'''Battle metal''' was, until recently, another term for [[Epic metal]], but b. Bands such as [[Hammerfall]] and [[Rhapsody]], however, have added to its meaning. Battle metal is a fusion of [[Melodic death metal]] and [[Power Metal]]. The guitar parts are reminiscent of [[Iron Maiden (band)|Iron Maiden]]'s harmonising, rythmically complex duets, which took on a new meaning with bands like [[Carcass]], [[In Flames]], [[Arch Enemy]], [[At The Gates]], and [[Dark Tranquility]]; while t. The vocals and song arrangements, on the other hand, are more akin to [[Stratovarius]] and [[Sonata Arctica]].
