MoosechriS: Power Metal!?!?

MoosechriS 05.27.13	list is digs
MO 05.27.13	talk to/go find user Poet he's the power metal king
JamieTwort 05.27.13	Virgin Steele - Invictus. One of the only power metal bands I really enjoy.
Keyblade 05.27.13	Hibria - Defying the Rules best power metal. though I'd say it's more akin to heavy/speed. some other favourites: Kamelot - Epica Lost Horizon - A Flame to the Ground Beneath Manticora - 8 Deadly Sins Blind Guardian - Nightfall on Middle-Earth
WeepingBanana 05.27.13	lol power metal
Passname 05.27.13	Fuck yall power metal is the shit. I love people's holier than thou attitude when it comes to music taste. Like the shit you like isn't gay as fuck.
EvoHavok 05.27.13	Kamelot - Epica + Black Halo Symphony X - Paradise Lost Dio - Holy Diver Iced Earth - Burnt Offerings Nightwish - Oceanborn Rhapsody of Fire - From Chaos to Eternity
MoosechriS 05.27.13	thanks guys, i'll give them a look
NapalmCrusader 05.27.13	Avantasia ( metal opera pt 1 and 2) Angra ( temple of the shadows and Aurora Consurgens) Theocracy-Mirror Of Souls Gamma Ray- Land of the free( avoid to the metal at all cost) Kamelot-The Black Halo Iced Earth-Burnt Offerings Blind Guardian- Nightfall In Middle Earth Demons & Wizards Heavenly-Virus Rhapsody Of Fire-Symphony Of Enhcanted Lands pt 1 and 2 ( If you can tolerate the cheesy factor and the lame videos this band is sweet) Symphony X- Almost everything except their 2 first album which are a little bit bland Stratovarius- Their material since episode until elements part 1( since pt 2 their albums are bland or poor) Lost horizon- everything they made Hellowen- Walls of jericho and both keepers of the seven keys ( pink bubbles and chamaleon are an abomination) Nightwish- Oceanborn and Wishmaster ( century child and once are very good too but those are more symphonic metal) Dragonland-Astronomy. I suggest you to avoid freedom call, altaria, cellador, crystal eyes, grailknights and dragonforce, reovlution renaissance. I'm sure you won't like a big part of their material Sonata arctica was cool until unia but the topics of the songs made by kakko could annoy some purists metalheads ( mostly are histories of tragic realtionships and stuff like that) Hammerfall and edguy have a bunch of solid albums ( vain glory opera, mandrake, legacy of kings , glory to the brave ) but a big part of they dsicogrpahy is average, ok or bland ( nothing to spectacular), besides they are chessy as fuck even for power metal standards. The same goes for manowar
EvoHavok 05.27.13	Oh right, definitely check Avantasia.
Keyblade 05.27.13	fuck I forgot Angra - Temple of Shadows. one of the genre's best, and one of my favorite albums too. as much prog as it is power.
Mike08 05.27.13	Well I second: Lost Horizon, Gamma Ray, Helloween, and Blind Guardian. - Power metal has a few good albums but there are more interesting genres of music. See what you think of Sithu Aye- Cassini
NapalmCrusader 05.27.13	Fuck yall power metal is the shit. I love people's holier than thou attitude when it comes to music taste. Like the shit you like isn't gay as fuck. Well some haters of power metal have some solid arguments that I don't share but are respectable, but other haters of this genre have only heard through the fire and flames on guitar hero and haven't explored the genre properly so they opinion is worthless cuz they lack of knowledge and property
Cygnatti 05.27.13	power metal is so hammy, it's funny. prog does the ham and grandiose stuff so much better. power metals nice for a good laugh though.
RunOfTheMill 05.27.13	First three Helloween albums, and their debut EP are good places to start. After that, Gamma Ray is pretty amazing can't go wrong with Blind Guardian definitely go for the 90s Iced Earth Galneryus are pretty sweet and well they're SORTA power metal, more speed metal/classic heavy metal, but anyways X Japan is absolutely incredible.
