Algerian Goalkeeper don't you have some 5-man Brooklyn combo with a vintage synth to call metal someplace? this thread is for people who actually like heavy metal

well ok admittedly it's also for you if you're a power metal hater who wants to get hated on, if that's yr deal live yr bliss

power metal suxxx it isnt even real music

deal with it

your domain name betrays you

here is a list of metal bands i listened to in high school whose names i have not uttered since:

angra
iced earth
blind guardian
symphony x
eternity x
helloween
savatage
in flames
dark tranquility

more bands need an "x" at the end of their names

can we petition the other guys on your list to add x's after their names? just to make the list cooler

xpost

"iced earth x" just sounds better imo

lol xpost

you cant make "helloween" cooler because it is already the coolest name there is or ever will be.

hellaween

you cant make "helloween" cooler because it is already the coolest name there is or ever will be.

otm

i love that websites about these bands look exactly the same as they did in '95: http://www.truemetal.org/mastersofmetal/eternityx.htm

like putting an x after savatage would be like taking a bruch symphony and autotuning the violin parts or something

The Edge explores the journey on the edge of sanity. It is a very powerful album. It is filled with complex musical nuances.

xpost album description OTM

do you ever wonder what happened to Psychotic Waltz?

surely this is some kind of joke?

They reunited in 2010 with Steve Cox on guitar. Devon Graves and Dan Rock, replacing Steve Cox, would join the band later on to complete the original lineup.

acoustic guitars are acceptable if used during a brief interlude during a suite that musically explores the life of king james iii

solo in the edenbridge track has caused me to shed a single (powerful) tear

Power metal is probably the only kind of extreme metal (defined by me as metal with growling vocals) that I don't actively hate. Well, that and doom metal. Not that I am a fan either (just cannot stand growling vocals regardless of style), but the prog elements tend to be quite interesting.

Yngwie Geir Malmsteen

(pours cup of mead for Geir)

Ingwee's Momstinks

I'm confused... Did we decide if Yngwie is power metal or not... lol

I say NOT... just because of Joe Lynn Turner singing

i think he's just yngwie

This is amazing:

Anyone who disagrees is a shit-stainjed scotum sucker who should leave the hall (he says, with unnecessary hostility).

So, like, are Savatage done?

Their website's still up, but all of the news from like the last ten years has to do with Trans-Siberian Orchestra, or any of the bandmates side projects. Jon has his "Oliva" project now - are they packing it in?

Think it would be sad for them to end things on "Poets and Madmen", which was a weirdly assembled release given Zak Stevens' sudden departure. and that 'new' vocalist Damond Jiniya was in the band for all of five minutes!

also I saw Manilla Road at Death Fest and they rocked and anybody who doesn't like Manilla Road will be impaled upon my studded codpiece

dont you dare compare the mighty manilla road with the shite on this thread!

I'm still not convinced Manilla Road isn't an ironic performance art piece.

bill magill was really upset they made the top metal albums of alltime poll

Every piss I take that's not on the severed head of a Power Metal Hater is a piss wasted.

if you don't like Labyrinth's "Return to Heaven Denied" Ima stick your nuts in a blender

lol i love this thread, and fuck you if you don't like power metal

otm

I used to outright loathe power metal. But since I've started to listen to more and more metal in the past few years/started valuing escapism above pretty much anything else (in music), my stance has softened (er... hardened?) towards it as I probably listen to stuff that wobbles dangerously close power metal territory. Can't help but hate myself for that, just a little.
