Interesting picks. Looking forward to part 2 with the top 10 albums. Personally, I would love to see Nevermore included - it's almost infuriating how underrated that band was. Yes, Sanctuary were much closer to the archetypical US Power Metal sound but Nevermore were unique, as was Warrel Dane. He is sorely missed.

Θα ήθελα να προσθέσω τα έξης διαμάντια ευρωπαϊκού power από τα μέσα 80's μέχρι τώρα, ανεξάρτητα από που κατάγεται η μπάντα: Cloven Hoof-Dominator, Trojan-Chasing The Storm (μπορείς να τους πεις και κλασικό heavy, όπως επίσης συμβαίνει και με τους Blind Fury, Marshall Law, Jackal), Artch-Return To Church Hill, Steel Angel-And The Angels Were Made Of Steel, Zed Yago-From Over Yonder, Pariah-Blaze Of Oscurity, Paradox-Heresy, Talion-Killing The World, Scanner-Terminal Earth, Vavel-Vavel, Crows-The Dying Race, Tragedy Divine-Visions Of Power, Dark Quarterer-War Tears, Deceptor-The Legend (compilation), Superior-Moral Alliance (με το απίστευτο Odyssey), Hexenhaus-Dejavoodoo, Tad Morose-Modus Vivendi, Morgana LeFay-Grand Materia, Veni Domine-Material Sanctuary (αν και είναι περισσότερο επικό doom, όπως φυσικά και η υπόλοιπη αυτή σκηνή με Sorcerer, Scald, Memory Garden, Procession, Fifth Reason, Zoic, Forsaken, Below, Doomocracy, Altar Of Oblivion, Gothic Stone, Godthrymm), Angel Dust-Enlighten The Darkness, Labyrinth-Return To Heaven Denied, Evergrey-In Search Of Truth, Lost Horizon-A Flame To The Ground Beneath, Pagan's Mind-Celestial Entrance, Nocturnal Rites-Grand Illusion, Shadowkeep-A Chaos Theory, οι Βραζιλιάνοι Dark Avenger-The Beloved Bones και Heaven's Guardian-DOLL (οι οποίοι, μουσικά αμερικανίζουν πολύ), Balance Of Power-Heathen Machine (με φωνή Γιάννη Κουτσελίνη από Deceptor), Pyramaze-Melancholy Beast, Tarot-Crows Fly Back, Doomsword-Let Battle Commence, Hollow-Architect Of The Mind, Heathendom-Nescience, Incrave-Dead End, Silent Force-Infatuator, Communic-Waves Of Visual Decay, Grand Magus-Hammer Of The North, Eternity's End-The Fire Within, Arrayan Path-IV Stigmata, Armory(US)-Empyrean Realms, Crosswind-Vicious Dominion, Masters Of Disguise-The Savage And The Grace, Wardrum-Awakening, Atlantean Kodex-The White Godess, Assassin's Blade-Agents Of Mystification (Σουηδοκαναδοί), Armory(SWE)-Mercurion, Sacred Outcry-Towers Of Gold, Warrior Path-The Mad King, Mortalicum-Epilogue Of Life, Stygian Fair-Aradia. Μεγάλη πρόσφατη πλάκα με τους Φινλανδούς Graven Sin (με φωνή τον Νικόλα Λεπτό, από Arrayan Path). Απόλοτζιζ για το κατεβατό...

