FrozenVain
03.19.15 | Great list. I would add a few more power metal bands that I think are essential but w/e. |
LunaticSoul
03.19.15 | Aaaaah man. You just need some Helloween and some Gamma Ray and you can be friends with the 12-year old me. |
nakedwesmile
03.19.15 | tell me which one is the most ridiculous over the top epic grand cheese out of these so I can get to business |
BlackLlama
03.19.15 | Dream Evil would be a good one to start with. Though musically I would begin with Stratovarius. |
BlackLlama
03.19.15 | I was tempted to include Gamma Ray, Helloween and Angra. The first two always get a ton of love when it comes to power metal though. |
Keyblade
03.19.15 | nice list, agree that Angra should be here too
one album i wish got more love is hibria's debut. that thing is near perfect speed/heavy/power metal. amazing riffs, solos, vocals (!) and of course sweepz |
Flugmorph
03.19.15 | No kamelot? |
DungeonBoy
03.19.15 | ^ This is almost my high school power metal phase in a nutshell.
Mine was a little different:
Hammerfall - Legacy of Kings (essential cheese) their best.
Stratovarius - Infinite (not their best but I owned it so..)
Iced Earth - Alive in Athens
Blind Guardian - Nightfall AND Somewhere far beyond
Sonata Arctica - Ecliptica (the fanboy levels were insane with this one)
Angra - only select jams including Carry On, Nova Era, etc.
Kamelot - Karma
Sinergy - Beware the Heavens.
Think that's it.. Good list!
