Altaria- Crucifix
Hammerfall- Stronger than All
Angra- The Temple of Hate
Helloween- Guardians
Iced Earth- Dracula
Avantasia- The Final Sacrifice
Sonata Arctica- Kingdom for a heart
Stratovarius- Stratosphere
Kamelot- Center of the Universe
Rhapsody- Emerald Sword
Nightwish- Planet Hell
Blind Guardian- Battlefield
Edguy- Mysteria
Gamma Ray- Dethronne Tyranny
Freternia- The Unexpected
Firewind - The Fire and the Fury
Galneryus - Silent Revelations
AND MORE!!!
NOT DRAGONFORCE!!!!!
A mistake i made when i choose Helloween song...when i downloaded the version of rhapsody ( a long time ago), it said "rhapsody-guardians". time passed and i discovered that it was a helloween song, so i changed the name to "helloween-guardians" and also downloaded the original version, named "guardians". when i did this vid, i used "helloween-guardians", which obviously i see now that it wasn't its version, so i say sorry for that to all Helloween fans, included me.
There was another video, but it was deleted by WMG because of copyright infringment, sorry :(

[@dixiedoctor2563]

for me Angra was the best one, Temple of Shadows album was a holy masterpiece of power metal for me the best power metal album ever !

[@eyes4095]

angels cry and holy land are the best from abgra

[@aaronchiafos]

You should consider adding Falconer. They've got extremely heavy/speedy guitars but with a medieval sound to it... smooth bass lines, and Mathais Blad's vocals are second to none. It has that unique, low pitch that people don't normally associate with a power metal band, but mixed with their overall style... it sounds amazing. Almost a power/folk hybrid. Highly recommend!

[@vitaaas96]

Where is the Powerwolf?

[@philpherr4413]

Oh God I just love that song, Emerald Sword, from Rhapsody, it just sounds so epic and great!

[@pedromelolouzada2003]

PRIMAL FEAR

[@arpitabrahmachari7649]

Helloween and Avantasia need to be higher. Ditch Stratovarius and Gammaray and bring in Kamelot and Sonata Arctica

[@arpitabrahmachari7649]

Manowar isn't even power metal it's heavy metal. Ditch that. And Iced Earth? Really?

[@caioataide5325]

[@maurox12005]

BTW thanks for uploading, I found some new bands for me and Walls of Jericho best Helloween album!

[@lautacatabea]

Dude, you're missing SABATON

[@lararella6046]

Yeah YOU have my opinion!

[@nathangross805]

I really like your chose of power metal! Most of these bands are awesome! Especially Sonata Arctica, Stratovarious, Nightwish, and Rhapsody. But just to say, Nightwish isn't power metal, they are symphonic metal :)

[@erylis08]

Can't live without those bands. Thank you.

[@ZangerForce]

Rhapsody is the best of all I liked it thumbs up I knew that Rhapsody is the best I subscribe.

[@WillianCostaSilverio]

The best list of KZbin, Congratulations!

[@bassdrummer9849]

The intro is just a piece of my greatest powermetalband KAMELOT!!

[@zachsmith9349]

this is a great selection here, though i would have liked to see Sammet's main band Edguy, and the highly unappreciated Skylark make an appearance, also DragonForce should have been on the list considering their popularity. great song for #1 and great song to introduce the video.

[@emilelocas5496]

for dragon force look at the description

[@lfgubrs]

Love these videos, always fun to find new awesome powermetal bands. Thank you :)

[@MissGrzymReaper]

Thank you for introducing these bands to me! Falconer is still my favorite. One simply cannot beat Mathias Blad's vocals!

[@GmanTheTank]

I like all of these bands, especially Rhapsody of Fire, but I also love DragonForce.

[@Enkelriktad123]

Rhapsody! Luca turilli, thumbs up!

[@SoulRipper66]

Ow my god that is exactly what I was thinking thumbs up man

[@BlackDragon2712]

rhapsody for ever yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Gaby000999]

Thnx 4 the upload and again GREAT choices, i can't believe 4 the first time I agree a 100% with someone!!!! Cheers to you!!!

[@sootie2006]

All of those bands are awesome, you got my 2 faves, look up Hibria- Steel Lord On Wheels and BloodBound - For the King. You might like those too

[@rampage222555]

great list. however, I would've put Galneryus somewhere in the list. I noticed the bands in the description, so you must know of them and youve definitely enjoyed them.

[@TheLegendarySlug]

angra is one of faves for all time

[@Gogetassjfullpower]

rhapsody is my favorite power metal band... is the best

[@Marques_239]

A Great Example that shows what Power Metal and Melodic NeoClassical Metal is... A Great Video with Great Bands and Great Musics listened by Great Persons with Great Musical Tastes.

