Your top its perfect
@@denijaya5025Iron Maiden Is Not Power Metal
NOBODY in Europe listens to Symphony X! They just wanted to put in another U.S. power metal band (Manowar is absolutely RIGHTFULLY in this list, just to be clear)! Leaving out Stratovarius and Hammerfall (who f**king revived the power metal scene!) is a cardinal sin!!! And while I'm happy as a German metal fan, that Helloween and Blind Guardian - rightfully, in my opinion - take the top spots, I'd like to give an honorable mention to another German legendary band, Running Wild, who created the whole pirate metal genre, that many of us love as well. Stay positive, folks! Just as "The Dude" from "The Big Lebowski" perfectly says: "Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, MY opinion, man..." 😉✌🍻
Power Metal is incomplete Without Angra, Stratovarius & Avantasia!
Finnaly somone mentions Avantasia...
What about dragonforce
Edguy it's better than Avantasia (Or just for me)
Avantasia.. you mean Edguy?
My favorite band STRATOVARIUS \m/
Stratovarius, Sabaton, Hammerfall, X Japan, Running Wild, Angra, plz
+Juan Pablo Biscarra finally someone to mention X you sir are awesome
X is a kick ass band but they are more symphonic like nightwish is.
Your forgot powerwolf.......
Juan Pablo Biscarra where’s Helloween
Sabaton = shit cheap metal
"MY PERSONAL FAVORITE" power metal bands:
1. Stratovarius
2. Helloween
3. Angra
4. Rhapsody
5. Sonata Arctica
6. Dark Moor
7. Blind Guardian
8. Lost Horizon
9. Luca Turilli
10. HammerFall
11. Gamma Ray
12. Edguy
13. Kamelot
14. DragonForce
15. Sabaton
16. Avantasia
17. Freedom Call
18. Heavenly
19. Labyrinth
20. Metalium
21. Dionysus
22. Fairyland

Edit: Bands like Nightwish, Within Temptation, Epica, Tristania, Sirenia, Leaves' Eyes, After Forever, Lacuna Coil, Edenbridge, Xandria, Trail Of Tears, The Sins Of Thy Beloved, Theatre Of Tragedy, The Dark Element, Evanescence, or Amberian Dawn are all Gothic to me. I love them too, and my favorite from those is Therion.
i disagree with the 1st one and would put helloween as first but i support to death your right to say it
@@obnoxiouslisper1548 Yeah, if you read the first sentence, I said "my personal favorite". Helloween are still the biggest band, specially because of both Keeper albums.
@mike gramm Power metal is a subgenre of heavy metal combining characteristics of traditional heavy metal with speed metal, often within symphonic context. Generally, power metal is characterized by a faster, lighter, and more uplifting sound, in contrast with the heaviness and dissonance prevalent for example in extreme metal..
also idk if you realised this but it was a voltaire reference
@mike gramm you can literally make a power metal song sbout going to taco bell
@@obnoxiouslisper1548 For me the most important aspects are the use of power chords and melody, even if it is no fast, or doesn't have symphonic elements, but it still sounds melodic, and it has power chords, it is still power metal.
It is definitely a subgenre of heavy metal, but the melodic aspect of it is what distinguishes it. Basically all those uplifting sounding choruses people can sing along in concerts that have their own vocal melody.
Listen to the band Magic Kingdom for example, songs like "No Mercy For The Enemy", "Sleeping Beauty", "I'm A Lionheart", "Monte Cristo", "In The Name Of Heathen Gods", "Evil Magician", they are all perfect representations of what power metal is, and how it sounds.
10 - Shaman (Andre Matos)
9 - Rhapsody
8 - Stratovarius
7 - Sonata Artica
6 - Hammerfall
5 - Avantasia
4 - Angra
3 - Blind Guardian
2 - Sabaton
1 - Helloween
Sabaton? Powerwolf? Gloryhammer? Hammerfall? Battle Beast? Nightwish is fucking symphonic and Manowar is heavy metal. They're both amazing bands, but they aren't power metal
Fingolfinator those bands are just my opinion. Not trying to say they're the best of the best
Civil War mb?
