Nightwish “The Siren”
Can we talk about how epic the instrumentation is in a lot of Nightwish songs? This song is a great example of how Nightwish writes such masterpieces, and has created some of the most amazing music over the years!!

Been a while since I last did this, here are 15 of my favorite power metal albums from 15 different bands!!! These are albums I feel that are so well written, there isn’t a bad song on the album. The guitar, drumming, lyrics are well written, the vocals are done well, the power of the metal can certainly be felt!! (See what I did there? 😛)
I felt wrong not to have Iron Maiden in the list since they are practically the creators of power metal, and have influenced so many bands and musicians over the years. What are some of your favorite power metal bands and albums?

Dragonforce and Powerwolf live at GLC Live at 20 Monroe!!! This was such an amazing show!!! I loved every moment of it, I am so sore, and hoarce voice and sweaty from jumping and screaming!! But I love it, that is the sign of a metal concert done correctly!!

Oceans of Slumber “The Adorned Fathomless Creation”

Love the heaviness of this song !!

Lyrics:
Now, being free, you are licentious and ruthless the same
Instigating, you're no object now summoning
A wilful force, a new home to injustice
Experience now an excuse for the slaughtering

A higher power, a righteous claim to rein
A prideful glance, a judgmental gaze
And it brings the weak to their knees
A delicacy of suffering
And nothing will ever take their pride away

You crave control
A wilful force, a grave injustice
Killed by who you feared the most, the fool in the mirror
Where is the line drawn?
Between what you seek and what you need?

Is there meaning
To the constant pain and suffering?
What do you need?
Your victims only revered in death
Here we all play roles
Some of us just never leading
Are you happy?
And will you ever get enough?

Now, being free
You are licentious and ruthless the same
Instigating
You're no object
Now summoning
A wilful force
A new home to injustice
Experience now an excuse for the slaughtering

A higher power, a righteous claim to rein
A prideful glance, a judgmental gaze
And it brings the weak to their knees
A delicacy of suffering
And nothing will ever take their pride away

They're coming for you now
(Coming for you now)
Coming to collect what you've taken
(What you've taken)
Coming to take you home
(To take you home)
Coming to dig your grave
(To dig your grave)

They're coming for you now
(Coming for you now)
They want what they once were denied
(What you denied)
Coming to collect their woes
(Collect their woes)
From upon your tainted shrines
(Your tainted shrines)

They're coming for you now
(Coming for you now)
Coming to collect what you've taken
(What you've taken)
Coming to take you home
Coming to dig your grave
(To dig your grave)

They're coming for you now
Coming to collect what you've denied
Coming to collect their woes
From upon your tainted shrines
Coming to take you home

Now, being free, you are licentious and ruthless the same
Instigating, you're no object now summoning
A wilful force, a new home to injustice
Experience now an excuse for the slaughtering

Oceans of Slumber “A Return To the Earth Below”

Lyrics:

Broken glass and I am holding my breath
Hands are trembling
I thought today would be like any other
But the bell jars coming down
A sudden sinking and my heart is falling
Right down into the ground
I feel the panic inside overtaking
Any resolve I thought I'd found

On the ledge we danced, now we are falling
And the walls are closing in
When the darkness gathers, we are crawling
And the worms are coming in

My thoughts are racing and my heart is shattered
Like a bird caught in a cage
Like the sky that fights the storm from overtaking
The serene I thought I'd found
It waits for me
Oh, it never really left
It takes hold of me
And it drags me straight to Hell

On the ledge we danced, now we are falling
And the walls are closing in
When the darkness gathers, we are crawling
And the worms are coming in

In only a moment the tides have all changed
Erasing the work and toil of previous days
I lean into the void
That I always knew would come to reclaim my light

I have spent my whole life running
And I have tried, I have tried to flee from myself
I could never, no, I could never weather the storm
Rising, that was rising, rising from within me
It doesn't matter the time in between

Darkness carved its mark in me
Carved its mark in everything
But I'm done, I'm done running
I stand in the rain
Here I stand
Purge my fear and make my claim

WATAIN “We Remain”

What’s your favorite songs from the black metal band WATAIN?
This is one of my favorite songs from them!!

Lyrics:

WE REMAIN
How red and full of truth are not
the stories by the fires told?
Absorbed and passed on by every dreamer
Madly drunk from embers glow

Always with the whirling dust
of winding roads to mask our trail
And cloak the paths 'pon which we rode
So that legends dim might tell our tale

On waves of wildest oceans borne
In roaring chant a song unheard
Thus was brought the lore, to havens far
The echo of the primal word

For what is truth but what we make it?
A tale deformed by wind and rain
By temple stone and eager flame
Concealed, in spirit
We remain

Like a marooned enchantress stranded in the tropic of deceit
The truth abides within us all
Patiently awaiting the rise of her star
And its vengeful light to shine on our betrayal

For in the breaking of the final dawn and the silencing of all
Her muted voice shall rise in grace anew
At the unweaving of the webs and the dismantling of the world
We will remember her

Hark unto its hissing tongue
That dark wind of which dreams are made
On it blows, that fateful song
On and on and on

What if life is but an intermission?
The flickering of dying flame
And in the endless night in which it burns
Concealed, forever
We remain

"We Remain" is the third and final single to make way for the upcoming album "The Agony & Ecstasy of Watain" out via Nuclear Blast on April 29 2022.Guest voc...

Within Temptation “Restless”
One of my favorite songs from their first album ‘Enter’

Lyrics:
She embraced with a smile
As she opened the door
A cold wind blows
It puts a chill into her heart
You have taken away the trust
You're the ghost haunting through her heart
Past and present are one in her head
You're the ghost haunting through her heart
Take my hand as I wonder through
All my life I gave to you
Take my hand as I wonder through
All my love I gave to you
You have taken away the trust
You're the ghost haunting through her heart
Take my hand as I wonder through
All my life I gave to you
Take my hand as I wonder through
All my love I gave to you

Seven Spires “Stay”!!!
One of my favorite songs from their first album!!

Lyrics:

There's a certain look that lies
Behind your sunken eyes, I know
How shadows fall across your face
You breathed and gave them life
Didn't you wonder how they know
All your nightmares and your memories?
Wouldn't it be grand to never face the morning sun?
Don't you long to rest your weary head for good?
By the light of the crescent moon, I'll pray your soul will keep
So close your eyes, close your eyes
When the sun slips down to dusk
Beneath the horizon where you'll be
All but enveloped by your sins
Watch your body turn to dust
Tossed to the wind and scattered by
All your nightmares and your memories
Wouldn't it be grand to never face the morning sun?
Don't you long to rest your weary head for good?
By the light of the crescent moon, I'll pray your soul will keep
So close your eyes, close your eyes
Darling, I've got you now, don't you cry
The pain only lingers if you fight
Hush now, my dear, you've nothing to fear
It's only the end come to take you to sleep
Wouldn't it be grand to never face the morning sun?
Don't you long to rest your weary head for good?
By the light of the crescent moon, I'll pray your soul will keep
So close your eyes, close your eyes
Close your eyes
