Looking to try out some Power Metal

[Valerie]

I can't speak for the vocals, but you may like the music of Sinergy.

 

[Manbient]

Seconded.

Thirded. Get the first one, Awakening The World too, as it's prolly a bit thrashier.

I'm in a power metal thread, and no one is touching my penis.

what the hell

you can't win!

Oh would you like that.
Sorry but I´m not that kind...

Helloween is best for power metal.
Keeper of seven keys.

And some Primal fear...

The best power metal band out there is probably Blind Guardian. Its also likely the easiest for a fan of harder stuff to listen to because they are darker than a lot of swords and dragons power metal, and their vocalist is incredible at lower ranges instead of singing in a falsetto. I recommend A Night at the Opera for their more progressive side, and Imaginations from the Other Side or Somewhere Far Beyond for their heavier side.

Dragonforce is also good(despite what people say - listen to them for yourself and make up your own mind). Sonic Firestorm is their best album.

I love Dragonforce, and Blind Guardian is one of my fav. bands...Sonata Arctica has some good stuff also...some of it gets a little monotonous though...

Did I not answer the question you moron.

your right

Sonata Arctica is also good, although I forgot to mention them. Wolf and Raven was the song that really got me into power metal.

yeah, theyre really good, I saw 'em live a while back and they were perfect... some of their songs are a little boring/monotonous, but overall theyre awesome

edit: their SONGS aren't monotonous, but their STYLE is...they've devolped a style of writing, and they stick to it strictly...

 

[Impudent]

Kamelot's singer sounds like Enrique Iglesias.

 

[Babykabob]

he LOOKS like enrique, I know that much...haha...Khan, his name is I believe...

 

[Impudent]

Well, he sounds like him anyway, in that he sounds like a pop singer, not a metal singer. Also, the singer from Symphony X sounds like a black guy you'd see singing on some TV Christmas special.

 

[Babykabob]

haha...I love his voice(Russell Allen, from SX) I think he sounds like the guy from Kansas, really classic-rock sounding...I see what you mean though...

 

[Nico]

Running Wild

 

[Zack]

DragonForce, Sonata Arctica

 

[witchhunterni]

I must say, these Blind Guardian people are rather kickass.

 

[Priest of Evil]

Stormlord - At The Gates of Utopia
Grave Digger - The Reaper through Rheingold

I'll second Rheingold especially. If you like your music more agressive and not so flowery (as alot of power metal ends up like), you need to be listening to that Grave Digger album!

I agree that the recommendations thread is too hard to follow.

Good luck on your quest.

 

[Thraxz]

try Galloglass - Heavenseeker
Symphony X - V or The Odyssey
Elvenking - Heathenreel
Stormwarrior - any
