Power metal is a fast-paced, symphonic metal genre characterized by soaring vocal melodies, galloping rhythms, and intricate guitar work. Emerging in the late 1980s in Europe, power metal drew inspiration from classical music, folk, and traditional heavy metal. Gaining momentum in the 1990s and 2000s, the genre became synonymous with grandiose, heroic storytelling and mythological themes. Notable for its use of high-pitched, operatic vocals and sweeping keyboard arrangements, power metal often incorporates elements of folk and symphonic metal, distinguishing it from other styles like thrash and death metal. With its epic, cinematic soundscapes and catchy, sing-along choruses, power metal has captivated a global audience, appealing to fans of classical music, fantasy literature, and heavy metal alike.
