Thanks for this thread - As someone who loves both WOT & Metal I was totally unaware there was any possibility of a crossover.  

For me as a metal musician of the extreme side, I automatically thought that the themes of The Dark One and The Last Battle made it a no brainer for me to try. I still need to get back to the 2 songs I was rewriting as I am always working on some other material at the moment! Horns up!

From memory I'm pretty sure there's a band called Myrddraal - my husband uses Discogs and is forever pointing out WoT metal bands to me ? I think there might be a lot more out there than we realise!

I forgot to check this post but yes I have seen there is so much more then I thought!

HAHAh I am here to do some stabby stabs. Point me in the right direction!  ?

This has been gone over in some other threads so it might be interesting to look through them too since a ton of preexisting insight might not end up in a new thread. But also we do always love to comment so some will and maybe even new content. 

 

I try not to comment on any individual points because until I see it in full i will reserve judgement. Dwelling on my fears or expectations will taint my opinion of the show so Im staying neutral as possible and treating it as Jordan had us treat the video game - as either a portal stone world or another turning of the wheel. Rand is Rand but may not be the Rand I know from the book.  But is still Rand. I know Sanderson endorses that method of viewing the series as well. 

 

Also the teaser trailer is supposed to barely feature anyone. So Rand getting linited play is not at all a surprise. Actually the bigger surprise is how much we did actually see in a teaser. Here is an example of a teaser from another thing Im excited about and you will see the contrast. 

 

 

You speak on something that has been on my heart and mind for years and especially since I picked up this series 13 years ago: we as fans of what we love, tend to view our love of the thing as the only way we should look at it!  Hopefully this makes sense to you since even I cannot grasp the words to express myself.

I am finally doing a reread of the series since only reading it once before but it still has captivated me to this day. And when we just let the story absorb us, it is like we are in The Void!

Good afternoon, my friends!

For my first back, I would like to know how many of you really love metal and and any W.O.T. bands or songs!

One source I personally use is Metal Archives. Still, there does not appear to be many bands dedicated to our beloved series.

I did however find some that are very interesting!

Lavos Beckon

This is a friendly entrance into the world of metal without being off putting.

MSHDR

Oh my! Now this is something else!

And besides Blind Guardian's At the Edge of Time album, does anyone else know of any other bands or songs with W.O.T inspiration! I would love to know!

And finally, I myself am working on an e.p. of a W.O.T. themed album in the vein of technical death metal. Stay tuned for any updates!

Thanks everyone, and I look forwarding to hearing from any metal lovers out there!!!

Thank you everyone! It certainly is an exciting time!

I will look into joining some clubs!

And it is great to back and thanks for the warm welcome!

I will have two songs hopefully semi done in a couple weeks where I will share them at that time!

Now it is time to continue on my re-read!

Good morning , afternoon, or evening no matter where you are!

With all the excitement that has been building for the new WOT series, I felt inspired to rejoin Dragonmount after all these years!

I am Giovanni,your friendliest neighborhood metalhead, and I am so very glad to be back! If there is any other fellow metalheads, I will have a surprise shortly with some songs inspired by the WOT series!

Much love to everyone!?
