Ok I couldnt find anywhere to put this so it's going here for now (until it gets moved).

Everyone has their own opinions and I understand that....but to discount a band because they are made up of members of other bands? That is seriously pathetic. I am stating this because there is a thread on this forum that got closed about the band Dark New Day. The thread started out about how much people loved their sound and message, then quicklt fell off the edge into something along the lines of 'well I hate them now because I found out they were all in other bands before this one'.
How is that signifigant in the least? Regardless of who they are, where they came from, etc- they are amazing musicians. It shouldnt matter if you were in a previous band....my god even the members of the 'almighty Tool' were in bands before that one, and have started other bands AFTER Tool got huge....bands that you wouldnt even know of or wouldnt exist if it hadnt been for their prior success.

'I loved them but I found out they were in bands before (aka 'supergroup') so now their sound and my opinion has changed dramatically'

Jesus people stop being so anti-label or whatever it is you want to call it.....great music is great music, and almost every band out there has members in it who played/play in other bands.....anyone out there a Foo Fighters fan too? Well maybe not if you adopt this outlook....

Sorry to interrupt all this roleplaying, but power metal is becoming a favourite of mine, and I'd like to ask the experts what decent power metal bands I'm missing out on, as I feel like expanding my CD collection some more.

My current PM collection consists of:

Angra
Avantasia
Blind Guardian
Dragonforce
Dragonland
Dream Evil
Edguy
Gamma Ray
Hammerfall
Helloween
Iced Earth (power metal?)
Kamelot
Lost Horizon
Manowar
Rhapsody
Running Wild
Sonata Arctica
Stratovarius
Therion

If it seems like too much to ask, it doesn't matter. I would post this in the recommendations thread but this thread would yield better results.

Shattered_Future

07-23-2005, 05:05 PM

Niiiiiiightwish!

Nightwish is not true power metal...however, they do the job nicely.

Starter albums: for more symphonic, Once. Otherwise, Wishmaster.

Also, Finntroll has power metal elements to them...

Stoic

07-23-2005, 05:07 PM

You've already checked out a great amount of bands (I havent :p) so you have a strong background.

I would STRONGLY suggest:
Sabaton (see upload on page 68)
Slough Feg (see upload on page 68 and even more on page 60)
Elvenking (see upload on page 67)
Tad Morose
Persuader
Wuthering Heights (see Steerpike's thread in the index)

07-23-2005, 05:10 PM

Ah, I actually have Nightwish's back catalogue, I just didn't list them as I wasn't sure if they were regarded as power metal.

A mistake on my behalf, my apologies, thanks for the suggestion though, I appreciate it.

I recommend...

Ensiferum
Wintersun
Human Fortress
Dungeon

As long as you like Nightwish... :p

If you're willing to forgo true power metal vocals for harsh vocals, Children Of Bodom, Norther, Kalmah and Wintersun are also good.

yeah, they have thousands of cheap CDs. I really know nothing about world wide postage though. If you see something you've been looking for for a long time it's worth the money I suppose.

Power metal is an outgrowth of Speed Metal. The lyrics are usually what define the genre, since they focus on war, mythology, heavy metal, bravery, honour, and death. Basically, it's Heavy Metal for D&D folks. Great genre, though.

2. Upload the mp3s one at a time. Go to yousendit.com, click choose file, choose file, and click send it.

You had used a more accurate word to describe this vocal style. Ideal, aggressive power vocalists for me are Dio, Russell Allen and Hansi Kursch.

Shattered_Future

I never liked The Misfits much...don't know why.

One of my best new songs I've heard is either Victoria's Secret by Sonata Arctica or Taking Back My Soul by Arch Enemy. The former because of its beautiful nature and great leads, the latter because of its great leads and unrelenting assault manner.

EDIT: Amen to the second part of that. Keys are great, but it's WAY too hard to find a decent keyboard player who can actually DO all that.

My band has a keyboard player...he's decent, but not up to the level of most power metal songs. I don't think ANY of my band is. :upset:

I was on the verge of going off on one when I read this, but I won't. Let me put it like this; you're wrong. You can not like her voice - it's your opinion, but to say that her voice isn't powerful is not gonna hold up. I think Nightwish is perfect as it is; the very thought of Bruce Dickinson fronting the band fills me with horror.

I never could get into Symphony X. I tried after hearing comparisons with DT, and when I was starting to listen to power metal, but their music just really isn't very interesting to me...it's a shame, considering how instrumentally talented they are. :/

Yeh, I know what is like when some band just doesnt "click" you. I'm not sure if they're similar to Dream Theater (not familiar with them) but I really like them. Strong and nice vocals too.

I can't see how people are comparing DT and Symphony X. They're both progressive metal, but they don't sound anything alike.

Is Arch Enemy powermetal? :confused:
I haven't heard them, anyway.

No, they're melodeath. You haven't heard of them? They're an awesome band, you're missing out. I'll put some stuff up for you.

And the singer for Symphony X is Russel Allen, he can pull off classical type singing and then get his voice to have an aggressive edge when the band's doing heavier stuff. The difference in how he sings in these two songs is crazy.

the only thing comparable imo is the instruments they use, because they both have the same type of instruments: singing vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards, and drums.

Everything else is a matter of opinion, and symphony is more progressive power metal and more metal than DT, while DT is more progressive rock/metal, and moreso on the rock side. Both are great bands though, it's just a matter of opinion on how you compare them.

I've tried about 5 Google searches to try and track down the lyrics and come up empty-handed. The lyrics aren't even available on the band's website, and Metal Archives is still down so it's no good turning there.

Does anyone have the lyrics to this song? It's driving me nuts that I can't find them anywhere.

