holy shit accurate
Have a list of great songs for each category? I know a little, but not a lot.
I can't speak to a lot of these subgenres but power metal? Hehehe.
Dragonforce - Through Fire and Flames. Not just a meme, actually a great song and very technical.
Powerwolf - Blessed & Possessed. Werewolves that work for the Catholic Church? I have no idea how that's supposed to work but I'd read the book.
Sabaton - To Hell and Back. Sabaton writes a lot of songs about historical battles.
Powermetal has rather a lot of narrative ballads in it.
Oh, I've got a good folk metal band too:
Eluveitie - The Call of the Mountain. I love all the different instruments they use.
Alestorm - Drink. How the hell did I forget Alestorm? Who wants pirate metal?
Bloodywood - Dana Dan. Indian folk metal rap/rock ... with a lot of English? I don't know what's going on here but it's such a unique blend.
Someone mentioned Nightwish and here's my favorite song of theirs:
Nightwish - Nemo
If you like power metal try visigoth (I think their drummer does an amazing job at controlling the dynamics and pace of their songs) and Fellowship (I've never heard any other band come nearly as close at something uplifting and motivating); I really like Glint from fellowship as an example of that! It's the "response" to the "call" from Oak and Ash earlier in the album
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Glint
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Plus, if you're into power metal, you probably also enjoy TTRPG's, and Visigoth designed a whole campaign/setting based around one of their albums with one of my favorite 3rd party content creators (The Revenant King)
