Hey, I loved the Megaton Sword track! I think I ought to give their catalogue some attention this month.

Funny enough, I'm not the biggest Megaton Sword fan but they seem to always find their way onto the playlist since my knowledge of modern (or classic for that matter), straight up Heavy Metal is kind of limited. I'm finding I like their EP the best out of anything they've done so far, but I'm probably in the minority as they seem to be well-liked. 

Thanks for all your picks, gives the playlist some new life with the addition of all these more exotic Heavy Metal tracks. 

I started listening to this playlist while playing with my one year old daughter last night. The Eternal Champion song is a great way to kick off the list. I fucking love the Anthem track. It's one of my most played heavy metal songs this year. I'm very familiar with the Yngwie J. Malmsteen's Rising Force & Blind Guardian inclusions & quite like both of them too.
