No I'm sorry, it's power metal but with lyrics of swords and sorcery swapped out for ships and wenches. If we start allowing genres to be born out of lyrics rather than musical stylings then our daughters will all be shagging communists by this time next year.

I don't deny its existence, I just deny its claim to be its own subgenre when all what it is is dressed up power metal, much like how H.I.M. calls itself "Love Metal" when all what it is is gothic rock/ alternative metal, or at least it was in 2003 when I cared about them.

It's one of the first but it was pre-dated by both Frank Zappa's Freak Out! and Byrds Fifth Dimension.
