Amon Amarth (Melodic Death Metal)
Apocalyptica (Power Metal with Cellos)
Blind Guardian (Pre-Nightfall = Speed-Metal: Post-Nightfall = Power Metal)
Dark Tranquility (More of a melodic death, but it's power-metal to my ears)
Demons and Wizards (ehhh... I always saw them as Power, but PG6 says they're speed)
Dream Evil (A little of everything, to be honest)
Dream Theater ("progressive" metal, which generally means power metal with more synthesizers, in my opinion)
Edguy (Deffinetely power, but they get pretty fast as well)
Eluveitie (Celtic Folk-metal. Very heavy stuff, but awesome as well)
Elvenking (Folk-power-metal. Violins and flutes and stuff)
Ensiferum (Considered Viking Metal by most)
Epica (More of a symphonic power-metal, like Nightwish without the soprano vocals)
Evergrey (Not entirely sure myself. Less melody then power metal, but not quite fast enough to be speed)
Falconer (Power metal)
Gravity Kills (Not really metal, but you should like it anyway)
Hammerfall (power metal)
Helloween (Ehhh... once again, I have a hard time telling the difference. Power/speed)
Iced Earth (Speed, with dark melodies occasionally)
Kamelot (Best power metal ever. Screw all who disagree)
Korplikaani (More Viking-Metal, I think. Maybe it's folk... gah)
Liquid Tension Experiment (Basically Dream theater but all instrumentals)
Opeth (I know of little of these guys, but their mostly melodic death, I think)
Shadows Fall (Kinda metalcore, but still awesome)
Sonata Arctica (Power Metal)
Stratovarius (Pretty much power metal)
Turisas (Viking Metal)
Wintersun (I think Viking as well)


All listed alphabetically. Have fun.

EDIT: If you still dislike it PG6, go ahead and change as you see fit. You probably have more experience than I, anyway.

Avenged Sevenfold (i love the new stuff)

In Flames sounds really good but when he starts singing a change the song.

A lot of those bands are not speed metal.
In fact, almost none of those bands could be labelled "Speed metal" save for Helloween, Iced Earth, Demons & Wizards and Sonata Arctica.

i dont regret creating this tread at all, i've found atleast 10 or more new band that i like. havent listened to all yet.

Marineking

Well, he said both "heavy metal" and "speed metal." Some of the bands he listed were clearly not speed metal, as well. So I figured it was more of a vague "Kinda like this..." statement than an "exact specifications" request.

Besides, few but the most hard-core can even tell the different between speed metal and power metal (To be honest, the only difference I see is that power metal tends to have more of a melody to it).

Here, I'll go through and give them general labels, just in case he cares.

EDIT: And wait, Blind Guardian was pretty speed-metalish in their early years, too (Pre-Nightfall on Middle-Earth).

i got cloud connected on limewire... huh... it sounds good... must have been another song i hated.

EDIT: it was free fall i don't like the singing in. i like all of the guitar in the beggining but when he opens his month... then he speaks of fail.

EDIT2:

Was A7X one of the ones you like? listen to trashed and scattered, critical aclaim, gunslinger (if you like acoustic, slow in the first half of the song), afterlife...

^^thats some of the new stuff^^
