Haunt

Powerwolf, Alestorm, Gloryhammer, Beast in Black, Manowar

I request power metal recommendations, please.

Blind Guardian (earlier stuff was primarily speed metal)

Unleash the Archers

Unlucky Morpheus

I hesitate to recommend Iced Earth since the bandleader is a raging POS but they fit the bill

Nightwish is more symphonic than power but they’re top notch and might scratch that itch

Don’t forget BaK, bakmusic.bandcamp.com/

power metal

If you let hardcore bleed into the selection a bit, here are some favorites:

• Pantera
• Godsmack
• NIN (Broken EP has more power metal in it than industrial, see “Last”)
• Rollins Band (End of Silence is so great)
• Hatebreed (Concrete Confessional and Supremacy)
• Chimaira
• Lamb of God (dubiously power, more death but that’s ok)

I went to Kamelot’s show last weekend, if you don’t know them definitely check them out. Opening act was Ad Infinitum, I didn’t know them but I was blown away! Melissa Bonny is an amazing singer.
