Lost Horizon is the best power metal band ever IMO, I like only a few power metal bands, but these guys are one of my favorite METAL bands, and the cheese wiz is poured on THICK, I love processed cheese food stuffs.

I only like a few bands- but they are very good- Conception, Kamelot, Labyrinth( the singer is god awful though), and Symphony X. Holy Land by Angra is pretty good too.

There is one Iron Savior Cd I really liked- it sounded like Judas Priest on East German Steroids.

 

[Angrafan]

Same here... Awesome selection, man! Conception and Angra are the best power metal bands out there, IMO!

Even though Holy land and Flow aren't exactly power metal...

 

[MightyDrynwhyl]

Judas Priest and Iron Maiden even though they arent power metal

 

[mrbluelouboyle]

Fatal Smile , Sinner , Red Wine , and Jarra. Try Brimstone for a Power Metal band with a Death Metal vocalist. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!:Smug:
