Power Metal Bands

[xshadowsoulsx]

hey i just started listening to more power metal and i wanted to know what are some good power metal bands that you like? I allready really like Sonata Arctica and Hammerfall...thanks!

 

[miocene]

Nocturnal Rites and Edguy are my two favourites

 

[LeBim]

Blind Guardian!!It my favourite band of PM. Try Brainstorm too.

 

[The Don]

Definitely check out Kamelot, Stratovarius, and Rhapsody as well!

 

[Stormrider586]

Pyramaze and old Iced Earth. Nightwish too, if you like female vocals, Tarja is amazing.

 

[GuillotineDaniel]

My band is power metal! Check my sig !

 

[The Leper]

Sonata Arctica??? Blind Guardian is the best though, in my opinion. I think Iced Earth counts as half. Demons and Wizards? Dream evil? i dunno. Some may not think some of these are power, but they are good none the less.

you guys should try Twilighting
they got some crazy solos n stuff

 

[Wodka_Axu]

A power metal thread and no one mentiones Iron Maiden wich is like the creator of the entire genre and a pioneer of metal all around the world?

A finnish less known group called Kiuas also has really catchy playing along with a brilliant vocalist, they play a little tighter but in my opinion it still falls in to the power metal category since people do have a need to categorize metal

thunderstone is pretty cool, well atleast the album i got, its like a dio, cob, norther mix i think

 

[Hrafn]

If your into really fast solos.. maiden style kind of thing.. check out Dragonforce.. they are amzing.. and the solos are just mad

 

[Verano]

IM tired of maiden....kamelot, kiuas( I bearly heard a sound clip, they show potential, but haven't gotten their album in the 'states) and some bands you guys listen to.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

get Heavenly - Dust to Dust.

 

[Darth Grimby]

Dragonforce and Onward are favourites of mine.

[The_midnight_walker]

DragonForce is the best , Herman Lee is fast as fuck!!!!!!!!!! :hotjump:

Dragonforce is overrated. Listen to Hibria! singer is amazing and the guitar players shred that shit!... oh and unlike Dragonforce, they write good songs. http://www.hibria.com/

Dude your sig!! Opeth & Children of bodom & Kalmah aren't Black Metal bands... You must be from the USA or something , a lot of Americans think
that everything with screaming vocals and keyboards is Black Metal
