I like my power metal with as much cheese possible
 

Can someone recommend me something on the lines of Blind Guardian, Jag Panzer, Dwarven, or Fairyland? Many thanks in advance, my CD collection needs it.

Hammerfall, Iced Earth, Nightwish(female vocals), Leaves' Eyes(also female vocals), Kamelot, Sonata Arctica, Demons and Wizards(Hansi Kursch side-project)

I`ll never stop finding this album cover hilarious.

Manowar are great!

I've heard all the bands listed so far. Demons & Wizards is on the right track. Something more fantasy-esque feeling like that. I want to feel like a 12th level Bard when I'm listening to it.

Manowar are great.

I am surprised no one mentioned Rhapsody of Fire.

I second on Rhapsody.

Dio, Helloween, Soul Source, Demoniac.

Power ****in' Metal, yeah!!

I can give you a whole plethora of major PM bands, this genre is my speciality.

Heavy/Speed/Power Metal - Helloween, Gamma Ray, Grave Digger, Primal Fear, Iron Savior, Edguy, Hammerfall.

Thrashy Power Metal - Iced Earth, Brainstorm.

Progressive Power Metal (Non-Cheesy) - Symphony X, Kamelot, Angra, Evergrey.

Symphonic/Epic Power Metal (The Cheesiest) - Blind Guardian, Rhapsody (Of Fire), Nightwish, Thy Majestie.

Melodic Power Metal - Stratovarius, Sonata Arctica.

Extreme Power Metal - Children of Bodom, Dragonforce.

Honorable mentions: Manowar, Dragonland, Masterplan, Nevermore, etc....but I think this should do for now.

Wow, good thing he asked for a quick c&p from Wikipedia!


I'd reccomend Suidikara and The Lord Weird Slough Feg as far as power metal goes.
