I wore myself out on power metal in the late 90s/early 2000s. By 2005, I was officially done with the genre, other than checking out the new Hammerfall albums when they'd come out. Some times, though, I'll get in the mood to hear a few of my favorite tunes from the time, and they are always the catchier, more anthemic songs from the bands. Stuff like:
-Cryonic Temple- Swords and Diamonds -Dream Evil- The Chosen Ones -Luca Turilli- Ancient Forest of Elves -Avantasia- The Seven Angels -Stratovarius- Eagleheart
In the past few years, friends have introduced me to a few tunes that are catchy/anthemic as hell that would get added to that category, like Powerwolf's "We Drink Your Blood" and Sabaton's "Prima Victoria."
So I was looking for suggestions of really catchy power metal anthems. I want to make a Spotify list (and an eventual buy-the-MP3-and-burn-to-a-CD permanent comp CD.
*Please don't respond with "Anything by ______". Well, you can, but it won't really be helpful. I'm not digging through a band's discog, I just want like 10 or 12 songs to get stoked on. **Though I love female-fronted rock n' roll, I have never heard a power metal band with a female vocalist that I have liked.
So any suggestions at all? Thanks!

When I think of anthemic power metal songs, this is one that always pops into my head:

Or how about catchy, anthemic power metal with bagpipes?

The new Civil War album is full of catchy anthems:
Alestorm are both funny and catchy....
Almost all of Powerwolfs songs are catcy anthems..
Turisas
Korpiklaani, more catcy power from Finland

And then there's Gloryhammer, a side project of Alestorm's frontman
Cardiant - Stars Upon Your Life
Timeless Miracle - Curse Of The Werewolf
And if you're looking for something a little different, you could always try Van Canto.

Hmmm...I'm a fan of catchy. First one that comes to mind.
Some others that are, I think, not as widely known...
