Resurrected Power Metal Thread

[Einherjar86]

Interesing. Thanks for investigating!

Thought I'd resurrect the resurrected power metal thread. Been digging these guys lately.

Crom impress.
Wait, does 'Crom' refer to the singer alone, as in his name is Crom? Why are there like a billion metal bands called Crom. bah.

That's good but really gay but still good. More fun than good, but then again power metal is all about being fun. His voice is weird; it sounds like he's having trouble moving his lips to form sounds, as he gets the pitch more or less correctly but slurs everything - not an accent so much as a slur.

Also, considering that he's the only current studio member I would assume that Crom refers to him, yes.

 

[Einherjar86]

His voice is more exact on other parts of the record. It is really fun, cheesy stuff; but damn it's catchy.

Snowy Shaw fucking rules, wrote this entire thing. Except the lyrics.

Sounds like he went to the James Hetfield school of "How to make your vocals shit and lame"

 

[Orion Crystal Ice]

Listen to Dark At Dawn plz, or die by the hands of the false ones.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Vocalist is horrible. Sounds like a shitty version of Sabaton's singer.

 

[Orion Crystal Ice]

quiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite the opposite tbh...Sabaton..

the tr00ness is t00 heavy for your soul this night. you must go and rest. go. rest.

 

[Einherjar86]

OCI, how do you not dig Sabaton? They're ballsy as fuck.

And I'm sorry but I agree about Dark At Dawn's vocalist. He sounds like he's trying to take a shit.

 

[Liisa]

The Dark at Dawn vocals reminded me of this..



Kinda similar but slower.. Before i'm attacked...
I ent Fascist btw.

 

[waif]

Don't see how. That song is pretty bad tbh.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Wow, that is awful.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Dark at Dawn, not a fan of those vocals.
I wish I could sing for a band like that. very heavy power metal with a super clean high voice would kick so much ass

 

[JGMetalhead]

Symphonic Power anyone??? Any thoughts on Nightwish and Luca Turilli?

 

[Einherjar86]

Both great, I think, although Turilli's most recent is a serious disappointment. I have no idea what happened on that record.

For symphonic power I also enjoy:
Kamelot
Rhapsody
Thy Majestie
Therion (their later stuff has a more power/traditional sound)
Avantasia (The Metal Opera albums)
Virgin Steele (they get symphonic sometimes)

And what the hell, Sabaton has a symphonic sound sometimes.

 

[JGMetalhead]

Yea... I'm starting to get into nightwish, epica, and dark moor alot more now. I have to say. These girls can sing and don't get me wrong. I find it totally freaking epic.

 

[Einherjar86]

Not a fan of Epica, but Dark Moor can be fun.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Dark Moor - The Hall of Olden Dreams is fucking good.

 

[JGMetalhead]

Hit me up if you know any bands related to nightwish. I'm willing to try anything new rather. I need to extend my power metal list in general.
