Power Metal is Heavy Metal taken to the absolute, surgically precise, limit. When the major Metal institutions staked their claim they engendered a whole legion of followers in their wake. These up and coming acts were not simply content to match the volume levels of their forefathers though. Riffs evolved into complex, labyrinthine proportions, vocals scorched higher altitudes and, yes, they even managed to crank out some more volume as part of the formula. Power Metal had been borne.

Power metal is a subgenre of heavy metal combining characteristics of traditional heavy metal with speed metal, often within symphonic context. Generally, power metal is characterized by a faster, lighter, and more uplifting sound, in contrast with the heaviness and dissonance prevalent for example in extreme metal. Power metal bands usually have anthem-like songs with fantasy-based subject matter and strong choruses, thus creating a theatrical, dramatic and emotionally "powerful" sound

Start by marking The Rockdetector A to Z of Black Metal (Rockdetector) as Want to Read: Want to Read savin. ant to Read. Like the other books of this collection the book is quite outdated but it's fun to see how Black Metal was perceived back in the day, and it also includes bands with just a faint relation to the genre, while excluding important bands such as VON or Sarcofago. My only real complaint is that it seems that the author had a very loose interpretation of what Black Metal is, so in being thorough and covering a lot of ground it loses its focus.
