This is why Symphonic power metal is amazing

What an amazing performance by Kamelot, this was the song that made me a symphonic power metal fan. Not just the music, but the over the top show also.

I love a lot of symphonic metal bands, but I just do not like Kamelot. I tend to prefer female leads, so I enjoy Epica, Dark Sarah, Delain (now broken up :messenger_crying: ), Diabulus in Musica, Within Temptation and Nightwish.

If you think that's something, you should have seen prime GWAR shows. Music was way worse, but what a performance.

Actually, I'm not sure if the average person would really appreciate a GWAR show, now that I spent some time looking for a video example. It's probably just a me thing.

I like this. I also like meatloaf this kind of the same operatic over the top music. I love it. Not ironically. As in I love it. Nat out of hell one of the greatest rocks songs ever. Queen and Bohemian Rhapsody.

Night wish was the band I got into that were similar to Kamelot. But not too familiar with all metal like this. Can anyone suggest me some?

Serenity are hella underrated. This track is epic

I don't know why this type of music isn't more popular over here. It almost never gets played on sirusxm Liquid Metal for instance. I love it though.

By over here do you mean North America? It is funny because Kamelot is American.

Yeah, NA. The current state of metal here is pretty sad. I won't even dignify Clear Channel as they were never much into anything past nu-metal but siriusXM has a venue that ought to have more of this stuff.

Hopefully post-covid we get more touring megafestivals. Damn I miss Ozzfest.
