I think Extreme Power Metal makes sense, and it's way easier to say than Power/speed with harsh vocals. Kalmah though has a much more dissonant sound than the others, and more blastbeats. It's hard to hear any upbeat powermetal melodies like in the others.

True, Extreme Power Metal sounds good. But I do think they have a little thrash (in their older stuff) and some melodeth in them.

Kalmah is different, but I don't think they are different [I]enough[/I] to be considered entirely in another genre.

What about Extremetal? :p

Picked up Dream Evil's "The Book Of Heavy Metal" yesterday. Fuc[COLOR=White]k[/COLOR]ing great album...plus, it came with a DVD that was entertaining. Studio and live footage and whatnot.

Their guitarist (forgot his name) starts playing with his teeth at one point...extremely funny.

The #1 source for lots of music. :p

Download "The Book Of Heavy Metal". Cheesiest lyrics ever, but it's got a great feel to it...it almost has a "march" type beat.

They aren't like....Dragonforce cheesy are they? :p

I've heard of the band, they have more heavy metal influence than powermetal influence.

[QUOTE=Taste_My_Scythe]They aren't like....Dragonforce cheesy are they? :p[/QUOTE]

Nooooo...


MUCH much worse. :p

Unbelievable music though.

I think on their earlier releases, Dream Evil had more of a power metal influence...however, this one IS more traditional metal sounding than power metal.

Yet they still have the power metal outfits (ie medieval wargear).

I love the cheesiness of power metal sometimes. That fantasy feeling is great.

Yea...Google Images them, and it turns up some fuc[COLOR=White]k[/COLOR]ed out pictures...

[QUOTE=Sliptallica]I love the cheesiness of power metal sometimes. That fantasy feeling is great.[/QUOTE]

Cheesiness is an element in power metal IMO.

Where can I listen to them? I didn't see anywhere

[QUOTE=Taste_My_Scythe]Where can I listen to them? I didn't see anywhere[/QUOTE]

If the link takes you directly to the Century Media homepage...

Click the audio link up top, then scroll down to D...and they should be under Dream Evil.

The link for the Book of Metal didn't work. Grr. Ah well

Meh, i got time before my pizza comes...ill upload it.

[QUOTE=Animosity]Cheesiness is an element in power metal IMO.[/QUOTE]

Indeed and I try to avoid it as much as possible :p

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]Meh, i got time before my pizza comes...ill upload it.[/QUOTE]

Pizza! Lucky bastard.

Thanks!

Parents go out, I can't cook...pizza night. :cool:

It's gonna have bacon on it...pure sweetness on bread.

Enjoy. :thumb:

what, he'll upload the book of heavy metal? Dream evil heavily reminds me of Dio (maybe because of their vocalist). Cheesy as hell but still fun.

I love having a lot of meat on my pizza, especially bacon sausage and ham.

I love hawian pizza too, so good...

PIZZA'S HERE!!! :D

Once for my birthday, i got a meat pizza instead of a cake...it was great.

Anyone ever check out Dark Moor? I really like it besides the singing, I'm not much for female vocalists.

I had that happen to me once, it was my pizza and i didnt get a bloody bite!


woot 4000 posts!:chug:

well I went to [url]www.metal-archives.com[/url] to see if there were any bands with the label Extreme Powermetal, and I found this band called Mourn in Silence. It's really good. The vocals are closer to blackmetal than Bodom's are. It sounds a lot like a Bodom sort of thing jsut a bit more symphonic. Go to their site for some mp3's, it's good stuff.

song suggestions:
Journey Through the Dark
Mordred's Song
Mirror Mirror

[QUOTE=planet_caravan]hey i know this aint a reccomendation thread but i want to know some good power metal bands?[/QUOTE]

Blind Guardian's already been suggested. So...

Wuthering Heights
Lost Horizon
Edguy
Helloween
Gamma Ray
Running Wild
Sabaton
Savatage

That should keep you busy for a while.

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]Oooooo, female power metal...
[/QUOTE]

I'm all for it! :)
I've recently been listening to power metal more than death now. I think it's because I keep getting songs and recommendations from this thread.

Have you seen the recent talk of Sabaton lately? They're a group from Sweden that sings about wars.

No, I must've missed that. How far back is it?

A couple pages, I think. I can't really remember, it was only a few posts.

page 57 :thumb:

GO LISTEN TO SABATON NOW!
[SIZE=1]and post feedback[/SIZE]

In 48 hours, Wuthering Heights will be up in the new spotlight as well. Let's hope I can get my modem working by then so I can give you all the uploads.

.... Huh. Took the wireless longer to black out than usual that time.
