This is a list of all the power metal albums I have listened to that are worth remembering. Like my other genre lists, this is not meant to be a definitive guide to power metal or a binding judgment on what power metal is or is not. The list exists purely for my own organizational purposes and may contain bands or albums that are not strictly True Knights of the Eternal Thundersword.

The first cluster includes my favorite albums in the genre (and a significant number of my all-time favorites); beyond that, they are listed by rating from 9/10 down to 6/10 and alphabetically within each bracket.

My personal ranking of all the Gamma Ray studio albums. My top 3 sometimes switches, but I do consider Power Plant to be the best power metal album of the 90's so it makes sense to keep it at number 1 here. The albums of the early 90's have grown on me over the years and I am starting to enjoy them more than their latest efforts. Albums like Sigh No More, Empire Of The Undead and To The Metal! have some great tracks, but I find them all to be pretty average. Sigh No More nearly made it a little higher up thanks to "One With The World", but no...it is surely the weakest Gamma Ray album.

Every year, hundreds of albums are written and released for people to buy and hopefully not steal. I spend most of my free time searching far and wide for new music, most of which only very few people know about. This list will contain all the albums released this year that I listened to, and what I thought of it. The rating system is as follows:
Based = Awesome, Perfect
Chill = Solid, Substantial
Dope = Good-not-great, Something I'll only listen to if I'm bored
Retarded = Mediocre, Unremarkable
Mindfucked = Complete waste of time
Also, there will be albums that aren't metal that will appear here, just cause.

1.1349 - Massive Cauldron Of Chaos

2.Abigor - Leytmotif Luzifer - The 7 Temptations Of Man

3.Aborted - The Necrotic Manifesto

4.Aenaon - Extance

5.Agalloch - The Serpent & The Sphere

3.Threshold - For The Journey

So far, 2014 has been such an amazing ride in every respective field of music. Metal is no stranger, since its wide variety of sub-genres make this 2014 race and interesting one.
This list is 100% based on my personal taste and, while I try to listen to every genre and release, some are just way to Heavy for me so there probably won't be much Extreme stuff around here.

1.Major Parkinson - Twilight Cinema

2.Hail Spirit Noir - Oi Magoi

3.Agalloch - The Serpent & The Sphere

4.Triptykon - Melana Chasmata

5.IQ - The Road Of Bones

1.Mayhem - Esoteric Warfare

2.Triptykon - Melana Chasmata

3.Insomnium - Shadows Of The Dying Sun

4.Behemoth - The Satanist
