ToSmokMuzyki 01.01.25	13000
budgie 01.01.25	there was one power metal band with chick vox that i listened to a bunch in like 2004 but i can never remember i think the word asgard was involved
NexCeleris 01.01.25	Don't like Unleash the Archers, Battle Beast or Epica? There's Ancient Bards, too.
budgie 01.01.25	cool i found it the album is white skull - tales from the north

ToSmokMuzyki 01.01.25	unleash the archers gets mccorey and from the one album i did was quite terrible but maybe they get better later edit: and wow my soff was not forgiving in the slightest battle beast i thought i'd heard but apparently not am intrigued epica is pure symph ancient bards also only heard one terrible ablum but maybe their earlier are better
Futures 01.01.25	this year smok i will get into power metal. you need a primer for us newbies who think it's cringe and larping shit
ToSmokMuzyki 01.01.25	damn budgie what a find
ToSmokMuzyki 01.01.25	i mean i did once mean to compose a 'how to listen to power metal' list but it was booed and i never got to it made a top power list tho
Futures 01.01.25	i'll have to check it out. want to branch out a bit more this year. i love anthemic huge choruses so i feel like i should like the genre.
ToSmokMuzyki 01.01.25	it is a genre for the manliest men (and women regarding this list obviously) who trvly do not care what the common public think
budgie 01.01.25	@futures got to make a division in your head between early and later power metal early power metal is like 80s traditional heavy metal but with fantasy themes and major key first helloween EP (1985) and first manilla road LP (1983) are like the sweetest purest early power metal releases later power metal is a lil goofy
Futures 01.01.25	appreciate it brother. i think the early stuff sounds up my ally.
ToSmokMuzyki 01.01.25	>later power metal is a lil goofy pfft you mean they added more POWER
ToSmokMuzyki 01.02.25	im more a fan of the neoclass/symphonic later developed variety but warlord 1983 rulz with a [2] to helloween
rockarollacola 01.02.25	bro deletes the thrash discord and is now releasing pm lists I really did a number on you.

budgie 01.02.25	wat da hell
budgie 01.02.25	METAL INFIGHTING
ToSmokMuzyki 01.02.25	POWER BROS UNITE
Tundra 01.02.25	Lovebites, Unlucky Morpheus all you need
ToSmokMuzyki 01.02.25	damn tundra with the kawaii dm slide could go in any direction
ToSmokMuzyki 01.02.25	battle beast singer is wicked but she doesnt continue past debut faaaaaaaaaaaaaa
DaveyMonsoon 01.02.25	There's a severe lack of early Dark Moor in this thread.
ToSmokMuzyki 01.02.25	shit didnt realize that was a woman on their first 3 albums no wonder they started to suck after gates of oblivion LOL
zaruyache 01.02.25	yeah those The Moor records with her rip.
Jmal00 01.03.25	I will be looking at all of these
Jmal00 01.03.25	Violent Creed is the better Smoulder album fyi
ToSmokMuzyki 01.03.25	maybe maybe not your taste is sometimes questionable
ToSmokMuzyki 01.03.25	reminded me to czech tho
Dreamflight 01.03.25	10 is a damn good album. Also you should check Decoder by Ebony Ark.
ToSmokMuzyki 01.03.25	will do will do
Jmal00 01.04.25	Did a full dive and here are my thoughts 1. Obviously the goat yeah. An absolute monster of an album with a goated vocal display. 2. Band is incredible. Flawless discography. 3. I’m just not hearing it from the crown yet. Do not know what the problem is but I’m blaming a lack of energy and dynamism. 4.Smoulder are the goats no question. Heroes and fools are one and the same. Take me back to 2023 when Violent Creed was the only album on my mind. 5.Warlock released some sick albums before Doro threw it all away. TNA being a must listen for any metal fan. 6. This was ok… 7. Really good PM played as god intended. Vocals honestly weren’t my favorite but the music was excellent. 8.Not good? 9. I don’t feel good about liking this as much as I do. Thank you for giving me a new album to listen to for the next month. 10. Did not know that was a woman either lol. Dark Moor is great as we all know 11. Where is Edenbridge?
ToSmokMuzyki 01.04.25	these arent rly ranked just a general list of any band that has something worth a 3+ so crown is more mid but that album is their first 4
Dedes 01.04.25	Olden Dreams by Dark Moor 3rd best PM album evah
AnimalForce1 01.04.25	Ngl, despite all the shit Tundra has gotten, dude has good taste in Japanese metal/hard rock stuff, between Band Maid, and the recs for Lovebites and Unlucky Morpheus are ones I second wholeheartedly
Jmal00 01.04.25	The line between symph pm and symph is too thin to draw. Unleash the symph
ToSmokMuzyki 01.04.25	nah they reach for entirely different moods
vult 01.04.25	wow 1 is pretty sick its a shame they aren't bigger
Jmal00 01.04.25	Nightwish vs Empress is entirely the same mood. Edenbridge is a bit more somber but it’s all very close. A sense of wonderment and joy to be alive.
ToSmokMuzyki 01.04.25	eh they weave between power, symph n prog
Voivod 01.04.25	List is in dire need of Zed Yago.
foxblood 01.04.25	Great list idea I’ll check some of these
