Best band Power metal of all time secondo DeBaser.

❝ 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

❝ 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.

❝ 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.

❝ Let's be honest: what a bore!

❝ In summary, then, the album is absolutely not a disaster, but lacks inventiveness in the second part, which turns out to be boring and stagnant, even if the always catchy and direct choruses that have always distinguished the band remain.

❝ Par Sundstrom himself has declared that this is the most important track in the entire Sabaton discography.

❝ "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.

❝ Certainly, they are not innovators, they don’t offer varied music, nor do they have complex songs from a compositional standpoint, they don’t have complicated songwriting, but strangely enough, it works.

❝ "(r)Evolution" thus represents the beginning of a new course for Hammerfall, who finally abandon certain habits too present in previous releases, such as the forced insertion of covers, instrumental tracks, and absolutely pointless mid-tempos.

❝ Now here I am about to listen to this "No Sacrifice, No Victory" and... the emptiness. Total dismay. Nothingness. A black hole.

❝ A great comeback. Powerful. Technically enviable. Swedish.

❝ This is Power metal Alright with a capital P (and A), so away with problems, the usual everyday nonsense, away with Metallica, Dream Theater, away with the ones who are a pain because Dream Theater isn't spelled right, away with everything, close your bedroom door, turn the volume up to the max, and enjoy the essence of pure Scandinavian power metal.

❝ Despite being allergic to power "metal" like a vampire to garlic, I decided to listen to this new album by Stratovarius driven by an irrepressible curiosity

❝ If you have never liked Stratovarius, you won’t change your mind listening to this "Eternal,"

❝ Stratovarius, who awakened (true) metal from a troubled period with "Visions," a milestone of power metal.

❝ "It does not mean the end... it never really ends..."

❝ Crimson Glory: the charm, the mystical, the legend!

❝ the legend is dead!

❝

"United," the fourth studio effort from Swedish band Dream Evil (2006), was an album that sparked mixed opinions: some worshipped it as a masterpiece, while others considered it a bitter disappointment.

❝ 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.

❝ It's albums like "Coming from the Sky" by Heavenly, released in 2001 by Noise Records, that are destroying power metal.

❝ Soto is always the usual monotone singer, the guitarist shows, like another 100 out-of-the-ordinary sector colleagues, to have skill, while the drums have a muddy and annoying sound.

❝ 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.

❝ 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.

❝ 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.

❝ An unmissable metal opera for fans of the genre!

❝ The title track, on the other hand, is a musical bomb.

❝ We are certainly not facing one of the masterpieces of the genre, but The Wicked Symphony remains a good power metal album, one of the best of this 2010.

❝ “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.”

❝ 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.

❝ 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

❝ “Emerald Sword” is THE POWER METAL SONG, 4 beautiful minutes of swirling and whirling emotions that truly capture the soul, a timeless anthem that speaks directly to the listener's heart.

❝ “In conclusion, despite saving three tracks, the album leaks from all sides and not even a hyper-production and a good instrumental performance by all the band members can lift this record from total insufficiency.”

❝ “A CD to own, but not a masterpiece.”

❝ Jag Panzer was born in 1981 in Colorado.

❝ Because the Panzer were able, with just one album and an EP, to give the "go" to American Power Metal.

❝ Authentic heroes of the American metallic underground, Jag Panzer have never received the recognition they deserved.

❝ I have never been a fan of epic and power metal.

❝ This little gem that should be in every respectable music collection is a real collection of pearls, from the opening song "Moonlight," with its immensely singable chorus, to more melodic and dreamy tracks like "The Night of Dreams" or "State of Grace," up to the two tear-jerking ballads "Heaven Denied" or "Falling Rain."

❝ Born as a fundamental turning point in the career of these fantastic musicians, "Freeman" encompasses elements predominantly from metal but also from progressive rock, even reaching actual jazzy breaks; this fusion of genres has been achieved so well thanks to the technique of the individual musicians, who, thanks to a high level of instrumental preparation, manage to compose soundscapes made up of the most diverse musical influences.

❝ An excellent album, therefore, by a band reborn under the sign of very moderate innovation but which remains firmly anchored to a formula tried and tested with success countless times.
