Power metal with balls

I believe I do, junior.

Virgin Steele - The Marriage Of Heaven And Hell part 1 and 2
Edguy - Mandrake
Crimson Glory - Transcendence
Tad Morose - Modus Vivendi
Helstar - Nosferatu

and many more....

Is Edguy really that good? I always saw them as kind of a cheese comedy act.

Mandrake is actually a really good album, but it has a lot of ridiculous lyrics. The first album, Kingdom Of Madness, is really fucking good and overlooked, it's the heaviest thing they've ever done. Tobias Sammet is a hit or miss vocalist, he misses most of the time, but he totally nails everything on Mandrake.

The Clans Man definitely has a right to ejaculate all of VS, they fucking rule.
 
"Rheingold" for Grave Digger and "Death or Glory" for Running Wild are the closest either band ever got to Power Metal. They both utterly own and their music is purely made of steel and 17 1/2 enormous testicles.

Tool–after four albums, Fates Warning switched singers and became a boring prog-metal band. Night On Brocken, The Spectre Within, Awaken the Guardian and No Exit are the only ones worth buying.

As much as I like these albums - especially "The Spectre Within" and "Awaken The Guardian" -, I disagree that they are the only ones worth buying, because I also enjoyed "Perfect Symmetry" very much, but this is - as always - a matter of personal taste. The latter sounds very different from their first releases and it´s definitely not power metal, yet I never considered any of their first four releases power metal either. Well, that´s the trouble with genre labels: 5 people, 10 different opinions. However, the only important question is not how you label a band or an album, but whether you like the music or not.

But back on topic: Jag Panzer´s "Ample Destruction" and Helstar´s "Remnants Of War" have already been mentioned.

Some other albums which - IMO - feature "powerful" metal songs and which you might regard as power metal are:

Vicious Rumors - "Soldiers Of The Night" (definitely), "Digital Dictator"
Liege Lord - "Master Control"
Chastain - "Mystery Of Illusion", "Ruler Of The Wasteland", "The 7th Of Never" (still my favourite Chastain album), "The Voice Of The Cult", "For Those Who Dare"
Griffin - "Protectors Of The Lair"
Malteze - "Count Your Blessings" (the best song on this album is definitely the title track)
Drifter - "Reality Turns To Dust"
 
If not Spectre Within, you must consider Awaken The Guardian to be a Power Metal release. It is similar in every way to the melody of Crimson Glory or the insane riffwork of Ample Destruction. It also has the greatest Power Ballad ever written, "Guardian". :headbang:
 
I know a lot of people are against them, but Dragonforce is pretty fucking good if you can numb yourself to the cheese.

And you dumbfucks didn't mention Lightning To The Nations....

Helloween and Gamma Ray...obviously.

Metal Goddamn Church...
