A phrase said by many death metal fans because power metal is not "brutal" enough and actually care about having a melody, they also dislike the high vocals too.
Brutal death metaller: "omfg power metal sucks! Too many well played guitar solos for me! RRAAARG GRRRAWRG! BLAARRG!
Power metaller: " Yeah, they don't clash all the instruments together because they want a MELODY.
Brutal death metaller: "what's a melody?!"
Power metaller: /facepalm ¬_¬;

extreme power metal is a form music spawned from the power metal genre. The key ideal behind it is the music is played at very high speeds and to make sound well has to be done with skill. extreme power metal bands often use keybords or keytars and the vocals are almost operatic, there is usually many solos within the songs which tend to be long songs. the concept of the style is to make the listner feel powerfull and the songs are uplifting
the original extreme power metal band is "dragonforce" who have started to pick up credit for there music after there signing with "roadrunner records" and there 3rd album "inhuman rampage" and there music video for the song "through the fire and the flames" which shows the band simply playing the song. there early albums "valley of the damned" and "sonic firestorm " the songs often include lyrics about epic battles with riding across battle feilds. the band also includes a 3rd of the worlds slammers (a style of playing the guitar) and herman lei won the best shredder metal hammer award

A combination of power metal and extreme metal, defined by high tempo songs, technically challenging and melodic riffs/solos, mid-range growled vocals, and an overall darker sound. Bands are often labeled Melodic Death Metal, even though they have as much in common with death metal as they do Glam. Quite popular in the Finnish metal scene.
Children of Bodom, Norther, Wintersun, and Kalmah are the prime examples of Extreme power metal. Dragonforce is not, though they think that they invented the term.

also known as E.P.M, is a style brought about when melodic metal fuses with extreme metal(speed and power metal fused). the first origin of epic power metal came from the band "Dragonforce", when experts didnt have a way to describe their combonation of ambiant breakdowns, break-neck solos, heavy gallops, melodic singing, and seemingly undefinable lyrics. most epic power metal songs include a great amount of speed, organization, wide octive vocals, twin guitar solos, heavy bridges, and usually from 6 to 10 mins long. and are meant to give one the sense of epicness or disbelief.

The name for the uprising of one of the greatest genres of all time. The genre itself gives a story of great triumph and overcoming hardships with your might.
PowerWolf and Hammerfall are really bringing back the strength of power metal. The Power Metal Revival Movement has begun!
