I've decided. Recently got into this genre quite a bit- starting with Helloween- one of the first of this genre i believe [not to mention very seasonal right now lol]. Although this band is from Germany most of the bands im finding are Finnish bands like Stratovarius and Sonata Artica
Edguy,Hammerfall,Iced Earth, Blind guardian, Wintersun, and Warmen have great instrumental works.

Discuss thoughts on this genre? Recommend on any other bands relevant to this or completely laugh at my music taste if you wish

Iced Earth is the shit.

ayes
i like them
sonata arctica and stratovarius i like better
they seem more melodic
