Katrineholm, SE · 2021–present · active
Anette Olzon is the Swedish vocalist best known for fronting Nightwish from 2007-2012, now pursuing solo symphonic and power metal from Katrineholm in Södermanland. Her powerful voice and dramatic flair continue to shape her personal musical vision beyond her tenure with the Finnish symphonic metal giants.
Kyiv, UA · 2001–present · active
Angel 7 merges melodic death, power, and thrash metal from Kyiv since 2001. Over a quarter century of multi-genre compositions from the Ukrainian capital, they have sustained an ambitious triple-threat approach.
DE · 1984–present · active
Angel Dust is a German heavy metal band formed in Dortmund in 1984, releasing their debut Into the Dark Past in 1986 during the height of the German speed and thrash metal movement. After disbanding in 1990, the band reformed in 1998 with a new vocalist and a significantly more melodic power metal orientation, signing to Century Media Records and releasing acclaimed albums including Border of Reality (1998), Bleed (1999), and Enlighten the Darkness (2000). They are one of the more notable examples of a German thrash act successfully reinventing themselves as a power metal band.
Altusried, DE · 2022–present · active
Angel of Silence delivers heavy and power metal from Altusried in the Allgäu region of Bavaria since 2022. Their paradoxical name — a celestial being defined by the absence of sound — belies the volume of their Alpine-born metal.
Yekaterinburg, RU · 2009–present · active
Angelize Project explores progressive and power metal from Yekaterinburg since 2009. Over fifteen years from the Ural capital, they have developed compositions that blend power metal's heroism with progressive metal's structural ambitions.
Athens, GR · 2017–present · active
Athens' AngelMora deliver power metal with traditional heavy metal backbone, crafting anthemic songs built on soaring melodies and commanding vocals. Since 2017, they've carried the torch for melodic, uplifting metal in the Greek capital.
Zaragoza, ES · 2007–present · active
Angélida blends symphonic, gothic, and power metal from Zaragoza with female-fronted vocals and intricate guitar solos woven through every track. Across three albums including "Decanimae," "La Ciudad de los Pájaros," and "La Liga Onírica," they've built a lush, genre-spanning sound rooted in Aragonese creativity.
Gradisca d'Isonzo, IT · 2014–present · active
Animal House plays power metal from the Gorizia area in Friuli-Venezia Giulia since 2014, their irreverent name contrasting with the disciplined melodicism power metal demands. From Italy's Slovenian borderland, they forge anthemic metal with northeastern vigor.
Madrid, ES · 1996–present · active
One of Spain's premier power metal acts, Ankhara emerged from Madrid in 1996 and built a devoted following through albums like "Dueño del Tiempo" and "Sombras del Pasado" on Locomotive Music. After reforming in 2013 following a nine-year hiatus, they returned with "Sinergia" and their latest "Premonición" on Art Gates Records, proving their staying power across three decades.
