Yeah that would be great, I’m liking power metal a lot now.

Personal taste and all that aside, some bands I enjoy.


Hammerfall
Stratovarius
Helloween
Powerwolf
Blind Guardian/Demons & Wizards
Majestica
Rhaspody of Fire
Unleash the Archers





You also have Sabaton, Dragonforce, Manowar, Nightwish(maybe Power Metal) and others.

If anyone can suggest more singers like him would be greatly appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There's quite a few bands I've found in my quest to find some Metallica-esque metal over the last couple years.

There aren't many of those quite exactly, but there are a lot of Maiden-y, Dio-y style "new wave of British heavy metal" style.

Try Jorn and Lords of Black. There's a few others but their names popped up in my mind first.

There was only one Ronnie James Dio....however give Iron Maiden a spin.

Start with these albums:

Number of the Beast
Piece of Mind
Powerslave
Somewhere In Time
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son

You won’t be sorry.