Fingolfinator you have listened to Civil War, right? They are easily one of the best modern power metal bands
I would've included Sabaton, Powerwolf and Stratovarius, I fricking hate dragon force lol.
Antivorg Dragonforce is start to getting a little annoying
HammeFall? Powerwolf?
powerwolf is good, but most of their songs sound the same, while hammerfall is considered heavy metal by many, i still like both bands tho
hammerfall is the most power metal band i know wtf
mäximum There are bands that are way more Power Metal than Hammerfall. They have a trad metal bent. Blind Guardian for example is ridiculously power metal lol
mäximum agreed!! Hammerfall reignited the genre in the mid 90’s!!
Powerwolf is Not famous enough.
Angra? HammerFall? Stratovarius ?
Angra , HammerFall, Stratovarius,
hangar, Sabaton, Grave Digger,
+Faruk Wilson
Primal Fear !
If we're gonna go into technicalities HammerFall is not power but just regular heavy metal, speed metal at best, Grave Digger is AMAZING but its NOOOoooooOOT Power Metal either, again, just regular heavy metal with some other influences.
Avantasia?
Perhaps Dio also. I always refer to this genre as a that one that emphasize on the vocalist capabilities
The exclusion of STRATOVARIUS is extremely shocking. To me they are just brilliant musicians - song construction, and mindblowing guitarwork in particular.
Hammerfall
No Stratovarius? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!
+Álvaro José Flórez Muñoz seriously!!
Nightwish are incredible but they're not power metal.
+Oliver Hayhoe They were symphonic power metal in Oceanborn and Wishmaster.
AnnihilAnthrax But they're symphonic metal now!
Baby metal in my opinion
More opera metal
The first albums are Power Metal, influenced for Stratovarius
No Sabaton... this list is invalid.
+Milsurp Mike WERE is sabaton ??????
Loudvire is a fakin joke
+panther _z and WERE is Running Wild
panther _z sabaton isn't on here because they are lame and joakim is a horrible singer
Gurkensuppe I think you're just salty because you can't make your voice deeper like Joakim has, fucking infidel.
This list is valid*
Ftfy
Well, not really. No Stratovarius or Hammerfall, and Nightwish and Symphony X aren't power metal. But Sabaton is not a top ten power metal band. They're good, just not that good.
My top 10
10 DragonForce
9 Angra
8 Edguy
7 Sonata Arctica
6 Gamma Ray
5 Rhapsody Of Fire
4 HammerFall
3 Stratovarius
2 Blind Guardian
1 Helloween
I would put powerwolf somewhere on there
Edguy but not Avantasia? You got my respects
I woud put sabaton 1
ĐELE they’re not the best
@@dylanblack8714 for me thy are and thats my free opinion
as happy I am DragonForce is here I'm kinda sad stratovarius isnt
Stratovarius, yngwie malmsteen, manowar, DragonForce, balance, nightwish, avantasia, riot (v), blind guardian, helloween, and black tide.
The essentials for any power metal fan.
@@davemarriott985 Lmao no.
@@ektoras3863 why no 😂😂
All subjective. I'm a huge Rhapsody in Fire fan.
i dont know why but Power metal makes me want to saly a fucking dragon and go on an adventure with a bunch of wizards
Hmmmmmm, you know I think I may have an idea why. This might be a longshot, but I think this could be your answer. The reason you want to go slay a fucking dragon with a bunch of wizards while listen to Power Metal, is because Power Metal is LITERALLY ABOUT SLAYING DRAGONS WITH WIZARDS
Fingolfinator depends on the band
frig off
MISTRY... haha dork!!
haha
I'm glad they put Helloween at number 1
At least that!
@Ben iirc Blind Guardian didn't care for the title of Power Metal inventor and let Helloween have it, since they both did it at the same time.
