I admit to liking Children of Bodom's first two albums. The band, in general, got me into extreme metal so I have to give them props for that.
Dragonforce.Like, power metal at light speed
Nvm.and a million decibels and it will turn yout body into goo to listen to it. And stuff that's not too optimistic or upbeat.
Blind Guardian eats your silly Rammstein as a pre-dinne snack.
Sure.
Hibria
first Lost Horizon album
Persuader's album "The Hunter" is pretty straight & exactly what you seem to be looking for. I like Angra's first album & it's really powery, but not so dark. Firewind's first album "Between Heaven & Hell" is a good PM album I have a soft spot for.
V5, I could have swore that you lectured someone here a few months ago telling them that CoB is NOT Power Metal. If it wasn't you I'm sure it was Dodens, but I know it was one of you two. The conversation went in the direction stating that CoB were much closer to Melodic Death Metal (or Melodeath) since Melodic Death Metal sometimes contains slight Power Metal influences anyways.
I think he was explaining how there's a difference between harsh power metal and melodeath.
I listened to Sabaton, and while it was impressive, I still think the keyboards are gay and the album would have been better without it constantly sounding keyboardy.
