wainds what's the album in your avatar?

 

[just metal]

Yeah, I agree. Lance King is one of my favorite power metal vocalists. Still, I like mid-range vocalists too.

You should check out Powerwolf Krig; the vocalist sings in a high register, but he has a fucking badass voice.

my list hasn't changed

 

[Caecius]

I'm interested to listen to the lists people provide as I don't listen to any power metal.

 

[Einherjar86]

Orden Ogan's Easton Hope is definitely my favorite power metal album of the year so far, and is probably in my top five for the past several years.

 

[razoredge]

Top five things I didnt know:

I didnt know there were five great power metal albums

I didnt know Savatage was powermetal

I didnt know Fates Warning was powermetal

I didnt know there was any good Dragonfarce

I didnt know any of this

 

[DarkBliss]

But now you do. Or at least led to believe the dubious truth. Uhmm, how needlessly profound and over-thought.

 

[Badbird]

1 the least gay power metal album







5 the most gay power metal album

 

[DarkBliss]

I stopped making the distinction between "gay" and non-gay. Stupidly derogatory terms coined by sexually frustrated teenagers.

 

[razoredge]

but it would seem the power metal chorus that has become quite formulated could be seen as having a degree of gayity
