Top 5 powermetal albums of all time!

[Krigloch the Furious]

should be fun

 

[Hail The Wizard!]

dragonforce - inhuman rampage
firewind - the premonition

i dont really listen to much power metal but those and a couple and maybe some hammerfall albums

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

my top 5. in no order.
Notice how all bands have high pitched singers, well except for Blind Guardian. Hansi is just a full on badass.

Hibria - Defying the Rules
Lost Horizon - A Flame To The Ground Beneath
Heavenly - Dust to Dust
Heavenly - Sign of the Winner
Blind Guardian - Somewhere Far Beyond

 

[SentinelSlain]

I don't listen to what most people call power metal very often, but I like a lot of tradition metal that I am led to believe may have been called that at the time.

Anyway this is all I can remember, I'd have to re-listen to loads of stuff to write a proper list. I might be overrating this Stormwitch album.

Blind Guardian - Battalions of fear
Helloween - Walls of Jericho
Helloween - Keeper of the 7 keys pt 1
Gamma Ray - Insanity and Genius
Stormwitch - The Beauty and the Beast

 

[Vilden]

Random Gamma Ray album to hold as your favourite.

 

[Einherjar86]

Just five is tough.

In no specific order:

Kiuas- Spirit of Ukko
Blind Guardian- Nightfall in Middle Earth
Falconer- s/t
Kamelot- Epica
Virgin Steele- The House of Atreus Act II

 

[SentinelSlain]

That's the only one I've got .

edit:

at Vilden

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Adramelch - Irae Melanox
Fates Warning - The Spectre Within
Savatage - Sirens
Slauter Xstroyes - Free the Beast
The Lord Weird Slough Feg - Traveller

Ball-less queens. And I'd say that Hansi's voice is high-pitched; he just has a badass scream to it.

Lost Horizon - A Flame To The Ground Beneath

That's a great album.

Yeah, I agree. Lance King is one of my favorite power metal vocalists. Still, I like mid-range vocalists too.

You should check out Powerwolf Krig; the vocalist sings in a high register, but he has a fucking badass voice.

Blind Guardian - Follow The Blind
Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle Earth
Jag Panzer - Casting Stones
Stratovarious - Infinite
Control Denied - Fragile Art of Existance

My list would probably get laughed into oblivion.

But what evs, fuck you guys.

Iced Earth - Something Wicked This Way Comes
Iced Earth - Horror Show
Wintersun - Wintersun
Children of Bodom - Hatebreeder
Children of Bodom - Follow the Reaper

 

[J.]

Manowar - Hail to England
Manowar - Into Glory Ride
Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle Earth
Omen - Battle Cry
Manowar - Sign of the Hammer

If we're counting Slough Feg as PM, then we have to count Manilla Road, who would own the whole list.

Manilla Road - Crystal Logic
Manilla Road - Open the Gates
Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys Part I
