Best new Power Metal Album of 2016....and the winner is?????

-
So we were going to go down a list of top ten. Then it stretched to top twenty. So many good releases this year in not only power metal but also hard rock and classic metal as well. Both known and unkown bands.
We do a lot of promoting for Frontiers Records and Beyond. They released some killer bands this year, Nordic Union, Inglorious, Primal Fear...among others....so many others....

Hammerfall released an awesome album this year as well.

Amon Amarth...Saxon....Lords Of Black

Metallica....They just wrote the follow up to "Master Of Puppets". fantastic double album
.megadeth....Mustaine never stops writing killer riffs
Sabaton...continuing to carry the flag of metal to the future


But....

On sliptrick records......veonity is the hands down winner for best power metal release:
                                                              Into The Void

Hands down just a fantastic album. From Song one to the end this album does not disappoint. People ask what bands will take the helm when bands like IRON MAIDEN, SAVATAGE,SAXON, finally call it a day and retire. Well, VEONITY is one of those bands. Superior musicianship, Superior songwriting. This band is just beginning to discover it's own strengths. Looking forward to more great power metal from them.

CONGRATS TO VEONITY.....BEST POWER METAL ALBUM OF 2016

But each band member is a great song-writer, we are going to play other member’s songs as well in the near future. 3) What are the rehearsals like. Do you have set jam times When we start rehearsing for a tour/show, we first decide how much time we want to/can put into each song and concentrate on bettering the performance one by one. And we play from top to the bottom of our set list for a several times. 4) What makes the perf

Arch / Matheos reveals details for new album, 'Winter Ethereal'; launches video for first single, "Straight and Narrow" In progressive metal circles, the names of guitarist Jim Matheos and vocalist John Arch are spoken with due reverence. With the former having been a driving force in Fates Warning for thirty-five years, and the latter the original front-man of that band, they also have a single seminal work under the Arch / Matheos banner, 2011's Sympathetic Resonance . In 2019, they have reunited to follow that record up with Winter Ethereal , a more stylistically varied and perhaps deeper collection that explores a lot of sonic territory over the course of nine immer
