Toilet Radio 575 – Power Metal

Gather, yon podcast mates, and journey hither toward graven genre battle. This week we’re breaking down power metal: what IS it, exactly? When did it evolve from heavy metal into a separate sound? What are the attributes that distinguish power metal from other subgenres? And, most importantly, why is Joe so hostile to power metal? All of this and more answered on this week’s show. Bands featured here include Blind Guardian, Dream Evil, Cloven Hoof, Falconer, Paladin, and Hammerfall. Folks… it’s a good one.
