Is anyone here into Power Metal or Symphonic Metal? I myself am a fan of Dragonforce, Sonata Arctica, Nightwish and CrimsonFire and others.
I think the only power metal band I listen to is Nightwish. I can't stand Dragonforce. A couple months ago I played their latest album (the one with "Through the Fire and the Flames" included) but I didn't really pay attention to when songs changed, so I almost never knew when the songs were changing. It seems to me all they do is focus on playing as fast as possible without really regarding the quality of the songs themselves. But to each their own.
I really like dragonforce, but yeah it takes a while to find where the songs change, although some are pretty easy to find. Have you heard any of there earlier stuff imo it's better but you probably still wouldn't like it if you can't stand there later stuff.
Nah, I've never heard their earlier stuff. I don't think I want to, either. I'd like to point out, I think they're amazing musicians. I just don't like the music they make.
Dream Evil, Iced Earth, and Dragonforce are three of my favorites. Other ones that I like are: Running Wild Blind Guardian Prime Evil Falconer and Olympos Mons
Nightwish and Within Temptation I like a lot. Some things like Blind Guardian and Symphony X aren't bad either.
Dragonforce, Nightwish, Sonata Arctica, Dream Theater, Sabaton, Firewind, Dream Evil and Hammerfall for me
Nightwish is another favorite. How could I forget? I also listen to Symphony X but not a whole lot. Then there's Van Canto. Sorta Power Metal. But they're only 5 singers and a drummer. So it's really you're call. They're called, power(or hero)-metal a Capella.
