The Official Power Metal Recommendations Thread


RelentlessOblivion

Recommended Posts

Re: great albums I've always loved HammerFall's Renegade album. Fall From Grace by Borealis is good too. Thy Majestie's Jeanne D'Arc is awesome as well. My favorite power metal album is really a prog/power album. Chapter II: The Aftermath by Harmony is absolutely fantastic - the mood, power and technicality are all there. :mrgreen: Not a very well-known band, but they definitely deserve more recognition.

Re: great albums good idea, I like to do that with bands, for example I have all the Megadeth albums and their sound has changed a lot since Killing Is My Business, Slayer have changed a lot since Show No Mercy, still trying to track down the first two Maiden albums but their sound with Bruce changed a lot between albums

Re: great albums

after hearing Hamony - Chapter II: Aftermath Iceni I agree if they aren't getting cred they should be' date=' their singer has a great voice, their guitar playing is awesome and their lyrics are pretty good too[/quote'] And that's why they're my favorite band! Couldn't have asked for a nicer recommendation, thanks! :mrgreen: In the meantime, Futures End has an album Memoirs Of A Broken Man. This is essential for anyone who likes powerful, groovy and technical guitars. Absolutely GREAT stuff, just listened to it today. It has a traditional power metal touch to it, but it's extremely good.

Re: great albums in the meantime I've got plenty to keep me busy I've added the Excalion, Rob Rock and Serenity albums to my collection, more solid suggestions thanks Iceni, and returntocarthage I already have Burnt Offerings and it is a great album but by no means the only good Iced Earth album

Re: great albums Then you're probably off to a good start. Into A New Dimension is probably their harshest album. I love 'Facing The Liar'. Farewell is probably their weakest album though, so do some research before deciding whether to get that one. 'Eye Of The Storm' is an improvement: it has got some really strong moments. Still though, I'm most pleased with Hero. ...dang, now I really want to listen to 'Facing The Liar'.
