| SMOK'S TOP POWER METALZ
GABBY GABALDOR WANTS POWER!!! UNLEASH YOUR INNER DRAGONSLAYER!!!! | 24 | ![](images/albums/318448.jpg-thumbl) | Sabaton The Great War
czech
all around good album climaxing in red baron | 23 | ![](images/albums/9682.jpg-thumbl) | X Japan Blue Blood
great album, highlights in kurenai and rose of pain | 22 | ![](images/albums/76781.jpg-thumbl) | Timeless Miracle Into the Enchanted Chamber
amazing power with super cheesy cringe lyrics sung with a pop punk/ghost twang and i love it | 21 | ![](images/albums/220896.jpg-thumbl) | Sabaton The Last Stand
yes
bros u got hussars, sparta, scotland, last stand, shiroyama, this album is bomb hehe | 20 | ![](images/albums/328788.jpg-thumbl) | Moonlight Haze De rerum natura
a few missteps in the second half but nearly a perfectly executed symphonic album | 19 | ![](images/albums/472899.jpg-thumbl) | Palantir Nightmare Opus
first few tracks are like a weaker version of sonarcs first albums, but then they turn it up with sailing on. title track is a masterpiece, any band that can make a 10min track like that and nail every section is worth keeping an eye on | 18 | ![](images/albums/152022.jpg-thumbl) | Derdian New Era Pt. 3 - The Apocalypse
the quality on these first 3 albums has been insane, though the strings are clearly starting to unravel here especially in the latter half of the album, less creative, more generic and non-derdian sounding. still a highly enjoyable neoclass pm album with my own favourites in the spell, battleplan, and dreams | 17 | ![](images/albums/211084.jpg-thumbl) | Numenor Colossal Darkness
great meloblack/symph/power/folk debut | 16 | ![](images/albums/208387.jpg-thumbl) | Galneryus Under the Force of Courage
excellent anime metal overall, tho the random haphazard proggy bits slow it down and the latter half of the album doesnt quite clinch despite quality, raise my sword and voice of grievous cry are the trv winners on this bum | 15 | ![](images/albums/4023.jpg-thumbl) | Sonata Arctica Winterheart's Guild
*~*~pure~magic~*~* | 14 | ![](images/albums/416356.jpg-thumbl) | Power Paladin With the Magic of Windfyre Steel
solid trv power metal m/ dark crystal especially is pure win | 13 | ![](images/albums/725.jpg-thumbl) | Sonata Arctica Ecliptica
trv music magic _O_/ | 12 | ![](images/albums/17166.jpg-thumbl) | Bal-Sagoth Atlantis Ascendant
album starts as tolerably cheesy cringe (the good kind), but from star-maps onwards builds into a trv melodic/power bm feast. dreamer in the catacombs to end is a solid slab of epic bm adjacent win | 11 | ![](images/albums/292881.jpg-thumbl) | Black Forest Dream
a magical blackened power metal feast | 10 | ![](images/albums/16570.jpg-thumbl) | Dark Moor The Gates of Oblivion
amazing neoclassical powered metal, at least at the beginning, then depreciates from midway onward, still heart of stone, new world, and starsmaker elbereth ignite imagination | 9 | ![](images/albums/148865.jpg-thumbl) | Derdian New Era Pt. 1
an amazing neoclassical power metal album successfully soaring like icarus before plummeting on ironically enough where i can fly and landing in the crystal lake, but soaring once again towards the safety of its cage of light | 8 | ![](images/albums/464028.jpg-thumbl) | Moonlight Sorcery Horned Lord of the Thorned Castle
an album length version of all their previous efforts. hyper melodic, dark and zany as only a blackened power metal album could be, pure win, nuff said | 7 | ![](images/albums/5761.jpg-thumbl) | DragonForce Inhuman Rampage
ON A COLD WINTER MORNING, IN THE TIME BEFORE THE LIGHT IN FLAMES OF DEATH'S ETERNAL REIGN, WE RIDE TOWARDS THE FIGHT WHEN THE DARKNESS HAS FALLEN DOWN, AND THE TIMES ARE TOUGH ALL RIGHT THE SOUND OF EVIL LAUGHTER FALLS AROUND THE WORLD TONIGHT FIGHTING HARD, FIGHTING ON FOR THE STEEL, THROUGH THE WASTELANDS EVERMORE THE SCATTERED SOULS WILL FEEL THE HELL, BODIES WASTED ON THE SHORES ON THE BLACKEST PLAINS IN HELL'S DOMAIN, WE WATCH THEM AS THEY GO IN FIRE AND PAIN, NOW ONCE AGAIN, WE KNOW SO NOW WE FLY EVER FREE WE'RE FREE BEFORE THE THUNDERSTORM ON TOWARDS THE WILDERNESS, OUR QUEST CARRIES ON FAR BEYOND THE SUNDOWN, FAR BEYOND THE MOONLIGHT DEEP INSIDE OUR HEARTS AND ALL OUR SOULS SO FAR AWAY, WE WAIT FOR THE DAY FOR THE LIVES ALL SO WASTED AND GONE WE FEEL THE PAIN OF A LIFETIME LOST IN A THOUSAND DAYS THROUGH THE FIRE AND THE FLAMES, WE CARRY ON AS THE RED DAY IS DAWNING AND THE LIGHTNING CRACKS THE SKY THEY'LL RAISE THEIR HANDS TO THE HEAVENS ABOVE WITH RESENTMENT IN THEIR EYES RUN | 6 | ![](images/albums/65184.jpg-thumbl) | Pathfinder Beyond the Space, Beyond the Time
a chaotic eclipse of every pm convention bent, twisted and thrown out every which way. it often gets in its own way as a result but has too many awesome moments to discount it much | 5 | ![](images/albums/180308.jpg-thumbl) | Twilight Force Tales of Ancient Prophecies
my life now belongs to twilight force | 4 | ![](images/albums/325217.jpg-thumbl) | Majestica Above the Sky
an absolutely majestic masterpiece of power metal m/ | 3 | ![](images/albums/211085.jpg-thumbl) | Numenor Sword and Sorcery
amazing meloblack/power/symph/folk album with trvly manly cleans | 2 | ![](images/albums/148867.jpg-thumbl) | Derdian New Era Pt. 2: War of the Gods
an excellent neoclassical power metal opera surpassing their debut with souldepth melodrama in every chorus | 1 | ![](images/albums/223444.jpg-thumbl) | Twilight Force Heroes of Mighty Magic
pure peak power metal m/ HEROES OF MIGHTY BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLSSSSSSSSSSS | |

06.03.24 | Worst 3 sub-genres of Metal:
1. Metalcore
2. Power Metal
3. Viking Metal
;) | ToSmokMuzyki
06.03.24 | mccore is punk (worst punk tho agreed), worst 3 are grind groove and stoner | budgie
06.03.24 | featured!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | PortalofPerfection

06.03.24 | agreed metalcore worst subgenre
first iteration of power metal was great though (manilla road, brocas helm) | PortalofPerfection
06.03.24 | Power metal just has so little wiggle room. 90% of it sounds exactly the same.
That being said, metalcore has even less wiggle room and 99% of it sounds exactly the same.
Still love the top tier stuff though. Unearth is one of my favorite bands ever. | Ryus
