Fist 666 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 finntroll isn't even slightly power metal its "demons and wizards" not "wizards and demons"... ugh... which was a project between: blind guardian and iced earth power metal has been around since the early 80s, its not a new genre: next 'too many metal genres' comment gets negrapropped. helloween iced earth blind guardian demons and wizards kamelot avantasia edguy hammerfall manowar rhapsody (i don't like personally, but most people do, if you like dragon force you will like probably, completely over the top) falconer gamma ray lost horizons (metal against drugs, lolololol, awesome band though) sonata arctica (also over the top) symphony X dream evil (amazing talent) these next are bands that are power in style, but aren't vocally so children of bodom (first 3 albums are power metal) nevermore some older soilwork most dethklok songs are power. arguably stratovarius, though they fall into progressive a lot as well opeth does a lot of power stuff as well, though also fall more into prog dark tranquillity has started using more and more power parts since damage done/character, but are still primarily 'melodic death' thyrfing is somewhere between power and sludge and something else... power doesn't mean 'clean/melodic vox' over fast , technical guitars, though that is a fairly common trait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fist 666 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 i've been listening to dragonforce since highschool. sure, most kids that are into it at this point are hipsters, but don't discount the band because their fanbase is fucking bullshit. you're going to rule out just about every musician with that line of reasoning moral: hipsters lose, dragonforce are pretty rad.

autoteller Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 excuse meeeeeeeeeeeeeee i apologize for the error -2 metal points does this mean i can't grow my hair to my ass anymore? the fuck should i do with my 200 spike gauntlets, now too? and dragonforce is fucking great, hipster metal or not, their guitarists are amazing. their drummer is fucking lightning (not to be matched by cryptopsy though), and keytar has never before been used so well. aswell, i added finntroll because a lot of the time power metal has to deal with fantasy situations, and i think songs sung through the point of view of a fucking troll would put it pretty goddamn close to that.

john_gacy Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 PLEASE do not lump Iron Maiden in with these other bands, they can only hope to be half as good as Iron Maiden, or at least older Iron Maiden. As for Dragonforce, to each their own but I think they suck. Sounds like a bunch of guys spent way too long smoking pot while playing Dungeons & Dragons and listening to metal, it's like nerd metal or something.
