I like my power metal with as much cheese possible (quote, band)

Could also try some Ayreon. And if the female vocals interest you, Draconian, Celestial Crown and Beseech.

I love Ayreon, but they are Progressive Rock/Metal, not Power Metal. However, Into the Electric Castle and Universal Migrator I is highly recommended.

^Yeah. Just thought I'd throw him out there as well because they're THAT sweet. Another off-genre reccommendation, Strapping Young Lad.

Draconian aren't power metal either.

DearJenny · 02-27-2007, 02:04 PM

^Go ahead and ruin my day. to make it easy for myself I group all Symphonic, Epic, Viking, w/e metal into one big genre......sweetass metal.

Something I kind of have a love hate relationship with so I've not explored much is the cheesier side of power metal. Stuff in the realm of Blind Guardian, Demons & Wizards, The Ring, and maybe a bit of Axel Rudi Pell kind of stuff. Much appreciated.

Helloween. I hate them but they certainly fit the description! Also try Thor.

Inuzuka Skysword · 02-29-2008, 02:57 PM

Helloween is awesome...

~~The Unfan~~ · 02-29-2008, 05:34 PM

Helloween are pretty good but seemingly inconsistant.

I hate them with a passion lol
