Rainbow created power metal in the 1970s. Some of the earliest songs were Stargazer, Gates of Babylon, Kill the King etc. Which had power metal lyrics and solos. The solos were very fast to consider power metal.

But the band, Helloween combined speed metal with heavy metal and neoclassical metal and created the album keeper of the seven keys which sounds like modern day power metal.