Precisely the same for me.I heard a few BG songs and went out and bought NIME and ANATO and on my first listen through ANATO I didn't really get into any of the songs except Battlefield.Of course after a couple more listens I learned to love every song on there, but Battlefield is still my favorite.I just love the "I will not move yet" part so much.The drumming in particular.

Most power metal bands do for me.It always takes a few listens to really enjoy.It is definately my favorite genre for that sole reason, because once I fully soak everything in, and let the music grow on me, it's pure nirvana.Like Falconer, when I first heard The Coronation I couldn't like it because of his overly pompous voice.But after about five listens, I couldn't stop listening to it BECAUSE of his voice.Ahh the majestic wonder that is power metal.

haha this song's awesome, I feel like singing along with the chorus whenever I hear it. Well, I decided to take a shot at this, and I'm missing two parts. I'm hoping those might have been the parts that someone else might havefigured out, so I'll post what I have anyway.

Don't let your hearts be against us,
Cause if you have pity on us
Before
God will have mercy unto you
Forgiven all upon you do,
Your guiding hand through coming days in war.
If you call us brothers,
You are not have to disdain even though we were killed

Chorus

Watch them shed too many tears,
When you find you're spending the
!%$#^*#@%??
But they lay between bodies burned,
Battered, shattered and broken,
Over corpses once had spoken
Freezing ice cold full moon
*** hand and holy fist
Distant hills shrouded in sheaths of mist

It's nothing more than a bloody masquerade....

I'm pretty sure about most of it. Some of it might not make too much sense, but then again it doesn't sound like english is Jioti's first language. I might be completely off though, and corrections are muchly appreciated.

chorus

there's nothing proud on this bloody masquerade
we were not riders from hell
who died for dominion

as the horns of freedom tear apart the rites of mortal man
black seed rise across battlefield

the first bit sounds like "lives like this blood company"

and the second word sounds like "hunts" I think that's what it is anyway
and it should be battered, "slaughtered" and broken not "shattered" I think

why? :(

Alex finally! Do you have AIM or MSN?

Steerpike

08-11-2005, 12:36 PM

Because metal bands very rarely come through either Pittsburgh or Baltimore.

Anyway, yes, I have IM's, but I hate using them. The last time I brought up AIM, it locked my computer up for 15 minutes as it tried to shove a bunch of pop-ups past all my security software.

Ocassionally. I just really hate IM. They're all clunky, counterintuitive, and drive my security software apeshit insane.

*sigh*

you can see my e-mail (the yahoo thing) on my profile in case you feel like talking or shamelessly whoring a band or something. You're such a nice guy :)

well I bet you wont send me anything ( :p ) so could I have an e-mail address? I wont be too annoying :D

but I know how much his computer sucks :p

Stoic

My computer sucks more than everyone else's still I have no problem with MSN.

I wonder how I will react when I find myself in a BG live show. I guess I'm gonna burst into tears...:(

Steerpike

08-12-2005, 10:34 AM

Any time I bring up an IM, it slows my computer down dramatically. During this time, it can't even perform the simplest tasks without problems coming up. Just switching to a different window becomes the technological equivalent of an 80-year-old man trying to take a dump after eating nothing but pizza for a week.

Anyone got 'Sword and diamonds' by cryonic temple? i was thinking of getting it but not sure if i should...

Stoic

08-14-2005, 09:25 AM

have you listened to anything by Cryonic Temple?

shadow_stalker

08-14-2005, 09:28 AM

All i have heard is inquisition (from that album), their site wont let me get any other songs for some reason

EDIT: yey i have found where to listen to more songs, sounds pretty good, i may get the album

Stoic

08-14-2005, 09:39 AM

heh, this is the only song I've listened by them thank to an upload (Lord Brum I think) in the power FG. Judging from this song alone I think it's an album I would buy. A few bands play this style of power (=old school helloween esque power/speed) nowadays.

shadow_stalker

08-14-2005, 09:40 AM

I suppose a could upload a couple of songs but it may take some time because I have to rip them

last copy ha? :mad:

Meh i will look round the net and see what i can dig up on them, if all else fails i will go to their website might have something there

08-14-2005, 10:01 AM

a song coming, watch this post :)

When I first heard the helloween solos and harmonies I cried...

Cried in a good way or bad way? :lol:

Stoic

08-14-2005, 10:27 AM

haha in a good way of course. There are some bands/songs that touch you so much the very first time you listen to them that you burst into tears. Helloween, Judas Priest, Sabaton, Windir and Dissection are a few examples for me

Halloween

Eagle fly free

Stoic

I'll upload some more as soon as I'm done with something I'm downloading.

You're welcome :) I expected Helloween to be more popular among the power metallers of this forum but it seems they're always overlooked for some reason. Sure I'm not the greatest fan but at least Walls of Jericho, the two Keepers and the Dark Ride are not to be missed.

Hello Mr! You know real band members are like heroes to me! I remember a while back you came here in Greece supporting megadeth, how was the experience?!

:D

To be honest, it was sorta depressing!

Athens was so awesome but we were there for such a short period of time we never got to see anything! From our hotel room we could see heaps of places we wanted to go but because of our stupidly tight schedule we pretty much flew in, caught the shuttle bus to the venue, played the show, went back to the hotel to sleep for 2 hours before flying out to Germany the next day!

That whole part of the tour was like that - we did Serbia and Romania before then and we didn't even have a hotel room for those dates, we slept at the airport! So you can imagine how tired we were by the time we got to Greece...

Having said all of that, we had an awesome time on stage and everyone we met was really cool. Hopefully we'll get a chance to stay a little longer next time we're in the country. :)