@Ben I think that's down to the fact that Blind Guardian's sound didn't really get found until 1990, and that Helloween were already on the radar as early as '85.
Nighitwish is power metal since when ?
They're Symphonic Metal like Epica...
Nightwish is Symphonic Power like Rhapsody
since the band was founded. In their early days there was no such a thing as Symphonic metal
look it up they are symphonic power metal.
THE is Nightwish epica is opra metal bands and some more
kreshBACON c'mon Symphonic and power metal are essentially the same thing
Dragonforce at 9 is a joke and no Sabaton further proves this channels ignorance toward power metal
Dragon force on this list is a joke...
CrazyComicGuy and Idiot-gamers! Agreed Dragonforce is not good
no other names to think of Sabaton isn’t the best
I don’t wanna get hate for this but I like DragonForce that just my opinion,
Dragonforce on any list is a joke
Power metal's my most favorite metal subgenre and I love a lot of the bands here. Other bands worth mentioning : Sabaton, Lost Horizon, Stratovarius, HammerFall, Powerwolf, Gloryhammer, Twilight Force.
Other bands still worth checking: Pyramaze, Iron Fire, Iron Savior, Firewind, Edguy, Brothers of Metal, Kamelot, Bloodbound, Avantasia, Freedom Call, Tarot, Primal Fear, Dragony, Manticora.
Sabaton got me started with power metal. It's my favorite genre too!
You should check out Lords of the Trident and Orden Ogan
Stratovarius not being here is almost an insult, they're pioneers of the genre alongside helloween
Where the hell is Stratovarius?
Primal Fear and Angra are missing, too.
WTF???
Manowar Power Metal? And no Stratovarius? Shame on you...
ikr
+Hugo Hayden Wernec No doubt. After seeing Symphony X on the list i was almost expecting them to put Dream Theater as their 1st or 2nd. Could have really used Hammerfall on the list in place of the 'not so power metal' bands also.
+Stefano Mei Manowar and Nightwish shoul be out so that those two would take place.And Hammerfall is also really missing.
No. Manowar is power metal it's just that they take a bit more of speed metal roots
aleczander gielfeldt Just like Helloween says they're speed?
Power metal is my favorite subgenre of metal
My top 10 greatest power metal bands
Helloween
Gamma Ray
Primal Fear
Hammerfall
Blind Guardian
Running Wild
Edguy
Iron Savior
Masterplan
Angra
Rhapsody?
Sabaton and Avantasia? :/
Sabaton!!
+AllAboutNightcore SABATON!!
FUCKING SABATON!!
both
+Marin Simeonov Also, Iron Maiden.
NO STRATOVARIUS ???
My top 10 would be:
Helloween
Avantasia
Edguy
Powerwolf
Stratovarius
Blind Guardian
Hammerfall
Sabaton
Iced Earth
Gamma Ray
kreshBACON do you know what the Helloween song in the video is called?
Sonata arctica v:
That is the best list I’ve seen
kreshBACON Hammerfall is not power metal. They've said it themselves
This is pretty much my list,although I'd have Iron Savior in there.That's right, three times the Kai.
A power metal list yet no Hammerfall?
If I'm going off this list, I think my favorite Power Metal band is probably Behemoth.
Behemoth aren't power metal they are pop punk and my favourite is probably slayer or black sabbath
@Evelyn Ratcliff my favourite power metal band has to be blink 182 favourite metalcore band is probably cannibal maiden my favourite of their songs is not afraid of the light.
Same
Behemoth is black/death metal. not power metal, there is a great difference
@@trabeks You don't say...?
These people clearly never listened to power metal. Where’s Stratovarius, Edguy, Angra or Hammerfall and what on Earth is Iced Earth, Nightwish, and Symphony X doing here? Iced Earth isn’t primarily power metal as they play many other genres, Nightwish is symphonic gothic metal, and Symphony X is progressive metal
i dont think gothic metal applies to Nightwish
Symphony x is prog power metal, so it makes sense being on the list lol
You clearly do not know what Power Metal is.
