Boston's Dorian Gray has been flying the flag for American power metal since 2011, bringing the city's deep rock tradition to a genre that demands soaring vocals, galloping rhythms, and melodies that stick.

They've been a steady presence in a region not always known for embracing the genre's more operatic tendencies.
