Harsh vocals =/= anger.
@ml: lazy. Post me a video.
And obviously US power metal can be angry, but that's practically a different genre.

Also, usually US power metal is all I listen to for power metal.

Or usually non Euro power metal.

I don't think there's any way I will ever like power metal. I'm not attacking anyone's tastes here but god damn i hate that shit.

 

[JGMetalhead]

Well if you dont like clean vocals with melody then perhaps its not your thing. There is a good amount of power metal bands and theres a good amount of crappy corny power bands. But for every genre theres the good and bad. Theres stuff to hate and stuff to appreciate.

Is Evergrey really power metal? Seems more like dark progressive imo.

 

[Orion Crystal Ice]

Evergrey is just crap.

Power metal rules, thus Evergrey is not that.

 

[Dak]

Evergrey is just crap.

I will say this slowly and once. gee tee eff oh sir.

me neither. I hate excessive melody.

you should follow your own advice in regards to grind.

 

[Omni]

There's plenty of power metal that people who hate overly stereotypical power metal would probably like.

 

[JGMetalhead]

You know I've actually been getting more into certain aspects of grind. But good call.

Harsh vocals in DM don't sound angry to me along with the music(majority of the time) which is why I enjoy it because it's not annoying. Can't say I care for angry whiny adolescent sounding music like say black metal for example(my mommy and daddy made me go to church on sunday bullshit waahhhh).

 

[CF87]

The local church makes me angry!!!!!

That's possibly the worst rationalization I've ever seen. Way to try and justify your unfounded hate of an entire genre of music.

I loled.

Cody's smoked too much pot

Brazil's power metal is definitely the best form of euro power metal.

That's not at all what black metal's about. I've never heard a BM band sing sbout there parents making them go to church.

I'm not gonna criticize death metal because I like it myself. Name one BM band who sings about 'whiny' aspects.
