→S: Added symphony X, their band page may get edited because people debate whether they are power metal, but they have described themselves as power metal, so they should be on the list.

This is a list of power metal bands including bands that have at some point in their careers played power metal. Power metal is a subgenre of heavy metal music combining characteristics of traditional metal with speed metal, often within symphonic context. Generally, power metal is characterized by a more uplifting sound, in contrast to the heaviness and dissonance prevalent in styles such as doom metal and death metal. Power metal bands usually have anthem-like songs with fantasy-based subject matter and strong choruses, thus creating a theatrical, dramatic and emotionally "powerful" sound.
