Thanks for the support! We've got even more songs on similar topics, so check out our previous releases 🤘

Yes, it would have made sense to mark the band to be from United States since Thomas Youngblood is the founder and main songwriter. However, at least they got two current members from Germany 🤘😁

Read the description box below the video.

Kamelot's lineup now includes members from various countries: Vocalist: Tommy Karevik (Sweden), Guitarist: Thomas Youngblood (USA), Guitarist: Oliver Palotai (Germany), Bass: Sean Tibbets (USA), and Drums: Alex Landenburg (Germany). Their composition is quite multinational nowadays. However, considering Thomas Youngblood as the founding member and primary songwriter, it could indeed have made sense to list them as an US band.

Okay, thanks. :)@@RenegadeAngel

From the video description: "The acts have been selected through Ranker.com's "The Best Power Metal Bands" and going through Top100 Power Metal Bands and putting them in order according to streams" ( www.ranker.com/list/power-metal-bands-and-musicians/ranker-music ). Yes, missed Dragonforce from the list, and they would have been fourth place (also in the description). Even if these other bands you mentioned might have had enough listeners in 2021(?), they were missing from the list on which the selection of bands was based. Thought about making a top list of most streamed power metal songs (limited to one song by each band - to not only have a list of only a few bands) and also include songs of bands missing from this list. However, this is very time-consuming, so haven't done one yet...

Alestorm's Wikipedia page lists that they come from Perth, Scotland, and they call themselves "True Scottish Pirate Metal" and have a theme about singing with their "Scottish accent." Kamelot's guitarist/keyboard player Oliver Palotai and drummer Alex Landenberg are German. Guitarist Thomas Youngblood and bassist Sean Tibbets are from the US. Lead singer Tommy Karevik is Swedish. The band is international, but you must choose one country. Some bands might have changed the lineup and have a majority from another country nowadays than they started with. I guess the country should not matter as much as long as you like their music 😎

alestorm is scottish silly goose

They have 161t listeners today, and their numbers were similar a year ago. Not bad, but not enough to be among the Top 30 most streamed artists.

And yet he is an absolute,laugh behind the scenes

Ikrrr, Angra had one of the most gifted vocalists in metal history and they didnt even show any singing

Yes, they are on Ranker's "The Best Power Metal Bands" list that the video is based on. They are also listed as Heavy Metal / Power Metal on Wikipedia and Metal Archives. I was even more uncertain about including Savatage and Iced Earth too, but I let them go since they appeared on the list.

More power you die from power overdose...

Sabaton 🤮

At 11:23 It's even worse! You' ve lost England as well!

@@nikitaavdeev9681 That is the flag of Scotland. Alestorm comes from Perth (Scotland) and sings proudly with a Scottish accent, so I thought it would be more appropriate to have a Scottish than the union jack flag.

Thanks. Glad you liked it. 🤘We recorded real drums (as on every other track) for the version of 'Journey into Madness' that we released as a b-side on the EP 'Damnation'. This is the first version we did for our very first release. The mix was also done by another guy, so there is some other differences too. We got Charles Berthoud on bass and he is one of the best bassists out there. If you want to see some insane bass skills, then check out his KZbin Channel.
