Give me some bands that sound liike these:

[HEV_tux]

I used to be close minded to the classic/thrash metal genres such as iron maiden, metallica, and slayer, but have recently started to branch into to genres that i really enjoy
Power metal
And
Black metal

My favorite power metal bands are the ones with fast tempos and drumming, quick chord progressions but most importantly Optimistic and upbeat vocals
At 4:12 of this song Is what i am looking for in power metal.


For Black metal i like music that is constant heavily distorted, but still rythmic and has vocals that growl high pitch instead of low pitch such as this band at 0:30

Right now Angra (for power) and gorgoroth (for black) are the only bands I really like from these genres, but if somebody could help find a sound like the 2 i recommended i would be very appreciative, thank you in advance.
