Whiskers Top 25 Power Metal Bands V2
As I've increased my power metal library, i decided to make an rupdated lists of my top rr25 Power Metal Bands :) |
| 1 |  | Sonata Arctica
Ecliptica
Will always be by #1 Band |
| 2 |  | Helloween
Master Of The Rings
Even Andi Deris makes Helloween just a pleasure to listen too, many styles
within the power metal genre and really don't disappoint no matter what
they do |
| 3 |  | Theocracy
Mirror Of Souls
Really want to hear more from these guys. Very underrated, people get put
off by the whole cristian thing but it's not noticeable. |
| 4 |  | Kamelot
The Fourth Legacy
Do i really need to say anything? |
| 5 |  | Hammerfall
Glory To The Brave
Glory To The Brave. Buy It. Now. |
| 6 |  | Blind Guardian
Imaginations From The Other Side
Some people might be in rage mode that they ain't in the top 5, not saying
they aren't deserving, but i've just not heard quite enough of them yet to
rate them higher, but i have loved what i've heard so far! |
| 7 |  | Freedom Call
Eternity
If you like melody's like i do, you will love these guys. |
| 8 |  | Edguy
Theater Of Salvation
Again like Blind Guardian, so far only heard their first 4 albums. But can tell
the best is yet to come. |
| 9 |  | Gamma Ray
Land Of The Free
Probably my 3rd Power Metal band i got into, they will always have a place
in my heart. |
| 10 |  | Stratovarius
Elements, Pt. 1
EAGLEHEART! |
| 11 |  | Celesty
Vendetta
Last 2 Albums have been fantastic. |
| 12 |  | Heavenly
Coming From The Sky
Very Underrated! |
| 13 |  | Lost Horizon
Awakening The World
Like Theocracy, want to hear more. Starved for more. |
| 14 |  | Dragonland
Starfall
Really like their blend of heavy and melodic |
| 15 |  | Masterplan
Masterplan
Gotta love Jorn |
| 16 |  | Labyrinth
Return To Heaven Denied
Just a chilled out breath of fresh air. |
| 17 |  | Rhapsody Of Fire
Legendary Tales
No explanation needed. |
| 18 |  | Firewind
Allegiance
Quite an overlooked band, not sure why. Guitar work from Gus is top notch |
| 19 |  | Illusion Suite
Iron Cemetery
Very underrated. Most consider them progressive metal, but you ca hear
their roots belong to Power Metal |
| 20 |  | Angra
Rebirth
Great songwriting. Strong Melodys, everything you want from a Power
Metal Band |
| 21 |  | Primal Fear
Primal Fear
You can always hear the Judas Priest influence, but it's not a bad thing. |
| 22 |  | Bloodbound
Unholy Cross
Another very underrated band. They don't do anything new, but they are
great to listen to regardless. |
| 23 |  | Galneryus
Advance To The Fall
Can be difficult to enjoy the vocals with the strong accent and lack of
English but even at that, no one can deny they work well as a band. |
| 24 |  | Dragonforce
Valley Of The Damned
Inb4RageFest. Look, i know they get a lot of hate, but if it wasn't for these
guys i'd not have known of Power Metals existence, so i owe them that
much. Plus the new album is toned down in speed and studio work and has
a more natural feel. |
| 25 |  | Avantasia
Angel Of Babylon
Don't know if i can really put them here as a band, but it's music
nonetheless and would be higher up the list if i didn't feel they cheat thier
way up. But still, you don't know power metal unless you own at least 1
Avantasia Album.
As a side note, theres still a lot of bands i haven't discovered or heard
enough of to make the list, but let me say, theres not any power metal
band i've heard that i dislike. |