Except for the fact this is from a big metal company that has a lot of information about metal genres and bands.
No, this person who made the video doesnt have a clue. Sabaton isnt on here but night wish somehow
Atleast helloween is top1 considering its the founder of power metal
Zwtt! Manowar found power metal not halloween wtf are you saying
Agreed
Gamma Ray and blind guardian are The best in my Opinion. Nightwish is superb Too, but it's Symphonic! Is anybody here who Knows Mystic prophecy?
gamma ray is just perfect!!!!!!!!!
And Mystic Prophecy is great too
You should check out Orden Ogan ;)
+John Brook i saw em live last year. They kicked ass!
Good day, brother of Metal most Powerful! Can I ask you the title of the song that was featured for Blind Guardian. Thank you and lml.
Anti Hero dont know if you still need it, but that BG Song was 'Nightfall' from the 'Nightfall in Middle-Earth' Album
Where is Sabaton, Powerwolf, Hammerfall, Running Wild, Rainbow, Angra ? (etc). They had to be there.
POWERWOLF AND SABATON??? JAJAJJAJAJAJJAJAJAJAJAJJAJAJJAJAJJAJAAJAJJA STUPID!!!!!!!!!
Angra the best
The bands listed all stand out amongst the crowd. Sabaton, Powerwolf, and HammerFall (as much as I love them) are all generic.
Rainbow not power metal, just hard rock.....I put dream evil in there....power wolf, hammerfall, sabaton could be pagan metal but power metal also....
Edguy as well
My Favo

Where the fuck is Sabaton?
in your heart :)
I don't know how the fuck they excluded Sabaton :/
+Lazar M The people here are just not metal enough xd
Should have at least been in the honorable mentions
Where is the best power metal artist Stratovarius
1- Helloween2- Gamma Ray3- Blind Guardian4- Rhapsody5- Stratovarious6- Hammerfall7- Powerwolf8- Sabaton9- Angra10- Galneryus
you, sir, nailed it.
Wouldn’t put Sabaton on it
No Sabaton?
no tanks for loudwire :D
nii i missä on
No Party!
Sabaton would be nowhere near the top 10 of power metal. They aren't power metal. Trash.
For me
4 hammerfall
3 dragonforce
2 sonata arctica
1 BLEND GERDION (blind guardian )
ERMAGERD
Why is nightwish here?
Johsty Bach fuck you, that's why.
RhythmGrizz
Well you are friendly
Johsty Bach Agreed! Power Metal makes me rise! Nightwish puts me down
Because the first 3-4 albums by Nightwish are still textbook Power Metal, and among the very best in the entire genre?
Because their first 5 albums are power metal as fuck? For eg, listen to Crownless and The Pharaoh Sails to Orion. They sound exactly like or even better than Rhapsody's entire Emerald Sword saga.
Where is Sabaton?
They said "greatest", not the normiest
@Sir Potato They're not even that great, in fact they are EXTREMELY overrated. They are one of the most, if not THE most, generic and lifeless metal band I have ever had the displeasure of hearing
@@raymondpenland4310 How are they normie? They are unique in that their lyrics have deep meaning and they sing about history unlike other bands whose lyrics consist mostly of screaming and not understandable mumbling. You honestly have a terrible taste in music, and I dont even know what youre doing here.
@Sir Potato How are they normie? They are unique in that their lyrics have deep meaning and they sing about history unlike other bands whose lyrics consist mostly of screaming and not understandable mumbling.
@@raymondpenland4310 Mr.cool and edgy coming in here with the "its popular therefore its bad, only true cool kids like me dislike Sabaton.