Μερικά, που λέει ο λόγος..., ακόμα κρυμμένα διαμάντια του είδους, θα μπορούσαν χαλαρά, να είναι τα: Gargoyle - Gargoyle, Hittman - Hittman, Screamer - Target Earth, Oliver Magnum-Oliver Magnum, Sword - Sweet Dreams (αν και Καναδοί), Powerlord - The Awakening, Cities - Annihillation Absolute, Glacier - Glacier, Hexx - Under The Spell, Fifth Angel - Fifth Angel, Deaf Dealer - Journey Into Fear, Attacker - The Second Coming, Powermad - Absolute Power, Powersurge - MCMXCI, Zion's Abyss - TALES, Recon - Behind Enemy Lines, Winters Bane - Heart Of A Killer, Forte - Stranger Than Fiction, Doctor Butcher - Doctor Butcher, Zaxas - Zaxas, Control Denied - Fragile Art Of Existence, Seven Witches - City Of Lost Souls, Seasons Of The Wolf - Nocturnal Revelation, Antithesis - Antithesis, Jacob's Dream - Theater Of War, Darkology - Fated To Burn, Outworld - Outworld, Cage - Darker Than Black, Eidolon - The Parallel Otherworld, Future's End - Memoirs Of A Broken Man, Crescent Shield - The Last Of My Kind, Knight Fury - Time To Rock, Steel Assassin - War Of The Eight Saints, Dofka - Humanity Bleak, Pharaoh - Bury The Light, Dark Arena - Alien Factor, Siren - A Mercenary's Tale, Psychoprism - RISE, Witherfall - Curse Of Autumn. Καλύτερα να μην αρχίσουμε και με τις επανακυκλοφορίες από απίθανες obscurίλες του είδους, τα τελευταία 10 και βάλε, χρόνια...

Great lists dudes. US metal is a big favourite. Its lovely to see bands like Oracle, Ritual, Steel Prophet etc among other giants. I will keep my list for the second part since that idiom demands thought but I will agree to the magical brilliance of Eternal Quest by Mystic Force. An album that has marked me since it came out. An underrated gem full of incredible, melodic and powerful songs that range from catchy to complex epic highlights. A band of incredibly talented musicians. Everyone of them stood out. I mean just listen to the drumming of Chris Lembach. Geniuses

🤘🤘🤘🤘

Τι στο καλό...η Αμερική που το εφηύρε είναι σε άλλο ηλιακό σύστημα;

Great video, so many great top tens..here's mine.. 1. Exodus - Bonded By Blood 2. Slayer - Reign In Blood 3. Meliah Rage - Kill To Survive 4. Metallica - Ride The Lightning 5. Vektor - Black Future 6. Sodom - Sodom 7. Kreator - Phantom Antichrist 8. Bestial Invasion - Divine Comedy: Inferno 9. Sepultura - Beneath The Remains 10.Reionized - Entry Descent Annihilate

Great video, great lists and recommendations everyone!! As already discussed, we hope you do an Epic one too since it's assumed it was de facto non covered... Great presentations too in the video!!

My favorite thrash album has to go to Vektor's Terminal Redux. Not the most easily accesible, even to those who love thrash (mostly because of the black metal style of vocals) but it's a masterpiece. Listened to it in one sitting and nearly fell off my chair when I got to the end of Recharging the Void.

great video ...great lists!!!!

My laptop decided to resurrect itself so I could watch another episode of Addicted To Lists! Oh the memories from that 1997 Rock of Gods festival. I had just arrived in Athens from Drama and had made my way to the football stadium that hosted the festival, naively thinking that I could get a ticket. I was devastated when I found out that it had been sold out, so I listened (and wept) as Dave Lombardo destroyed his drums while I was standing outside the stadium. Then, after a lot of pleading and begging, me and a few others were let inside, just when Bruce Dickinson began his majestic appearance with Accident Of Birth. To me, he was the headliner of the evening (well, at least compared to Megadeth which followed who, while not bad, I felt like they were not giving it their all). A few hours later, completely beat but happy as can be, I started the long trek back to New Philadelphia and my aunt's house where I would be staying the night before boarding a ship that would take my brother and I to Paros the next morning. Ah, to be 23 again...

My fave thrash albums: 1. Fear of God: "Within the Veil" 2. Mastodon: "Blood Mountain" 3. Metallica: "Ride the Lightning" 4. Watchtower: "Energetic Disassembly" 5. Venom: "Metal Black" 6. Anthrax: "Sound of White Noise" 7. Overkill: "Scorched" 8. Testament: "Low" 9. Metal Church: "Blessing in Disguise" 10. Annihilator: "Schizo Deluxe" Honorable mentions: Desaster: "The Arts of Destruction" Slayer: "Show No Mercy" Sodom: "Sodom"

No Place For Disgrace - superb choice, and I agree with "I live, you die" and especially "Escape...", Flots is where thrash meets deep emotions. And an absolutely awesome live band.

