If you already checked my previous list (http://metalstorm.net/users/list.php?list_id=312) and are aware about most of the albums on that list then you might want other solid power metal albums to check out. This is my list of 2nd line power metal albums that are really good and should be included in your musical library.

Notes:

- The first track in the favorite tracks description section of each album is usually my favorite on the album
- I avoided adding albums of bands that are included in the previous list

If you have a thing for stats like I do then countries by albums:

Germany - 7
Sweden - 5
Italy - 3
Finland - 2
USA - 2
Brazil - 1
England - 1
Netherlands - 1
Austria - 1
Mixed - 1

1.Victorius - Dreamchaser

2.Dreamland - Future's Calling

3.Theocracy - As The World Bleeds

4.Serious Black - As Daylight Breaks

5.Mob Rules - Savage Land

This is a list of my favorite albums that will constantly change, as there are new albums out all the time, and this list is in no particular order.
As a disclaimer, there are many albums containing songs that are my favorites; the other songs are why the album might not be a favorite. That is why a lot of the older stuff that I enjoy is not on here. I'll make a list for my favorite songs... eventually.

1.DragonForce - The Power Within

2.Nightwish - Century Child

3.Kamelot - Karma

4.Nightwish - Dark Passion Play

5.Epica - Design Your Universe
