I offer Witchcraft by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard

I request power metal recommendations, please.

I request power metal recommendations, please.

Blind Guardian (earlier stuff was primarily speed metal)

Unleash the Archers

Unlucky Morpheus

I hesitate to recommend Iced Earth since the bandleader is a raging POS but they fit the bill

Nightwish is more symphonic than power but they're top notch and might scratch that itch

Archers are fucking amazing

Try Summerlands

Or Eternal Champion

I went to Kamelot's show last weekend, if you don't know them definitely check them out. Opening act was Ad Infinitum, I didn't know them but I was blown away! Melissa Bonny is an amazing singer.

power metal

If you let hardcore bleed into the selection a bit, here are some favorites:

  • Pantera
  • Godsmack
  • NIN (Broken EP has more power metal in it than industrial, see "Last")
  • Rollins Band (End of Silence is so great)
  • Hatebreed (Concrete Confessional and Supremacy)
  • Chimaira
  • Lamb of God (dubiously power, more death but that's ok)
