Isn't Iced Earth the biggest american power metal band? Well I love em but I need some more american power metal bands! The problem is they all sound like each other :( Jag Panzer sound like another Iced Earth D: The same is for Euro power metal! They all are like Stratovarius! Can anyone name any original underground power metal? I already listen the most original power metal bands like Iced Earth, Blind Guardian, Edguy, Hammerfall, Edguy, Avantasia, Sabaton, Sonata Arctica and Statovarius.
