On power metal, I've tried to get into it a few times now but it never sticks. At best I'll find a song or two that stick out to me, such as Metal Church's Metal Church from the album Metal Church.

power metal's kinda like bluegrass where three minutes of it every once in a while is more than enough

bands that incorporate elements of it into genres that don't suck can be tolerable though

This and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJhi43RntJk will always be my go-to Finntroll jams.

Tenngar Calvary's Blood Sacrifice Shaman is worth a listen if you want folk metal, and so is the The Lion's Daughter and Indian Blanket collaboration A Black Sea although that may read more as a metal-folk mashup.

how about this first song of a debut album. its a very good song.

There's a long list of bands in powermetal you could check out, but it's doubtful you'll find any diamonds if you're not into the genre.

Blind Guardian would have shaped your world, if you were a kid, a fantasy buff and a metalhead at the same time. But I think we missed that train.

Korpiklaani have sorta gotten up their own asses on the most recent albums and it's loving boring as hell. Their older stuff is much better.

Well, some of the other songs from that Abhorrence EP aren't half bad. The Four Billion Year Dream even sounds like Finnish death metal, which I consider clutch for a death metal band from Finland. Still pretty disappointing overall.

I have never liked Hansi Kürsch's voice and most people who cover Blind Guardian improve the song by actually singing it well.

It's actually impressive just how objectively wrong an opinion can be :colbert:

From TFtTW to NiME, they were the kings of power metal, no questions asked. Including Hansi's massive pipes.

Couple interesting releases today, new Gorod and Esoctrilihum but most importantly new Rise of the Northstar. It's less of a beatdown hardcore crossover album and more of a crossover groove nu metal album which works really well.
