I wouldn't have the idea if you didn't give the cue, but there was a German Power Metal band by the name of Helloween. In 1987 they
released their second album, Keeper of the Seven Keys, cited by AllMusic as "a landmark recording that remains arguably the single most influential power metal album to date.
Pathetic as it may have sounded even back then, I remember how much I enjoyed singing along as a teenager. At least, they didn't take their music and lyrics too seriously. As I just learned, the band is still active. Here they are playing at Wacken festival in 2018 (image: Wikipedia).
I'm a friendly, non-dev, cisgender guy from NC who enjoys playing music/making noise, hiking, eating veggies, and hanging out with my best friend/wife + our 3 kitties + 1 greyhound.
I always love hearing it when theatrical bands like this don't take themselves too seriously. When you rock that hard and go that dark, it definitely borders on being absolutely ridiculous, but I love it, haha!
For a long time, I was kinda turned off by metal and 80's hard rock because it just seemed so over the top, but as I've gotten older my taste for it has grown because I do feel like a lot of the acts were in on the joke or at least knowingly leaning hard into the theatrics.
Haha, on another note, I just got the part where he's wailing "disease, disease, disease my friend" 😅 and abruptly, it slowed down to this beautiful, bluesy mellow guitar solo. This is great! 🙌

This is what they sounded like back in the days:
