Power Quest - Who else?

[power_metal_lover]

Hey

I havent been in the power metal genre for so long, so I'm not so into which bands there are.

I have almost destroyed my Power Quest cds cuz of to much listning,

So my question, do you Power Quest fans know other bands that sounds almost as good as Power Quest? What do you listen to? I want to find bands that have the same sound.

I just love when its speed, much synth, and high song... plz help me out.

Regards

Dreamtale, Dionysus, Dragonforce, Freedom Call, Gamma Ray and Sonata Arctica are bands you should check out for Power Quest similarities.

Yup can't really add to that.

Try Cellador if you like the DragonForcey speed side of things. Stick to PQ, Sonata, Dionysus if you like the melodic side of things.

[corrupted old gnom]

Insania Stockholm, Timeless Miracle, Olympos Mons, Nightscape.

since you mentioned olympos mons...i have to check out the other three bands listed!!

 

[PowerForce]

I'd recommend DragonForce as Power Quest is well some Ex members and Sam Totman was in them for a bit. Also Edguy (Tobi's Vocals FTW), Rhapsody (of fire), firewind and if you like a more medieval touch to your music Blind Guardian + Demons and Wizards.

 

[dragonwarrior]

Cant really add to that list apart from maybe Heavenly.

 

[corrupted old gnom]

they were never called power metal...but i'd like to name two bands that aren't that well known - yet released some of the best albums ever:
chroming rose (especially "louis xiv.)
heaven's gate (especially "in control" and "livin' in hysteria")

 

[Symphony]

A band I really like is Highland Glory...and did anyone mention Axenstar?

 

[corrupted old gnom]

highland glory made a great contribution to the running wild tribute contest...but i'm not even sure if they made it on the record
