The Boreal Summer brings a bunch of cool new albums, maybe even an AOTY contender, and some awesome updates from Mad With Power Fest and Epic Fest for 2027.

Kyle made his yearly pilgrimage to Mad With Power 2026, while Fer watched the live stream from the other side of the equator, come (re)live the wonderful bands and immaculate vibes with us! ⚔️ Stay Powerful! ⚔️

We listened to a bunch of albums and went to a few shows and we are talking about it want it or not ⚔️ Stay Powerful! ⚔️

While Kyle is away, we got together with the wonderful Adrienne Cowan from Seven Spires to chat about Power Metal, South American shows, the Berklee experience, and achieving a dream gig: getting to work with Roy Khan. Stay Powerful ⚔️

Somehow, we attended Epic Fest for a third time. Against all odds and common sense we descended upon the now familiar Roskilde in Denmark for a weekend of pure power metal fun with some incredible bands and the best people we can think of. Lets talk about it!

Sonata is back, Hagane has a new single, Lovebites delivers a new album, and Fer joins Kyle in the "Galneryus live more than once" club. Also Greyhawk, Induction, and other non power metal live shows and movies because we like those too.

Epic Fest 2026 is around the corner, so we got together with co-founder Lauge Kjærum once again for a chat on what's coming, what we liked last year, and an exclusive look at a to be anounced event!

The Powerful crew celebrate the new year by looking back at some of their favorite power metal albums of 2025. With long awaited returns and fresh surprises, you're bound to find something you love. The lads also get wild and discuss some favorite movies, TV shows, and video games to wrap things up.

Exciting Power Metal News with Lovebites announcing a new album, Galneryus playing outside of Asia, Rhapsody doing super special shows, Fabio leaving Angra, Angra doing a reunion show with Edu and Aquiles, crazy month really. Also Fer released an album, go check it out! And we review other albums we listened to lately, and a bunch of live shows we attended, get comfy because this is a long one.

Kyle went again to good old ProgPower in Atlanta, GA, in a year of uncertainty but filled with hope for all the prog and power great times were had with the longstanding PP Crowd that gets together every year to live and brethe the music they love.
