The 10 greatest Power Metal Hymns

[xxxxsharpie]

I like how you avg ~1 min per song. It definitely allows me to get a better feel for songs vs 25 songs in 3 min videos, and good taste in music.

[ryukuroXD]

You really have a good taste^^ I like all those bands and songs :) Thanks!

[dealerbinq]

haha i listen to all those bands except blind guardian. that spot belongs to the masters of power metal, sonata arctica!

[karenrock22]

Oyeeeeee donde esta sonata artica.......

[ikkaku01]

where is FELICITA di Albano e Romina???FAIL TOP TEN...HIHIHIHI

[73737371]

for sure blind guardian aren't 7th and their best song isn't time stands still......

and my opinion is that you must delete avastasia to have dragonforce in their place....

[MrLujapocr]

@73737371 blind shouldnt be on ANY top 10 anyways avantacia is good. Dragonforce is speed metal starting there not power. They are kinda bad too (my opinion)

[tykkimykk14]

No dragonforce? FUCK YOU!

[MrLujapocr]

@tykkimykk14 lol poser dragonforce fan... thats speed metal not power

[DreadKyller]

@tykkimykk14 dragonforce isn't even good, I used to think so, but I then learned how basic the begginner "shredding" is, the stuff they play is just basic rifts played fast...

[MaxKPowers]

WHERE IS PRIMAL FEAR`S "FIGHTING THE DARKNESS" OR "RIDING THE EAGLE"???

[vonRichthofen7]

Time Stands Still (At The Iron Hill) Is probably the greatest power metal song of all time, in my opinion. And I listen to a lot of power metal.

[RADIOACTIVEBUNY]

Oh hey that's the dude from Edguy in Avantasia.

[ahudson099]

I like this list, I'm a huge Power Metal fanatic but I think there should be Wishmaster by Nightwish, and maybe some DragonForce... but I respect your opinion and I enjoy it. POWER METAL FTW \m/!!!!!

[Cthugni]

Best top-list I've seen so far! An to include Saint Daemonis unusual but very right! Not a one band that does not deserve to be on this list! Nice work!

[bboym3000]

rhapsody of fire - lord of the thunder o down of victory.. number 1

[bloodi01]

Thats a way to go for a first comment +1 like

[MrLujapocr]

[VaSiLiSTheKiLLeR2]

[PowerMetalRules100]

Rhapsody Of Fire - Dawn Of Victory, No Emerald Sword, #1 Dawn Of Victory.

[gio987654321]

[sdfdogjedi100]

[virginsteele13]

[PorterodePanama]

[illcontent1]

Great stuff! Check out ILL CONTENT, very heavy

[MrGejsha]

[RumikXxeno]

2.-Black Diamond

3.-Land Of the Free

4- emerald sword- rhapsody of fire

5.-Heeding the call

6.-keeper of the seven keys

7.- I want out

[TheDeckinator]

I like this list.

[infernusholyfire]

i think Freedom Call have the best Hymns of All time..... Hammer fall and Rhapsody of Fire are gud too no doubt........... but Y in the WORLD WUD HELLOWEEN's- I WANT OUT fall in Hymns??????????? its just a power chorus................. :)

[STEVEBURTON6]

I'M NOT AGREE WITH YOUT ORDER...AND WHERE'S MANOWAR???

[Elton2074]

BLIND GUARDIAN = HORRIBLE

[AldrinGoth666]

@Elton2074 Horrible tu puta madre!!! hahaha

[suprsonickath]

@Elton2074 You trolling=Horrible

[FabioSilvaMetal]

Great top 10! And each of this bands have other 20 or more damn good musics. Thumbs up! ^^

[Zombieace1337]

@madrilon666

i agree with your 1# option

[BarbarianStarcraft]

It's dumb enough for us metalheads to blame guys who listen other metal than we do, but, are you serious, power metalheads vs powermetalheads????

[baldorth666]

pour list!

There more amazing bands, some better and old great bands that was missed here

[astalabista619]

@baldorth666 lol... but this is Fandanimus top 10... not your top 10... this is his taste ... not your -.-

[agafi0]

[AZEROTH1482]

CAROLINA IV ANGRA!!!!!!!THE BEST SONG

[Tzadial]

Thanks for 10 awesome songs!!

[JordiDiezN]

Dragonforce isn't power metal it's speed metal

[takeo12361]

Dragonforce doesn't hold a candle against any of those bands. If you are going by Hymn's Blind Guardian's should have been Valhalla. <3 Time stands still though. Long live Fingolfin

[MustaMaagi]

Sonata my friend... its missing

[alonday04]

and sonata artica ?

[billylomito]

Hell Yeah, Avantasia FTW

[Czapla3991]

Tobias has the most pleasent voice.

