I love power metal and I am not afraid to admit it. Hell I am flying form New Jersey to two festivals this year to see power metal bands. The first one being the Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles 6 Pack Weekend Part 2 in Cleveland, Ohio June 4-5. The main reason I am going is to see the mighty Grave Digger make their crushing American debut after making music for 23 long years. Other bands on the bill that determined me to go are Seven Witches, Primal Fear, and Brainstorm. There are some other great extreme, dark and traditional bands on the bill as well. The other fest I will be attending will be the almighty Prog Power in Atlanta Sept 17 and 18. This will be my first time attending the fest. It fetaures some of my favorite bands Brainstorm, Tad Morose, Kamelot, Edguy, and Savatage, I cannot wait.
Power metal is such an awesome genre and my favorite bands include - Grave Digger, Tad Morose, Running Wild, Blind Guardian, Edguy, Primal Fear, Hammerfall, Kamelot, Seven Witches, Rhapsody, Helloween, Gamma Ray, Iced Earth, Children Of Bodom, Dream Evil, Stratovarius, Rage, Sinner, Nightwish and many more.
