I can't see why people really bother saying something like that. (and yes, I know it's ironic that I bothered to say that)

Well you've proven that you obviously can't type, so why waste the little skill that you have in posting about a thread that holds no interest to you?

Don't think they've been mentioned thus far, but I may have overlooked it. Had to throw Iced Earth in there, though, even if some twat doesn't consider them power metal. Great band.

Manowar is in it's own pedestal, as the source for all modern (post mid-80's) power metal.

they don't need to be mentioned, they're recommended by default.

Although Pain of Salvation isn't power metal, you really HAVE to listen to them. Otherwise:

Angra
Falconer
Ark
Kamelot

I dont usually listen to power metal. I love the guitar work in the music. infact most of the music is just genious. the only thing that turns me off of the whole genre is the vocals (Think vocals like Dragonforce) If there is such a thing as power metal with a different style of vocals...can anyone suggest some bands? thanks.

BrokenCrimson showed me a power metal band i didnt notice in here yet, Oratory. it has female vocals that are really good.

DEMONIAC!!!! Dragonforce guitars (literally, its Herman Li from Dragonforce) and rhaspy ass vocals. dont get their first album, the second is questionable, the third is THE FIRE AND THE WIND and its straight up power metal, minus the vocals, which are really really rhaspy.

i never liked Pantera either. i guess listening to Exhorder before Pantera took alot of Pantera's impact. it honestly sounded like a similar, yet inferior, band.

What went wrong with Exhorder if they sounded like a "better" pantera? How come they didn't get so huge?

Pantera ruled for me for awhile. I don't hate them. I still like them, but I'm not in love with them. Not as much as that Nathan guy. *buhdumpbumpchhh!*

Cowboys From Hell is Pantera's only decent album. I didn't like anything after that. They're more of a cheap Exhorder rip off than Children of Bodom are a cheap Absurdus rip off.

Power metal = NO

Unless were talking about Savatage, Iced Earth, and Nevermore. Symphony X is pretty good too, but I consider them more progressive

But, other than those bands...

NO

no, no. you must use Manowar lyrics to defend power metal.

Hecatomb, you who killed my brother and all who take your side
this be your last hour
let your steel be tried.
now turn to face me upon the timeless plane
kill me if you can.
death is life!

Just discovered a very good power metal band called Firewind. The guitar player is Gus G. They just released an album this year called "Allegiance" Kicks all kinds of ass, trust me.

Gus G was also in Dream Evil and he has a badass power-thrashy project called Mystic Prophecy, which kick all sorts of ass and cunt.

Firewind is excellent, especially the first 2 albums.

Does anyone know if Seven Witches is any good? I have contemplated buying an album of theirs before, but I want to know what to expect.

I just recently discovered Galloglass; they are amazing.

Yes, I was already aware of Gus G. through Nightrage a while ago. I think I mentioned Dream Evil's newest album in here or some band thread recently. This new Firewind CD is reaaaalllly growing on me though. Great singing.

get you hands on The Hall of the Olden Dreams.

it's regarded as one of the finest power metal albums ever recorded and by far Dark Moor's best work.

Lost Horizon is definitely my favorite power metal band. Way underappreciated if you ask me.

Did you type that with your feet?


I can only listen to Dragonforce, but not all of it. But saying that if you've heard one power metal song, you've heard em all.

That. I do this all the time. Does anyone know if there's a fourth album coming soon, and if it's possible to listen to, even without a constant hard-on for technicality?
