Power Metal, where art thou?

[Krigloch the Furious]

Lost Horizon, Hibria, Blind Guardian, Pyramaze, Heavenly

Are there any other good PM bands?
Sonata sucks
and the other big named bands are light as fuck.

 

[False Joe]

Jag Panzer.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Jag Panzer is a 3 out of 5 type of band. nothing special.

 

[DarkBliss]

Ignore the new songs, listen to the stuff from The Grand Illusion first, then go back and listen to the others.

What do you want from them? Their earlier albums are more speed metal. While their later albums are most powermetal.

 

[DarkBliss]

I have no idea

No, seriously, I've had limited exposure to either genre so I wouldn't know the difference.

 

[Einherjar86]

Kiuas. Check 'em out.

I 2nd Kiuas. They are power metal with elements of extreme.

Nightfall in middle Earth I guess.

 

[Qoppa]

I quite enjoy Magic Kingdom.

I dont like that stuff.
It seems that nobody can top Lost Horizon.

 

[False Joe]

It seems you suck.

That is all.

Lost Horizon are as formulaic as power metal can get. If you don't like anything other than that, then power metal probably isn't your thing bro.

For one last hurrah, try Sabaton.

[Krigloch the Furious]

Sabaton... holy shit that singer blows

 

[Einherjar86]

Wow. There really is no hope for you.

And I take it you don't like Kamelot, Rhapsody, Nightwish, Avantasia, the like. Yeah man, maybe this genre isn't really for you.

 

[Psychonaut]

Krig, I thought you had abandoned power metal for black metal. Not saying people can't listen to both (before I get flamed out of context).

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Rhapsody is ok, Avantasia is ok.
No, I didnt not give up on power metal. lol

 

[Black Friday]

Rhapsody is ok, Avantasia is ok.
No, I didnt not give up on power metal. lol

You gave up on quality power metal it seems.
