Songs are listen to are basically the very common ones: some of Sonata Arctica, Nightwish, Bullet for my Valentine and Stratovarius. The more guitar/drum there is, the better. If there are solo parts, even better! Vocals do not really matter :p Recommend away!   | ||

Then, me as I read on - Sonata Arctica o.o Nightwish -.- Bullet for my Valentine >.< Stratovarius x.x Vocals do not really matter ![[image loading]](http://www.advrider.com/forums/images/smilies/hanged.gif) Kids these days. No sense of the CLASSICS! I'm of course talking of Judas Priest, King Diamond, Motorhead, Dio and so on. | ||

The Power of One by Sonata Arctica I recommend the majority of Sonata's work before Unia, which has a lot of good power metal in it, before they switched genres. Especially the Silence/Winterheart's Guild/Ecliptica albums Blind Guardian is fantastic too and worth a listen. Dragonforce is popular as hell so give it a shot. Look at Iced Earth/Manowar/Hammerfall. My favorites are definitely Stratovarius and Sonata Arctica. Oh and I am talking purely about Power Metal here. I never liked power that much and I stopped listening to metal some while ago. On March 24 2010 22:03 konadora wrote: The only DragonForce song I know is TTFAF. Any other good songs by them? I hope I dont piss off anyone, but half of their stuff sounds the same with ridiculous lyrics to boot. Edit: I forgot about avantasia's metal opera. That stuff is fantastic and worth listening to. I felt I was missing something here. | ||

Iced Earth - Something wicked this way comes (whole album is good) Might not be what you're looking for I think you might really like Children of Bodom if you dont mind the vocals. If you want a specific song to youtube my first which got me into them was Silent Night Bodom Night. I think its the type you're looking for I think avantasia and children of bodom are the type you might be looking for while iced earth is just a personal favorite of mine that you might want to check out. | ||

Altaria Avantasia Angra Amon Amarth Austrian Death Machine Axenstar Axxis Blind Guardian Dragonforce Dreamtale Dream Evil Dream Theater (a little slower, but has some AWESOME SONGS. Glass Prison ex) Edguy Epica Evergrey Falconer (favourite++) Firewind Five Finger Death Punch Freedom Call Gamma Ray Hammerfall Helloween Iced Earth Iron Fire Iron Maiden Judas Priest Kamelot Kotipelto Leverage Lordi Majesty Manowar Megadeth Persuader Powerglove Rammstein (german) rhapsody of fire Sabaton Savage Circus Symphony X Turisas I am definitely missing some.

+ Show Spoiler + The solo gets me every time First metal album i ever listened to, i still love the feel and the guitar sound. Great german band, here are the solos from my fav album by them, if this doesnt make you wanna listen to them, nothing will. Another good band, not that much different from primal fear Excalibur, an excellent conceptual album Avantasia is awesome ! Dream evil has some nice songs too, lyrics mostly suck balls though. And heres some malmsteen, not all too heavy, but i like it ! That should tide you over for some time, and damn now you got me listening to this stuff again. | ||

And I've never listened to Days of Grays. | ||

Kamelot deserves another mention because it hasn't come up enough in this thread, although they have a more vocalist centric style (though with Roy Khan doing your vocals you'd be dumb not to emphasize them). I'd suggest checking out the albums Fourth Legacy, Epica, and especially The Black Halo - the entire albums are so good it's difficult to recommend individual songs. Additionally, as far as Dragonforce goes, yes, a lot of the songs sound similar, but if you really want fast guitars and drums and don't care about a lot else, Dragonforce delivers in spades. TTFAF is really not one of their better songs; it's just well known because of Guitar Hero. Check out the entire Valley of the Damned album for a better primer on Dragonforce than TTFAF. | ||

About Dragonforce, my opinion is that once you've heard 1-2 of their songs, you've heard them all =P They seriously all sound the same =P Doesn't mean I'm not partial to Fury of the Storm and Soldiers of the Wasteland though... These are some songs, but I would recommend the entire discography of basically all these bands. Sonata Arctica - Eighth Commandment Nightwish - Poet and the Pendulum; there's a significant number of people who don't like Dark Passion Play, but it's actually my favorite Nightwish album, and I also like all of the one with Tarja. Blind Guardian - Valhalla Iron Maiden - Hallowed be Thy Name Dream Theater - Octavarium; haters gonna hate, I loved that album. Communic - Raven's Cry Epica - Reign to Surrender Kamelot - The Black Halo Symphony X - The Sacrifice Ho-hum. Power prog metal ftwl \m/ | ||

It is really depressing you guys.. why can't someone say "I like Dragonforce, give em a shot" without everyone saying "They are fucking trash." This is music, if it isn't his taste he won't listen. If it is however he will gain SO MUCH from it.. why snub him that opportunity with your nay-saying just because it didn't fit YOUR taste. most of us can agree that country music sucks right? Well guess what? For others that is like, the most harmonic beautiful sound ever.. gives them memories and feelings of joy. I don't like it at all.. but I certainly wouldn't waltz around telling everyone that likes it they are bad/retarded.  | ||

I listen to power metal AND i like DF. Am I powermetal enthusiast, nope. But I like the genre. And yes boesthius you could word it differently: And get different messages. On the 1 side you come off like an elitist douche (metal on this site is tainted because of the laarge number of people that are that way) OR you could sound helpful and be like "huh, well if you like them try this X I think they are better" I'm not going to crusade the matter since it'd be 1 versus 500 but I really think some of you should try and tone it down. I LOVE metal but almost never discuss it here because I am tired of getting judged for what I like musically. | ||

Let me guess... people say what you like isn't "metal"? Seriously just a guess. Also to Konadora all of the bands mentioned are great choices but if you want a really good power metal experience I can't say enough about Kamelot - The Black Halo. It's an album and I do that because to only list songs would not do the entire event of listening to it justice. edit: HAHA Macavenger said the same thing basically. It's also good to see the album mentioned a few times & I guess a video is mandatory | ||

(FIN) Stratovarius - Visions (FIN) Ensiferum - self titled (GER) Blind Guardian - Nightfall in middle earth These three albums are masterpieces. I have no idea how Ensiferum managed to make such an incredibly awesome debut album. I'm amazed to this very day. Visions is possibly Stratovarius finest moment and Nightfall in middle earth is on my top 10 albums of ALL time. PS. Manowar are awesome too. I don't care if they take themselves very seriously or enter the stage on motorcycles. They make so good music. | ||
