Power Metal Ballads

Michaela · October 27th, 2005, 12:19 PM

Which one are your favorites? Which one can you recommend?

For me:

1) Jag Panzer - Take this pain away
2) Stratovarious - Forever
3) Sonata Arctica - The Misery
4) Edguy - Scarlet Rose
5) Gamma Ray - Lake of tears

I need ballads from time to time

Katana Overlord · October 27th, 2005, 01:53 PM

Forever is an amazing ballad.
If you consider Manowar power metal Master Of The Wind is one of my favourites.

1 - Fading Hours (Rage)
2 - Melancholy (Iced Earth)
3 - Remember Yesterday (Hammerfall)
4 - Spread Your Wings (Silent Force)
5 - Dust (Rage)

Harry(not the Tyrant) · October 28th, 2005, 01:08 PM

Hey Mr.Blackwell,where is "Beth"??

Katana Overlord · October 28th, 2005, 01:16 PM

I never though of Crucifix as a ballad, more epic.

power metal is just power metal , lol

Power metal is a style of heavy metal music pioneered and largely practiced in Germany and Scandinavia.

The first power metal song is arguably the 1976 song "Stargazer" by the band Rainbow.

Power metal was developed in the mid-1980s primarily by the German band Helloween, who were influenced by bands such as Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. Power metal borrows from 1970s metal styles, but adds important elements of speed and melody. Whereas most genres of rock focus largely on personal experience, historical incidents, social commentary, or other aspects of "real life", power metal often treats cosmological or metaphysical themes. As such, lyrics draw heavily from science-fiction, mythology, and fantasy; Tolkien-esque imagery is especially common in the latter.

Power metal vocals are generally clean (as opposed to the growling vocals that characterize Death Metal) and delivered by a trained vocalist; singing power metal involves more than a few high notes. Often power metal vocals have multi-layer vocals similar to Queen. Typical power metal bands consist of a vocalist, two guitarists, a bassist, and a drummer. Many bands also play with a keyboardist and a few, such as the Italian band Rhapsody, have been known to record with more symphonic elements.

This style is most popular in Europe, Japan, some countries of South America and has a growing popularity in certain parts of North America.

Stratovarius' "Forever" and Savatage's "Believe" are both AMAZING ballads! Actually, Savatage have quite a few great ballads; Summer's Rain, If I Go Away, All That I Bleed, When The Crowds Are Gone, Sleep, Somewhere In Time, St. Patrick's, etc...

One of the all time great power ballads is Fates Warning's "Guardian". Queensryche's The Lady Wore Black is right up there too. (I would describe their first EP as early power metal before they got more progressive).

Also partial to Armored Saint's "Aftermath" and "Isolation", Helloween's "A Tale That Wasn't Right", Angra's "No Place For The Dead", just to name a few...

Aias · October 29th, 2005, 11:46 AM

Metallica "Fade To Black" (The be all end all of ballads!)
Dokken "Alone Again"
Twisted Sister "The Price"
Judas Priest/Agent Steel/Blind Guardian "Beyond The Realms Of Death"
S.O.D. "The Ballad Of Jimi Hendrix"

LOL!!!
I never considered KISS a power metal band, but there's plenty of room in your top 5 list, Harry

Harry(not the Tyrant) · October 29th, 2005, 02:32 PM

Hm,Dokken and Twisted Sister are for sure also no "Power Metal Bands"..
Metal ballads would have been a better title for the topic.
OK,here are my top five...

Metallica-The Unforgiven
Nevermore-The Heart Collector
Nevermore-Sell my Heart for Stones
Jag Panzer-Sonet of Sorrow
Skyclad-Constance Eternal

A few more :

Judas Priest - Dreamer Deceiver
Nevermore - The Sorrowed Man
Virgin Steele - Child of Desolution
Grave Digger - The Ballad of Mary
Savatage - Alone You Breathe
Primal Fear - Tears of Rage
Queensrÿche - I Will Remember

I'm not very fond of 'happy' metal ballads though, a few exceptions aside ("The Silence" by Gamma Ray...).

Katana Overlord · October 30th, 2005, 10:51 PM

Hammerfall - Glory To The Brave