[Metalistforlife]

No dark Moor and Kamelot ? No Sonata Arctica ?

[crusader84]

From Stratovarius it should be Black Diamond, and from Blind Guardian, probably Mirror Mirror.

[MarlonBrutalTV]

your choice-good joke

[acdccover1]

NO MANOWAR ??? Are you freaking kiddin' me ???

[POTIS1]

OK PEOPLE...NO SONATA...NO DRAGONFORCE....NO THIS...NO THAT....THE GUY UPLOADED HIS OPINION TOP 10...NOT OURS TOP MILLION!!!!

ANYBODY CAN DO A TOP 10 AND I CAN TELL HIM 100 AWESOME BANDS THAT HE DIDNT INCLUDE...:)

MERCY!

NICE TOP TEN MAN!!!!

[indecor4000]

@POTIS1 Dragonforce es la verguenza del power metal el peor grupo que se puede nombrar

[POTIS1]

@indecor4000

WELL..I LIKE DRAGONFORCE...A LOT!

[sootie2006]

@POTIS1 Atleast he put in Hammerfall!!

[RaiCarnage]

@POTIS1 Hell yeah! I totally agree to this

[DraculleMihawk]

@POTIS1 W/e mate, no god damnit Iced Earth. Pyramaze? wtf

[Head9Guitarman]

drangonforce is pokemon metal ... Helloween is fathers Power metal ... First powerl metal is Helloween

[MrHaski1]

where is Dragonforce D:?

[diegoxsfx]

falta dragonfroce- through the fire and flames

[thrashmetalz666]

@diegoxsfx fuck that

[zakary668]

hey what's up where is sonata arctica

[cr1stian321]

Let me say that You forgot to include Sonata Arctica with Fullmoon and Nightwish with Sacrament of wilderness. These are very greate bands.

Question: Is Gamma Ray power metal or heavy metal?

[TheMetalcrypt]

you should've included Sonata Arctica's Fullmoon instead of Saint Demon (whatever the hell that is) and Dragonforce's "fury Of The storm" (I know dragon force is mainstream but it's excellent power metal).

Then this list would have been almost perfect

[cr1stian321]

@TheMetalcrypt: The Dragonforce's hymn is "Throw the fire and flames" hehe ;)

[TheMetalcrypt]

@cr1stian321

Through the fire and flames is their most popular song, but Fury Of The Storm is twice as fast, has much cooler lyrics and the solos are as good if not better as the ones in Through The Fire And Flames.

[robinclarkful]

no dragonforce song?

[7117red]

Terrible. You should have noted that this is for 40+ year old. Never heard of most of these bands, and never seen them at Heavy Montreal either.

[Feanor128]

@7117red lol ur just 1 of the kids who thinks all old music sucks...

[evanescence9314]

awesome choices, I pretty much love the majority of the bands you mentioned.

[brunometalerobh]

hey people i leave you what i consider another power metal hymn 

watch?v=3ym7bY0mtlo&feature=re­lated if you prefer a live version type Rata Blanca - La leyenda del hada y el mago, it is an Argentinean band.

I really recommend watching this song

[DioK1994]

Where's the Keeper Of The Seven Keys?????

[JuneStory]

For Avantasia, it must have been The Seven Angels, and yeah Sonata is really missing! But good vid' ;)

[1980the4everbackHD]

para mi los unicos que se disputarian son Helloween, Stratovarius y Rhapsody

[chaperXD]

Gamma Ray!!

kai hansen god of power metal

[MrSpacerooster]

You cant have fucking 50 bands in a top 10, stop saying "Where's (Band name here)"

this is his opinion, make your own top 10 if you're dissapointed

[Laiho53]

here there is band i've never been heard before, and when I see the video there is nothing about Sonata WTF you could put Wolf And Raven, and I think I want out should be in number 1

[thetubebrain1]

STRATO!

[AcuariusLP]

I don't like blind guardian.. Sonata Arctica must be in that place.. And Edguy have better songs than Vain Glory Opera..

[frunorock]

where is Angra and Sonata Arctica?

[PraEdoAniMarium]

nice songs dude ! great choice ... Vain glory opera its a top 3 i guess , and i think its better Holy Thunder Force from Rapsody than Emerald sword ... and the top 2 ... AWESOME !!!! , avantasia fk rocks ! Tobbias hellfire Sammet its one of the greatest voices , and Rebellion in dreamland its one of my favs songs ! , i guess more from helloween but helloween got over 10 power metal hymns xD ... chek the video that i leave in the video response , its a video that i made of the 50 best singers cya

[TheSonsofHorusx]

great choices man, not agreeing with no1 tho

[darumcquin]

n1 avantasia?????? no no no gamma ray is n1

[MonkyPanky]

@darumcquin

LoL Avantasia = guest vocalist this song  M. Kiske ----> old Helloween

GammaRay = Kai Hansen ---> old Helloween

= old Helloween !!! :-D

[heroespiker]

wheres altaria crucifix??