[@Varlwyll]

Yes, Rhapsody IS the greatest power metal band ever. EVER.

[@QuietLionGaming]

Great list! I had not even heard of a couple of these, so thanks! \m/

[@Pepino969]

Really nice list of groups and song choices. Some I don't like as much as you, but good job. I'm surprised you didn't have Freedom Call, especially as you had Hammerfall. Try these other power metal bands when you get a chance: Crystal Eyes Dawn of Destiny Elvenking Fairyland Magica

[@cocolo00123456789]

For the king of the icy earth, LIFE TO RHAPSODY!

[@AlanRojasMusic]

Lo que comenzó con un odio generalizado a Dragonforce termino convirtiendolo en el mayor exponente del Power Metal actualmente, gracias a todos esos haters que decian que tocaban mal en vivo (y no los culpo, era verdad xD) se preocuparon de mejorar en vivo... gracias a todos los que decian que los temas eran iguales, cambiaron los ritmos en sus ultimos discos y ahora tienen mas variedad... gracias a los que decian que hacian muchos solos, en sus temas actualez acortaron mas los solos y ahora se lucen todos los integrantes... en fin, les taparon la boca a todos esos haters con el ultimo disco Maximum Overload, si creen que digo todo esto por ser un fan de Dragonforce, los invito a que vayan y escuchen el ultimo disco, haber si siguen diciendo que son malos xD y si dicen que son malos en vivo, los invito a ver las presentaciones en vivo del 2012 en adelante, o el DVD que sacaron recientemente :)

[@SeniorShinanigans]

omg. galneryus, kamelot, sonata artica, firewind , hammerfall!! for once im not the first to hear of them. kamelot has been my fave band for the last three last years!!

[@shrimpramenwithcornedbeef]

YEAH!!! RHAPSODY OF FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@pirzol89]

My fav is Rhapsody. Long live Power Metal

[@Athan0503]

Love your two top choices, they're definitely in my top 5! :) Did you know Luca Turilli (Rhapsody) has made 4 solo albums? Kings of the Nordic Twillight and Ascending to Infinity are the two best, imo. Both which are excellent albums, and it really "shows" that he has alternated a lot from the Rhapsody styles. I'm certain you'd enjoy it. Also i'd like to promote Pyramaze, Prog/Power from Denmark/USA. Legend of the Bonecarver is most likely the most power metal-ish they've done. Cheers.

[@DarkMaiden3000]

Rhapsody Of Fire FTW!!!!!!!!!

[@ZicherCZ]

Nice compilation - always good to learn of more power/speed bands. Btw. I'm heavily missing Manticora in the list. About the most underappreciated progmetal band I ever knew.

[@Fissa4]

Liked as soon as I heard "Karma" in the beginning.. Kamelot are simply Gods making music

[@SeniorShinanigans]

omg. galneryus, kamelot, hammerfall!! for once im not the first to hear of them. kamelot has been my fave band for the last three last years!!

[@gideonvdsc]

1nightwish 2helloween 3blind guardian 4avantesia 5kamelot 6dragonforce 7iced earth 8sonata artica 9manowar 10edenbridge

[@maurox12005]

Absolutely agree with @IvanQuevedo. Guardians played in this video is the cover played by Rhapsody and not the original of Helloween.

[@huoppp]

My Ultimate List > 1.Angra 2.Blind Guardian 3.Rhapsody 4.Stratovarius 5.Hammerfall 6.Avantasia 7.Sonata Arctica 8.Kamelot 9.Forgotten Tales 10.Firewind

[@Bbeesshh]

Rhapsody Of Fire : the best Power Metal.

[@ChainGuN2]

This list is magical!

[@0gloc123456]

@TheChrisDahl this is the music that has been out longer than any of the new music. Long Live Metal! Hail!!

[@Staward]

Ferrou com a parte do Helloween, ainda mais pela escolha da musica (que eu particulamente nao gosto tanto, colocaria tipo Reptile ou algumas das mais classicas, tipo Keepers ou Halloween), mas tirando isso foi uma bela lista. Voce compilou basicamente cada banda que gosto nesse video, sem duvida as melhores. Exclente tambem Angra estar ai, nao podia faltar, apesar de muitas compilacoes nao terem.

[@MetalNoe66]

En todos los videos que he visto de Power Metal... Rhapsody está de primero, y la verdad no me sorprende nada! Y la voz de Fabio Lione es insuperable... Y después de Rhapsody yo pondría a Stratovarius y a Sonata Arctica. LARGA VIDA AL POWER METAAAL!