RE-COMMENT, special thanks to Rodrigo Reyes for telling me the Rhapsody song
Iced Earth - Iced Earth (the one for, their self-titled album NOT the one from Night Of The Stormbringer)
DragonForce - Fury Of The Storm
Rhapsody - The Last Winged Unicorn
Gamma Ray - Last Before The Storm
Sonata Arctica - Don't Say A Word
Nightwish - Nemo
Symphony X - Sea Of Lies
Manowar - Call To Arms
Blind Guardian - Nightfall
Helloween - Back On The Streets
Thank you! Spent the last hour or so trying to figure out the lyrics to the Sonata Arctica song and had failed miserably til you listed the songs!
In my opinion, Blind Guardian - Mirror mirror, Nightwish- the poet and the pendulum, Rhapsody - Emeral sword, en serio que de Helloween elijes una cancion del peor album?Cualquiera del better than row, master of the rings o los keeper, por ejemplo. Y de Manowar cualquiera del kings of metal o louder than hell, el warriors of the world fue el ppio del fin, ahi Adams ya ni grita ni tiene voz, y de Gamma Ray bueno, es un buen tema. Joer estaba escuchando el tema de Helloween y es que es malo a rabiar, un falling higher, sole survivor, i want all, no se cualquiera.
Haha how could u not discover that rhapsody song when u did for all the songs here in the list
is sabaton aren't here u will lose respect for you guys
also I don't expect them to be here but gloryhammer should be here
+TwixtheWizard well uh....you had blind guardian atleast
sabaton is probably influenced by these bands. they are more of a second wave. and sabaton is also considered heavy metal. same with grave digger. its more heavy than power
^ This comment...
Sabaton is not heavy metal, seriously, I listen to them a ton and they have all the bells & whistles associated with power metal. They have some heavy/gritty songs, yes, but most of them are super fast with epic melodies & harmony & the like, imo one of the most easily-defined power metal bands in existence..
My top 5:
5. Gamma Ray
4. Blind Gaurdian
3. Twilight Force
2. Dragonforce
1. Rhapsody
GAMMA RAY !!!!!
I have seen people say what that Sonata Arctica song, and since I'm a nice guy, its called, "Don't Say A Word" your welcome.
Thanks
This list was obviously made by someone who doesn't know much about the genre
Blind Guardian should be No. 1! Best Power Metal Band ever!
Nightwish isn't power metal. And Symphony X is progressive metal. Plus no "top 10 power metal band" list is complete without Hammerfall, Stratovarius, or Kamelot. Loudwire, get your shit together.
I was about to say the same thing! Nightwish really?
Well, Nightwish does have several songs that qualify as power metal, just with a soprano singing instead of your typical high pitched male vocals, especially from the old days, but yes, the ones you mentioned are full on power metal and they're also great, so it makes more sense for those to make the cut.
Business Cat You forgot Angra
Business Cat Hammerfall is not power metal. They've said it themselves.
Where is Sabaton ?!
I would say: 1. gamma Ray 2. Stratovarius 3. Helloween 4. Edguy 5. angra 6 Rhapsody 7 blind Guardian 8 hammerfall 9 sonata Arctica 10 Dragonforce. honorable mentions: virgin Steele, Nocturnal Rites, Running Wild, Rage, and riot.
Angra dude...no Power Metal list is complete without Angra.
totally agree
@@Homesick0.o Yeah
Hammerfall?
Wow,what a wrong list. 1 and 2 are perfect. Gamma Ray should be higher and half these bands are not Power Metal. Where's HammerFall and Stratovarius?
Where was Hammerfall?
Iced Earth is thrash metal.
Nightwish is symphonic metal.
Symphony X is progressive metal.
Manowar is heavy metal.
Iced earth is mixed thrash , heavy and power metal
Where's Limp Bizkit :(
No
+Angus Beef Sandwich i thought Limp Bizkit are Nu metal ?
+Angus Beef Sandwich please don't tell me you are one of the types that calls Ensiferum thrash metal... (I am not exaggerating I have actually talked to somebody who thought that)
Fuckn huuuh? limp biz ain't power metal
+Angus Beef Sandwich Yeah Linkin Park wasn't in this list either, like wtf.
