Dominus Praelii is a heavy/power metal band from Londrina, Paraná, Brazil, founded in 1999 (with releases beginning around 2002) by Silvio Rocha and Rafael Guilhen. Their name is Latin for "Lord of the Battle," reflecting lyrical themes of ancient warfare and mythology, and their sound draws from 80s influences such as Running Wild, Manowar, and Grave Digger; their discography includes albums "Holding the Flag of War" (2002), "Bastards and Killers" (2006), and "Keep the Resistance" (2010/2018).
Denver's Doom Blade formed in 2019 at the collision of power metal's soaring melodicism and thrash's neck-snapping aggression, a combination that gives their music an operatic ferocity. Colorado's high-altitude metal scene has long punched above its weight, and Doom Blade's hybrid approach adds a distinct flair to that tradition. They sit in the lineage of bands who believed epic storytelling and bruising riffs were never mutually exclusive.
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. Named for Oscar Wilde's portrait-cursed aesthete, the band leans into the theatrical and the grandiose that power metal requires, delivering the kind of anthemic hooks that made the European power scene a global phenomenon but filtered through a New England sensibility. They've been a steady presence in a region not always known for embracing the genre's more operatic tendencies.
Draa is a power metal band from the Getxo/Leioa area of the Basque Country, Spain, formed in 2015. They deliver epic power metal from the Basque coast.
Drac Attack! is a progressive/power metal band from Berlin, Germany, formed in 2021. They bring high-energy power metal with progressive flair and a vampiric edge.
Drace XII is a symphonic power metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, blending power and progressive metal with orchestral arrangements and influences from Visual Kei. The band released their debut album "Supreme Legacy" in 2016, produced by Edu Falaschi (ex-Angra), followed by "The 12th Ceremony" in 2018.
