Power metal

What bands?

Blind Guardian, Helloween, Avantasia, Edguy, DragonForce, Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius, (some)Kamelot, Gamma Ray, Freedom Call...the list goes on and on!
I also branch off into folk/Viking/symphonic metal.

@RememberMe Yes yes yes yes yes all of these! 💖

Might I recommend Rhapsody, Nightwish, and Ayreon as well? And Van Canto!

@shellbug apart from the typical ones, I'm really digging the new unleash the archers record. It's one of those albums I can listen to for days without growing tired of it. I strongly recommend it

Battlebeast is great too.

@Root Rhapsody, Ayreon, and Nightwish are all ❤️
Nightwish in particular!
Haven't encountered Van Canto yet, will listen, thanks.

My favourite is Symphony X. I can't get enough of their progressive power metal style.
I also like Epica, Iced Earth, Powerwolf, Primal Fear, Gamma Ray, Freedom Call, Nightwish, and so many more I can't even remember right now.

@shellbug Symphony X!
Damn, it's so nice to see other people with similar tastes.

@RememberMe Fucking love gamma ray. Funny enough, I was looking up “gamma ray” glasses on amazon and accidentally came across the self titled album. Looked it up on YouTube and been hooked since. 🤘🏿

@RememberMe Coincidentally a song of theirs was playing on the background when I read your comment.

Way to start a conversation. Just took two words

Why can't you people be my coworkers? 😢

@Root because then there would be no reason for devrant's existence. 😁

Van Canto is amazing btw.

My girlfriend picked me up from work today and was she blasting on the car speakers?
Fucking Powerwolf! 🤘🤘

@shellbug many of their covers are better than the originals

• Rebellion
• Kings of metal
• Bards song (okay, not quite. But it's almost as good!)
• Master of Puppets

🖤 Van Canto

Also: soo envious. 🙁
