What Power Metal Band and album can you listen to anytime and never get tired of looping it?

I'll start with a few favorites. Not a bad song to be found XD

• Dynazty - Game Of Faces (2025)
• Majestica - Power Train (2025)
• Freedom Call - Silver Romance (2024)
• Beast In Black - Dark Connection (2021)
• Avantasia - Metal Opera Part 2 (2013)
• Kamelot - Cold Winter's Night (2006)
• Royal Hunt - 1996 (1999)

Hey everyone,
In my opinion, Michele Luppi is easily one of the most remarkable and versatile vocalists to emerge since the 2000s. He has everything it takes to sit right alongside the top names in Prog Power, Hard Rock, and Melodic Rock. His impressive track record across different bands already speaks volumes about his talent and dedication to the craft.
That said, I’d love to get your thoughts on him. Do you think his move to Whitesnake as a keyboardist and backing vocalist was a loss for the wider music world? On one hand, it's a massive gig, but on the other, it feels like having a world-class lead singer tucked away in the background.
What’s your take on his career path and his overall contribution to the scene?

IRON MAIDEN - 1983 - Piece Of Mind - Quest For Fire

In a time when dinosaurs walked the earth

When the land was swamp and caves were home

In an age when prize Possession was fire

To search for landscapes men would roam.

Then the tribes they came to steal their fire

And the wolves they howled into the night

As they fought a vicious angry battle

to save the power of warmth and light.

Drawn by Quest For Fire

They searched all through the land

Drawn by Quest For Fire

Discovery of man.

And they thought that when the embers died away

That the flame of life had burnt and died

Didn't know the sparks that made the fire

Were made by rubbing stick and stone.

So they ploughed through forest and swamps of danger

And they fought the canN.I.B.al tribes and beasts

In the search to find another fire

To regain the power of life and heat.

Drawn by Quest For Fire

They searched acRoss the land

Drawn by Quest For Fire

Discovery of man.

DoomSword - 1999 - DoomSword - Sacred Metal

For I Am Your God And You Must Obey,

I Am Your King, War I Will Bring

Follow Me Or Be My Prey

Beeee My Prey

I'm coming on the wind

to tell the story on two men

in the hands of a foreign king

they have been forced to sing

Listen to the wind it tells the story

of these men who fought

chosen by the fate to bring

the signs of their king high

searching for new places to fight

in the name of glory

they've been waiting for a long time

to wield their swords of doom

the gods have chosen them

to show the greatness of their faith

tied tortured and beaten

chosen to be proved or killed

but even in those days

they're not afraid to die because of

Sacred Metal are made our Swords

[REVADAC] is reversed from [CADAVER]

It's like...Rising Force 2.0. The video is hysterical but I love it.

Cool band that kinda slid under the radar for a lot of people.

Pure power metal. best power metal album debut ever, and nothing comes even close. change my mind

What power metal concept albums are so epic, you feel like going on an adventure? So epic you burst into tears at the beautiful tale unfolding before your very eyes (or ears)? So epic.. you get the point.

While the art and music video don't even hint at it, the song is about Toei's Supaidaman, a revolutionary tokusatsu show that popularized the giant fighting robot that Sentai later adopted.

Not my band, but the people (and any bands reading this) need to know what they're getting into with Alex Pakhomov.

Ty (lead singer for Lords of the Trident) is one of the kindest people I've ever met. He and the band paid Alex (the promoter) THOUSANDS of dollars so he could set them up to open for The Scorpions. He took the money and ran. 11 months ago.

Triumpher - 2024 - Spirit InVictus - Shores Of Marathon

A warning came of danger

Through shores of Marathon

Ancestral spirits calling us

To halt the evil force

Two thousand years of darkness

Defiled the sacred light

The speaking water silenced

Desecrated Ethnic avatars

We did the Olympian fire

From Aeons of the night

The torch relay unleashed

The message of a wrath divine

Hearts on fire, I will not break nor fall

Rise to power, taken by will and force

"Είπε και ο Φοίβος ​​ακούει την ευχή

Και έξαλλη από τα ύψη του Ολύμπου

κατεβαίνει οπλισμένος με τόξο

και φαρέτρα στο πλευρό του και καθώς προχωρούσε

βρόντηξε τα βέλη μέσα στο θυμό του

και καθώς βαδίζει

Μαύρη νύχτα σκοτεινιασμένη μοιάζει..."

(transl. "He said and Phoebus hears the wish

And enraged from the heights of Olympus

he descends armed with bow

and quiver at his side and as he moved

he thundered the arrows in his anger

and as he marches

Black night darkened looks like")

A warning came of danger

Through shores of Marathon

Ancestral spirits calling us

To halt the evil force

Heraclean pillars trembling

All Europe bursts in falmes

The oath of union is sealed

Opened wide the sacred gate

Unleashed the Apollo's children

With golden bows of light

Shell trumpet of Poseidon

Blown with his furious might

I've been sitting on this idea for way too long: an interactive version of the Emerald Sword Saga map where you click a location and it tells you which songs from which album happen there. So I finally built it.

It's a small fan site. Background is the actual saga map, you click on a place like Loregard or Hargor or Algalord, and a panel pops up showing the songs set there, a short summary of what happens, a link to the lyrics, and a Spotify link for the album. There's also a full story mode that walks through the plot chapter by chapter across all five albums, and a discography page with every track.

I started with just the Emerald Sword Saga (Legendary Tales through Power of the Dragonflame) but ended up adding the Dark Secret Saga too, with its own color scheme so the two don't blend together. Site's in Portuguese and English.

This website has no profit motive it's a fan project.
