Power Metal

Power metal is a subgenre of heavy metal music that combines traditional metal music with a more melodic, uplifting sound. It was developed in the 1980s and early 1990s in Europe, with bands such as Helloween, Gamma Ray, and Blind Guardian. Power metal typically features fast tempos, sweeping guitar solos, prominent keyboard parts, and strong vocal melodies. Lyrics often focus on themes of heroism, fantasy, and mythology.