Passname 05.27.13	Some heavier power metallish stuff (uspm): Manilla Road, Cirith Ungol, Omen, Attacker, Jag Panzer, Manowar, Virgin Steele
Keyblade 05.27.13	can we all just stfu and jam some Hibria
NapalmCrusader 05.27.13	I said some haters of power metal, that's not your case sonic. I know that power metal is cheesy but that's part of it's identity and charm. Besides a lot of bands like angra, iced earth, theocracy and blind guardian is different from the melodic side of sonata, stratovarius and the cheesy part of hammerfall. Contraty to the belief of some people a lot of power metal is well executed and the genre itself has a notable amount of diversity. The prog and symphonic side of the genre is notable and enjoyable
Passname 05.27.13	No we can't jam Hibria because power metal is too hammy. Not that I don't love corny and hammy pop and indie music, but I can't impress my friends with power metal, so it's only good for a laugh.
Mike08 05.27.13	Angra- Temple of Shadows is a very good pm album btw.
NapalmCrusader 05.27.13	Angra in general is a very consistent band with the exception of aqua
auberginedreams 05.27.13	lol power metal
NapalmCrusader 05.27.13	Lol an album made by panic at the disco with 4,5, lol. They are untalented, cheesy, uncreative, they made some of the worst rippoffs of the beatles and queen seen by the mankind and they're gayer than the village people.
Passname 05.27.13	It's ok though because Circle Takes the Square and La Dispute are the epitome of music and they aren't cheesy in the slightest.
NapalmCrusader 05.27.13	I like Circle and la dispute, I have a diverse musical taste. But panic at the disco is awful and annoying.
Keyblade 05.27.13	yea but Hibria
Cygnatti 05.27.13	"It's ok though because Circle Takes the Square and La Dispute are the epitome of music and they aren't cheesy in the slightest." hehe "Lol an album made by panic at the disco with 4,5, lol. They are untalented, cheesy, uncreative, they made some of the worst rippoffs of the beatles and queen seen by the mankind and they're gayer than the village people." so tasteless.
manosg 05.27.13	Savatage - Hall of the Mountain King Manowar - Kings of Metal Running Wild - Port Royal
NapalmCrusader 05.27.13	Manowar is cheesy, even for me. Need to hear savatage more properly
FictionalFlames 05.27.13	Firewind - Days Of Defiance Stratovarius - Infinite I Am I - Event Horizon Edguy - Hellfire Club Galneryus - Resurrection Angra - Temple of Shadows Helloween - 7 Sinners Gamma Ray - Somewhere Out In Space Powerwolf - Blood of the Saints
Artuma 05.27.13	list > power metal
JamieTwort 05.27.13	^agreed.
Pestiferous 05.27.13	Riot - Thundersteel
Detritivore 05.27.13	I prefer the heavy side of power metal, with no chessy parts Masterplan (Masterplan and Time to be King) Symphony X (Divine wings of tragedy and The Odyssey) Blind Guardian (Nightfall in middle earth and Imaginations from the Other Side) Ayreon (Universal Migrator Part 2: Flight of the Migrator) Firewind (Firewind The Premonition)
Azn. 05.27.13	Really huge stretch... but try Protest the Hero's album "Fortress"
NapalmCrusader 05.27.13	Normally the heavier side of power metal is respected and enjoyable than the melodic one, still melodic power metal has its tunes. Power metal is not for everybody.
bloc 05.28.13	I just recently got into it. The stuff from the late 80s and early 90s has a lot of gold.
NapalmCrusader 05.28.13	You will like a lot the heavier side and the progressive side of power metal if you are open minded. Bands like ayreon and iced earth will be more enjoyable at first.
bloc 05.28.13	Blind Guardian is the best I've heard so far. I doubt they'll be topped. Every album they have released is 3.5 minimum imo.
benkim 05.28.13	Kamelot - Epica + Black Halo Checked those two out over the weekend and my mind was blown!!
Keyblade 05.28.13	benkim check out Karma too, i think it's prolly better than Black Halo
benkim 05.28.13	benkim check out Karma too, i think it's prolly better than Black Halo I will although I have to say I was probably drawn to the albums because of the concept more than anything. Thanks man.
MoosechriS 05.28.13	Thanks for the recs everyone, gonna go music shopping this week i reckon so i'll make a start on working my way through them.
Madbutcher3 05.28.13	Jag Panzer, Rage, Nevemore and maybe Control Denied if you call it power are all pretty good.
NapalmCrusader 05.28.13	Nevermore has more elements of thrash or even progressive, the amount of power metal in that band is not so big. Need to hear the other 3
rockandmetaljunkie 05.28.13	Battleroar Firewind Savatage
Sniff 05.28.13	For everyone who said Firewind [666]
