I love the "dreaded" year-end lists because I only pop in and out irregularly so it's good to see everything encapsulated at the end of the year. Like already, I didn't know there was a new Skeletonwitch! It's good!

Really wishing "video game metal" was more of a thing because it tends to have a kick rear end mix of synths and guitar you don't really get anywhere else. Obviously the closest cousin is industrial and descendants but it doesn't really scratch that "thumping beat to murder lots of bad guys to" itch because they run off in a different direction with it.

I'd put Master Boot Record into this pile?

If I may self-promote across multiple threads: My band has a new song out, with the record coming June 21. We’ve worked our asses off on the album so it would be much appreciated if you gave it a listen and feedback if you’ve got any! Goons have been very good to Flesh of the Stars since the first release.

You guys probably know this album by now (wilderun - Veil of Imagination), but I just heard it and find it really great. Usually not a fan of long songs and proggy stuff, but these guys are sounding awesome - and every song has a few moments which make you stop and really listen. It has the adventurous charm of Turisas mixed with the grandiosity of Devin Townsend, a fair sprinke of Opeth and their own thing of course. Really great album, it's been a while since I've liked something straight away without having to 'digest' the music. Here's a cut:

this made me listen to Come Clarity and I Get Wet during a run, and those albums: they're good

also those Lovebites? they're good

also mentioning that Nechochwen PM stuff made me think to listen to that new Panopticon song, and it's also good. Panopticon is good.

ElvenStorm, speedy french power metal with a woman on vox, a bit darker in sound than the usual fanciful European power metal
Bloodbound's latest album is pretty much perfect power metal for me. Symphonic and catchy choruses, the best pm album to come out since Twilight Force's debut. Speaking of, check out Twilight Force for cheesy symphonic power perfection.
Sonata Arctica's first 4 albums range from speedy silly songs to slower darker material
Savage Circus is just pure Blind Guardian worship
Ancient Bards, fairly standard symphonic power performed extremely well with a woman vocalist. They occasionally employ very light harshes and melodic death passages so it could be a good way to dip your toe into that genre.
Dawnlight, shameless Sonata Arctica worship if you dig any of their material
Timeless Miracle, absolute peak power metal imo. Nonstandard lower vocals, songs aren't shred fests and instead try to tell goofy rear end stories about werewolves and the devil with a sort of bard's quality to them if that makes sense.

For doom, there's only one album that matters

What's some power metal in the right direction for killing devils in the outermost wastelands of Hell?

Here's what's on it so far:

Maybe oversimplifying (and not really PM), but have you considered the soundtrack for Doom (2016)?

This is sounding killer in my headphones right now. The main riff and pacing of the song are just giving me total Dio vibes and the solos are rippin, feeling Maiden-esque. I like the overall production as well. I kinda fell off Spirit Adrift for their previous album.
