Power Metal

[As-I-Lay-Dying]

Glad U like
Love how the song goes from a fast and almost brutal riff into a Sabbath style breakdown in the middle...and the lyrics . "Stab his ass, Remind the past, of what the fuck, we live for...OUR FUCKING SELVES!" ...love that shit and how I miss it.

I only have Re-inventing hell.
What album should I get next?

Edguy are my favourite power metal band. I don't really listen to much power metal.

Well Id say get them all...but you say you liked F'n Hostile so def. get Vulgar Display followed by Far Beyond. Live 101Proof is killer as well. Fuck it, just download those and whatever you like just buy afterwards. You cant lose with any of them.
Ever heard of Down?

We're on the same page mate NOLA is still on my top 5 favorite albums. Raw, drug-induced Sabbath riffs with a southern blues flare. Do yourself a favor and check out NOLA as well.

Blind Guardian, Sonata Arctica, pre-Elements Stratovarius and Symphony X are the only power metal bands I actively condone. Most others do not interest me that much

^ Try "Use My Third Arm" off of Far Beyond if youve never heard that album. The best Pantera song and possibly heaviest. Glad to hear you respect them as one of the best ever. U know whats up!!

Guess I don't know what's up then. I got nothing against the guitarist, but I don't honor Pantera as anything special.

ack

I think they were a great band.
Not the greatest.
But a great band.

Metal Church

How is that power metal? Imo they're thrash metal.

Blind Guardian, Sonata Arctica, pre-Elements Stratovarius and Symphony X are the only power metal bands I actively condone. Most others do not interest me that much

Ever tried Slough Feg or Hammers of Misfortune? They're great and really unique for power metal definitly very different compared to most power metal bands.

I guess Sabbat is thrash and Metal Church is heavy...

Sabbat is thrash yes, the very best it has to offer.

Metal Church, a heavy/thrash mix I suppose.

 

[skeptik]

You can call them pretty much anything.

heavy/thrash???

1st and 2nd albuns aren't

 

[audiophileguy]

I prefer American Power, however, europe has a lot of good overlooked gems as well.
Attack for ex.

Power can be a wonderful style of music and anyone who dismisses it cause of the vocals or whatever is missing out.

 

[Vitor]

many people have called Rhapsody and Edguy power metal, but i guess they are melodic power metal

 

[Blue_Jay]

lol

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

jag panzer is awesome

symphony x is awesome, russell allen is a great singer

I've tried a couple of Slough Feg songs and been impressed, but unfortunately have not gotten a chance to delve deeper into their discography.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

power metal is some fucking awesome driving music

I was listening to judas priest (speed/heavy metal, whatever) , jag panzer, symphony x and morgana lefay today in the car