[twistedkarm]

hammerfallshould be in 3 place not rhapsody of fire (sounds kida lame its way to epic to be apic they were fine as rhapsody

)

[cf51802]

Check out a band called Divinefire...

[TheFininhobaixo]

Avantasia is the best and deserve to be in first, but should be at least helloween second.

[AriochStarr]

I know 8 of the 10, Saint Deamon sounds FANTASTIC! Avantasia on the other hand... meh, it's ok, I guess, It'd probably be like a lullaby to me, you know, put me to sleep lol

[BASEBRAT22]

wheres Domine , Highland Glory and sonata arctica??

[AriochStarr]

@BASEBRAT22 Hold on! Another human that enjoy Domine?! IS THAT POSSIBLE?!?!?

[BASEBRAT22]

@AriochStarr yeah dude people need to get with the program lol \m/ >_< \m/

[AriochStarr]

@BASEBRAT22 Yea, you can say that again, metal on, brother

[osoriofilho]

You make a list like this without any songs from Angra?

It must be a freaking joke!

[daevven]

What!!......Is this only for germans? Shitty list.

[novakinjo72]

good call on the Freedom call-Wariors

[D0dgeThat1]

Hadn't heard of almost any of the songs on the list, but the suddenly Avantasia showed up. Good to see that my favorite band gets the recognition they deserve.

[GrEyPrEiSt]

Very nice list man

[Imperius96]

Guys, guys... its HIS list. Its HIS taste, so dont flame/blame/kill him already just because he has a bit different taste of music...

How can we beat popfags if we fight eachother cause of tiny different TASTE? :o

[bobjenkinsdude]

power metal is hit or miss. When it's good it can really give you the chills. When it doesn't work, it sounds like a church choir with cheesy guitars. Some of these songs on your list dont work.

[GiannisKJ19]

Where is ANGRA????? I prefer them and not avantasia !!!

[Fan2me]

Hammerfall sucks donkey ass and did a cover ( I want out ) year 2000 while Helloween made it 1988. Or maybe you heard Gamma ray playing it ? Well Kai hansen who wrote the song was in Helloween and then moved on to Gamma ray.

[BASEBRAT22]

@Fan2me sonata arctica did a cover of (i want out) as well dude and hammerfall is amazing

[TheCopper1234]

I don't see Dark Moor on here! :'(

[dostacado]

number 8 is incorrect, its not by helloween

[alevd14]

@dostacado WTF?? how can you say this :/ very well list, really power metal hymns, i should put Holy war, by Dragonland and someone by Angra and Sonata Arctica but is your taste

[XnetmanX]

@dostacado it is, hammerfall made just a cover..

[MrcliffburtonMTG]

What about Warrior of the World United, Black Diamond and Valhalla?

[vitorassan]

no angra .-.

[tinkibink]

you can crearly see that you re a fan of the old helloween(kiske) right??:D

[EightPlagues]

Rhapsody of Fire- A new saga begins

[KevinPatrickCarey]

I love the Saint Deamon album cover. That would look good on 12' Vinyl

[averoc2012]

If you're talking hymns you're talking Manowar.. I mean there's a lot of awesome power metal bands, but Manowar's the one that makes the hymns.. I actually think you took that word from them. I agree with gusrom100.. whimps and posers.. leave the hall!

[trashmetal12]

and, valley of the kings of gamma ray?

[gusrom100]

Where is Manowar?Die for Metal motherfuckers

[doomood]

A power metal chorus withou double bass drum isnt a real chorus >: (

[SSBBechimetal]

1) Stratovarius - Black Diamond

[djrock777]

probably about half of those songs don't belong there man, ur missing so many better anthems and how does Avantasia get 1st? ur telling me that it's better than "I want out"? or even "Emerald Sword?" dang bro u messed up. what about "heavy metal is the law"by Helloween? "We are the fire" by Trivium?"Never Surrender"by Divinefire? Oh and Sonata Arctica sucks!!!!!

[eNzO48qc]

stratovarius!! <3 thumbs up if saw them live!

[nikosmatt]

power metal = heloween  ............... gods

[KzarGames]

No Sonata Arctica?? That's BS. If there's a video about the 10 best power metal choruses, they should all be Sonata Arctica.

