- ‘Welcome to Hell,’ Venom. Blasphemy has been an effective attention grabber for centuries, but until 1981, heavy metal had never seen a band go as all-in on Satan as the three lads from Newcastle calling themselves Venom did.
- ‘Planets Collide,’ Crowbar. In the early Nineties, Crowbar established themselves as the gruffest act on the bustling New Orleans metal scene. But “Planets Collide,” the leadoff track from the band’s fifth album, 1998’s Odd Fellows Rest, showed that there was way more to guitarist-vocalist-bandleader Kirk Windstein than his bellowing, grimacing MTV visage suggested.
- ‘Executioner’s Tax (Swing of the Axe),’ Power Trip. Everything about Power Trip screamed throwback — from their tasteful marriage of hardcore and thrash, building on the golden era of so-called “crossover,” right down to their 1987-style album-cover font.
- ‘43% Burnt,’ The Dillinger Escape Plan. Prog and hardcore punk once seemed like polar musical opposites, but by the late Nineties, a handful of innovative acts had found a way to combine the complexity of the former style with the fury of the latter.
- Chris Chantler
- Iced Earth - Something Wicked This Way Comes (1998) Iced Earth’s first four albums were more complex, but Jon Schaffer’s tech-thrash chops and Matt Barlow’s dramatic pipes reach their pinnacle on this more direct offering.
- Virgin Steele - The House Of Atreus Act II (2000) Subtitled ‘A Barbaric-Romantic Opera’ - and actually staged as musical theatre (in Germany) - the New Yorkers’ 10th album is the conclusion of their retelling of Aeschylus’s Greek tragedies, a monument to total conviction and obsessive zeal.
- Queensryche - The Warning (1984) Before conquering the mainstream with Operation: Mindcrime, Seattle’s prog-metal pioneers had a precociously firm grasp on their own brand of high-tech, visionary power metal, evident in the bravura dramatics of Geoff Tate’s voice and the dark, pensive arrangements.
- Cirith Ungol - King Of The Dead (1984) These Tolkien-indebted Californians formed as early as 1971, embracing the 80s metal revolution on versatile 1981 debut Frost & Fire.

- Sacred Outcry – Damned for All Time. [Cover artwork: George Apalodimas] Without question, there are an infinite amount of cases similar to what Greece’s Sacred Outcry endured regarding their debut full-length, but very few are lucky enough to have a comparable positive outcome resulting in a triumph as significant as Damned for All Time.
- Goldenhall – Collide. [Cover artwork: Claudio Bergamín] The fact that a year as dreadful as 2020 decided to provide two remarkable power metal albums equally deserving of the top spot seems every bit as fortuitous as it is unjust.
- Seven Spires – Emerald Seas. [Cover artwork: Junki Sakuraba] The second band on this year’s list to bring a substantial level of theatricality to the table is Boston’s Seven Spires.
- Unleash the Archers – Abyss. [Cover artwork: Adam Burke] Hello, I am an idiot. Perhaps you’re already aware of this, but in case you need further proof related to power metal, consider the fact that I have Unleash the Archer’s Abyss in my number four spot after saying this approximately three months ago
