and listen to more of their discography.
They didn't exactly reinvent the wheel or anything after Annihilation, so unless you're really itching for some Nile it's probably a waste of time.

I've heard good things about Whom The Gods Detest, so I at least will check that one out. Other than that, I think I'll skip some of their later albums.
I love this. Thanks for posting it.
Honestly I prefer Ithyphallic out of their later career stuff, but it's all pretty good (outside of Sethu, as mentioned).
No problem. I figured it was out there and well-executed enough that some peeps in the thread would be into it.
Annihilation of the Wicked was actually the first Nile album that I ever listened to and it's held up as my favourite over the years. I really enjoy all of their stuff before that, but I'm not offended or anything by their later work.

I've been a massive Wrathchild America fan for years, their masterpiece in 1991 "3-D" is one of the very best released that year.
Wrathchild America - 3-D
Songs like Desert Grins , Spy, What's Your Pleasure, Draintime, and the brilliant instrumental Prego really show this bands variety and talent.
It is a must listen for Thrash Fans and one of the classics of 90's Thrash
