power metal

Definition

A subgenre of metal music that represents the opposite of black metal's grim aesthetic—think knights instead of trolls, heroic melodies instead of corpse paint, and unironic fantasy themes. It's metal for people who want to feel like heroes rather than harbingers of doom.

Example Usage

Black metal fans are all about the darkness, but power metal fans are out here cosplaying as medieval warriors.
