	Brainstorm
		When it comes to making power metal, Brainstorm is one of those rare acts that avoids the whole giddy Helloween cliché and forges their own distinctive style.
		The first thing that struck me was just how heavy this band is and how they manage to work some progressive elements into their sound without losing any power.
		Brainstorm has a lot of melody in its music, but you guys also seem to make a point of keeping things a lot heavier than many power metal bands out there at the moment.
