Listen to Any Dragonforce song, then listen to The Drapery Falls by Opeth or Advanced Corpse Tumor by Necrophagist.
You'll be saying "Dragon-who?" in no time.
Yea, but opeth is a progressive metal bands with death metal vocals and heavy parts thrown in, and necrophagist are a death metal band. Neither can be comparable because they're in completely different genres. Great bands, tho.
But, if people want a better power metal alternative, check out grave digger, if you're willing to ignore the annoying vocals, and also, blind guardian. Both are way more talented and better examples of power metal than dragonforce. Hell, i'll even recommend iced earth, tho i'm not a huge fan of them.
