Track Of The Day - The Guardians Edition

A beautifully executed ballad from this Florida-based power metal outfit.

A beautifully executed ballad from this Florida-based power metal outfit.

Another one of the best tracks in the album and a rare ballad that I truly enjoy!

Dark & brooding, Judas Priest-worshipping Swedish heavy metal.

Love love love this monster heavy metal anthem from Zakk Wylde-fronted Los Angeles Heavy Metal outfit Black Label Society.

A crunchy heavy metal beast from Virginia-based stoner/heavy metallers Alabama Thunderpussy.

Joe Terry = Fabio Lione

English heavy metal with a nostalgic feel & a classic Sabbath/Dio/Maiden gallop.

Late 80's heavy metal from Japan.

Filthy mid-80's heavy/speed metal from Devon, England.

I've started revisiting a couple albums from one of my personal power metal Big 4 bands, Kamelot, and this energetic title track from the mighty Fourth Legacy has left a strong mark in the band's legacy:

Some of the best power metal I still enjoy to this day. Highly recommended for fans of Sonata Arctica, Rhapsody (of Fire), and Pagan's Mind:

I've decided to revisit a few albums from one of the only two power metal bands I still want to keep in my memory, DragonForce (the other band being Kamelot), to complete my discography reviewing journey for this band. This highlight, only available in the Japanese special edition, really should've been in the standard album, with keyboardist Vadim Pruzhanov taking the spotlight:

10 years since I first listened to this glorious song, and it still screams epicness:

Maximum Overload is a mostly enjoyable DragonForce album with lots of enjoyable tracks such as hyperspeed thrash assault featuring Trivium's Matt Heafy:

And this vicious highlight in the deluxe edition's bonus section:

Really digging this catchy heavy metal/hard rock power ballad from third tier NWOBHM band Fist this morning.

A catchy little heavy rocker from this Irish NWOBHM power trio.

The epic climax of an amazing journey of my power metal nostalgia:

My progressive power metal memories still shine with this highlight:

Still reigning as a majestic power metal anthem for me:

A true anthem for power metal and The Guardians clan:

A perfect anthem of punky speedy heavy metal:

What the fuck.  This is insane.  It's like J-speed-power-hardcore punk with a bitchin' female singer.  I mean these chicks are good what what the unholy fuck.

EDIT: Never mind, this one's better.

An amazing live rendition of one of Kamelot's greatest classic hits that I still enjoy:

An epic single from the new Kamelot album The Awakening! I look forward to hearing the rest of the album once my schedule clears up.
