Ah, that makes sense. I kinda think of them as equally trash and equally power, so at times I just say one or the other when I'm talking about them. But, honestly, I'd have to agree with what you guys established here simply because of the vocal style. If you take the vocals out, or just listen to an instrumental like The Funeral, they sound so thrashy to me. But add those vocals in and power metal definitely wins in describing them.
Sorry for the confusion, I honestly should have (and do!) known better!
