Did you skip Tower of Spite?

Skip? I had on life sucks and then went right to Death Erotica, so if that's what you mean, then yes. But i do also own Tower of Spite ( and Bastards).

Breitenhold; Swedish power metal, very flowery and soaring.

That's what I meant. Asked just because I like Tower of Spite a lot but never quite got into the others.

Me too, like Tower of Spite a lot. I think they had a really nice run. I don't know if you're just not familiar with, or didn't care for Bastards and Death Erotica, but i like those a lot too. Be hard pressed to choose a favorite. I like Life Sucks but don't think its anywhere as good as what followed. Pretty awesome band, i should listen to them more often.

Both Breitenhold albums are good albums, Cedrick's released some good stuff over the years.

I've never checked out Blut Aus Nord (I don't think) but this is really good.

Solid album. They really jump aroohnd stylistically between album suites so there's a lot to potentially love. Their early albums are a little more raw, the Memoria Vetusta trio lean harder atmospheric, 777 trilogy is a much darker/dissonant/bizarre take, and the latest one Deus Salutis Meæ really doubles down on a thicker industrial/black sound. Memoria Vetusta II is probably my personal favorite.

Couldn't put my finger on it until halfway through the album, but Johnny Touch is like a cross between Judas Priest, Thin Lizzy and Spellcaster

So good.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Wasn't sure about this but the last two songs more than redeem itself. This fucking rules.

 

[Baroque]

Just not enough room in the top 10, this might sneak in though, amazing guitars and powerful vocals. Reminds me in some ways of Yngwie's work with certain vocalists
