The Power metal thread

[mutantllama]

Well we have a Thrash thread, a Black metal thread, and lots of death metal threads and I asked myself "why don't we have a Powermetal Thread"? Anyways I only started getting into it a few months ago and I love it. So far I like Blind Gaurdian, Demons and
Wizards, Iced Earth, Helloween and Sonata Artica.

Been diggin Celesty lately...want more Euro/Finnish flower metal like them. Suggestions??

 

[skeptik]

I'm going to have to start an 80s Power/Speed Metal thread...

 

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

No faggot. Stop being so nitpicky. Discussion of both styles should be tolerated here.

 

[skeptik]

I don't see the problem with having more specific threads. Don't get your panties in a bunch.

 

[Matt]

I suppose prog should be in here as well, huh?

Savatage rules. I picked up Hall of the Mountain King used the other day and it is awesome.

I'm not that big on the genre myself, but I recently heard Iron Savior and Angra. I recommend them both.

I love a good power metal band that stands out from the rest, but I've been too lazy to really delve into the genre.

I'll make sure to check them out also.

HoTMK is so fucking full of win.

I like Iced Earth and DragonForce, but that's about it. (and no, don't start up on me, saying they can't play and shit. I don't care if it's a 12-year-old piecing it together note-by-note on a laptop, the music still kicks ass.)

I'm not really big on the genre, I prefer Death/Black.

 

[Zephyrus]

Not my thing. Sorry.

My beginnings were in power metal, and though I am not much of a fan nowadays, Blind Guardian still lingers in the upper echelons of my favorite bands and I have a bit of a soft spot for early Helloween, Sonata Arctica, Symphony X, the Lord Weird Slough Feg, and many of the early speed/power/NWOBHM bands.

 

[genocide roach]

why would you come to a power metal thread if its not your thing?

anyways, i love power metal, and the cheesier the better. blind guardian is probably my favorite.

a new band i discovered is rob rock. i'll putting up a review of their new album shortly, but i like it. also check out the debut from dissidant saint, for a unique take on prog

[Zephyrus]

why would you come to a power metal thread if its not your thing?

Just to state my position on the subject.

 

[genocide roach]

Just to pad my post count.

sorry, had to
~gR~

I've made attempts at power metal in the past. I remember making a thread requesting some power metal entry bands for a black metal fan. I was recommended Stormlord and wasn't too impressed.

 

[genocide roach]

yeah, its not for everyone

although it kind of amuses me. most metalheads dont like power metal because of the clean vocals. and most average people dont like metal because of the dirty vocals
