Hi guys, could any of you reccomend some Power Metal for me that's not ripping off Iron Maiden? I've been through soooooooo many bands but I just can't find anything that different. To give you an idea of what I do like a lot... I'm into Primal Fear and Iced Earth. (...and Helloween is mandatory
 )

Savatage, Symphony X, Blind Guardian, and Rough Silk should keep you busy for a little while...

Europe meets Dream Theater ?
The following band gained a huge popularity in Poland thanks to a song dealing with a forgotten battle (a Polish fan suggested them to make a song about it) : the battle of Wizno in 1939 where 720 Polish soldiers fighted 3 days with 54200 soldiers of the Wehrmacht in front of them!!! I discovered this band during a visit in the Silesian Center of Heart Diseases in Zabrze two years ago : all the physicians present were watching a video on youtube and I was surprised to hear some metal music playing, one of the physicians invited me to look at the video and pay attention to the subtitles (I post here the video with subtitles in polish, but I believe you can find it with subtitles in english) :
A classic :
Not sure the following one is power metal, but the album the song is taken from is called 'power metal' :

I was just listening to that Pantera song a few hours ago, bloody good! As for Future World, that's off the Helloween album I've got here.

Give Vicious Rumors a listen, I can't recommend them highly enough! Their self titled third album is a great place to start. Also you might like M.A.R.S. which features the excellent guitarist Tony MacAlpine.
I'll also endorse the Symphony X suggestion, a great metal band with some prog overtones. Edited by Nightfly - 18 Apr 2010 at 5:31am |

Ah-Ha!
If you liked Seventh Wonder, Angra and Jorn (excellent Lucas! Been just getting into SW for the past Year) Try . . . "Prog"/Powermetal Territory: Anubis Gate (careful their earlier stuff is much more simple than their later years) Cloudscape Adagio Ark (this gets more into Dream Theater-like Prog Metal, but "Jorn" help form this excellent Band). Leverage Time Machine Divine Vision Angel Dust Firewind Labyrinth Mastermind Mind Key NovAct Masterplan Old Guard: Vicious Rumours Fifth Angel Sanctuary Blind Guardian Symphony X (credit to Nightfly and J-man) Artension Ivanhoe Kamelot GB Arts Balance of Power Divided Multitude Lana Lane Narnia New Eden Tad Morose Jag Panzer Tech-Prog/Powermetal: Nevermore Spheric Universe Experience Pyramaze Brainstorm (Ger) Minds Eye Dreamscape Icycore Katagory V Lalu Communic Manticora Whoa, thats alot to start you with  I better stop . . .Let us know what you like!

Hehe,
I was afraid to  CHEESE "happy feet" Powermetal, I have a list of those too but I didnt think he wantedthose (I like Rhapsody/of Fire). Domine from Italy is good too, if anyone knows about "The Elric of Melnibone' Sagas (Books)"  Stratovarius Mob Rules Aina Celador Dragonforce Tons more . . .

The guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof deserves a mention here.
First with Metal Church : what an incredible band !!! ('the dark' is somewhere between power metal and thrash metal) : but most of all the following song is one of the best metal songs ever and could be a metal anthem : Then with Presto Ballet : Another band that is worth mentioning : Shadow Gallery (here is a video for a song from 'carved in sand' but the most power metal-sounding album is 'tyranny') : RIP Mike Baker  |

Dont forget "Vanderhoof" and "Hall Aflame" Lucas
Though Fusion King may like Metal Church and Presto Ballet, I think of Metal Church more of a Thrash structure. And Presto Ballet and (the 1st version) Vanderhoof as Hard Rock/Heavy Metal-Post Prog like Deep Purple and Uriah Heep ("Retro-Prog" is another term I've been hearing as well). I also like the "Reverend" albums from former singer of Metal Church the Late/Great David Wayne! Great Thrash albums, but are hard to come by (and Wayne-"Metal Church"). Shadow Gallery is awesome too, but I think of them coming from the "Dream Theater" school of Prog Metal (Lemur Voice, Divine Regale, Mayadome, The Quiet Room, Digital Ruin, the 1st 2 albums of Ivanhoe, and tons more). The vocals of Mike Baker are sorely missed Rest in Peace.But still, excellent picks from Lucas  . . . and glad you liked the "Viking" FK though I picture youas a "Scottsman" painting your face and doing this 
But . . . back to the Powermetal . . .  Edited by MAVIIIVAM - 27 Apr 2010 at 10:55pm |

Lucas may be French but if I'm not mistaken, the French have celtic roots just like us Scots.
And frankly, me being Scottish, I actually do that > |
