A little list series where I list my top 20 favorite metal albums every year starting from the year I was born in.

2020 was something, obviously a lot of horrible shit that happened, but at least there was some great metal that carried me throughout that bleak year, especially in Black metal and Gothic metal witch was fitting.

This is the last list of this series, since I already made a list of my favorite albums of 2021 last year. It was fun doing this journey and going through old memories and revisiting classics, thanks for reading and sharing your favorites and lists, metal for life 🤘🎸.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And I'm not broke yet.

1.Psychonaut - Unfold The God Man

2.Elder - Omens

3.Regarde Les Hommes Tomber - Ascension

4.Pure Reason Revolution - Eupnea

This is a list of all the power metal albums I have listened to that are worth remembering. Like my other genre lists, this is not meant to be a definitive guide to power metal or a binding judgment on what power metal is or is not. The list exists purely for my own organizational purposes and may contain bands or albums that are not strictly True Knights of the Eternal Thundersword.

The first cluster includes my favorite albums in the genre (and a significant number of my all-time favorites); beyond that, they are listed by rating from 9/10 down to 6/10 and alphabetically within each bracket.

Last updated November 27, 2021.

1.Blind Guardian - Nightfall In Middle-Earth

2.Blind Guardian - Imaginations From The Other Side

3.Blind Guardian - Somewhere Far Beyond

4.Jag Panzer - Thane To The Throne

5.X Japan - Art Of Life
