Often called the Spanish Iron Maiden, which I don't agree with because I love these guys and Iron Maiden not so much. I guess they are really Folk Metal, but the metal portion is most like power metal I suppose. The band has like 9 people because of the folk instrumentation, with the flute and violin players fairly often even getting soloes. They are probably the most famous Spanish language metal band, but pretty much unknown outside of Spain and Latin America.

This is my personal favorite song of theirs (and where my sig comes from)
