    I always liked Crimson Glory's second album Transcendence better than the self titled, Red Sharks is fucking jaw dropping.

    1. Vicious Rumors - Digital Dictator
    2. Mannila Road - Crystal Logic
    3. Chastain - Ruler of the Wastland
    4. Omen - Warning of Danger
    5. Helstar - Burning Star
    6. Meliah Rage - Kill to Survive
    7. Riot - Thundersteel
    8. Savatage - Hall of the Mountain King

    Good list. At the moment my top 10 looks something like:
    1. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son - Iron Maiden
    2. Death or Glory - Heavy Load
    3. Stronger Than Heaven - Stormwitch
    4. Warning of Danger - Omen
    5. Death or Glory - Running Wild
    6. Follow the Blind - Blind Guardian
    7. Keeper of the Seven Keys, Pt. I
    8. Open the Gates - Manilla Road
    9. Ruler of the Wasteland - Chastain
    10. Deliver Us - Warlord
    Some of these are borderline PM, but I think there's enough PM elements to justify a spot on the list. Also if you haven't checked out the new Attic album yet you need to. It's a must listen for fans of King Diamond and Mercyful Fate.

    Great picks, 80's power metal or USPM is so different from the European style. They would have more different names. :D I like all of these. Would perhaps have thrown in Warlord or early Manowar if they are power enough. :) Queensryche - The Warning too.

    A friend had tix to FireHouse/Quiet Riot/Ratt/Cinderella (in 2000, i think) and asked me to go. I wasn't a FireHouse fan, but let me tell ya, those guys were pros. The playing was excellent and CJ sang his ass off. RIP

    Bryce, wanted to hear if you had any thoughts on the very small sub genre, "technical thrash". In particular the albums from 1989 to 1991 (seems like the technical thrash after 1991 is way different and off the mark) .... Bands like Coroner, Forbidden, Watchtower, Stone, etc.... was wondering if you can recommend some ultra obscurities from that time that I may not know.... Thanks

    7th of Never is still my favorite Chastain album. I actually listened to Ruler of the Wasteland, Voice of the Cult, and 7th of Never back to back to back three days ago and 7th just crushes! Leather was at her peak on that album! The Warning by Queensryche has to be up there! Keeper of the Seven Keys: Part 1 is another all-time fav of mine. Hail To England is probably my favorite Manowar album but, Battle Hymns, Sign of the Hammer and, Into Glory Ride are close on my ranking. If we're considering Savatage as Power Metal I'm taking Hall of the Mountain King as my #1 by a long shot!
