10 Greatest Power Metal Albums Of All Time

10. Winterheart's Guild - Sonata Arctica

Sonata Arctica lit up the power metal scene in the early 2000s. Winterheart’s Guild was the best work they produced during that time. And in terms of vocal melodies, it ranks right up there with the best of the best.

Featuring a sound more complex than their previous works, the album opens with the rather oddly named Abandoned, Pleased, Brainwashed, Exploited. Its bone chilling melody takes listeners right into the heart of the album’s icy world. In terms of the music itself, there isn’t anything too crazy or unorthodox, but with lyrics and melodies as good as these, it’s more than enough.

With that being said, fans are treated to a few sensational guitar solos throughout the course of the album.

Best songs on the album include Abandoned, The Cage, and Victoria’s Secret.
