Good French Power/Classic Metal?

Is there any out there? Most of the French metal I've found is either metal or in English. So, is there any French power or classic metal out there? (preferably with French vocals)

Trust?

Or if you are cool - Opus?

Do you know anywhere to listen to Opus on the internet?

Trust sounds good, btw, thanks! \m/

Trust did the original Anthrax tune "Anti-Social". And I screwed up - I was thinking of "Obus" who are actually from Spain or Portugal - but they are legends non-the-less!

Ahh, okay. Oddly enough, there is a French symphonic metal band called Opus! But they had no albums listed, so I was wondering.

But yes, Obus is a great band indeed. (they're Spanish, just so ya know)

I sold their debut for somewhere in the $50 range about a year ago. Classic stuff - and hard as hell to find over here [stateside].

I vaguely remember hearing a French metal band called "Vulcain" years ago, also an '80s hard rock/hair metal style band called "FISC"

There was a band called Oxenkiller that only put out one EP called Monsters of Steel back around '87. They were kind of Judas Priest-ish.
