While I'm a huge, huge fan of the power metal genre. I will agree, a great deal of it does sound very similar. That being said, it still rules Europe. Also, there is a distinct difference between the way American power metal (Metal Church, Flotsam and Jetsam, Manowar, Helstar, etc...) and Euro power metal (Helloween, Hammerfall, Nocturnal Rites, Primal Fear, etc...) sounds. Personally, I prefer a power metal/progressive metal/technical metal mix, i.e. Nevermore, Blind Guardian, Morgana Lefay (Lefay), Annihilator, etc...nuff said.
Also, metaljazz37...Did you or your band ever create a website? So I can look you up/listen to your material...
