Best Power Metal Albums

The Top Ten
1 Nightfall in Middle-Earth - Blind Guardian

My favorites are, in no particular order:
Nightfall in Middle Earth by Blind Guardian
Land of the Free by Gamma Ray
Sonic Firestorm by Dragonforce
Virus by Heavenly (not really sure if that's progressive or power though)

2 Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 2 - Helloween

I think it is the best metal album from here to ETERNITY!

Best Power Metal Album...Nice vocal by Kiske

3 Horror Show - Iced Earth

This is my second favorite power metal album and my favorite IE album wolf damien dracula frankenstein jerkyll and hyde and phantom of operea ghost are ausome

4 Somewhere Far Beyond - Blind Guardian

An album that is a bit heavier, a bit progressive, a bit experimental. What can be better?
This album improved the idea of power metal in 1992.
It also contains the first symphonic metal song - Theatre Of Pain (or the 2nd after Rainbow's Eyes Of the World, 1979, but I prefer to call Rainbow song proto-symphonic metal).

5 Land of the Free - Gamma Ray
6 Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1 - Helloween

I love the second part but the first one is puro gold, need to be number one

More serious than Part 2

7 Night at the Opera - Blind Guardian
8 The Black Halo - Kamelot

This album, combined with it's predecessor, Epica, is an awesome journey in an epic modern tale resembling Goethe's Faust

9 Walls of Jericho - Helloween

The quintessential power metal album, victim of fate, absolutely amazing guitar work.

Maybe the best album of all time.
Really deserves #1.
Thank you helloween and thank you god of power metal kai hansen.

This isn't a power metal album though

10 Wintersun - Wintersun

Inspirational

The Contenders
11 Burnt Offerings - Iced Earth
12 The Metal Opera - Avantasia

A masterpiece by one of the greatest power metal projects. Farewell is beautiful.

13 As the World Bleeds - Theocracy
14 Ecliptica - Sonata Arctica

Every single song in this album is fantastic! The vocals are top notch. The guitar solos are well made, the drumming is epic! Some of the songs in this album are remakes of demos they worked on for many years, the effort invested matches the product.
My favorite power metal album without question.

Best album by Sonata Arctica

15 Sonic Firestorm - Dragonforce
16 Something Wicked This Way Comes - Iced Earth
17 Oceanborn - Nightwish
18 Anima Mundi - Dionysus
19 Mandrake - Edguy
20 Beyond the Red Mirror - Blind Guardian
21 Demons & Wizards - Demons & Wizards
22 Imaginations from the Other Side - Blind Guardian

Why is this amazimg album so far down below the likes of A Night at the Opera and At the Edge of time? Both of those albums are among the worst albums in Blind Guardian's catalogue.

Why is this album so low on this list?

Every track? Every note!

23 Temple of Shadows - Angra
24 Dawn of Victory - Rhapsody (of Fire)
25 Symphony of Enchanted Land - Rhapsody
