Woman with remarkable ability to sound like cat being dragged backwards through a paper shredder and experiencing typical white girl's 'white guilt' fetish, climbs on cross to atone for Country Music's sins towards the queers. Country music fans still have no idea who she is. (archive.ph)

Never heard of either. I looked up some of their stuff just to get an idea, and I definitely wouldnt say no to either (although Visigoth seemed more my style out of the two).

To give you an idea of my taste, below are my top 5. Of course, ignoring the obligatory Sabaton and Powerwolf that damn near every Power Metal fan has on their favorites list (with Sabaton being my actual favorite because I am a history nerd):

  1. Smash Into Pieces

  2. Eclipse

  3. Brothers of Metal

  4. Evergrey

  5. Beast in Black

Interesting, I'll have to give some of these a try, I'm only aware of Beast in Black on that list. I used to frequent the power metal board on Reddit but I tend more towards American power metal (as in Manowar, Manilla Road, and Medieval Steel).

You're right also that's it's difficult to locate good country with the sound and spirit of traditional or neo traditional.

I dont find as much American metal as I would hope for. A lot of the stuff I find just dredging the depths is almost always Scandinavian.

Although in an ironic, I did have a funny moment regarding two bands I like.

Smash Into Pieces, the first time I ever heard them, I thought was American, with a guess of Seattle or Portland. When I saw one of their music videos where the opening prominently showed off the Golden Gate Bridge, I assumed I was right. Then I finally got around to actually looking them up...and it turns out they were Swedish. And their lead singer even has a fairly thick accent when he is not singing, so that was kind of funny. Of course, this fact I thought made the music video and lyrics for their song Heathens that much funnier. ("Show'em how we do it Down South." You arent from the South?)

Meanwhile, the other band is Starset. When I first heard them, I thought they were British, because while their singer didnt really have an obvious accent, he sounded similar to a lot of other British power metal bands I had heard like Gloryhammer. And I get around to looking up where they were from, it turns out they were from Columbus, Ohio.

You might like Ironflame, they're American power metal with some Euro tendencies (amusingly also an Ohio band). You've probably heard of Eternal Champion but they're pretty damn good (and last time I checked avowedly apolitical). Also Atlantean Kodex is an amazing band.

The lead vocalist for Grand Magus threw me for a similar loop initially. Thought he was American until I looked them up and found out they were (of course) Swedish.

Edit: The Brothers of Metal and Eclipse tracks are great, thanks! You might try Seekers of the Blade or Blood Red Cross for Ironflame and Lion of Chaldea or Sol Invictus for Antlantean Kodex.

Definitely like what I have heard thus far of Ironflame! And thank you for the other options as well.
