In Flames
This is the most amazing band i have ever listened to. I'm only speaking for their latest albums Reroute To Remain and Come Clarity because they are all i have. In Flames are incredibly consistent in terms of awesome songs. Every single track on both of these albums has an awesome chorus which could get the mountains moving. Theres a balanced mix of singing and screaming and same with the higher pitch guitars and the full-on heavy metal guitars. They are a mix of the Power Metal, and Melodic Metal genres.
Some Top Tracks:
Free Fall
Black and White
Cloud Connected
Crawl Through Knives
Come Clarity
Reflect The Storm
Leeches
Vacuum
Vanishing Light
Your Bedtime Story Is Scaring Everyone
Trigger
Transperant
System
Dark signs
(sorry about all the tracks. That's what i was saying about them being so consistent. I would of liked to add more to that list, and that's just from two albums.)
Children Of Bodom
If i was asked the definition of Power Metal, i would hit the play button and get some of these crazy scandinavian cunts cranking. They're in your face, they're brutal, they have the craziest high-pitched guitar and keyboard solo's known to man, they're awesome. Their name comes from a group of kids who were brutally killed at Lake Bodom in Finland, which is one of the greatest murder mysterys ever.
Some killer tracks:
Mask Of Sanity
Silent Night, Bodom Night
Black Widow
Children Of Decadence
The Final Countdown (cover of an old song)
Oops I Did It Again (cover of Britney Spears Song
)
The Trooper
@ DrowntheCrow: If you haven't heard either of these, you should definetely like them to. As I Lay Dying are awesome
(havent heard the other band).
