How To Be POWER METAL!

power metal is the genre of metal that makes vocalists feel like super saiyans.

[@markdemars7044]

Power metal is my jam. I’m talking Helloween, Blind Guardian, Stratovarious, Rage, Gamma Ray, Hammerfall, Avantasia, Galneryus, Firewind, Sabaton, Sonata Arctica, Manowar, others like Nightwish, Epica, Powerwolf, Brothers Of Metal because they got some real awesome power metal music that defined them as one of my new favorite metal bands in the world. There’s also some other power metal bands like Majestica, Symphony X, Edguy, Kamelot, Iced Earth, Rhapsody Of Fire, Pagan’s Mind, tons of other power metal bands and of course the most recognizable and well known power metal band of them all, Dragonforce. And by Dragonforce I mean the Dragonforce aka my favorite metal band ever.

[@AmitSharma-kd7rj]

Rage is one of the best power metal bands ever.

[@Kosebamse]

U forget 'bout Epidemia

[@martinvandersandt4631]

You also forgot "Unleash the Archers"

[@JayfroC]

Let's not forget about Lost Horizon. In my opinion, they have one of the quintessential power metal hymns under their belt - 'Highlander (The One)'. That song is basically a love letter to the genre.

[@GuilhermeSantos-rv1nw]

Stevie T: I'm not cut out to be a power metal vocalist Stevie T: does a perfect 31-tone glissando

[@Sckeza]

It's about endurance. Most power metal songs are about 7 minutes to 9 minutes. About 3-4 minutes are usually singing. Considering the high ass key that would take a lot of vocal endurance

[@cobalt._.27]

To sing those high notes, just think about the state of North Dakota.

[@Duskstone89]

As someone who's listened to power metal his own life, almost all of this is frighteningly accurate. The only problem is your band name; Almost all power metal bands I know of are two cool words put together to make one word, like HammerFall, DragonForce and GloryHammer as opposed to Falling Hammer, Dragon's Force and Hammer of Glory. So instead of Moonlight Eternal, I'd call my band something like EverMoon, for example.

[@DiscontinuedChannelOne]

My band would be called Rising Crystal or Rising Crystals Risings of the Crystals or The Rising Crystals

[@TheCrimsonIdol987]

Love power metal, one of my all time favorite genres, and I am in a power/traditional metal band as a lead guitarist, and I can confirm this to be 100% accurate. I would add that for drum beats, there's one more drum beat. The running man drum beat. Where it's constant 16th note bass drums, with the snare hits occurring either on every beat, or every upbeat.

[@jacksonrandyrhoads6089]

You're totally right

[@lrn_news9171]

[@danielskrivan6921]

The thing about most music genres is that a lot of it IS just noise, and a lot of it does take a lot of talent. I'm not a rap fan. Most rap songs it's just people talking, or it's people singing horribly off key. But there is some rap that sounds decent, and it takes skill for it to sound that way. Metal can be an incredible display of skill on the guitar, and an impressive display of vocal control. Or it can be a monotone growl both from the instruments and the singer.

I know Dream Theater is technically progressive metal but they've been getting a lot of hate for their newer music.

They're getting hate for trying new things and switching it up a bit and not being generic assholes. It's bloody infuriating.

[@Johnbovii]

Electric Nick i hate when bands get hate for trying new things. It gets boring to play the same stuff always. If you change it up you get hate, if you play the same music you’re considered not creative and boring. There is no winning.

Power Metal is so cheesy but it's a guilty pleasure and technically unmatched.

[@Doug.Dimmadome]

Technically unmatched? heheh

[@R0DisG0D]

Power Metal is incredibly fast, but other than that not really complex in technical terms. Prog and Jazz are more technically advanced. Also, Helloween-style Power Metal has become really cheesy over the years (wich would be at least 80% of Power Metal), but I think bands like Blind GUardian do a great job of keeping away the cheese.

[@kaelanmcalpine2011]

RemixedVoice Sabaton has lyrics of war. Blind Guardian are like bards, literally, they tell entire stories of their adventures and add a twist of progression in there. Nightwish had an opera singer once and their latest album had philosophy and science. Kamelot is kinda similar to Nightwish but with more classical sophistication and no female fromtman. Also the band came from my home state of Florida. Children of Bodom is more borderlining power and melo death. Their earlier albums were more on the power metal side and their "bad" albums were more melodic death, even after the small rut of albums into Halo of Blood and since. Edguy/Avantasia, I swear someone in the band, most likely Tobi, is a Christian. Yeah totally generic.

[@TerminatorZXY]

Twilight Force is the cheesiest power metal band I know, but it's good cheese anyway.

[@ranielkazekage]

Technically might be overcome by progressive. Though I agree with the cheesy and pleasurable.

I did enjoy this, but you more took the Dragonforce route through it, which is a fantastic thing mind you, but one thing you forgot was the vocalist types, I mean... Try and picture Hansi Kursch singing Sonata Arctica, or Matt Barlow singing Dragonforce. Just something to throw out there. :) Love your stuff, T!
