Why isn’t hyperdrive! or deadhead on there. His Lightwork album is great too.
I like them too but didn’t want to overdo it, as I didn’t know what kind of a metal fan you were. Were you just starting out or expanding your metal music horizons?

It’s fine honey, I got this covered.
Hello officer, I got some Elder with me. Never leave home without them!
Nice I really like it.
You’re dropping recomendations for the majority of the comments here, mad respect!
Have some Stonefield as a treat.
I offer Witchcraft by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
I request power metal recommendations, please.

Blind Guardian (earlier stuff was primarily speed metal)
Unleash the Archers
Unlucky Morpheus
I hesitate to recommend Iced Earth since the bandleader is a raging POS but they fit the bill
Nightwish is more symphonic than power but they’re top notch and might scratch that itch
Don’t forget BaK, bakmusic.bandcamp.com/
I went to Kamelot’s show last weekend, if you don’t know them definitely check them out. Opening act was Ad Infinitum, I didn’t know them but I was blown away! Melissa Bonny is an amazing singer.

- Godsmack
- NIN (Broken EP has more power metal in it than industrial, see “Last”)

- Chimaira
- Lamb of God (dubiously power, more death but that’s ok)
