power metal owns... Blind Guardian, Iced Earth, Nightwish :rock: its one of those genres which has always confused me.....something like Speed metal, math rock and goth metal....
Power metal is "epic". Its made of "steel" and so on. As far as i've seen power metal tends to be happier. Btw, where have you been for so much time?
Just finished my two hectic years in Singapore! As to your definitions, the happy part is optional, as is the epic part and the speed part. I guess thats the beauty of power metal. You can have so much n yet not be similar to other power metal bands.
