   • Iced Earth - Something Wicked This Way Comes (1998) Iced Earth’s first four albums were more complex, but Jon Schaffer’s tech-thrash chops and Matt Barlow’s dramatic pipes reach their pinnacle on this more direct offering.
   • Virgin Steele - The House Of Atreus Act II (2000) Subtitled ‘A Barbaric-Romantic Opera’ - and actually staged as musical theatre (in Germany) - the New Yorkers’ 10th album is the conclusion of their retelling of Aeschylus’s Greek tragedies, a monument to total conviction and obsessive zeal.
   • Queensryche - The Warning (1984) Before conquering the mainstream with Operation: Mindcrime, Seattle’s prog-metal pioneers had a precociously firm grasp on their own brand of high-tech, visionary power metal, evident in the bravura dramatics of Geoff Tate’s voice and the dark, pensive arrangements.
   • Cirith Ungol - King Of The Dead (1984) These Tolkien-indebted Californians formed as early as 1971, embracing the 80s metal revolution on versatile 1981 debut Frost & Fire.

   • Gamma Ray, 'Land of the Free' (1995) Kai Hansen is one of power metal’s most revered musicians, renowned for his neoclassical playing and lovable nasal-toned singing.

   Dec 4, 2020 · 20. Paralydium – Worlds Beyond. [Cover artwork: Gustavo Sazes] Oh, hey, Dynazty released a brand new album in 2020. We Have the Power likes Dynazty, and The Dark Delight is a solid album that sees the band mixing in a perhaps surprising bit of gloominess into their otherwise bright power / hard rock formula.

   What is power metal?

   • Here’s how it works. Initially, ‘ power metal ’ was just one of several interchangeable labels hanging around the early 80s underground to describe the intensification of metal beyond its 70s roots, towards a rougher, tougher, distilled strain of metal that reached for epic and fantastical themes.

   What do you love most about metal?

   • [Cover artwork: Seventh Sky Media] One of the things I love the most about metal in the modern age is that relatively obscure bands can swoop in from out of the blue and drop an album that sounds as big and gloriously showy as what gets produced by veterans with major label backing and multiple decades under their belts.

   Is power metal a cheesy genre?

   • Power metal’s detractors generally decry the genre as cheesy nonsense, and it’s hard to deny that they have a point. However, the best way forward is to fully embrace le fromage, and Sonata Arctica ’s wonderfully bright-eyed and Disney-tinged sing-alongs amount to the heavy metal dairy farm’s twinkling zenith.

   Does power metal gonna power?

   • By and large, power metal gonna power. The AOR trend continues to infiltrate a fair amount of material (and particularly relating to a number of long-time players), and sugary pop certainly finds its way into the formula for those hoping to net a wider audience that includes people who’ve previously never considered metal as an option.

   Is power metal a good style for a drummer?

   • For drummers, there might not be as much technical flair as other styles afford, but power metal is home to cavalcade fills, again serving the themes well as the sounds of dozens of hooves trampling the ground, charging into battle.

   Is Sonata Arctica a good power metal album?

   • Sonata Arctica's albums up to Winterheart Guild are among the best power metal albums of all time. Honestly not a bad list. Helloween deserves it. Good reminder of some nice albums to revisit. A power metal list that doesn't include Sonata Arctica, but includes Queensryche!? ok Agreed!
