Default Power metal albums...

Don't worry - it's not a fight!

After the banter I have been involved in over the last few weeks has subsided slightly now - I thought I would consider what power metal albums I have actually bought over the years. Here's the ones I can remember:

Are 54 - No Visable Scars
Area 54 - Beckoning Of The End
Bal Sagoth - Battle Magic
Children Of Bodom - Hatebreeder
Chlidren Of Bodom -
Chlidren Of Bodom - Hatecrew Death Roll
Demons And Wizards - Demons And Wizards
Gamma Ray - No World Order
Helloween - Keeper Of TheSeven Keys Part II*
Helloween - Better Than Raw
Iced Earth - Iced Earth
Iced Earth - Night Of The Storm Rider
Iced Earth - Burnt Offerings
Iced Earth - Days Of Purgatory
Iced Earth - Dark Saga*
Iced Earth - Something Wicked This Way Comes*
Iced Earth - Horror Show
Iced Earth - The Glorious Burden
Nightwish - Wishmaster
Nightwish - Century Child
Nightwish - Once
Primal Fear - Black Sun
Stratovarius - Elements Part I
Symphony X - The Divine Wings Of Tragedy
Symphony X - V
Symphony X - The Odyssey*
Three Inches Of Blood - Battlecry Under A Winter Sun
Threshold - Critical Mass
Threshold - Critical Energy

1998 was a great year for me and power metal, and as you can tell, I used to like Iced Earth! Anyway...


What power metal albums do you own? Any ones you are particularly proud or ashamed of?

And don't be dirty: downloading doesn't count - they have to be REAL copies.

I haven't included stuff like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden - who some people might say were.




* denotes particularly good power metal album

Have to say I'm shocked by the absence of any Stratovarius in that list.

I'm not posting my list, it'll take far too fucking long to type.....

All the iced earth ones are the original American releases too... not the British reissues (although the reisuues actually have the cooler artwork, done by Travis Smith I think)

I'll have to level with you though, I don't think too much of the Stratovarius one, or Glorius Burden. Also the day I bought Demons and Wizards I listed to the first proper song (Heaven Denies) and loved it! But then I heard the rest of the album and was a bit gutted...especially stuff like Fiddler On The Green.

However, people will rip me for Bal Sagoth but I love that album
