There are 2 ways to be a great powermetal band. 1. Create an epic story through songs 2. Embrace the cringe factor of being a powermetal band. And Dragonforce somehow achieve both

[@hellocentral5551]

Remember, by combining the powers of stupid and epic, you get an enhanced version of both.

Most other bands in the same genre I listen to don't really do number 2.
