For reasons that escape a True Metalhead, power metal has become a dirty word throughout poseurdom. **** that ****. But even the lamest of losers can't deny the awesomeness of Omen. ****ing OMEN!!! Like a lowbrow Iron Maiden for people with more beer than brain cells, Omen were early 80s power/heavy/speed/proto-thrash metal in a time when the distinctions between genres was a headache for future generations. Call this what you want, Omen is simply all that was metal in 1984 and any other year worthy of mention.

Power metal is a subgenre that'll say "no homo bro!" as it ****s glam metal in the ass.
You know those black metal bands that are all experimental and have **** like shoegaze and polka or whatever and how the **** do you mosh to this?
Well, I know about this ****ing savage black thrash band that sounds like hell was going out of business so Vio-lence and Immortal had to join forces and play a benefit concert to keep Satan from getting put out onto the streets. Nothing fancy, nothing innovative, nothing lame, just raw black metal with ****ing sick thrash riffs. Does that count? No? Good.
