The Great Thread of Power Metal Music

I am a fan of power metal. The soaring vocals, the upbeat sing-along choruses, the classically-influenced melodies and rhythyms, the technical musicianship. I find myself recommending power metal to anyone new to metal because it's a very accessible style and varied enough to point people into other sub-genres they may enjoy. If you are unsure of what power metal is there's a wikipedia page: I will begin the thread with the forefathers of power metal Iron Maiden. Now... maiden isn't often considered to be power metal since they technically fall under the New Wave of British Heavy Metal subgenre (which has very little to do with actual sound considering everything from Def Leppard to Motorhead to Iron Maiden fit into that description). But it is no secret that Iron Maiden was probably the biggest influence on how Power Metal was to sound, the melodic riffs, the galloping rhythym, Bruce's soaring vocals. All of this screams of Power Metal (not to mention that most Power Metal musicians cite Maiden as a huge influence). So I will continue this thread with some more of my favorites as I feel like putting them up here (got a few in mind already). Feel free to suggest bands, comment, like, criticize, etc. and point people who you think will enjoy some power metal in the direction of this thread.

RIP power metal thread

Just got back from the Sabaton show. They were great and the crowd manned the Oars when they played Swedish Pagan.

Been revisiting Tool today. Who needs hallucinogens when you’ve got this?

I get you. The beginning is reminding me of the Drink song.

We are here to drink your beer
and steal your rum at the point of gun
