Power Metal

[Ganso88]

I'm a big fan of bands like Kamelot, Firewind, Blind Guardian, Hammerfall, Stratovarius, Iced Earth, Rhapsody of Fire. What other bands/albums would you guys recommend looking at? I like the clean vocal style of power metal, and the instrumental style that these bands have. I'm especially a big fan of Kamelot.
