[QUOTE=sensitiveorgan00]I heard a few songs. They were, meh, alright. I found them pretty boring though, but I guess I'll have to give it a better listen.

Oh, I got Jag Panzer - Thane to the Throne a few days ago, pretty good so far. I don't think I listened to all of it yet.[/QUOTE]

Just because I liked it doesn't mean you have to, if you think it was boring, then you still succeeded in giving me your opinion.

So, being that I already have Something Wicked and Horror Show, should my next Iced Earth purchase be Dark Saga or Glorious Burden? I've heard good things about both, and I'll probably have both at some time, but what should be first?

I'm not sure if Dungeon are Power Metal, but I've been told they are. If anyone has any songs by them, could they send me a couple.

Thanks :)

I'd say those are two of the weaker Iced Earth albums, have you tried "Night of the Stormrider" or "Burnt Offerings" yet??

Norther owns all other power metal in my opinion

[QUOTE=Eleventeen]Norther owns all other power metal in my opinion[/QUOTE]
You haven't heard much power metal then. Northerr are good, (one of my all time favs in power metal) but there are better bands such as Blind Guardian and Guardians of Time.

Well true, but I like the death style vocals :/

Yes, Blind Guardian > Norther.

Edit: Great to see the power metal thread revived.

Dark Ride is a grand cd, just got it last week.

I'm all for getting into new bands, and I'm gonna try make my next CD run all power metal, so can you guys think of a few specific CDs I should get? All the PM I have so far is Blind Guardian, Kalmah, Norther, and CoB. I like the cleaner singing stuff a little better BTW. Sorry if this has been asked in this thread already.

Edguy- Hellfire Club
Kamelot- The Fourth Legacy
Angra- Rebirth
Rhapsody- Symphony of Enchanted Lands
Hammerfall- Crimson Thunder
Lost Horizon- A Flame to the Ground Beneath
Manowar- Kings of Metal
Nightwish- Once

That should do it.

I recommand Helloween, Lost Horizon, Edguy, Avantasia, Dream Evil, Primal Fear and Symphony X.

By the way I wouldn't call CoB power metal.

Don't start the CoB argument, in these forums they're Power Metal w/Harsh Vocals.

Thank you, and nobody really cares what genre CoB is, because they exist, and that's all that matters.

anyone else heard Rhapsodys Knight rider of doom?
the start is very fast and dramatic, their really cheesey but i really dont care
i think their great, check out agony is my name 2.

Dark saga...
much closer to something wicked.
and brilliant too

a question of heaven and the hunter are on there
what more can you want?

can you reccomend some blind gaurdian please?
I tried the offical rec. thread but got no response

[QUOTE=jcs497]Thank you, and nobody really cares what genre CoB is, because they exist, and that's all that matters.[/QUOTE]

Nobody cares, but I still say they're power-death, which is what I refer to Kalmah, Norther, CoB, and other bands to that nature collectively as.

Why? Because it's power metal music with harsh vocals, and ignorant people call that Death because of the vocals soley, it's like Lamb Of God being called Death, so why not make a compramise and say it hase elements of both genres?

NP: Manticora - Help Me Like No One Can

A couple of things to say about that...

THAT SONG ****ING OWNS! A DRAGONFORCE THAT DOESNT HAVE THE SAME RIFFS ALL THE TIME, AND IS NOT ALWAYS HAPPY? HELL YES!

well i now have the whole of dragonforce's album "sonic firestorm" saved on my computer after i borrowed it from a friend, i will buy it next time im in town as it is amazing. i just thought i would share that with you lot.

It is amazing.

'For victory we ride, fury of the storm!'

/Cue happy shreds.

I have only just recently started getting into power metal with my purchase of Hatebreeder. What should I get now?

[QUOTE=Sliptallica]I have only just recently started getting into power metal with my purchase of Hatebreeder. What should I get now?[/QUOTE]

Rhapsody, Evergrey, Angra, Symphony X, Primal Fear,

Ask me if you want to know good albums by these bands

And for Bands like Bodom, basically: Norther and Kalmah

Hey, anyone listened to Helloween's last album "Rabbit Don't Come Easy" ?
I heard it was crap, what do you think?

ive never actually listened to helloween.

to Sliptallica: try iron maiden (yes they are power metal, listen to the lyrics if you dont agree with me), dragonforce, hammerfall
they would be a good starting point.
and get follow the reaper by children of bodom.
