I made an awesome list of awesome US Power Metal a month or so ago, I suppose I'll go look for it.

Nightwish is epic/opera metal.

 

[CF87]

I thought epic and opera are key elements in power metal.

1. epic
2. opera
3. fantasy

 

[Hatebreeder]

Epic and opera metal are defined by their usage of live orchestras. Power metal in its "tr00" form is more straightforward, like Helloween and Hammerfall.

 

[CF87]

Opera is also defined by vocals.

 

[Hatebreeder]

Obviously. But the vocals in opera and power metal are similar and people sometimes cannot tell the difference.

Instead of seperating them just leave something as 'power metal'. All the bands are influenced by metal and opera. There is no reason to try and make a distinction between opera metal and power metal. That's stupid because both go hand in hand. Bands that are epic with operatic vocals are the same genre regardless how it's done. Nightwish and Blind Guardian are power metal and influenced by 'opera'. Regardless that both bands sound nothing alike it's the same genre. Evergrey has opera and metal and sound nothing like these 2 bands.

Regardless it's still the same genre.

 

[Killbot]

Nightwish and Blind Guardian are power metal and influenced by 'opera'.

I'd describe nightwish as more 'gay metal'.... actually, remove the metal.

 

[CF87]

They are gay but the vocals and guitar are power metal. When was power metal not gay anyways. Nightwish is not any more gay than hammerfall,etc...

 

[IWP]

Is Symphony X considered to be power metal?

 

[Astrum]

helloween. what a stupid name. but someone had to use it eventually.

see, when i have a band, im going to name it something original and cool sounding. take the name Reizvoll, for example. it means sexy in german.
