@mike gramm Power metal is a subgenre of heavy metal combining characteristics of traditional heavy metal with speed metal, often within symphonic context. Generally, power metal is characterized by a faster, lighter, and more uplifting sound, in contrast with the heaviness and dissonance prevalent for example in extreme metal.. also idk if you realised this but it was a voltaire reference
@obnoxiouslisper15484 жыл бұрын
@mike gramm you can literally make a power metal song sbout going to taco bell
@stratogustav4 жыл бұрын
@@obnoxiouslisper1548 For me the most important aspects are the use of power chords and melody, even if it is no fast, or doesn't have symphonic elements, but it still sounds melodic, and it has power chords, it is still power metal. It is definitely a subgenre of heavy metal, but the melodic aspect of it is what distinguishes it. Basically all those uplifting sounding choruses people can sing along in concerts that have their own vocal melody. Listen to the band Magic Kingdom for example, songs like "No Mercy For The Enemy", "Sleeping Beauty", "I'm A Lionheart", "Monte Cristo", "In The Name Of Heathen Gods", "Evil Magician", they are all perfect representations of what power metal is, and how it sounds.
If we're gonna go into technicalities HammerFall is not power but just regular heavy metal, speed metal at best, Grave Digger is AMAZING but its NOOOoooooOOT Power Metal either, again, just regular heavy metal with some other influences.

Y de Manowar cualquiera del kings of metal o louder than hell, el warriors of the world fue el ppio del fin, ahi Adams ya ni grita ni tiene voz, y de Gamma Ray bueno, es un buen tema. Joer estaba escuchando el tema de Helloween y es que es malo a rabiar, un falling higher, sole survivor, i want all, no se cualquiera.

Haha how could u not discover that rhapsody song when u did for all the songs here in the list
@businesscatlimbo8 жыл бұрын
Nightwish isn't power metal. And Symphony X is progressive metal. Plus no "top 10 power metal band" list is complete without Hammerfall, Stratovarius, or Kamelot. Loudwire, get your shit together.

I was about to say the same thing! Nightwish really?
@antoniusmetal8 жыл бұрын
Well, Nightwish does have several songs that qualify as power metal, just with a soprano singing instead of your typical high pitched male vocals, especially from the old days, but yes, the ones you mentioned are full on power metal and they're also great, so it makes more sense for those to make the cut.

Savatage deserves to be on this list. "Sirens" and "The Dungeons Are Calling" are pioneering albums for the American style of power metal. With "Gutter Ballet" and forwards (where they took a more prog metal approach), they are one of the first metal bands to make extensive use of piano/keyboards, thus paving the way for many, if not all, of the modern "theatrical" metal bands (such as Avantasia, Kamelot, Symphony X, and so on).

What is it if not power metal? Further away than "symphonic power metal" you're not gonna get. They're more power metal than Iced Earth or Symphony X. Symphony X for sure I'd place in Prog/Neo-classical metal.
Everyone hates DragonForce :( They have so improved in their live shows
