2010 was a great start for the decade, a lot of great release came out that year, one of the strongest in power metal, black metal had a strong showing same with Progressive, Gothic and Doom metal, even thrash and old school Havey metal had a great number of releases.

2.Enslaved - Axioma Ethica Odini

3.Accept - Blood Of The Nations

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.

The name is "fastest double-bass" but I still incluided some quadruple and triple pedal songs for the sake of it.

I metronomed these and many more to make a definite double-bass chart. BUT IT'S NOT EVEN NEARLY FINISHED YET, so make suggestions.
These are the studio versions, but I often point out if the a live version is different. Also, small rolls don't count. The track must have 16 consecutive hits for it to be listed.

1.Henker - Mental Corruption

2.Despised Icon - Fainted Blue Ornaments

3.Henker - Slave Of My Art

4.Guido Wyss - COMMANDO NOÏSE TERROR - ATTACK 1 (it's his project, I don't know how the name is supposed to be laid out)

5.Arcturus - The Arcturian Sign

1.Violet Sun - Loneliness In Supremacy

2.Pathfinder - Beyond The Space, Beyond The Time

3.Terra Prima - And Life Begins

4.Thaurorod - Upon Haunted Battlefields

*The title is a joke, of course

The Current Decade (2010-2019) in order of preference. This is separate from my year-lists, which strive to include as many albums from the year as possible regardless of quality. Only albums I deem worthy of a favorites list by personal taste will make it. I'd say Axioma Ethica Odini has a major step up on anything beneath it this decade; it's the only truly perfect album so far in my eyes. Last overhauled: May 13th. Now it's a bit tighter.

1.Enslaved - Axioma Ethica Odini

2.Septicflesh - The Great Mass

3.40 Watt Sun - The Inside Room

4.Antichrist - Forbidden World

5.Agalloch - Marrow Of The Spirit

My "Final Selection" for 2010. Top 10 in order. The Rest for A-Z.
As a big fan of Power and Folk metal, this year was quiet good. The return of Rhapsody, new actors as Ancient Bards, Sinbreed, great comeback - Accept, Masterplan with Jorn, long awaited albums - Orphaned Land, Blind Guardian and Alcest. Some discoveries - Finsterforst, Skiltron, Pretty Maids (shame on me)and Orden Ogan. Some unexpected suprises Black Majesty, Iron Fire. Not to say that many bands didnt disappoint me with their new album - Derdian, Freedom Call, Eluvetie, Galneyrus, Wuthering Heights. Good year, a little bit above the average

1.Blind Guardian - At The Edge Of Time

2.Pathfinder - Beyond The Space, Beyond The Time

3.Freedom Call - Legend Of The Shadowking

4.Derdian - New Era Pt. 3 - The Apocalypse

5.Rhapsody Of Fire - The Frozen Tears Of Angels
