A Few Euro-Power Metal Bands & Albums I Enjoy
|
I keep saying it's one of my least favorite metal genres, nevertheless I still managed to make a little list of the bands I enjoy listening to every once in a while.

A work in progress, the bands & albums I discover and enjoy (from this subgenre that is) will be added.  There were a few more bands but they're progressive power metal or I don't think they're power metal (like Morgana Lefay). Keep calm and go kill the dragon!

Written by Blackcrowe on 26.02.2022 at 13:11 Thanks for commenting. Sure you can suggest bands, i'll tell you which ones I know, I might even discover a band or two. A very hit and miss subgenre for me. Fair warning.

Alot of bands here I enjoy listening too, the obvious one's being Blind Guardian, from debut to Nightfall, and early Helloween stuff. I've recently been getting into Masterplan, and Stratovarius, but there is quite a few bands here I'm not that familiar with, I will have to check some of them out

I'm also not the biggest fan of euro power metal, at least not the kind with lots of synth melodies, heavy symphonic/ neo-classical elements and lyrics about rainbows and unicorns but still there's lot of great bands in the genre. I like probably 2/3 of the bands in your list. Some recommendations: Crystal Eyes (Dead City Dreaming, Killer) Tarot (To Live Again, For The Glory Of Nothing) Domain (Last Days Of Utopia) Iron Savior (Unification, Battering Ram) Labyrinth (Return to Heaven Denied, s/t) Lost Horizon (both records)

Written by majormalfunction on 02.03.2022 at 05:38 No, I'm not into those, maybe Tarot is tolerable. I thought they were just a heavy metal band.

Written by JoHn Doe on 02.03.2022 at 08:58 It's such a thin line between heavy metal and power metal in some cases so I could categorise them either way

Written by majormalfunction on 02.03.2022 at 14:47 that's true, sometimes there is a very thin line.

Hi, There are plenty of groups i like here and some i don't even know like "mob rules" and most of the end of your liste (apart from serenity and beast in black). Do you know dreamtale ( try the 1rst album, difference, world changes forever), freedom call (crystal empire, eternity, beyond) and nocturnal rites (many good albums tales, shadowland,grand illusion, 8th sin) ? According to your list you could like them i guess. Nice list !

Written by jeffster69 on 30.06.2022 at 07:27 Thanks for commenting here. I know all those bands, I might give Nocturnal Rites another chance, but the others are too cheesy for me, especially Freedom Call.

Written by JoHn Doe on 02.03.2022 at 08:58 Lost Horizon has started to grow on me, the great vocals help here, I wouldn't have bothered if the vocals weren't so special (for lack of a better word).

My kind of guy right here, first 2 bands are Helloween and Stratovarius. The man has taste even if he avoids bands with strange names

I'm in the mood for a bit of Euro-power metal, so I've already listened to the first two Secret Sphere albums and i found myself having fun doing that. I will give Labyrinth another chance to see if i can enjoy them these days.

Written by TOUGHEST MEMBER on 23.11.2024 at 16:44 I know Dream Evil, I found them cringy at some point, I don't know whether I should give them another chance. Maybe if i have the time for it, but i doubt I'll like them these days. At least with Labyrinth, i did enjoy a few of their albums in the past. I'm listening to their debut album right now and i think it's quite good. I still need a special mood for this band, I don't remember which of their album i considered a dud, i know they have a terrible one at least.
