Power metal

I've never been much on music. People now and then would come by and ask me what my favorite genre was or what I listened to and I never really had an answer.

So like I recently came across a couple a songs I like and listened to more from the same bands and still liked it to the point where I listened to them more repeatedly. So I would like you all(Catfish) to post your favorite power metal songs and/or bands.

(This is actually more of a request but I doubt anyone in requests would be of much help since this site does specialize in anime stuff and the like. Either way it's still music related with possible discussions so I ask it be left here)

Hibria is awesome, isn't it?



Sea of Lies - Symphony X

It's like 5:12 AM and I have school in a few hours. I'll try to get some more later. I need sleep. D:

Edit: Who am I kidding I'm not going to sleep.





I swear Iced Earth must purposely play every song worse in studio so they can make it sound awesome live.





Weballergy - Sonata Arctica

Crazy vocals on this one. Really don't know any one word to describe it other than "Epic".

Lost Horizon has some other good songs, too, but this one's pretty popular, and with good reason.

I am fucking cuming multiple rainbows. Will +rep again. I must find more later.

As posted above older Sonata Arctica (Ecliptica) should be right up your street, also checkout Dragonforce's first 2/3 albums (Valley of the Damned), PowerQuest, Axenstar, some Edguy.

Going down this vein might also find you dabbling in Symphonic Metal such as Nightwish, Delain and After Forever and a whole load of other related genres.

Should get you started :)

I saw Hibria live in concert last summer when they came to my town. I got to see the band during their sound check and it was sweet.

Since catfish already unleashed some gems, here's a few suggestions that I cannot quite be bothered to find youtube videos for right now.

Demons & Wizards - Fiddler on the Green (cool ballad)
Nightwish - Know Why the Nightingale Sings
Evergrey - Watching the Skies
Fates Warning - Without A Trace
Jag Panzer - Three Voices of Fate
Hammerfall - The Dragon Lies Bleeding

Powerglove for the win?

Currently listening to Needless OST, BlazBlue OST, and Manowar.

Only song you ever need.

Powerglove = AWESOME
too bad I only have their first album, and it's all instrumentals

As for myself, my taste and power metal, at this time, pretty much begins and ends with Manowar's "Gods of War LIVE" album

so many links...

Love it <3

Elvenking - A Poem For The Firmament

Elvenking - This Nightmare Will Never End

Symphony X - The Odyssey (it's long, so it's in three parts)

Dragonforce - Heart of A Dragon (the band everyone knows...)

Sonata Arctica - Flag In The Ground

Helloween - As Long As I Fall

Edguy - Superheroes

Avantasia - Carry Me Over

Kamelot - Ghost Opera

Galneryus - Struggle For The Freedom Flag

MasterCastle - Event Horizon

Ancient Bards - The Birth Of Evil

Sabaton - Primo Victoria

Spellblast - Lost In The Forest

Dream Theater - Take The Time

Falconer - Northwind

Labyrinth - Hand In Hand

PAIN - Shut Your Mouth (somewhere between heavy and industrial)

Volbeat - I Only Wanna Be With You (some kind of power, almost anyway)

While Heaven Wept - Vessel

Equilibrium - Blut Im Auge (power metal with growls)

i find the lack of blind guardian rather disappointing...

I'd love to post youtube videos but all I can say is Kamelot and their albums such as Epica, The Black Halo, and Ghost Opera. I recommend the songs on all three albums (All of them)

These are all great guys. I've looked into all the mentioned bands and I can say this is my favorite kind of metal.

Favorite song so far

Awesome stuffs.
