Top 10 German Power Metal Songs

The Top Ten
1 And Then There Was Silence - Blind Guardian

I didn't add Blind Guardian's symphonic metal masterpieces (Wheel Of Time, Sacred Worlds) because it's a different subgenre - close to power metal but different. 'And Then There Was Silence' has some symphonic arrangements but for me it's epic progressive power metal.

Even though the song is fourteen minutes long, it's still probably the best Blind Guardian song.

2 Keeper of the Seven Keys - Helloween

Helloween's magnum opus.

3 Rebellion in Dreamland - Gamma Ray
4 New Age Messiah - Edguy
5 Mirror, Mirror - Blind Guardian

I started to listening some blind guardian songs.and they are great!

6 The Scarecrow - Avantasia
7 Nightfall - Blind Guardian

This song is so beautiful.

8 Land of the Free - Gamma Ray
9 Demons and Angels - Primal Fear
10 Valhalla - Blind Guardian

A song originally released in 1989. I am so happy they re-recorded this song circa 2011 for the album Memories of a Time to Come. Overall, it sounds much better and even Kai Hansen vocals are better on the new version. Wow, 22 years later they made a better version.
On the song sample is the new version.

A song with one of the best metal choruses ever written ("Valhalla, deliverance..."), a quite heavy and memorable riff, and a duet of Hansi and Kai.

The Contenders
11 Sanctified with Dynamite - Powerwolf
12 Otherland - Blind Guardian
13 Last Before the Storm - Gamma Ray
14 The Seven Angels - Avantasia
15 Riding the Eagle - Primal Fear

That solo, that drummer...

16 Curse of Feanor - Blind Guardian
17 Impaler - Paragon
18 Time Stands Still - Blind Guardian
19 Vain Glory Opera - Edguy

Hansi Kursch is a guest musician and sings several lines after the guitar solo. I love Sammet and Kursch individually but when can hear their voices in one song - it's what many people call eargasm.

20 Six Times Dead (16.6) - Primal Fear

The correct item title is: Six Times Dead (16.6) - Primal Fear.
I have no idea why the song title vanished... The song sample is correct though - it's really the song Six Times Dead (16.6) by Primal Fear.

One of the catchiest choruses on this list and a cool drum intro.

21 I Want Out - Helloween
22 Gardens of the Sinner - Gamma Ray
23 Dethrone Tyranny - Gamma Ray
24 Halloween - Helloween
25 Serpents in Paradise - Avantasia
