Power Metal - Galneryus from Japan
I’m a huge fan of Heavy Metal and Power Metal. What makes Power Metal so attractive is the Keyboard addition to metal that gives more space for the lead guitar to show off. Plus the keys give a very classical feeling to it. Also instead of shouting your throat off like in Heavy Metal, Power Metal tends to shout like sopranos, very high pitch and understandable.
Galneryus was formed in early 2001 by guitarist Syu. They still rock hard until today. Most of their early songs are In english but since Everlasting, the wrote some japanese songs as well. Everlasting shows a marvellous guitar riff. Their latest song, Alsatia is a very good japanese song with stunning guitar play by syu. Well Alsatia is the very reason I get to know them. Other good Power Metal examples: Powerquest, Dionysus, Edguy and many more.
Current Lineup:

Syu - Lead/Rhythm Guitars/Backing Vocals
