Was just listening to some Therion and was wondering if this is powermetal. It has some of the elements but not all. The vocals could go for powermetal nowadays and the guitarwork could be powermetal. The themes they use for the lyrics too but still there (what I know) not called a powermetal band.

Do you guys consider Nevermore Power Metal?

[QUOTE=Mastodon-Leviathan]Do you guys consider Nevermore Power Metal?[/QUOTE]

Most do. They're kind of like Iced Earth, with a fine line between power and thrash. But yeah, they're most commonly put in with power metal.

I would call half their stuff Thrash, Half Power. Thrash/Power Metal.

Nevermore are in fact a mix of various genres ranging from death to power. I just call label them as progressive :p

I just call them awesome. :)

indeed! One of the few american bands that deserve the media attention they get!

is Mercenary power metal or death metal?

jesus, couldnt you find a less challenging band? They're a blend as well and they differ a lot from traditional power. They do have a power touch though.

/confused :p

Don't know any other power metal. But I once got an angra song and it was so da.mn gay I had to delete it. Right away. And then take a shower


Cheers to that. Helloween and primal fear kick a$$ too. Angra is pretty ugly too.

I think Dungeon-life is black is one of my favourite instrumentals now... it's bloody cool

I agree

can somone recommend me some good power metal iv got alot of bands but i only like a couple of songs by them all and there not my favs

Some albums with front-to-back good songs:

Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle-Earth
Iced Earth - Night of the Stormrider, Something Wicked this way Comes, Horror Show
Angra - Rebirth
Edguy - Hellfire Club
Demons & Wizards - S/T, Touched by the Crimson King *Both albums are some of the best that power metal has to offer, in my opinion.

There's just a few to get you started, but there's a lot more that fall into this list.

also try
Edguy- hellfire club
dungeon- a rise to power
nightwish-wishmaster
children of bodom-follow the reaper
blind guardian- somewhere far beyond, a night at the opera
rhapsody- shmphony of enchanted lands

Aaand:

Nightwish - Oceanborn
Sonata Arctica - Winterheart's Guild, Silence, Ecliptica
Dragonforce - Sonic Firestorm
Lost Horizon - can't be arsed to look up album name

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]Lost Horizon - can't be arsed to look up album name[/QUOTE]

I think the one you're thinking of is A Flame to the Ground Beneath.

Probably. What he said.

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]I think Dungeon-life is black is one of my favourite instrumentals now... it's bloody cool[/QUOTE]

Cheers, man! I think it could do with a remix, though (like most of the album) but I'm pretty proud of a lot of stuff on there, that song in particular. :)

That is one awesome song. I love the tone on the solo guitar and the 3 notes at around 1:37. It's brilliant :thumb:

Sounds good but which band is it.

And could anyone answer my question on Therion being powermetal?

Why Aren"t We The Arcane Truimph War Concil Yet!

Therion are symphonic death.

[QUOTE=Slapping Penguin]Why Aren"t We The Arcane Truimph War Concil Yet![/QUOTE]

I'm not sure. I can make a request in problems/suggestions thread.

Do it. I don't listen to power to do nothing. I put on my brother's Roman Helmet and grab his Gladius and attack the evil Labrador and Beagle beasts.

My friends and I are planning to make a corny Power Metal film clip to blind Guardian on the holidays. If we do it I will post it.

Oh, kind of like Rhapsody's videos? :p

As much as I love that band, you have to admit that their videos look like a scene out of the RenFest.

1. I have seen no Rhapsody videos

2. Renfest?

Renaissance Festival.

O.K, I know now.

I actually got invited by this Mallcore (and ugly) girl to go to a battle reenactment club with her, fun though it sounds, really, she scares me a little, so I politely declined.

oh BTW did you see this young man invoking your name?
