I have a small problem giving my negative votes, since my familiarity with most of the bands is not enough to reject them. And i'm not in a 'checking out bands' mood either. I know it's not very fair, but well..

edit: ishkur's post was rather messed up. I've already fixed it up.
 
I'm confused as to what exactly is "forum time".

No worries, just vote according to your own time. UM time is just a help in case no band is eliminated within 3 days, or if somebody tries to cheat.



Btw, maybe it should have been better if Blind Guardian was there instead of Kamelot as a representative of power metal. I do think Kamelot is one of the most decent PM bands out there, but it didn't stand a chance here.

Blind Guardian would have probably lasted longer, indeed. I didn't suggest Kamelot as a PM band though, i very much dislike power metal. But their latest album is awesome, and i'm not even sure if it's still classified under the PM brand.

I can see nothing even worth bothering for on that list, except maybe
The Kovenant, but the rest can burn for all I care.

How the hell were the band selected anyway, did they do something this year?
