Think about it. Some of the biggest albums in our genre:
Edguy-Vain Glory Opera
Angra-Holy Land
Stratovarius-Visions
Conception-Flow
Kamelot-Fourth Legacy
Rhapsody- Symphony of Enchanted Lands
Labyrinth-Return to Heaven Denied
Nightwish-Wishmaster
Blind Guardian-Imaginations from the Other Side
are more than 10 years old! Some of our favorite bands that we consider to be in the modern metal scene have been around for 15 years or more!
Okay, feeling old aside, how do you feel these now classic metal albums stack up with the older classics like Powerslave, Keeper of the Seven Keys, Holy Diver, Images and Words, etc.? IMO, they are right up there, I realize these bands will never achieve the sales figures of Iron Maiden, Dio, or Black Sabbath, but they deserve a place in the Hall of Fame for what they've contributed to the evolution of our favorite music.
