[QUOTE=mynames2long;21484393]You live in Australia, right? Man, everything seems to suck in Australia.[/QUOTE]
Nope. New York. America.
We get AWESOME concerts every now and again, and then mediocrity throughout.
Australia gets AWESOME concerts few and far between and nobody mentions anything else.
And we get shit like Kamelot and Symphony X.
ESPECIALLY Symphony X.
God they're both fucking AWESOME but they both mostly tour Europe. Symphony X is from New Jersey; Kamelot is from Florida.
I didn't know American power metal bands existed. :v:
This thread needs to get back on track.
America's got some cool Power Metal bands.
[I]Armory[/I], [I]Cellador[/I], [I]Slough Feg[/I], of course [I]Kamelot[/I], [I]Iced Earth[/I], [I]Symphony X[/I] and [I]Manowar[/I]. I especially like the first two mentioned. They sound very European!
[B]Armory - Faith in Steel[/B]

The only worthwhile bands I know from Australia are [I]Black Majesty[/I] and [I]Crimson Fire[/I]. They're great and I'd love to see them some day.
[B]Black Majesty - Silent Company[/B]

Even so, Europe has the best power metal :cool:
Sabaton, Edguy, HammerFall and Helloween :cheers:

:geno:, :geno:, :geno:, :keke:
Gamma Ray and Sonata Arctica
Sabaton is fucking beast
Yeah they're damn awesome, definitely going to see them during their UK part of their World War Tour
[QUOTE=Rad McCool;21541259]:geno:, :geno:, :geno:, :keke:[/QUOTE]
Seriously? Not even EdGuy?
Yeesh, you're really uptight about your power metal aren't you?
I like alot of the European stuff you've posted, aside from the smaller bands. I'm starting to think that I'm the only person on this forum that can't stand Sabaton >.>
Sabaton is so awesome, their singer is great.
Yeah, definitely one of my favourite bands. Love them, I missed their UK tour last December (didn't know it happened :v:) but in October they come to the UK for their World War Tour, supported by Alestorm :dance:

I'm not that uptight. I'm just tired of people posting the same bands over and over. Bands that I today would hardly classify as Power Metal anyway. Edguy were great. But they have really gone downhill. [I]Rocket Ride[/I]? What the hell was that?! Give me more [I]Vain Glory Opera[/I] instead of this rock/pop/metal, please. :P
And I'm 100 % with you on the Sabaton topic. They blow.

Oh yeah I meant more along the lines of Vain Glory Opera and Savage Poetry. They veered more and more away from power metal as the albums progressed, but at first they were straight-up German power metal.
I liked Rocket Ride :saddowns:
Although it's not their best, no. Their music from Vain Glory Opera up to and including Mandrake was their best stuff
Still, I do like their later work.
Also are Ensiferum considered Power Metal
I think they're Extreme Power Metal or something
[editline]11:03AM[/editline]
also Theater of Salvation is my favourite Edguy album

Ensiferum is viking/folk metal.
I thought Ensiferum was melodic Death metal
I wouldn't say melodeath, folk metal sounds the best, I just remember hearing something about them being extreme power metal :v:

Not really melodeath
but then again they sound a lot like Eluveitie and they're considered melodeath and folk metal
[QUOTE=mynames2long;21589280]I thought Ensiferum was melodic Death metal[/QUOTE]
Not even close.
[QUOTE=Rad McCool;21593788]Not even close.[/QUOTE]
Really? I mean, it's pretty melodic, and death growls are used.
[QUOTE=mynames2long;21609099]Really? I mean, it's pretty melodic, and death growls are used.[/QUOTE]
Nope. Wintersun is more melodeath than Ensiferum, although Wintersun is actually classified (in part) as melodeath.

[B]Zonata[/B] was really good. Shame they split up. Personally, I like their album "Reality" more. But still very nice to see someone else who has heard of them.

Power metal is odd. I love the guitar, but the singers annoy me.

Try melodic death metal.
Hammerfall.
I saw Sabaton live last weekend, shit was INTENSE
Celesty, anyone?
