The Dark Element's "Songs the Night Sings" isn't power metal

Although The Dark Element has often bordered on power metal, their second album Songs the Night Sings has more of a full-on symphonic metal sound. The fast melodic guitarwork, anthemic hooks, and fantasy-ish lyrics aren't as much as in their debut. The two Dark Element albums basically relive the "symphonic power metal to symphonic metal" transition of vocalist Anette Olzon's albums with Nightwish. So I'd like to submit The Dark Element's "Songs the Night Sings" to the Hall to be removed from power metal while maintaining its position in symphonic metal.
