btw, get the Voice of Metal warhorn skin, it has unique sounds you do metal screams into it and sometimes there's feedback squeal.

play an instrument up on stage, they will kick you off and you get the "stealing the show" achievement

The music is silly, but the good, Venom kind of silly. I'm hoping it's released in some form or other soon :+1:

Ha! I was also thinking about Venom while participating in the event. Especially the "ballad" reminded me somehow of Venom's Countess Bathory.

[Ultramex.1506]

Don't like heavy metal but this event does few personal things right to me1) The music doesn't pierce my eardrums and i can mute it if i want to2) I get to participate3) Rewards instead of wasting money and time4) Map chat

[Endless Soul.5178]

This is the best meta event that the game has ever seen.

https://twitch.tv/sin_of_anubis/clip/VenomousEnchantingMetalVoteYea?filter=clips&range=7d&sort=timeso... this happened yesterday. a face melting metal concert that almost melted the PC as a whole. you know you are metal when you can pull that off. Great Work Anet!

[Aerinndis.2730]

When I first encountered this event I was laughing so much. A really, really great imaginative event that gets everyone participating. This is one of the most creative things Anet has done. Major kudos on a really fun and epic meta event!

[NeyteriKiyeri.4207]

I am not a metal fan, but I like this event.ONE charr!

[Sylvari.2953]

I love metal so I can't wait to see this thing (I'm currently busy with a project irl so I haven't tried it yet). If someone has a video please post the link.

[Ashantara.8731]

I couldn't stop laughing the first couple of times I participated. So spot-on, in a humorous way.

[magnusthorek.8027]

It's an amazing event, even though I'm not a fan of this kind of music to a point the only thing that comes to my mind when I listen to the charrs singing is One Punch Man's intro XD

[Sevans.4619]

As a long time metal fan this pleases me. It almost makes me want to reroll my mains to Charr so I can also be a part of the Metal Legion.

[Wizler.8192]

So much stoke in this thread yew!

[Andur.9275]

I participated in the event yesterday twice and, as a metal fan, I didn't know what could be expected from such an ingame event beforehand, but to my surprise the concert turned out to be loads of fun.Well, nowadays in real life I tend to stay in the frontline banging my head (or at the back, if crowdsurfers get too annoying ?), but I really had a blast moshing and running around and couldn't stop laughing. Next time (or at times the most have aquired the t-shirt) I'll try to organize a real circle pit! \m/ ?

[Vancho.8750]

Really hope the Norn Scalds like the great Bodmodr Svartkelson and his majestic stash pull some Norn Metal ala Amorphis/Korpiklaani and we get Battle of the bands kind of deal event.Also any Idea who are the people behind Metal Legion, the vocals and texts sound sound something like mash up of Slayer, Amon Amarth and Sabaton with the chant , growl and military thematic, but the instrumental sounds more groovy like Pantera and Annihilator. Dethklok comes close but i'm still not sure.

[Kaliwenda.3428]

I did the concert for the first time yesterday, and I have to agree. What a blast! So much going on at once, and all of it crazy in the best possible way.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO jump jump jump jump jump jump jump jump jump

There's only a step from Dethklok to Batmetal... And I nearly woke my son with outburst of laughter when I imagined Batmetal style MV for Metal Legion songs :D

[Rauderi.8706]

The constant barrage of events was a frantic mess. It was hard to find targets in the crowd.But the whole thing was hilarious. I can't wait to get my mic! kinda have to, 250 chilis u_u

[Danikat.8537]

My own tastes lean more towards rock, punk (punk rock), grunge etc. but I like metal too. I was really unsure what I'd think of this event, it so easily could have been cringe-worthy and disappointing. I finally got to do it in full (with sound on!) tonight and it was great. :D

They really captured the atmosphere of a real gig, crazy, fast paced, semi-controlled chaos. I loved the mosh pit events especially and the boss at the end was a surpise. Only problem was I was torn between listening to the band and joining in with the events. But the nice thing is unlike a real gig I can do it again whenever I want, and for free. :D

[NanoEliteSixSixSix.8935]

Yeah this was some good fun. Given all the shenanigans that went down, I'm fairly convinced that this was just a Dethklok show transplanted into Tyria and with the fatality rate cranked all the way down. I give it my metal-loving stamp of approval, which may or may not actually translate to anything at any point in time (I don't know yet).

I still think they should have done a Deicide cover, though. 'Godkill' for an encore, maybe? Anyone?

[AlexVv.3965]

I love heavy music. All the songs of Metal Legion are very good - they sound no worse than many bands I know:) With a good Charr accent)) I also liked the event itself — as many have written above, it really conveys the atmosphere of a real concert, and with humor. Good job!
