The only requirement is that they sing "normally" and not like Arch Enemy for example and no male co-singer that screams like death metal bands does, Epica and some other bands have some good songs but virtually all of the ones I've found are "tainted" by male co-singer dudes that sings with the "puke voice"  | ||

but i dont seem to lika any of the other "newer" power metal bands.. they all sound very similar, it seems as no one has gone beyond the sounds and structures created by tolkki , and also the ones from Helloween ( Weiki/Hansen ) most of this bands keep doing the most generic power metal songs in the universe..so generical that it seems POP to me truly, becouse of the little ammount of creatitivity , just grabbing the fomula someone else used and putting some lyrics over.. i saw Kamelot live (they played before Iron Maiden..) they r songs where SOOOO predictable, really obvious, not a single sound, or w/e you call it in music (progression??) i hadnt heard before.. Stratos 4 ever!! few random strato songs.. (they are soo many good ones that if i put "the best" some will always be missing and ill get hate for it )ps:Hear the fucking Solo in 030366!! + Show Spoiler + Also , i love the new strato albums , and also LOVE the "old" ones.. i like em both.. but this new tolkki band symphonia.. seems just another copy band.. hes just copying himself..its just stupid :/ .. some songs even have the same riffs.. as other strato songs.. theres even the same chours that he used in Soul of a vagabong--->Revolution renaissance --->In paradisium i used to listen sonata arctica.. but meh i dont like they newer albums...some of their alder songs are good.. | ||

Right now I'm listening to Steel Attack. Edit: Check out a band called Zandelle. Dragon's Hoard and Necromancer are amazing songs by them. | ||

As a power metal and folk/death metal fan I'm disappointed about the lack of female singers in the metal genre so I'm wondering if anyone have any tips? I know about the most popular ones like Nightwish and Within Temptation but does anyone have any others or a list of them? The only requirement is that they sing "normally" and not like Arch Enemy for example and no male co-singer that screams like death metal bands does, Epica and some other bands have some good songs but virtually all of the ones I've found are "tainted" by male co-singer dudes that sings with the "puke voice" The Gathering for sure. Anneke van Giersbergen is an incredible singer. | ||

+ Show Spoiler [Rhapsody-Holy Thunderforce] + + Show Spoiler [Rhapsody-From Chaos To Eternity] + + Show Spoiler [Kamelot- March of the Manifesto] + + Show Spoiler [Kamelot- The Haunting] + I love the duet with Simone from Epica. Hammerfall is also a pretty sweet power metal band + Show Spoiler [Hammerfall - Last Man Standing] + + Show Spoiler [Hammerfall - Hearts On Fire] + | ||

Lost Horizon (Very powerful vocals and riffs, a bit like Manowar) Serenity (A bit like Kamelot) Stormwarrior (Sounds a bit like a viking version of gammaray) Dragonland (Please dont listen to their older works, its horrible. Their latest cd is really good though) Highland Glory (The video allways makes me laugh, cus its so bad. The song is really good though) Not quite Power metal, but I still think its awesome Cynic (more progressive metal/jazz fusion) Some more unknown bands: + Show Spoiler + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5tIB4V7Zew Maybe a bit more heavy metal then power metal, but still AWESOME [edit] Nearly forgot Aina (One time allstar band with people from kamelot, rhapsody, avantasia, deep purple, helloween and a couple more) The cd is a metal opera avantasia style, only better. Currently im listening to: Pathfinder (newish band) | ||

Kudos!Some of my favourite, more unkown bands: I love how this has transformed into being a thread about actual good metal instead of all the scene kid crap posted in the other metal thread (Metalcore, deathcore, mathcore, core 2 duo etc. are NOT Metal, just garbage). Sure bands like Ensiferum aren't technically power metal or super symphonic (They have their moments I suppose) but they are still badass and thus should be posted here. This thread should actually be titled "The GOOD Metal Thread". And with that more music! This song is soooooooo good!! This stuff is more in the vein of Ensiferum. And since people are posting Symphony X and other proggy stuff I'll post these too. ^ That band has ex-Kamelot singer Roy Khan, and guitarist Tore Ostby, who is a monster of a guitarist. | ||

Allso added some more bands to my list above. Didn't see anyone post: Demons & Wizards (Blind Guardian + Iced earth) Seen many people post blind guardian. But imo Demons & Wizards is better. | ||

Barlow left Pyramaze years ago. They announced he was leaving the band months before Immortal was even finished. | ||

I don't know anything about this band but while watching someone streaming they had this song in the background. I enjoyed it, hence why I'm posting this. | ||

On July 17 2011 11:12 Mindcrime wrote: Yeah I know now (I read that after I posted that but forgot to edit. I'd only listened to pre-Barlow Pyramaze before discovering Immortal recently), I've been kinda out of the loop for about a year and a half and even then I was always listening to music of the past, not anything super current. I took a hiatus from metal for around a year but recently got back into it after getting bored with electronic music. I burnt out on metal after listening to too much black metal so I'm going back to my roots, the stuff in this thread, 80's neoclassical shreddy stuff ala Jason Becker, NWOBHM, and thrash metal. I didn't even know KK Downing left Judas Priest until about a month ago "now"? Barlow left Pyramaze years ago. They announced he was leaving the band months before Immortal was even finished.  . I'm kinda playing catch up right now with this thread combined with my 7000 odd songs on computer and it's great fun. In other words, I have no idea what the metal scene is right now, only that Nevermore released an album last year, Lost Horizon is preparing to release a new album and Wintersun's "Time" STILL isn't remotely close to being released.Edit: Ihsahn released a new album?!?! I'll be back in a in like six hours, for now I must brew a pot of tea and listen to this thing in it's entirety a few times. It's the middle of the night but sleep can wait, I've been wondering when that album would come out (apparently early 2010? How many other awesome albums have I missed?) Edit: Okay I just listened to the song with saxophone in it. Are we allowed to post prog metal in this thread, this is possibly the coolest use of saxophone I've heard, and as a sax player, I definitely want to try this. Edit: Multiple songs with saxophone.

I'd have to say that my favorites would be Iced Earth (Iced Earth holds a special place in my heart. They were the band that first got me into the genre), Blind Guardian, Symphony X, and Rhapsody of Fire. Iced Earth - Phantom of the Opera Ghost + Show Spoiler + Blind Guardian - The Soulforged + Show Spoiler + Symphony X - The Serpent's Kiss + Show Spoiler + Rhapsody of Fire - Reign of Terror + Show Spoiler + It's not just the musical properties of the songs, but the lyrics as well. The songs are often able to tell an epic/awesome/different/entertaining story, and the music behind it is able to enhance the emotional delivery. I fucking love symphonic and power metal. | ||
