Well I've recently been checking out a good bit of bands, including Rhapsody. Well, wow ... they're like, almost my favorite band now. I have Symphony of the Enchanted Lands (1), and it's pretty impressive. (So you were right Ziff, and others )

But yeah, I'm basically looking for good Power Metal bands. Whether they're just Power, or Power Symphonic like Rhapsody, doesn't matter.

Avantasia is pretty good from what I have, but nothing "amazing". A lot of their stuff I like, while there's also a good bit of songs I didn't care for.

Kamelot, isn't bad, but sounds way too much like Edguy at times.

Therion, well they're different. Don't really know what to say about them, but they're not bad.

So, any suggestions?

I know I've said again and again, that I don't care for Blind Guardian, but I guess I honestly haven't really given them a chance. I have heard a few songs by them, and didn't care for them, but maybe it was just a bad album or something, so I'm willing to hear more from them. (Since so many people like them, I guess they can't be that bad?)

Symphony X, I like them a lot. But sometimes I'm just not in the mood for them, and I wouldn't say they're as good as Rhapsody in my opinion.

Anyways, Power Metal is easily my favorite genre in music, but I'm pretty new to it, so I'm not to sure where to start. This site has proven to be a good source so far.

And just a heads up, take in mind I don't really enjoy female vocals. (So I'm unsure if I'll like Nightwish, but I've heard they're pretty overated anyways). I'm not sexist at all, I just don't like female vocals.

So yeah, any help? Suggestions?

Iron...Maiden? A lot of people would say they're not power metal...but they sound like it to me.

Also, maybe you'd like Queensr

Sonata Arctica.
Hammerfall.
Dragonheart.
Dragon Force.
Lucia Turelli.
Kamelot.
Blind Guardian.
Demons & Wizards.
403 (add me to AIM and I can send you MP3izzles).
Manowar.
Therion (some of their stuff is powerish...Like Crowning of Atlantis).
Morgana Lefay.

I probably have more, but those are some good bands for starters.

Abnormal Freak - Yeah, most people just label Iron Maiden as "Heavy". (I myself do)

But yeah, Queensryche is pretty good. I have their Empire album and I'd say I like it a lot, but I've heard Operation Mindcrime is better.

Children of Bodom ... yeah, I think of heard of them. But death vocals? I'm not much of a fan for that kind of stuff, if the music is good I probably wouldn't mind though.

Speaking of Therion, I've seen some weird Genre's that they've been labeled in. One was "Thrash Symphonic Gothic".

So yeah, I'll check some of those out.
