The Brotherhood Does a Power Metal Album

Being that I am listening to Dragonforce at the moment, and moments ago I told Mikey that I was going to post, I decided I should post on this humorous scenario:
"What if The Brotherhood was a power metal band?"
Well.
I really can't think of much, but I think it would be funny. I didn't come up with a handsome awesome killer photoshopped album cover, but I did find a couple random images and photoshopped a little something together in what one might call a "brainstorming session".
So, all I was really thinking as far as crucial elements are a picture of some ruins, and a big explosion or sunspot or sunrise or something crazy.
The other things that would be great on said album cover would be maybe a dragon battling a wizard's puppeteered golems, while the wizard stands on high looking menacing casting a lightning bolt out of his magical staff made of beans.
Also, what would be truly crucial is having "The Brotherhood" in Dragonlance book font, and below it, the words for the album name "Brainstorm", because 'storm' is a word that is included on every single power metal album since the beginning of time, so we might as well put it in the title for effect, and, well, I said 'brainstorming' earlier. Plus it'll be our debut album so it'll be a catchy little trick.
I digress.
The important points, if The Brotherhood is going to be a successful power metal band, here is how it has to break down:
Mikey - hot chugga chugga rhythm guitars, insane high pitched screamaballadeering
John - grand summoner type narrations and orc voices for our hit song "Orcs in Paradise"
Stemo - obligatory prog-solos, but he chooses to only come out for one song, one show, per year.
Me - ripping up shredding nasty wicked hot skinpeeling Castlevania solos
Jess - her job is simply titled "stern disapproval". and also running the merch table since she wouldn't want to embarass herself onstage with our nerdly antics
Brooks - saxophone, of course. have you ever heard sax in power metal? well you're gonna.
Kildoo - bass and voice of the Berserker Gorillas throughout the epic album "The Brotherhood Battles the Berserker Gorillas Through Time and Space"
Mark - drums, what else?
Nate Beard - keyboards. because you need a keyboard player, and what else is Nate gonna be doing these days? rocking in a power metal band is what he's gonna be doing!
And some of our song titles have to be titled things like:
"Power of the Eternal Spirit"
"The Hammer of Justice"
"Ancients of War"
"Wars of Ancient"
Then there are the obligatory 3-7 part epics which are titled something like:
"Part the First: Natrafacles Pulls the Sword Excaligladius from the Rock of Feynor and Battles the Forest Trolls"
"Part the Second: Herald of the Golden Dawn and Keeper of the Crystal Spheres"
all the way up to Part Seven which is something along the lines of "The Prophecy Fulfilled".
I don't really know, but I need sleep. Maybe I'll actually make a fakey photoshopped album cover sometime so I can laugh. At least one person will.
For now, love me and my use of graphics in my posts, even if it's not even a decent picture!

I wanted to be the Fly Girl! (Think
"In Living Color" if you can't recall what a Fly Girl is.) Don't they have Fly Girls in metal bands???

Yes!
I also forgot to mention we need a keyboard player too. We might have to contract outside of the Brotherhood for that, I dunno any rockin' keys players though.
