Power Metal!!!

Quote :: Ok what I'm talking about is albums like Riot's Thundersteel, Priest's Painkiller - fast, heavy, with lots of hooks.

I need some more albums like that (and yes I have all of Primal Fear's albums)

Suggestions?

Here are some of mine:
Recon - Behind Enemy Lines
anything by Primal Fear
Sanctuary - Refuge Denied
Sardonyx - Majestic Serenity (has some melodic moments, but is a pretty powerful album. Raw production with the bass out front. I really dig it.)
Fates Warning - No Exit
Metal Church - Metal Church (or any Metal Church)
Seven Witches - Year of the Witch
Rage - Soundchase
Haven - Age of Darkness
Saxon - Lionheart
Saxon - The Inner Sanctum
Dream Evil - Evilized
Brainstorm - Liquid Monster
Powersurge - MCMXCI
Symphony X - Paradise Lost (yes, probably a bit proggy, but this is one heavy release with many speed and thrash metal elements.)
Meliah Rage - The Deep and Dreamless Sleep (often mislabled as a thrash band, this band has more in common with Metal Church than Vicious Rumors than Kreator or Testament.)
Vicious Rumors

In the 80's bands like Metal Church were called power metal. Now it's the dungeons and dragon, keyboard laced metal. However, I think the guy asking here is looking for stuff more in the style of Primal Fear.

Falconer - Chapters of a Vale Forlorn

Beyond Fear

Winter's Bane

Firewind - I find them to be on the more traditional metal side of powermetal

Metalium

Crescent Shield - The Last Of My Kind (I recently got this from someone here and I can't get enough of this. It sounds to me like it was pulled right out of the 80's powermetal scene Ult speaks of yet it came out last year!)

-Force Of Evil
-Jacob's Dream
-Marshall Law
-Saxon......after "Forever Free".From "Unleash The Beast"/"Dogs Of War" to present.

Ohhhh, two excellent choises. Not sure how I forgot Winter's Bane "Heart of a Killer".

Some of the BLAZE material is worth checking out too.

Good call on Sinergy. Too bad Sins Of The Past is looking to be their Chinese Democracy.

I'll add Chinchilla, just because he can score Madness at lasercd.com for $2.50, and because they're damn good!
