Rebellion was a band I for some reason took a while before giving them a chance. I've never been intrested in the whole viking concept and I thought it would be just a Grave Digger knockoff. Oh my how I was wrong.. Rebellion is equally good and has delivered a couple of classic albums that can easily match Grave Digger at it's best. Rebellion is one of the top bands in the genre and there are few other bands that has written as many great metal hymns as them.
For those who haven't still listened to them, your in for a treat.

1.Rebellion - Sagas Of Iceland: The History Of The Vikings Volume I

2.Rebellion - Shakespeare's Macbeth - A Tragedy In Steel

3.Rebellion - Miklagard: The History Of The Vikings Volume II

4.Rebellion - Arise: From Ginnungagap To Ragnarök - The History Of The Vikings Volume III

5.Rebellion - Born A Rebel

Not my favourite band but I did like them quite much when I was discovering power metal. The music is pretty much what you would expect from a band from Hamburg, heavy fast riffing and anthem-like choruses. If you've missed them but like Iron Savior, Helloween, Rage or Grave Digger then check out their latest couple of ones which has been very enjoyable albums.

1.Paragon - Law Of The Blade

2.Paragon - The Dark Legacy

3.Paragon - Force Of Destruction

4.Paragon - Controlled Demolition

5.Paragon - Hell Beyond Hell

2.Vision Divine - Destination Set To Nowhere

3.Vision Divine - Stream Of Consciousness

4.Vision Divine - When All The Heroes Are Dead

5.Vision Divine - 9 Degrees West Of The Moon

Blaze Bayley has been a favourite of mine for a long time. I think X-Factor is among the best metal albums released and his own career is jam packed with fantastic songs. Blaze is one of those hard working guys in metal that do endless tours and try giving the fans everything he got. I was a bit burnt out by him at the Promise and Terror and King of Metal period but he came back with the great Infinite Entanglement trilogy and now I can't wait for him to release another album.

It was some time ago I heard Silicon Messiah and was really blown away how awesome that album is, one of the best comebacks in metal. Gave a real boot to everyone who gave him shit in Iron Maiden, the band he had at that point was out of this world, just check out some live material on youtube from his early tours if you don't believe me!

1.Blaze - Silicon Messiah

2.Blaze - Tenth Dimension

3.Blaze Bayley - The Redemption Of William Black

4.Blaze Bayley - Endure And Survive

5.Blaze Bayley - Infinite Entanglement

Virgin Steele. Very few bands have had the same impact on me as Virgin Steele. There so many memories that can be connected to their songs. As time has go by David Defeis has seemed to lost it totally but you should never forget that they once were among the best and their music will live forever. I still wish I would have the possibility to see them live and I hope their next album will kick some major ass! Here's my rank, rating and some of my favourite songs from each albums!

A Hymn to the Fearless, the Savage, the Brave, The Spirit of our Liberty
Total my debts, tally my sins, charge each offence on my scroll
I'll never alter the course of my Steele, I am the King of my Soul!

1.Virgin Steele - The House Of Atreus Act I

2.Virgin Steele - Invictus

3.Virgin Steele - The House Of Atreus Act II

4.Virgin Steele - Age Of Consent

5.Virgin Steele - Guardians Of The Flame

A great band that has now released a string of great albums. This list is pretty much set in stone even if Tiara and Waiting in the Wings could change place, let's see if I like Tiara equally much in a couple of years. Hopefully they will release a new one pretty soon, 8 years between the two last ones is way too long time.

1.Seventh Wonder - Mercy Falls

2.Seventh Wonder - Tiara

3.Seventh Wonder - Waiting In The Wings

4.Seventh Wonder - The Great Escape

5.Seventh Wonder - The Testament

One of my favourite bands and sadly they haven't released that many albums. It's said that a new one is in the works but who knows if and when it will be released. Still there's few things as rewarding as listen through their entire discography as it's very strong. If you haven't heard SG but like Dream Theater, Symphony X, Pagan's Mind and what not then you've got nothing to lose, you will love them!

