I think Symphony X can be described as nu-metal, but I can definitely hear power metal elements here:

Symphony X - Electric Messiah - YouTube

Yes, I think being ginger may explain this weird behaviour. I lie awake at night, clenching my fists as I hear the words: "I dive in at the deep end / you become my best friend" sung in vein popping falsetto (Coldplay, X & Y). But for some reason, I can't stop. My hatred is so intense I will delay the urge to just put on "Livin' On a Prayer" and relax until about 1 am.

Nu metal?! I don't get that in the least. I get thrash, power, and progressive metal. But no nu metal.

Whoops, I should have said NEO CLASSICAL METAL. Huge difference.

Symphony X was good for a change, but it got a little samey after a while. Now this is what I'm talking about.

Go for it, I`ve actually got a lot a big interest in power metal at the moment and fancy listening to a whole load of bands that I haven`t heard in a while along with some new stuff. Most of the power metal stuff I know and like is by (Euro bands) I like some Manowar stuff but North american power metal is quite distinct to the Euro bands:

Blind Guardian
Helloween
Gamma Ray
Stratovarius
Hammerfall
Dragonforce (Don`t like)

All the above bands have released some great albums, despite the often heavy Iron Maiden influences and cheesy aspects associated with the genre.

Would be interesting to know your top 10 albums in the genre, so I can check if I know them.

Manowar actually also sounds quite alright to me, once I got past their image

It's been about five years since I was into power metal TBH, so I've forgotten a lot of ****. In the last few days I've sorta been having a PM renaissance, though, so now I'm rediscovering a lot of it. But yeah, besides Dragonforce, all those bands pretty much pwn.


A newer power metal band that I just started listening to. ****ing awesome.

But that's half the reason I love Manowar. They're so goofy it's charming.
