I'm sorry to tell you this, but you're wrong. Helloween played power metal already in 1982 and they invented the genre. Also, Fates Warning has never played power metal even for one second. USPM has nothing to do with the genre 'power metal'. USPM is a sub-genre of heavy metal. Please don't call me 'a poser' when you clearly know nothing about metal.

You are as wrong as anyone can be. I don't even understand why I'm wasting my time replying to someone as ignorant as you. When did I say that Fates Warning are not technical? Technical doesn't equal power metal. All Helloween's albums - including Walls of Jericho - are power metal albums. Helloween was the very first band in the whole world to play power metal, since they invented the genre. Of course Walls of Jericho is rougher and more thrash metal/speed metal influenced than Keeper albums, but it's still power metal. Fates Warning has nothing to do with power metal, because US power metal is not power metal at all. It's a sub-genre of heavy metal. I don't understand why I have to repeat myself. Please don't reply to me anymore. I don't need anyone lecturing me about the genre I know better than anyone else on this planet.

Have you heard House of Atreus? I'd suggest them as I saw in your 2015 list you liked Arghoslent.

yeah fair enough, I listened a handful of times and it was pretty forgettable.

same all time favorite here

Glad to see you like Bewitcher. I have been listening to him for a couple of EP's now. See what you think of this one man band like Bewitcher. Not as polished, but I like this, too, and a free download is available. =)

That's fine. I won't send any more new music your way, even it is 80's sounding. FYI, I will be on with Bill Peters in late spring/early summer. I donated some money to their telethon for air time. I was on 2 years ago with him. https://www.facebook.com/wjcumetal/
