![]() All of this screams of Power Metal (not to mention that most Power Metal musicians cite Maiden as a huge influence). But it is no secret that Iron Maiden was probably the biggest influence on how Power Metal was to sound, the melodic riffs, the galloping rhythym, Bruce's soaring vocals. maiden isn't often considered to be power metal since they technically fall under the New Wave of British Heavy Metal subgenre (which has very little to do with actual sound considering everything from Def Leppard to Motorhead to Iron Maiden fit into that description). I will begin the thread with the forefathers of power metal Iron Maiden. If you are unsure of what power metal is there's a wikipedia page: I find myself recommending power metal to anyone new to metal because it's a very accessible style and varied enough to point people into other sub-genres they may enjoy. The soaring vocals, the upbeat sing-along choruses, the classically-influenced melodies and rhythyms, the technical musicianship. This thread was looking for something similar in terms of vocals, so there are quite a few recommendations in there. Along with the vocal volume, vocals should be recognizable over comforta… usually wider range of ups and downs), like some variety of madmanĮnunciation should be clear. An understandable yet throaty voice (sometimes higher than usual, but never too high or low. vocals should be louder than the instrumentals! that being when too much is being played at a high speed (especially at a close pitch and volume) that is all mushes together. In addition to other points, audio should not be 'muddy'. pauses in instrumentals should be used if needed Song-writing should be done by someone in/for the band and take into account what pitch the singer is using for that song. Instrumentals should have original style/rhythm it gets too repetitive, and faster ones (speed metal-esque) put me on edge. No cookie-monster metal, growling, plain yelling, or screeching Other recommendations I've heard (and didn't like, for obvious reasons stated below): Gojira, Tool, Opeth, In This Moment, Dream Theater, Nevermore, SEX MACHINEGUNS, 3 Inches of Blood, Mercyful Fate, Ghost, King Diamond, Watain,Hammerfall, Manowar, Tyrīefore replying, a basic TL DR and guidelines for suggestions:ĭon't make suggestions if you don't understand what I'm looking for and what my problem is! ![]() Some of them have newer stuff that I like (such as videos below) but their older stuff is muddy or with unintelligible vocals. Yes I HAVE listened to many of the major bands (Iron Maiden, Slayer, Motorhead, Kreator, Anthrax, Testament, Exodus, Overkill, Saxon, Sabaton, Nightwish, Panzer, Pantera, Rammstein). Power metal likely not because of vocals. Ultra TL DR: Not looking for black/death/speed/sludge/goth/doom/stoner/glam/progressive metal or *core. Ok, so I want to like heavy (thrash-like) metal, but after I started getting into it I realized that I don't actually like 99% of the metal out there.