[Jaos291]

@KzarGames I dont see Sonata arctica at the same level of Gamma ray helloween or stratovarius they are good but those are gods.... But you all r right sonata arctica MUST be in this video

[storkie1]

@KzarGames well it should'nt be, i totally agree with avantasia bein on top, its like the best power metal ever. seconded by Sonata arctica, and i somehow miss Nightwish, but well i dunno if its powermetal or not, so please correct me if i'm mistaken

[CitTo0]

stormwarrior - heading northe?

[Davix120]

Kids, kids, NEVA FORGET, HELLOWEEN IS THE FUCKING FATHER AND KING OF POWER METAL, any problem?

[AngryFlagman]

@Davix120 - Amen to that!

[NewKingston160]

@Davix120 what of Ronnie James Dio

[temytch]

@Davix120 Helloween? No. Kai - yes!

[Davix120]

@temytch Kai is the fucking father, but dont miss Weiki, who wrote epic songs like How Many Tears, March of Time, Eagle Fly Free, and other hymns

[Feanor128]

@Davix120 along with blind guardian, dont forget about them

[Angwulf]

@Davix120 Besides the point that Helloween is speed metal? None at all.

[piekraft]

u 4got df lol

[acrisiocam]

Hell, you can make a ten best Power Metal songs composed only of Blind Guardian. Actually, Metal in general, let alone this single style. But choices on the list are nice, actually, I just miss "And Then There Was Silence", "Legion" and any entry from Angra. Besides that, it's a good list.

[HammerFall1996]

No guys u didn't get it. True power metal are the fucking Double bassed melodies like stratovarius, angra, sonata arctica. Now, Angra - Carry on (or even temple of hate) is THE 1ST. Sonata arctica is 2nd and stratovarius is third with black diamond. Blind guardian is 4th, hammerfall 5th, rhapsody 6th. Then.. halloween, scorpions,dragonforce and so on.. SONATA ARCTICA ARE THE TRUE KEEPER OF THE POWER METAL TODAY, NEVER FORGOT

[sailorpsycho]

@HammerFall1996 IMO Sonata Arctica lost it after the Silence LP

[HammerFall1996]

@sailorpsycho Muahahahah! Go, listen winterheart's guild.. gogo ;)

[sailorpsycho]

@HammerFall1996 me no likey..... to much of the same stuff

[HammerFall1996]

@sailorpsycho If u like that stuff.. u'll like it forever.. and "Unia" is much different than the others if you want

[TheGoldenPS1]

@HammerFall1996 The only thing that is wrong with Sonata Arctica is that they haven't come out with a new album yet.

[storkie1]

@TheGoldenPS1 they're workin on it:D

[storkie1]

theyre working on it, no worrys my friend

[Davix120]

@HammerFall1996

Helloween is true power metal....

[nikosmatt]

@Davix120

+1

[NiggeliNG]

@HammerFall1996 phhh... what do you need sonata arctica for when you have BLIND GUARDIAN? these guys are the UNDISPUTABLE KINGS of power metal. never forget that.

[HammerFall1996]

@NiggeliNG they are not the real power metal.. as halloween for exemple

[NiggeliNG]

@HammerFall1996 well, okay, they've changed a lot throughout their career, but really, just few other bands have influenced the genre as much as they did

[DimLantern]

Gay metal fan, Kamelot should've been first.

[Fatb0ybadb0y]

You missed out Battle Hymn by the gods of power metal, ManowaR

[KingOfForest22]

Errr needs more Lost Horizon. Also, LOL@ Dragonforce.

[ChainGuN2]

No video on youtube can hold all the greatest Metal songs ever because there are too many! You'd need a 50 part video series with each video lasting 20 minutes just to get a fraction of the best songs.

[fuuck66]

Greats songs!♥; Power Metal, oh yeah!

[HimuraDarklink]

Dragonforce Trough the fire and flames.

[Jaos291]

@HimuraDarklink You mean Nintendoforce? they are " Hyperextremespeed power metal " they dont deserve a place in this video

[Andres5045]

@HimuraDarklink It's a Ballade...

[HimuraDarklink]

@Andres5045 lol, Ballade? master of guitar you say? lol

[mysteryrocker123]

Lost Horizon - Highlander (the one),

hands down one of the greatest power metal songs ever made

[Pridery27]

Falta White Pearls Black Oceans !!!!!! y Mejor King of a 1000 years de Helloween !!!!

[000trashcanhero000]

dude... dragonforce owns all

[FireGrism]

@000trashcanhero000 <~~~~~ HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Fatb0ybadb0y]

@000trashcanhero000 lol are you taking the piss or just 8 years old?

[angel95bg]

so we found that your a big Avantasia fan :d

[celuiquipuequipete]

You forgot dragonforce

[6Night6Emperor6]

I like this video, especially coz you give avantasia the number 1, and they´re number one :)

[TheOnlyHero91]

I really love avantasia-avantasia song :)

[martinmillo]
