Would you buy this?

Addy I am not a fan of the 'power metal genre' either with an exception of a small handful of bands

Manny theres alot of bands that I think we both have in common, when I first started posting here It was alot of your old posts I was reviving cuz they were some good bands. But I can relate I normally can find at least one or two bands in almost any genra that would be the exception I mean hell I generally am not into Rap or Hip Hop but I do like some (as an example)

Addy I think there are a lot of bands in the
power metal genre that would interest you. I just dont think the euro
style fits well with you and even me. I like the more melodic almost
melodic metal style like Nocturnal Rites and Excalion. Bands like
Helloween, Gamma Ray, and Dragonforce do nothing for me.

Here are 2 examples of the more melodic side of it..

Rob thanks for posting these two samples of these two bands, of the two you posted I really liked Excalion over Nocturnal Rites but of all the ones posted in this thread so far those two you posted for me are the best. Like I said to Manny I can normally find a few exceptions in almost any genra, Including Heavy Metal and Im not opposed to opening myself up to check out stuff of bands in genras I dont necessarily like. One of the reasons why I have checked every single one you've posted. Would I buy any of this. Excalion I would most likely pick up if i saw it in the store. I'll be honest I wasnt aware there was a difference between Euro and Non Euro I guess would be the coined label? Heh, Yeah Id say Euro Power Metal is NOT for me. I'd like to check more into Nocturnal Rites and more Excalion but Excalion really impressed me.

Excalion are def one of my favs and I highly recommend Water Lines. That cd blows my mind. As far as Nocturnal Rites if you liked that sound I suggest you go with The 8th SIn as its a lot more melodic then work backwards as the further back you go the darker the band was...

Looks like Ill be spending some time on Youtube hehe

F5 features Dave Ellefson from Megadeth as well as a drummer who played for them if Im not mistaken...

I liked this as well

Great song indeed and thats the style of power metal I love. It has to have groove and be very melodic at the same time...

Ive probobly listened to about 6 or 7 different songs by this band and I liked most of them, definitly can see myself getting a CD or two by them.

I do gotta say about power metal in general while I dont like the Euro Power Metal style/formula whatever alot of Power Metal bands have kick ass album covers that I gotta give credit for

I did a few more songs for Excalion and it wasnt near the caliber on the one ya posted here for me, thats how i found Dionysus

You might check out Saint Deamon if you haven't.

You should definetely get Waterlines by Excalion. Pretty awesome and some of the tracks are really great. The Wingman is a great opener.

The other songs i checked out by Excalion were from that album

I only own Excalion's Waterlines and that album blows me away. Highly recommended. The song I posted is one of my fav power metal songs ever. Their newest album is a step in the more melodic style but still pretty powerfull...

Heading in a different direction again...

Decemberists all I can say is WHOA I really REALLY like this I liked all the songs posted

You plan on putting this on your want list? Glad you liked Addy and Im digging this as well. The whole album is up on youtube and I have listened to every track and this might be a winner for me as well.

Chewie I have not heard of Anekdoten, but will check them out here in a few...
