YTSEJAM Digest 6030 Today's Topics: 1) Re: Power Metal??? by "Rob Pociluk" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 23 Nov 2001 13:50:53 -0500 From: "Rob Pociluk" To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: Re: Power Metal??? Message-ID: Pantera, Machine Head and the others mentioned below are NOT power metal. I think someone is VERY confused here. Power Metal does apply to bands like Stratovarius, Angra, Helloween, Symphony X, Blind Guardian and the like. Groove-oriented metal is not power metal. Never has been.

However, since when have the bands you mentioned ever been power metal??? Power-Metal is characteristic of very heavy distortion, double bass, very groove oriented metal with the melody (if there is any) provided by the vocalist or cookie monster impersonator. Pantera, Diecast, Diesel Machine, Machinehead, are without a doubt Power-Metal. Kamelot, Helloween, Gamma Ray, Rhapsody, Angra, and Symphony-X are all awe inspiring bands that kick ass. Yet, to call them "power metal" is a stretch. Almost like calling Poison "thrash metal".
