Just here sharing one of my favorite albums in case anybody cares about this type of music. This masterpiece is from Brazilian act Shaman and has the legendary vocals of the late Andre Matos. Makes me feel I'm in the Shire fighting off Saruman and his minions

This is better imo. It's got much more feeling and better songwriting by far.

I have DragonForce and similar bands in shuffle playlists (including my workout playlist and my shooting zombies in Call Of Duty playlist) but I don't have a playlist totally dedicated to them. It's not the kind of music I can listen to for a long time in a row.

Power metal is my favorite genre lol. I like some of DragonForce's stuff and feel they get a lot more hate than justified

favorite band is Gamma Ray

Now and then Power can be fun, but it's best when it's mixed with other(superior) genres.

Also I adore that album art. It looks like Lisa Frank threw up on a Yositaka Amano sketch.

I think some bands I like are considered power metal, like Sonata Arctica. But I don't really pay attention to genre to the point where I can tell where each band falls.

I have literally never heard any DragonForce song other than Through the Fire and Flames. It's okay for an occasional listen.

I dont listen to it as much as I once did but I was massively into it in high school and college. Blind Guardian, Rhapsody, Freedom Call, etc. I have kind of drifted away from the genre over the years but I still have my moods

I dont think Dragonforce is bad, I even have copies of Valley of the Damned and Inhuman rampage in a CD sleeve somewhere or another, but I have a hard time listening to more than one or two songs at a time. Theyre like the musical equivalent of cotton candy, it tastes nice but basically disentigrates as soon as you get your mouth on it and makes you sick before you finish it. They have the same song structure on 90% of their tracks and their lyrics are so vapid and meaningless that you could swap them between songs pretty much effortlessly and no one would ever tell the difference

A couple songs of theirs, but Power Metal is great, Metal that you can actually understand the singer and they have that grand epic voice can't be beat, and sounds far better than that pig sequel crap.

Thrash and Heavy Metal will always reign supreme though.

I go through phases with them. I'll listen to a few songs every now and again, then won't listen to them for months, or years.

At the end of it all, all their songs sound far too similar.

Sabaton is power metal right? I like their stuff, but otherwise I'm indifferent to power metal so it isn't a genre I go out of my way to listen to.

No

if anything theyre sort of proto-power metal in that pretty much every power metal band can trace some influence back to them
