Girls, Kamelot existed before "the fourth Legacy" and "Karma".
Their firsat two albums "Eternity" and "Dominion" are excellent US power albums. Esp. "Eternity" is one of the best debuts ever. Very reminiscent of Crismson Glory's great era!
As for Power Metal recomentations. Well all this Europower trlalala sound is becoming very boring and repeatitive.

Check:
Shadowkeep (GB like Crimson Glory/Quuensryche)
Zandelle (US power)
Gothic Knights (US power)
Steel Prophet (US Power like early Fates Warning)
Early Fates Warning are the gods in power metal.
Destiny's End
Helstar
Crimson Glory
Jag Panzer except "Dissident Alliance" which sux
Tad Morose
AngelDust
Morgana Lefay / Lefay

Many more if you want. Real Power Metal not the Euro "Helloween/BG/Rhapsody" clusters. Most of them suck, because they are totally unoriginal.
