Russian Power Metal

Russian power metal is a subgenre of heavy metal that emerged in Russia in the 1990s. It is characterized by its fast, aggressive sound, often featuring complex guitar solos, thundering drums, and soaring, operatic vocals. The lyrics tend to be epic and fantastical, drawing on themes of mythology, history, and fantasy. The music is often highly technical and virtuosic, with a strong emphasis on musicianship and technical proficiency.
