My Top 5: 1. Helloween - Walls of Jericho 2. Hammerfall - Glory to the Brave 3. Savatage - Sirens 4. Blind Guardian - Battalions of Fear 5. Gamma Ray - Heading for Tomorrow
Power metal is one of the genres where I can count the bands I've heard on 1 hand. Will get more into it as the years go on. Though most of what I have heard I've loved, just need to be in the mood to want to listen to Power metal.
I’d definitely recommend checking out more of Edguy’s stuff. The debut album of theirs is pretty solid but it’s their albums like theater of salvation and hellfire club that I think you’d enjoy
You say that Helloween pretty much started it but the Jag Panzer came out a year before Walls of Jericho - US Power Metal preceded European Power Metal by a little! And you've got Battle Hymn in 1982 and Savatage's Sirens in 1983. USPM FOREVER!
Dude u should do like a out and about video. It would be hilarious. Just walking around or in stores. Or tour your ur house or talk about ur fav movies. Just for a few videos. It would be epic seeing u say. Oh well. That dogs taking a shit. Let’s keep walking. Lol😂
Blind Guardian and Helloween are top tier, even if it's not their best albums. Followed by Powerwolf and Gloryhammer which are decent albums- the rest, I'll pass on. For best debut not listed, Civil War.
Didn't realise my face was blocking the S tier haha apologies about that
all good man don't sweat it ❤❤❤
My Top 5:
1. Helloween - Walls of Jericho

4. Blind Guardian - Battalions of Fear
5. Gamma Ray - Heading for Tomorrow
Thank you for the push!
I agree with your choices very fair assessment cheers
Valley of the Damned is special as it's the first band/album I ever discovered solely online (early days of iTunes)

Great list! I'm starting to come to the conclusion more and more that Rhapsody is the power metal GOAT. Hope to see more PM vids!
Blind Guardian is one my favorite bands thanks to you at the moment. I would love to see a song ranking by them
Angra is sooo underrated out the brazil
Primal Fear is basically a Judas Priest clone early on in their discography
Primal Fear debut is literally Painkiller 2.0
Sounds like I would love it then
Thanks for the shoutout! Btw w in my name is pronounced same as v ;)
1. Sonata Arctica: Ecliptica
2. Blind Guardian: Battalions of fear
Hammerfall: glory to the brave
Jag Panzer is the best out of all of them. The energy of this album is just incomparable
Yeah that album is pretty intense
It’s good old uspm goodness though I’m sure Thralls of Metal would insist they are speed metal lol
Questy is dead. Long live Quest For Metal!
Here here !
Did you go to bloodstock
Firewind debut is 🔥🔥, labyrinth debut omg check it out 10/10
Hey there chap, can’t see the whole damn tier list!
Sonata Arctica's Ecliptica S+ Tier

This tier list is lacking in US power metal
