I like Mandrake (Tears of a Mandrake!?) best.

I only recently got The Metal Opera Part 1 and I was pretty disapointed actually. I only listened to it a couple of times and forgot about it. I might listen to it now.

I'll post again in an hour or so. :p

[QUOTE=FrailandBedazzled1979]really pricey online, i will add it to the list.

Avantasia uses differnet vocalsits but they dont range in black or death metal lol. I think Tobias put alot more effort with Avantasia than he does with Edguy...well, the hellfire club was the best Edguy album to date IMO which just came out hehe, he said he isnt sure if hed ever do a Metal Opera part 3 :([/QUOTE]

Avantasia are actually quite good. And yes, gathering 10 + guest vocalists per album would be quite difficult, i think, but it does make the band. Pretty much the cream of the crop as far as power metal goes, Kai Hansen, David Defies, awesome :D... I'm going to put it on after i finish with some Iron Savior

NP: Iron Savior - Condition Red.

I also thought this was funny...

haha, i said they are good!! you might have messed up the translation lol, i said Tobias put more effort into Avantasia than Edguy IMO...i got into Edguy because of Avantasia and all of hte Edguy albums cant compare to those two :) The metal opera pt.2 is one of my favourite power metal cds!!

thats a cool one, id but "hellfire club" and "the vain glory opera" in front of "mandrake" though, but its better than "theatre of salvation" which is more wattered down.

I got into Edguy from Avantasia too.



I'm listening to the song Around by Kotipelto and it owns anything he ever did in Strat. :D

We gotta keep this thread alive people (I love it, I discover new bands), we're a minority here.


< :eek:

I've run out of bands to talk about. :upset:

Let's discuss singers, after all, singing is one of the defining characteristics of Power Metal. My favorite would be Fabio Leone from Rhapsody, his control of the vibrato is amazing, very operatic; I also like Kotipelto's voice and he has an amazing range.

Kotipelto i find to be the most intresting and enjoyable singer in power metal, personal preferance i know, but his style and way of holding a note really hits home to me. Fabio i love to death, Luca'a vocalist on his solo albums can not compare to Fabio's voice, very inspiring when he sings with such confidence.

Heres a few more to mention: Chris Bay (freedom call) Mathius Blad (falconer) and Daniel Heiman (lost horizon).

PS: lets weigh the pros and cons with Helloween's vocalists: Michael Kiske and Andreas Deris.

Sadly, I don't know too much about Helloween. Can you recommend some songs by them (with both vocalists) so we can discuss? :)

I like Kiske best out of the two.


Russel Allen is my favourite vocalist though.

well there are SO MANY good ones to pick from, obviously i cant please everyone haha. yes, i like that one alot as well...that was off the top of my head so im sure ill kick myself when i look at my cd's. hehe.

Has anyone see the film clip for Book of Heavy Metal by Dream Evil?
It's the greatest thing ever put to film! :amaze:

The power metal vocalist i like the most is the one in dream theater... and i agree about the guy from sonata artictias accent being tight.

if you consider bodom power then laiho is my favorite vocalist in the genre... but hes not singing power metally regardless. the thing i always think about when i hear him or other death metal stuff... what would it be like to be their kid and being yelled at? i know i'd piss my pants if my dad yelled at me like that.

Dream Theater ain't PM.

well, Alexi's vocal style is defiently black metal. which i love black metal to death, and Bodom are one of my favourite bands...power metal melodies with thrashy guitars and raspy black metal vocals :) James Labrie from DT isnt a power metal singer either, they are a prog-metal band, and IMO hes the weakest link in DT (possibly tied with Portnoy hehe) and yes i love Tony Kakko's (from sonata artica) voice very much but at times the band really lags in terms of song quality...strong musicains yes but songwriters they could use some work ive always thought, but im still a fan :)

What's the best Sonata Artica album Frail? I have Songs of Silence Live in Tokyo which I bought by accident. I like it but it's pretty raw.

Has anyone heard the New Rhapsody EP starring Christopher Lee?

Its apparently the start of a new Rhapsody.
