Big fan of power metal I hear.
And KnightDriver, The Sword is from Austin, TX and they are AWESOME. Had no plans to stay and watch them live at Ozzfest '08 in Dallas, but they were SO good. I think my favorite of theirs is How Heavy this Axe.
I love me some power metal, so I enjoyed much of this list, Michael! Particularly Battle Beast and Mastodon (I know I just praised them, but Iron Swan isn't my favorite from The Sword; prefer their slower, heavy-hitting groove stuff to their thrashier joints).
