Most power metal I listen to these days is old power metal. Recently listened to a bit of old Hammerfall again. Pretty fun in small doses. Sometimes you just need some uncomplicated cheesiness.


So I had to explain the concept of a face-melting riff to a co-worker yesterday. Eventually, and sort of out of reflex, I pointed him to Iced Earth's Wolf, from Horror Show, and the solo from Dream Theater's In the Name of God, from Train of Thought (those were the ones I could remember, offhand). Any others I could have gone with? For future reference, of course, and totally not for my own enjoyment

Also, how do you adequately describe facemeltery?
