It would probably make the analysis a bit difficult, but it would be interesting to see it incorporate more international bands.

Some bands are still going strong, although my favorite band Mago de Oz feels like it definitely peaked between 2000 and 2010 with the release of the Gaia albums. I'm not sure that I'd call all their albums power metal, but some of their newer stuff is definitely more power metal-y.

If anyone is looking for a great Spanish metal album, I'd recommend checking out Gaia II: La voz dormida. It tells a really ambitious story with amazing music to back it. And it ends with an epic 21 minute song that I don't even know how to describe.

Mago is Folk Metal. Also, before Gaia there was Finisterra which was everywhere.

"2000 and 2010 with the release of the Gaia albums"

That is when I was listening to them and did not follow on them later on. Did they produce anything interesting after that? Even just a single good song?

I don't think Mägo de Oz was power metal, but their early 2000s material definitely had some influences, since power metal was such an important current in European metal at the time.
