Running Wild's "Port Royal" isn't power metal

As with several of Running Wild's other records, I once again find myself struggling to pick up where people are finding the links to Power Metal. Of the ten proper songs included here seven of them sit firmly in the traditional Heavy Metal camp while "Into The Arena", "Warchild" & lengthy closer "Calico Jack" veer over towards a faster, more energetic Speed Metal sound but there are only ever hints at genuine power metal & not enough for a primary tag in my opinion. I'd like to see the Power Metal tag removed from the release so that it resides solely under the Heavy Metal tag.
