power metal?

[dill_the_devil]

Once I saw a video clip by a band called Hammerheart to their song "Blood Bound" (I think so), and from that moment I knew that power metal is the most gayish metal genre ever.

That was Hammerfall. Shane Embury from Napalm Death was once drunk at a European outdoor festival, standing outside their coach and shouting 'Death to false metal!'

Judging all power metal by Hammerfall is a huge mistake. Hammerfall just might be one of the most generic PM bands of all time. And I say that even as an avid power metalhead.

Very well said. Bravo!

Well, thank you for the completment.

Ummmm.... am I the only one that likes power metal in this thread. Feels like it... *sigh*

*coughs, points to a couple of own posts*

They may be generic... but sometimes one or two generic bands can have their place.

Generic but decent is better than exceptionally bad (to the point you tear your own ears off, try to dig the memory out of you brain [using your bare hands] then give up and kill youself in the first way you see).

Ever heard Dragonland?

Make choices based on what YOU like, not what a load of theoretical other people say you should like. Don't discard and ignore it completely, but the main deciding factor should be you.

Ever heard Dragonland?

I liked their first two albums.

 

[Hatebreeder]

I like them too, but their vocalist is a bit over the top. Still, a good power metal band to say the least.

over the top?
that does not exist in powermetal.

 

[Ender Rises]

Agreed.
