Top 10 Non-Extreme Metal Songs of 2018

Not all metal fans like extreme metal so this list is about metal songs that are melodic and with clean vocals all the time or most of the time.
The Top Ten
1 Lightning Strike - Judas Priest

The Metal Gods are still going strong. The key members are in their 60s and 70s and they still rock! Hand down.

2 The Bee - Amorphis

There are some harsh vox though

3 New Rise - Primal Fear

I'd call this band Judas Priest Jr. No, they don't rip off Judas Priest. Primal Fear just sound pretty much like Judas Priest - high pitched vox, twin lead guitars, same metal subgenre(s), overall sound.

4 They Played Rock and Roll - Saxon
5 The Golden Elk - Amorphis

Amorphis' 2018 album is very strong and several songs can be in the top 10.

6 Heart of the Giant - Amorphis
7 Firepower - Judas Priest

Judas Priest's new album was very good so don't be surprised there is more than one song in my top 10

8 Fearless - Gus G.

A pleasant metal instrumental piece. Gus G. is a very good guitarist.

9 Caveman - Angra

Proggy instrumental part with Spanish/Latino influenced tunes (Angra are from Brazil)

10 From Ashes to Flames - Dust in Mind
The Contenders
11 The Ritual - Primal Fear
12 Blades in the Night - Visigoth

American power metal.

13 Outlive Them All - Visigoth
14 Phantom Divine (Shadow Empire) - Kamelot
15 The Good Doctor - Haken
16 War Horns - Angra
17 Zombie Dance - Grave Digger
18 Flame Thrower - Judas Priest
19 The Beast - Primal Fear
20 Steel and Silver - Visigoth
21 Z.I.T.O. - Angra
