Power Metal bands?

I've been getting into somePower Metal recently. But all I know is Dragonforce... I gotta get into another band or two of the genre. Try not to recommend 10 bands at a time and can they sound nothing like DF to keep some variety. Cool?

POST ME YER BANDS!

Iced Earth (Dante's Inferno is a ****ing amazing song), Blind Guardian, Children of Bodom (sort of...).

Too many stupid sub-genres. *sighs*

I don't know, man.

I like Metal and all, but I don't want to list bands.

There's no doubt someone would scream at me that those bands aren't "power metal."

Celldrax

Blind Guardian and Lord.

Sorry for posting alot even though you said not too. That's why I only took one song from each for you to "sample".

Black Majesty, Blind Guardian, Firewind, Helloween, Kiuas, and Sonata Arctica are all worth checking out.

No seriously their not. They had a one hit wonder that was garbage because they couldn't even play it live. I remember hearing a song called Operation Ground and Pound by them and it was near identical to Through the fire and the flames. I'm not hating on them they just don't deserve to be called good when there is so much better out there

I remember Operation Ground and Pound was the first DF song I heard and my brother thought it was Through the fire and Flames and I was like "What?" and then he started singing the lyrics of Through the fire and Flames over Operation Ground and Pound.

They found out what they were good at and didn't change it. It's like how Sonata Arctica's San Sebastian and Victoria's Secret sound simlar also.

Based on what other people have been posting, Pathfinder seems to be a powermetal band. I didn't really know much about them, and I've heard one song from them, but they seem cool.

I'm not a big fan of Power Metal simply because the genre lacks originality in a bad way, but one album I've always loved is The Black Halo by Kamelot. Other than that, eh, not really my preferred genre.

LORD! They've already been mentioned in the thread but I will still recommend them, absolutely brilliant :)

There's also Black Majesty, another Australian power metal band. They're decent, but I absolutely love "Silent Company" and "Guardian" so give those a listen.

I'd also give Hammerfall a try. They're pretty generic power metal, but give them a try and see what you think.

To all who recommended me Blind Gausrdian. I just gotta say that you guys are AWESOME!

If you like them try Savage Circus. It was made by aformer Blind Guardian drummer. They sound pretty much the same. If I gave someone one of their CD's and said "Hey check out BG's new album" they probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Also forgot to mention Iron Savior.

This band is not really power metal but I really like this song and it kinda fits into power metal.

I understand. I only listen to two of their songs: Evil Eyes and Between the Devil and the Seas

Since you like BG. Demons and Wizards was a band that was made by Blind Guardian's lead singer and Iced Earth's lead singer (yes it's both of them).

Fiddler in the Green

Blood on my Hands

I'll try not to do anymore because I know I've done alot.

Aftermath from US, Fates Warning, Bloden Wedd, Lethal, Warlod. I mostly like US Power metal. EDIT: Or "Traditional Power Metal" Not all bands I mentioned are from the United States.

Oh, do have one suggestion I found pretty recently myself: Wildpath

And if you don't mind lyrics you can't understand (unless you speak Japanese), there's Area51

Powerglove

Hatiko

That was awesome.
