Alright, Galloglass' first album [I]Legends From Now And Nevermore[/I] might be more to your liking, because on [I]Heavenseeker[/I] they went into a more thrashy mood.

As for Running Wild, you cannot go past either [I]Port Royal[/I] or [I]Black hand Inn[/I], especially if you like Gamma Ray.

I'll check those out.

Legends From Now and Nevemore is such a good album. Galloglass are definitely up there in my favorite power metal bands.

And that's why you're cool, Jammie. Much cooler than the rest of these "power metal" fans. :p

Okay, so I'm listening to Galloglass, and I have to say that it's pretty good.

LFNAN > Heavenseeker. It doesn't suffer from the massive overproduction issues that the latter has.

:cool: <3

You guys put me int eh mood of some power metal. I need to get some more albums.

okay, im just getting into power metal, and the only bands i know of are Stratovarius, Savatage (if they count), Dragonforce, and Dream Theater (again, if they count)
suggest some other good power metal bands

Rhapsody of Fire, Blind Guardian and Gamma Ray.

Dream Theater are definitely not, but Savatage in the '90s were definitely power metal. I'd suggest going onto Galloglass, Helloween, Gamma Ray, and Dungeon. I know you already like Running Wild, so you should be fine with Galloglass.

Sabaton
Blind Guardian (highly recommended)
Sonata Arctica
Nightwish (highly recommended)
Galloglass
Running Wild
Lost Horizon
Symphony X (a bit proggier than the rest, but still unbelievable)
Adagio (again, like Symphony X)
Dream Evil
Dungeon
Edguy
Therion
Iced Earth
Kamelot (highly recommended)
Rhapsody

That should be good for starters. :thumb:

Well, if we're doing the lists:

Bolded are my favourite ones, the rest range from average to good power metal.

Andromeda
Angra
[B]Blind Guardian[/B]

No Edguy for Riva ?

Damn, I need to get an Angra album, Therion album, the Firewind album, and the Dungeon album. Yeah...

A lot of stuff, Riva :p

Oops, forgot Edguy.

Edguy is awesome.

The Avantasia albums were sweet too.



NP: Artillery - The Challenge

Artillery \m/

Yeah, they slay. I actually just recently got into them. I need more thrash.

I don't Avantasia as much as Edguy stuff.

True, I forgot about those.
[QUOTE=pate]I don't Avantasia as much as Edguy stuff.[/QUOTE]
I'm the other way around. I like Edguy, but Avantasia is something special.

[QUOTE=Riva;13643734]Bolded are my favourite ones, the rest range from average to good power metal.
Sonata Arctica[/QUOTE]

how dare you not put Sonata in bold? :angry:

on a side note, amazon have finally started stocking more Tarot than just 'suffer our pleasure' so im one happy camper...not that im a camper...

Edguy are good stuff. I've only heard one full album though:Theatre of Salvation. Along with a bunch of other songs. The album is good, tohugh a few songs kinda bore me...

Damn, I forgot to put Tarot in my list.

ToS took a couple listens for me to get into, but its a really...nice (for lack of a better word) album, its not much compared to mandrake or hellfire club though


np: flogging molly - seven deadly sins (not power metal in the slightest but such a cool song)

I gotta say...same here. I remember when I first listened to the album, I was disapointed. But now, I really enjoy it.

I havn't heard much from Madrake to be honest...

Mandrake is an unbelievable album. Get it. Now.

Okay :)

I'll look into it.

I'm sorry to break the trend, but I really don't absolutely love Edguy to pieces like the rest of you guys. I find them to be the same as Stratovarius, a good listen but not something I think "I have to listen to them now!"

I don't worship them. Though, I rather them to Stratovarius. Though, I must get myself Episode. Oh, I just remembered, why are Stratovarius albums so damn expensive ?

When I get in the mood for some Edguy, it's very good stuff.

I don't love them to pieces, but I love the fact that they don't take themselves too seriously. It's good, fun, and hella catchy music.

I can't stand Stratovarius though, aside from the few instrumental tracks. They're extremely boring to me.

Elements Part 1, which is generally a boring album, is a good listen about...once every 5 months.

:p

Stratovarius live are awesome.

/Feels like a n00b in here :p

I like [I]Destiny[/I] the best out of Statovarius' catalogue. Rebel and the title track are killer songs.

I worship certain Edguy songs...and my favorite album is Rocket Ride. /runs

Man, this Edguy talk put me in the mood :p

I should borrow my girlfriends copy of Destiny one day...

I should borrow your girlffriend some day...:p

/Is drunkzz

You're not drunk, you say **** like that all the time :lol:

....Ok :(

</3

i think im one of the only people around here that doesnt like Stratovarious, lots of people i talk to tell me they are one of the definitive power metal bands, but whenever i listen to them i just feel board.


any of you guys ever lsitend to axxis? i've been told by a couple of people they are really good but never really listend to them

[QUOTE=Txus;13649997]....Ok :(

</3[/QUOTE]

It was a joke Mikey :( A Joke !

Oh, and Riva, you know whebn we were talking about which IE album we considered more Power Metal ? In the Viking thread ? Well, I forgot about mentioning it there...What about The Glorious Burden ? Tim's vocals add a big power metal feel to it at times IMO. Though, once again, I wouldn't go and call a all out power metal album, heh.

Just thought I'de add this here...
