Title is it essentially, I was listening to some bands and noticed power metal largely falls into two distinct categories: Fantasy, and Historic, which do you prefer? In my opinion, I’ll always prefer fantasy, being a huge nerd doesn’t help, but it’s always been better to listen about dragons and quests than historic battles and random pilots
Drove to Laval yesterday for the first date of their North American tour opening up for Alestorm, and Bradley Hall was not present. No mention of the missing guitarist from the band at all during the show. Musically, it sounded fine, which made me wonder if they used a lot of backing music. Does anyone have a clue why he wasn't present? left the band or just missing in action?
New Dimhav album is out, be sure to check it out!
All I want is some blazing guitar solos
I’m trying to google more info on this but since they are a smaller band don’t see anything.
Damn, this sucks. I know there was already stuff happening with Tom and now this. I really liked Midnight Blitz too ☹️
One deep cut from 2004 🎸🤘

The context here is that I'm diving into power metal history by writing about sampling a smattering of the classics - using this article from Metalstorm the jumping off point. My own preferences and this thread, respectively, singled out Warlord's And The Cannons Of Destruction Have Begun... and Helloween's Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part II for further scribbling in the coming months.
Now, the original article also lists a bunch of additional records to go along with the main list. Even more so than the main list, it's an absolute subjective hodgepodge, but in theory at least they're from the same general era and style, or in some way seemed to the Metalstorm author like a good Y for fans of X. Unlike the previous list, these are all totally new to me, so I want to listen to/write about one of them too.
So, of these specific choices, which of these is the best and/or most interesting, and why?
Havent really been keeping up with the scene as of late. Big and small bands, doesnt matter, just interrested on whats new.
I am aware that blind guardian is a very popular band, and I understand why but I personally haven't really enjoyed their music much, until I discovered 'architects of doom' from the god machine (2022), which feels very different to the songs of theirs I had heard before.
It is way more industrial and aggressive, has a fast-paced feel with a slower chorus. And I really like it, so I'm wondering if there are any other songs like it either from blind guardian or any other PM bands.
Thank you in advance. Can't wait to listen to your suggestions.