Where's Kamelot?! Sabaton?! Alestorm?!
+Micheal metcalf SABATON XDDDDD
Alestorm would be in the top 20, same Kamelot
But Sabaton? Just no.
dont forget Hammerfall
+dmforever I was thinking number one but the dragon shall remain sleeping I guess
+Micheal metcalf I would call Alestorm Folk Metal over Power Metal personally.
Nah,Alstorm just stole Running Wild's thunder.
Symphony X is progressive metal
Kaysha-Leigh McBurnie or Symphonic *finger guns* ehh
Kaysha-Leigh McBurnie yup
SX is prog-power-symphonic neoclassical metal.
The ten best for here is,
1. Sonata Arctica
2. Kamelot
3. Gamma Ray
4. Helloween
5. Stratovarious
6. DragonForce
7. Blind Guardian
8. Iced Earth
9. Rhapsody
10. Judas Priest
Honorable Mention: Nightwish, when Tarja is a part of it. (Tarja Can Sing in Opera)
Some other good guys: HammerFall, Symphony X.
hearing sonata now for the first time ever. downloading the first 6 albums now
Where the fuck is sabaton???
on their way to heaven, through the Nazi lines
+James Hetfield i think they only include classic/older bands
+Deutschlandball epic
No Edguy or Avantasia... You can't make a worse power metal top.
Edguy/Avantasia!!!!!
Rhapsody from Italy for sure number 1!
since when is nightwish power metal? replace them with avantasia/edguy or lost horizon
What is it if not power metal? Further away than "symphonic power metal" you're not gonna get. They're more power metal than Iced Earth or Symphony X. Symphony X for sure I'd place in Prog/Neo-classical metal.
@@Leyrann nightwish is shitty symphonic Metal
And Stratovarius,Avantasia,Edguy ?
Edguy it's love
nightwish is symphonic metal.. AND WHERE THE HELL IS SABATON???
True bro !!!
Tbh I prefer Blind Guardian over Helloween.
LOL.. Manowar? Dragonforce? Where is Hammerfall, Stratovarius,Angra,Running Wild, Edguy,Rage..
Dragonforce should have been way higher on the list
10 Greatest Viking Metal Bands.
***** Why?
Angra? Sabaton? Powerwolf? Gloryhammer? Hammerfall? Battle Beast? Grave Digger?
10-Sabaton
9-Angra
8-Rage
7-Sonata Artica
6-Raphsody
5-Gamma ray
4-Powerwolf
3-Blind Guardian
2-Dragonforce
1-Heloween
I'm shocked I did not see Sabaton or Hammerfall on here. It just shows Power Metal is deep in talent!
So happy Helloween made the #1 time slot. My favorite power metal band!
I consider Nightwish to be symphonic metal. There's overlap, of course, but they're more symphonic than power.
+Carl Stawicki Pero, eyos simentaron cosas en el power y tiene una corriete power, aunque mas sinfonica, pero power
Basically, Stratovarius created the power metal scene in scandinavia
I think they should do a top ten Folk Metal bands next.
no sabaton?
Right
+Jacob Heise Jr Obviously and thank god that there's no sabaton..
+vermillioN how come?
TheSwedishUploader they are generic and boring as fuck
+vermillioN in what way? Not trying to be a dick just curious.
No Sabaton? No Primal Fear? No Dream Theatre? No Stratovarius? No Powerwolf? No Grave Digger? No Falconer? No Hammerfall?
(Honestly there should have been a mention of Gloryhammer as well even if it was just for jokes, they are great though.)
+D3athChick3n isn't Dream Theater considered Progressive? i've only listened to like... a couple peices so go easy
+John Delamater I mean, I guess. But it has many similar aspects.
