Quest Metal

A somewhat slang term to describe a genre of heavy metal. Quest Metal generally refers to power metal, especially bands who have a very large amount of fantasy-inspired lyrics, or focus on concept albums.
Quest Metal is actually just power metal, but examples of both include Blind Guardian, Rhapsody of Fire, HammerFall, DragonForce, and to a somewhat lesser extent, Helloween.

Quest Metal

An overarching term representing the majority of bands in the following genres : Power Metal, Battle Metal, Folk Metal, Symphonic Metal

A few typical bands would include, Dragonforce, Firewind, Turisas, Nightwish, Blind Guardian, Kamelot, Within Temptation etc. etc.

You could include bands like Amon Amarth, however the growling vocals & lack of keyboards sets these types of bands slightly apart.
