The vocalist and I don't get along well, but the instrumentation is solid. Also, they are partly thrash.

I'm familiar with Iced Earth, they're great. I don't like that blind guardian album. I would much rather listen to the album Briks posted, though that's not saying much. Virgin Steele is just middle of the road.

Also, they're arguably not really 100% Power Metal in all their songs, but the Power Metal is still quite prevalent in most of their songs, at least enough for me to consider them Power Metal.
Blind Guardian is still my favourite Power Metal band, though, but Persuader is really awesome and worth checking out if you are interested in Power Metal, and don't care for the over-the-top fluffy stuff kinda Power Metal.
(for some reason I'm feeling deja-vu, so, sorry WPN if I've already recommended them to you, and am possibly being redundant.) |
You recommended these to JohnWilkesBooth recently. And I think I may like Persuade better than blind guardian, but they are only barely better.