[@Poulmy]

I pretty much agree with that. Kamelot is sooooo epic :D

[@LazzurusMan]

Thank you, I never knew that :) Wonderful how informative and nice youtube can be on a good day XD

[@Alex8008ru]

i got top 3 out of those myself - discographies are in the car))) listening to them on my way )

[@digijohnny2501]

1.Rhapsody 2.Helloween 3.Sonata Arctica TOP 3 :D

[@ervin3422]

Angra, Helloween, Stratovarius y Gamma Ray mis favoritas. Angra, Helloween, Stratovarius and Gamma Ray my favorites.

[@RADIOACTIVEBUNY]

Saw them live, and all doubts I had about them melted with my face.

[@infinitycoffe]

Stratovarius is the best!!! Greetings from Brazil!

[@flometalleu666]

Hammerfall Angra Iced Earth Avantasia Sonata Arctica IT'S GREAT !!!

[@cdjrulz4ever]

Rhapsody

[@XxDArKPh0enixX]

rhapsody of fireee my favorite !!!!!

[@Kostas_Zacharakis]

Rhapsody is the best power metal band by far

[@MAX88587]

this is so awesome my friends, long live metal

[@blindshaaman]

Just think Helloween and Blind Guardian should have more emphasis 'cause they've created the power metal like we use to know now a days!!

[@xxVincentHuffxxx]

Rhapsody of Fire Numbah One!!!!

[@Gaby000999]

Dude great countdown though maybe u should replace iced earth and halloween for some actual power metal bands like sabaton and PRIMAL FEAR!!! those r a couple of great power metal bands!!! ifu haven't heard of them please do go and check 'em out i promise u won't regreat it!!!

[@Lassuspendragon]

Blind Guardian+Iced Earth= Demons & Wizards for me these are the best power metal bands :)

[@AmalricOrtiz]

I came here to clean my ears after listening to metal core.

[@TheSpinser]

Kamelot, Blind Guardian, Nightwish.... Great!

[@slingshotmcoy]

Power metal album covers give me a chill

[@icelinx]

It's not what I think must be Top 10 .... but, c'mon, it's the taste of this dude, and it's ok anyway .... ;-)

[@robertsuazoalarcon5755]

I couln't agree more.... Dude, Gamma Ray is one of the greatest bands all over the planet, not only concerning the power metal gender, but the whole spectrum of metal music.

[@Saint_morning]

I like all your choices, just saying one of my personal favorites though; Gamma Ray...or would that be speed metal? Anyway :)

[@50Tyrael]

Kamelot, Sonata Arctica, Rhapsody !! GREAT !

[@raph009]

Stratovarius is the best band ever lool! (only cause Kotipelto is in it XD) But I also like Altaria and Sonata a lot :) Rhapsody and Helloween, a little less but still great! And all those new bands I discovered thanks to you are great too ^^ Just... one... tiny... question... where's Dragon Force!! TTATT... And Within Temptation!! TTATT...

[@JOsKosID]

Sonata Arctica and Stratovarius are my favorites!

[@deathparadise1]

I listen to Avantasia, Rhapsody of Fire, Stratovarius, Helloween, Hammerfall, Iced Earth, Sonata Arctica, Dragonland, Fairyland, Dragonfly, Mago de Oz, Elvenking, Angra, Aquaria, Derdian and Domain >< There are my favorite Power Metal bands and Symphonic Metal Bands ^^

[@Squiffy8]

@krakenmaken Manowar for sure, I consider them one of the pioneer's of power metal. Along with Priest, Helloween and Iron Maiden. Although Priest was more hard rock when they started.

[@XNightRadio]

My top 3 Power Metal bands are 3rd: Metalium 2rd: Thunder stone and for Number 1!: DRAGON FORCE BABY!

[@afathoo]

i really like excalion. Not many people seem to have heard of them but theyre pretty solid

[@zezzy96l4d]

Rhapsody!!

[@vikispace]

Rhapsody Of Fire ^.^

[@indecor4000]

Rhapsody of fire !

[@TheLegendarySlug]

i know all of these bands great list my friend.

[@arielcancino8149]

Rhapsody the best of the power

[@ragnarlothbrok2822]

Angra - temple of shadows Best album power metal!!

[@Gumitko97czech]

GooD Job :D

[@cuitlaqfb]

I think is unfair to put avantasia in the list.................they are a selection of the best of other bands.............like the all stars of POWER METAL. But very goof job and thanks for showing me some new bands

[@creativity73]

If you love Angra, you would have expected Dragonforce in there as well ??? But again: it's a personal list... respect ! Thank God we don't all like the same bands...
