Old School Power Metal

[Krow]

Stuff from the late 80s and early 90s would be great.

I'd like to steer clear of the extremely high nasally vocals. (Sacred Steel's vocals are a prime example of what I cant stand)
But I'm fine with pretty much anything else.

All great stuff... and definitely what I'm looking for, but yes, I'm familiar with these already. Will definitely check out Omen. Listening to Liege Lord - Master Control right now and it's pretty good too.

You might enjoy Isen Torr. They're a new band but they hearken back to the old school heavy/power metal sound:

A friend just recommended Brocas Helm, and I'm rather enjoying them.

 

[Krow]

Been in the mood for this kinda stuff lately. anyone else have anything?

 

[Slayed Necros]

Adramelch - Irae Melanox
Griffin - Flight of the Griffin

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Vicious Rumors is worth a shot. They're not consistently great, but they do have some good songs.

 

[Turenkarn]

How about Blind Guardian?

 

[Krow]

Blind Guardian is just a little too obvious, my friend.

SN, wanna recommend a vicious rumors albums? or should I just go with the first two?

And thanks MP, your recs are always awesome.

 

[mutantllama]

I second Irae Melanox


Amazing album.



Also, have you listened to Riot's Thundersteel?
It's pretty essential

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Traditional/power is basically the best kind of metal possible. A lot of my favorites have already been mentioned (Adramelch and Slauter Xstroyes fuck yeah), but...