Like 3/4 of the bands you listed no one knows about
Wrestle4life10
you probably don't, there are only like, three in that mini-list that i don't know about or haven't heard
+John Delamater which ones bby i will enlighten you
Savatage deserves to be on this list. "Sirens" and "The Dungeons Are Calling" are pioneering albums for the American style of power metal. With "Gutter Ballet" and forwards (where they took a more prog metal approach), they are one of the first metal bands to make extensive use of piano/keyboards, thus paving the way for many, if not all, of the modern "theatrical" metal bands (such as Avantasia, Kamelot, Symphony X, and so on).
Oh come on DragonForce. Is #1
Demons and wizards man...although it was a collaboration...it deserves recognition
Sabaton, Hammerfall, Angra, Edguy, Iron maiden
+William Stenman Powerwolf?
Kalle Kurtakko just mentioned some that i thought of, many more deserve a spot, though i couldn't include all.
+William Stenman Just added to your list.
Kalle Kurtakko thats fine, sorry for misunderstanding, and lets try to get as long of a list as possible.
+William Stenman it's cool, I don't really know that many power metal bands
TOP 5 power-metal bands (my opinion)
1. Sabaton
2. Powerwolf
3.Hammerfall
4. Gloryhammer
5. Just for fun Justin Bieber
SirLunatic LOL! And Also for fun BTS
10. Shaman
9. Iced Earth
8. Sonata Arctica
7. Edguy
6. Blind Guardian
5. Gamma ray
4. Stratovarius
3. Avantasia
2. Angra

Avantasia is glam
Ok... Why the hell there's a Chilean flag in every goddamn concert in history?
we are everywhere man
Vivi bon Sipo cochino qlo
+Miguel Mella Porque somos el mejor publico
dipsi cully

That's where the best crowds are.
Missing Angra was horrid
No Firewind?
My list
1: Helloween
2: Blind Guardian
3: Rhapsody
4: Stratovarius
5: HammerFall
6: DragonForce
7: Edguy
8: Gamma Ray
9: Sonata Arctica
10: Angra
Hm: Avantasia, Kamelot
SERIOUSLY???? HELLOWEEN OVER BLINK-182????? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?????
For real
Maybe because Blink 182 is Pop/Rock😒
Ikr blink182 is the best pm band
+Salvatore Belchi But Blink-182 is black metal, so obviously Helloween would be performing better on a power metal list.
Charudatta Munde pop punk
Symphony X should be in the prog metal section
Yep. It's one of my favourite bands of all times but this is not their league. Nor Manowar's.
FUCK!!!!!!!! BLIND GUARDIAN IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!
Sabaton and Powerwolf?
next time please do not put any songs from Pink Bubble Go Ape and Chameleon to show Helloween as the no 1 in Power Metal category okay...
It was probably cause it was a decent quality live concert with Kiske singing.
Nightwish = Symphonic Metal and Manowar = Traditional Metal imo
First of all Nighwish and Manowar aren't power metal, second WHERE DAFAQ IS HAMMERFALL
***** They're more likely heavy metal though..
nightwish is accepted as power metal, though they're actually symphonic metal, but, hell, they're awesome
her voice fucking annoys me
Nightish is symphonic metal and manowar are battle metal/epic metal
Manowar = Tr00 (true) metal (or m3t4l)
1- Helloween
2- Gamma Ray
3- Stratovarius
4- Sonata Arctica
5- Angra
6- Rhapsody
7- Avantasia
8- Blind Guardian
9- Sabaton
10- Masterplan
(BONUS: 11- Theocracy)
These lists generally intrigue me because I know everyone seems to have a slightly different take on metal. For instance, we were up to number 3 and I started getting nervous if Blind Guardian was going to be mentioned or not, then they appeared. A true sigh of relief, and I'm very glad they were included on this list!
No Sabaton, No Stratovarius, No Hammerfall. Loudwire knows nothing about Power Metal.
sabaton?
Glen Proenings I know right? LoudWire needs to get their shit together.
powerwolf?
I was hoping to see HammerFall, but I ain’t mad. Good list.
They're so underrated
