here... Power Metal: Evolving from Heavy Metal, Power Metal took that sound and made it faster and more powerful (hence the name), while still retaining the melody both in guitars and vocals. There are two "schools" of Power Metal, the American one, which puts more emphasis on riffing and a relatively "dry" vocal style, without big choirs or bombastic choruses, as well as the European school, which is more epic and bombastic in its approach, often with big choirs and a lot of orchestration. Often Power Metal uses Fantasy lyrics or lyrics about battles and mighty warriors.
Examples: (Europe) HELLOWEEN, STRATOVARIUS, GAMMA RAY, (USA) HELSTAR, ICED EARTH, MANOWAR. (Alex Melzer)