1.Shadow Gallery - Legacy

2.Shadow Gallery - Tyranny

3.Shadow Gallery - Carved In Stone

4.Shadow Gallery - Shadow Gallery

5.Shadow Gallery - Room V

Bruce Dickinsons solo career is a varied ride. He tried some different rock styles and did try to go in a different direction than his Maiden years, still he's best work is the albums that most resemble his years in Iron Maiden so it went full circle. Even if I'm not so fond of some of his albums I still think it's an intresting career and there's plenty of good songs to find and lyrics wise he's most of the time on point. Sadly with all his different projects going on these days we will never see another solo album, but you never know. So here's my ranking of his solo records.

1.Bruce Dickinson - The Chemical Wedding

2.Bruce Dickinson - Accident Of Birth

3.Bruce Dickinson - The Mandrake Project

4.Bruce Dickinson - Skunkworks

5.Bruce Dickinson - Tyranny Of Souls

Demon got famous in the early 80's when releasing two NWOBHM sounding albums. And that's what they famous for. Classics as Don't Break the Circle, Night of the Demon and Deliever Us From Evil can't be underestimated, yet as you can see from my list I think nearly all their later albums surpassed those two first ones. If you are only familiar with the classics you should check out their other albums which sometimes leaning towards prog rock and sometimes melodic rock. Whatever the case they always rocked!

1.Demon - Hold On To The Dream

2.Demon - Taking The World By Storm

3.Demon - British Standard Approved

4.Demon - Breakout

5.Demon - The Plague

Fronted by the almighty Tyrant, led by Mark Briody and been a home to guitar lords as Joey Tafolla, Chris Broderick and Christian Lasegue. And no, let's no forget the rythm section by John Tetley and the beast Rikard Stjernquist. Jag Panzer has it all and it reflects on their strong material. Apart from the mistep in in the early 90's they have never released a weak album and time and time again proves they are among the top bands in the genre. The last 15 years we've only got 2 albums which is a shame, they really need to step up their writing and recording process. So here are all their albums ranked with some top picks to guide you. Total destruction from the Panzer patrol, Fire and brimstone taking its toll!!

1.Jag Panzer - Ample Destruction

2.Jag Panzer - Thane To The Throne

3.Jag Panzer - Chain Of Command

4.Jag Panzer - The Deviant Chord

5.Jag Panzer - The Scourge Of The Light

One of the long time running german bands that started off quite shaky before releasing a string of excellent anthem packed albums, to only fall away into a quite shaky last years. That's too bad but when they were at their peak, very few bands could touch them. Here's my take on their entire discography

1.Grave Digger - Heart Of Darkness

2.Grave Digger - The Grave Digger

3.Grave Digger - Rheingold

4.Grave Digger - Knights Of The Cross

5.Grave Digger - Excalibur

To build up the hype to the upcoming album by Lord (about time you lazy bunch... yeah I know I know, they released a lot of new stuff and re-recordings and other stuff but whatever) I did some careful listen to the earlier works of Tim and his mates. All the albums are real crackers and listen to all of them in order is a great way to improve your working day. Here it goes!

1.Dungeon - The Final Chapter

2.Lord - Digital Lies

3.Lord - Set In Stone

4.Dungeon - One Step Beyond

5.Lord - Ascendence

One of the hardest working bands in all of metal with one of the most extensive catalogues. Peavy has really been busy throughout his career and luckily most of the time he has surrounded himself without other great musicans that have helped Rage becoming one of the most reliable bands still around. Here's all the Rage albums ranked, also including some of the albums that was released under other names.

1.Rage - The Missing Link

2.Rage - Soundchaser

3.Rage - Speak Of The Dead

4.Rage - Black In Mind

5.Rage - Secrets In A Weird World
