power metal
power metal is the description for today’s “true heavy metal” sound. power metal bands are always guitar driven, with keyboards rarely making much of an appearance. the vocals are of the clean sounding variety, and usually feature very powerful, talented vocalists who can really reach the upper ranges of the vocal spectrum.
generally, the songs are fast paced, and employ fantasy themes including (but not limited to) dragons, gladiators, warriors, valhalla, lord of the rings, polished steel weapons, and generally conceptual themes that deal with very “manly” concepts, at least in a historical sense. you will rarely find songs about love, sadness, or failure.
power metal is very uplifting, powerful music, that appeals to people who like to get inspiration from their tunes. catchy, epic, and generally enjoyable as h-ll, power metal is a great genre that, regrettably, far too few people know about.
lost horizon is the finest example of power metal in the world today.

a form of metal. power metal takes its roots from 80’s metal bands such as iron maiden, manowar, and dio. power metal usually employs the use of guitar and vocal harmonies, with the vocals in almost every case being sung cleanly (one excpetion is demoniac, which is blackened power). drummers in this genre must be very adept with double-b-ss pedals, for they are almost constantly using them.
being a very melodic style of metal, power metal is very intricate and difficult to write. it is one of the most difficult genres of metal to play, with progressive (and neocl-ssical) being possibly more difficult.
lyrics commonly found in power metal are based around mythology, elves, war, greed, weaponry (most commonly swords), brotherhood, horses, magic, demons, dragons, and other fantasy-based topics. this makes power metal a perfect choice for d&d players (sadly, i am one) and people who enjoy fantasy novels.
