I loved Rocket Ride. And the recent Avantasia album is good as well. Yeah, I'd say Sammet is the best power metal singer going today.

Only really familiar with Helloween's Keeper duology, but the japanese band Marge Litch sounds like power metal to me, quite good...

I wouldn't have thought that would fall under Power Metal but I have a lot to learn.
The band is Ad Infinitum, in case that link dies.

I'm not an expert either but they describe themselves as a 'symphonic power metal' band.

Really want to dig into more of this when I'm reunited with my CD player. Adored that Marge Litch album (talked about it more in the prog v3.0 thread). Quite eager to hear Fate's Warning and Crimson Glory.

Never actually heard this album but I adore this song. Heard about them in a prog magazinehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uozt4N72a5U

I liked Crimson Glory debut okay. Might get the second album someday.

How much reach does power metal have worldwide? In terms of both bands and audience.
