Not exactly. This is my favorite genre and a short list of some good, more-mainstream power/epic/symphonic metal. Fuck wikipedia. Of course, I dont know why I'm answering to someone who hasn't even been here for a month.

I've never considered Suidakra to be power metal. They do have lovely folk elements however they just aren't power metal sounding. Earlier stuff is more like folked up blackened death or something like that, maybe even viking minus the lyrical content that pertains to viking mythos. Command To Charge was more of a folky numetalcore***g0r album.
Funny to note: My spell checker thinks mythos and folky aren't words but didn't pick up numetal***g0r. Last edited by The Unfan; 02-24-2007 at 01:19 AM. Reason: I ruined the English language pretty badly. |

My expertise is all mainstream. I dont have the time to exert effort into searching for little-known bands. I helped though. I bet the shit I listed is more available. Oh, and I checked the power metal list on Wikipedia and Leaves' Eyes isnt even listed. Point and Case. What I really did was ran through my windows media library and named everything in there. You caught me cheating by checking my music library. Good job.

Sorry but I strongly disagree, leaving out 'Are You Dead Yet?' they fully embody the power metal sound with simply adding harsh vocals and some touches of melodic death metal here and there (songs like Sixpounder). Their use of guitar leads, the symphonic edges, dual synth and guitar solos, they have it all. Now talking about their new album, you would have something though they still have a few power metal quirks to that album.

and City's, you can edit Wikipedia. And my point stands, the bands he listed aren't mainstream so odds are he's heard them. Unfan, I see your point, but they do have elements of it. And I saw Cellador tonight and was blown away. You might already know of them, but I'd give them a go. And Power Quest. Also awesome. |