Άλλη μια λίστα 🤘🤘 1 Exodus - Bonded By Blood 2 Megadeth - Rust In Peace 3 Metallica - Ride The Lightning 4 Slayer - Reign in Blood 5 Death Angel - The Ultra-Violence 6 Sepultura - Arise 7 Kreator - Coma Of Souls 8 Overkill - Feel The Fire 9 Forbidden - Forbidden Evil 10 Paradox - Heresy

Another great episode! Waiting for the Doom metal lists...

Another in series of very Interesting episodes ALL the best Regards John Marston ✊

Great lists as always, keep rockin' !

Για κάποιο λόγο, πάντα είχα στο μυαλό μου το heavy metal, συνυφασμένο με το thrash. Ίσως για τη λύσσα που βγάζει. Ίσως για την πώρωση. Ίσως για την ταχύτητα και την τραχύτητα. Ποιος ξέρει; Πάμε να δούμε λοιπόν για ένα ακόμα challenge... 1. Exodus - Bonded By Blood 2. Metallika - Master Of Puppets 3. Slayer - Reign In Blood 4. Voivod - Dimension Hatross ή Killing Technology * 5. Megadeth - Rust In Peace 6. Grip Inc - Power Of Inner Strength 7. Slayer - Hell Awaits 8. Sodom - Agent Orange 9. Sepultura - Chaos A.D. 10. Annihilator - Alice In Hell * Συγνώμη που έκλεψα. Πραγματικά δεν μπορούσα να αποφασίσω...

Υπέροχο κανάλι και πολύ όμορφη παρουσίαση! 🤘🏿

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Also gutter ballet to me is more progressive than power metal as as the late PAUL ONEIL produced the albumand had them go in a more progressive direction i didnt see hall of the mountain king

Dont reslly like power metal they all sound the same to me inoticed you had conception on your list thats a great band but i think their more progressive metal than power metal

I love progressive/death metal so i wad very intrigued by your channel i will be checking out a few on your list that ive never heard of before

Toooooooooooo He'll YESSSSSSSSSSSSS 🤘 ⚡ . Power Metal. ⚡

Great list, once again. For me it's not a surprise seeing Land Of The Free topping the list - I've always considered that album as the unofficial Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part 3. Also, kudos to all involved for giving some "smaller" bands proper recognition. Living In Hysteria is a hidden gem, Stormwarrior are excellent disciples of the Helloween/Gamma Ray school of music, whereas Falconer have released some very interesting albums - I have a soft spot for Armod with its all-Swedish lyrics (that language lends itself beautifully to heavy/power metal).

Great channel! Subscribed immediately! Hail to Doomocracy! Cheers from Serbia! 🤘🏻❤️‍🔥🍻😎

Another lovely video. I am a bit torn here because I feel like there will be another list for us power metal and epic metal cause I am not seeing much of it them the video. They would probably dominate my list so I will try to make a mix of us and euro power excluding bands I rate as pure epic metal like Manowar, Omen etc. 10) Blind Guardian - Somewhere Far Beyond 9) Stratovarious - Twilight Time 8) Falconer - Falconer 7) Gamma Ray - Insanity and Genius 6) Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 2. 5) Iced Earth - Burnt Offerings 4) Winter's Bane - Heart of a Killer 3) Sanctuary - Into the Mirror Black 2) Mystic Force - Eternal Quest 1) Conception - Parallel Minds ...I put that first in my prog list too but I cant help myself. It dominates both sounds for me

Really hard to define "power metal" genre and even harder to choose a top10 from its vast treasure of great bands out there! So, RESPECT for trying, Michael, it's PURE FUN!!!

Black in Mind! Such a masterpiece! One of my all time favourite albums up to this day! I really enjoy your lists Μιχάλη! Great taste in music and that shows also in the amazing band you front (I guess you like to keep the comment section in English , that’s why I’m writing in English)

great list once again! Love that Conception album, but it's a bit too proggy for me to consider it a power metal album. :) Here's my Top 10: Angra - Angels Cry Blind Guardian - Imaginations from the Other Side Labyrinth - Return to Heaven Denied Rhapsody - Legendary Tales Nocturnal Rites - Afterlife Stratovarius - Visions Lost Horizon - Awakening the World Gamma Ray - Somewhere Out In Space Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys Pt 2 Kamelot - The Fourth Legacy

❤
