Best artist Power metal of all time secondo DeBaser.

❝ "Follow The Blind!"

❝ "Farewell, He said...Back to where it all began..."

❝ I looked closely at the mirror and gazed through it: I saw a fantastic world made of ruined houses and skies dominated by dragons moving from one side to the other.

❝ Practically, the "Bible of melodic power metal" that has been popular for the last decade.

❝ Helloween came back just when I least expected it: it was about time!!!

❝ This thing called an album is a nightmare come true, it’s an abomination, it’s inexplicable trash, it’s pure crap, it’s the worst album I never bought

❝ A knowing glance between Li and Totman and thus Dragonforce is born, aka ludicrous speed in metal.

❝ speed, speed, and more speed!!!

❝ predictable yet furious and extremely fast power metal: drums and guitar at a minimum of 200 bpm and incredible fun;

❝ Ladies and gentlemen, here is... Pippo Franco.

❝ It's really true: Running Wild were without any doubt "The Chiefs".

❝ If you don't know them, buy it blind.

❝ A mess.

❝ Vicious Rumors created, in those much-praised by me ’80s, that raw jewel of rare power; rawer than a drunken biker on Southern Comfort and cheap Mexican diesel.

❝ Hear ye, hear ye! An Italian power metal band decides to create a concept album! What? What's new about this? Simple: it's an intelligent concept! And it's wonderfully musicked!

❝ Masterpiece.

❝ Overall, the album achieves perfection in the genre (at least among the Power made in Italy); the musicians have all proven themselves impressively by committing to the fusion of classic power, progressive, and hard rock.

❝ Gamma Ray means Kai Hansen.

❝ I'm not afraid to define as the absolute best in Gamma Ray's discography and one of the best in metal in general.

❝ The Teutonic band disappoints those who expected any kind of musical evolution.

❝ Perfect from every point of view, where the songs (taken from all the band’s works without underestimating any album) are played so well that the live seems like a fake studio recording, given also the excellent mixing by Jim Morris, who couldn’t have done any better.

❝ In conclusion, a great album, recommended to all lovers of a powerful and structured Metal, yet melodic; in short, one of the finest expressions of Heavy Metal in these years.

❝ How else to define "Dante's Inferno"? A devastating ride with the Supreme Poet through all the circles of Hell, among fire, flames, demons, and the damned until reaching Lucifer himself.

❝ Orietta Berti from Cavriago (RE).

❝ Orietta, Orietta, what beautiful songs you made us hear.

❝ There are few bands like Riot, and this release today, represents a small gem that every genre lover will surely adore, and I recommend buying it sight unseen.

❝ Not giving it a listen would truly be a big mistake, especially if this is the genre you prefer.

❝ Riot were a fundamental band in the history of heavy metal, as they were the first in the United States to infuse it with the most primordial power metal (nothing to do with what power metal would become in the 90s, to be clear).

❝ And finally, let's send them Mino Reitano, who sings everywhere he goes ITALIA, ITALIA, whose text is simply this, to be memorized, even for Muslims who want citizenship, and that every patrol of Carabinieri has the authority to request during document checks. Don't know it? Out you go!

❝ “Rage is like ham and mushroom pizza at a pizzeria, in moments of indecision, you can never go wrong.”

❝ “Rage is one of those bands.”

❝ “we are talking about Metal songs played almost entirely by the Prague Symphony Orchestra, to whom Peavy Wagner turned.”

❝ Buy this The Divine Wings Of Tragedy by Symphony X and you'll understand what Dream Theater really are: a bunch of wannabes!

❝ The true Symphony X is born with this album!

❝ Romeo proves to be one of the best composers and guitarists currently on the global prog-metal scene…

❝ But Pavone is the exception that proves the rule.

❝ A Felliniesque tune that transforms into a kind of rock'n'roll, a cheap little allegretto, but money well spent.

❝ Nonetheless, "Holy Land" by Angra is one of those albums capable of giving me strong and full sensations even after 15 years.

❝ A masterpiece, no other words come to mind when listening to one of those albums destined to change music forever, leaving a mark as deep as it is appreciated: 'Angels Cry' is all this.

❝ In conclusion, the outstanding sound production, the comprehensive technical skill of the lineup, the excellently planned contributions from the "guests", the goodness of the highly varied tracklist, the depth of the lyrics, and the intriguing cover make "Temple of Shadows" one of my best purchases from 2004 to today.

❝ Roy Khan's voice is not only beautiful and technically impeccable.

❝ The climb to success for Kamelot seems unstoppable, and this album, "Ghost Opera," a new exciting chapter in the saga of the American combo, is here to dispel any shadow of doubt.

❝ But the more I listen to this album, the more I am certain that I am in the presence of their apex

❝ What I am describing today is a sound suicide of rare spectacle.

❝ In short, a great album from a very young group that perhaps stands as the most promising power group currently in circulation, given the stylistic fossilization of Stratovarius & co.

❝ Without calling it a masterpiece, I consider "Ecliptica" a good example of melodic power metal from the late ’90s.

❝ Edguy seem tough, but if you listen to them and read their lyrics, you realize they couldn't give a damn about Odin, honor, glorious death, the sanctity of metal, the beauty of battle, the Devil, or much less a club in his honor.

❝ The latest effort from the Germans Edguy is dedicated to those who believe that power has nothing more to say.

❝ Tobias Sammet is growing up, and with his little hand, besides signing autographs, blowing kisses to fans, and fixing his hair, he's also bidding farewell to the genre that made him famous.

❝ Believe me, on this album, Lione has done a monstrous job, limiting the high notes and giving more 'importance' to the interpretative component; truly an excellent result.

❝ Do not expect, therefore, any revolutions, even though the album is enjoyable to listen to, characterized by many mid-tempos in which orchestral sounds almost drown out the classic metal ones, shifting, as mentioned above, the balance more towards the symphonic component than the metal one.

❝ “Dark Wings of Steel” is an anomalous record, full of lights and shadows, clouded by the mysticism that veils not only its atmosphere but also its creation.

❝ “Ghost In The Ruins” is the testament that Savatage wants to leave to their fans to remember that Criss will never be forgotten, and even if he was never one of those guitarists inclined to interviews and praise, in fact, for much of his career in Savatage he was never seen in a good light by critics, his music and passion are still alive in the hearts of those who have always appreciated him, and want to continue remembering him.

❝ With this quote begins what can easily be considered the musical masterpiece of the symphonic-baroque era of Savatage: “Dead Winter Dead”.

❝ The following album “Gutter Ballet,” from 1989, alongside “Streets: a Rock Opera,” represents the peak of Savatage’s career.
