Top 40 Power Metal Albums
|
Power Metal is a genre I've gotten into quite a bit over the past few years. I'd only really listened to Symphony X before, but discovered Blind Guardian, Wuthering Heights, Gamma Ray and others thanks to MS!
So here are my favourites of the genre with my rating, its sub-genre and release year: (Score is an average of each album's song ratings, full list located here) If you discovered any new albums or like the same sort of power metal, be sure to give this list a thumbs-up and leave a comment so more people can find these amazing bands! My other lists: Top 500 Albums (ordered & rated) Top 25 EPs (also ordered & rated) Top 200 Overlooked Albums (with genres) Top 200 Overrated Albums (trigger warning) So I Heard You Like Wintersun... (Time II find new bands)

Well I can't argue with your number 1 spot  Have you had a listen to last year's Sacred Outcry - Towers Of Gold? Not sure if it would make the list of all time greats but I'd still say it's one of the best power metal releases in the last few years.

I see Night of the Stormrider but I see no Burnt Offerings.

Written by AndyMetalFreak on 12.02.2024 at 19:01 Thanks, I'll check that album out! Written by A Real Mönkey on 12.02.2024 at 20:07 I've given it an 8/10, but it has been a while since I've listened to it so I shall add it to the re-listen list! Written by Redel on 12.02.2024 at 21:26 I've heard albums from all of these bands, Helloween's 'Walls of Jericho' is the only album I've given 9/10 so it could be added to this list once I've done song ratings for it. I'll be sure to add the others to the re-listen list though as it's been a while since I've heard them!

Great list, just absolutely shocked by the lack of Helloween. Otherwise, great stuff in my book.
