08.15.16 | This list was actually longer, but apparently it won't show albums that aren't in the database so I'll have to add those. |
Keyblade
08.15.16 | obligatory Power Quest rec lol
sweet list tho, power metal isnt very popular on here so props for this. im not familiar with a bunch of these, so i'll check em. in the meantime, plz check Hibria's debut |

08.15.16 | Theocracy |
FullOfSounds
08.15.16 | I haven't heard any good power metal because DragonForce completely turned me off to the genre. |
doomjitsu
08.15.16 | gayest genre in a minute |
Rik VII
08.15.16 | Hm ... check Angra if you haven't already. They're awesome.
Also, Gamma Ray, if you can handle Kai's voice (I personally can't stand his way of singing but that's all that I don't like about GR).
First 2 Avantasia albums.
Some more decent pm bands are Dark Moor and Serenity. nothing special though.
power metal is totally hit and miss. Kamelot and Blind Guardian are among my favorite bands oat (though I have to disagree, I'll take goth cheese over dragon cheese every day of the week), and Pyramaze are pretty underrated. there's so much shit going on in this genre though. |
Recreate
08.15.16 | I've heard Theocrazy is all jesus crazy and gets real preachy so I've been avoiding it, but I guess if it's epic then it's epic.
RikRoach - theres a lot of shit going on in every genre. |
Flugmorph
08.15.16 | theres not much good power metal around nowadays tbh.
try the newest edguy album |
DungeonBoy
08.15.16 | Hm ... check Angra if you haven't already. They're awesome [2]
I love Angra, but I don't really love any of their albums. Select tracks I'd definitely recommend are:
Carry On, Nothing to Say, Nova Era, Silence and Distance, and Metal Icarus |
InFlamesWeThrash666
08.15.16 | Heavens Gate - Livin' In Hysteria
Lost Horizon both albums
Stormwarrior - Heading Northe
|
Keyblade
08.15.16 | Temple of Silence is a superb album |
Rik VII
08.15.16 | "RikRoach - theres a lot of shit going on in every genre."
yeah that's actually what I always say, so agreed.
If you want to get into Angra and want a straight-forward power metal album with some awesome instrumentation, give Angel's Cry a go. it's a fun album. if you want some more progressive stuff, Temple of Shadows is your place to go. |
Rik VII
08.15.16 | oh my god how could I forget that one?
Crimson Glory - Transcendence.
get on it. |
DungeonBoy
08.15.16 | Temple of Silence is a superb album [2]. In my opinion it is their most solid album as a whole, but my favorite Angra songs exist across their first few albums. |
Keyblade
08.15.16 | temple of shadows my bad lol |
DungeonBoy
08.15.16 | haha yeah it's too early for me too, I just read what you wrote and regurgitated it. |
Recreate
08.15.16 | Alright awesome. Lots to check out. |
Keyblade
08.15.16 | was thinking about Waiting Silence when i wrote that. that song is too good |
Rik VII
08.15.16 | .... together we waaaaait in siiiiilence. |
Keyblade
08.15.16 | STIIIILLL ARE THE CRIES |
Rik VII
08.15.16 | awesome song. |
CalculatingInfinity
08.15.16 | Well, for starters you haven't rated 'Imaginations Through the Looking Glass' so either you watched and didn't rate or haven't watched it, if that's the latter wtf go watch Blind Guardian's greatest achievement now.
Kamijo - Symphony of the Vampire (best PM ever, no question).
Hibria - Defying the Rules
Lost Horizon's both albums
Versailles - Noble and Jubliee, their lives for Holy Grail and Jubliee are really nice too. |
Recreate
08.15.16 | I own a physical copy of Imaginations Through the Looking Glass that I paid like $25 bucks for on ebay. :) so I guess I'll go rate it, eh? |
Rik VII
08.15.16 | yeah check Noble if you can stomach visual kei stuff. it's brilliant. |
Recreate
08.15.16 | Does MinstreliX count as visual kei? If so I could probably handle Versailles. It isn't anything that does anything for me, but if the tunes is good the tunes is good. |
CalculatingInfinity
08.15.16 | Good lad, it's such a good show. Also no MinstreliX is not Visual Kei. |
bloc
08.15.16 | Labyrinth - Return to Heaven Denied
Hibria - Defying The Rules |
CalculatingInfinity
08.15.16 | Nice to see Hibria getting some love, so manly it gives you chest hair. |
bloc
08.15.16 | Yeah seriously, that one album is underrated as fuck |
Recreate
08.15.16 | Listening to Hibria now. |
CalculatingInfinity
08.15.16 | Get fucking ready for solos of Justice. |
Recreate
08.15.16 | I'm only on Millennium Quest, but I'm sold. Definitely speed metal leanings and I'm all about it. |
CalculatingInfinity
08.15.16 | Millennium Quest's solo trade off is the stuff of legends. |
Rikkukun
08.24.16 | Check Helion Prime bro |
Glorfindel
09.09.16 | Orphaned Land are a shout - I heard them a couple of years ago supporting Blind Guardian & I they were well received. Mabool is great & All Is One has a couple of decent songs too.
I'm currently going through Avantasia - Ghostlights is great, The Metal Opera is fantastic though & well worth a listen.
Agree with others here though - power metal seems to have died now. |
