Best Album Closers

A lot has already been said about the best album openers in metal. Not that much do we talk about abum closers though.
I guess for me the ending of an album is at least as important as its start.
I have put here my favourite album closers in all metal of all time, in descending order of my preference. And I am looking forward to your comments on it.

1.Iron Maiden - Powerslave
2.Iced Earth - Burnt Offerings
3.Mercyful Fate - Melissa
4.Opeth - Morningrise
5.Slayer - Seasons In The Abyss

Empowering Albums For Powerless Losers

This is a list of all the power metal albums I have listened to that are worth remembering. Like my other genre lists, this is not meant to be a definitive guide to power metal or a binding judgment on what power metal is or is not. The list exists purely for my own organizational purposes and may contain bands or albums that are not strictly True Knights of the Eternal Thundersword.

The first cluster includes my favorite albums in the genre (and a significant number of my all-time favorites); beyond that, they are listed by rating from 9/10 down to 6/10 and alphabetically within each bracket.

Last updated November 27, 2021.

1.Blind Guardian - Nightfall In Middle-Earth
2.Blind Guardian - Imaginations From The Other Side
3.Blind Guardian - Somewhere Far Beyond
4.Jag Panzer - Thane To The Throne
5.X Japan - Art Of Life

Iced Earth - Studio Album Ranking

A list ranking the Iced Earth studio recordings. I didn't put Tribute To The Gods in the list because I wanted the list to be about Iced Earth's own original work.

Also Days Of Purgatory is also not added to the list since that album was mostly a re-recording of their older songs.

And I added the 3 best songs (imo) of every album in the list as well.

1.Iced Earth - The Dark Saga
2.Iced Earth - Night Of The Stormrider
3.Iced Earth - Burnt Offerings
4.Iced Earth - Framing Armageddon (Something Wicked - Part 1)
5.Iced Earth - Horror Show

Epic Album Closers

Some albums are really good. Many of these are good all the way around. And, in many cases, there is a single song that stands out, sometimes it's the last song on the album. This is a list of those songs.

For a more in depth look at this, I've codified each into a given category:
Type 1 - 'The long song at the end.' Often the title track. These have a tendency to be most well written and dynamic pieces on the album.

1.!T.O.O.H.! - Order And Punishment (Řád A Trest)
2.Abigail Williams - Becoming
3.Agalloch - The Mantle
4.Amon Amarth - Versus The World
5.Anekdoten - Vemod
