Is there any cool power metal that doesn't have the typical flamboyant vocals? I love the energy, but the singing is just so unappealing.

I don't think you can like power metal without the high vocals
Rec me some good power metal that isn't based on tolkien garbage.
>>71543224
gamma ray was my favourite band when i was 15-ish

Yeah, listened to plenty of Gamma Ray. Somewhere Out in Space is my favourite power metal album and one of my favourite albums in general.

Thank you! I'll be checking these all out, but from what I heard they were all pretty good.
>>71543396
