As is tradition around these parts, list season is kicking off with Captain’s annual power metal (and power-related) roundup. We Have The Power returns for its 2021 installment!

Gotta say I’m enjoying the @KKsPriest album much more than the new @IronMaiden album. Where should I hand myself in? 🤷♂️ #JudasPriest #IronMaiden #MaidenOrPriest

For our 50th installment of our Devil’s Dozen series we had to do something special. Collectively one of our favorite bands, and one that was exceedingly difficult to narrow down to thirteen cuts.
A Devil’s Dozen - Manilla Road.

NEW: Italy’s Konquest has nailed a really great (authentic) NWOBHM sound on this. Both the songwriting and production scream influences like Jameson Raid, Tokyo Blade, early Maiden, Angel Witch etc. All delivered to perfection and ideal for vinyl. #NWOTHM konquestband.bandcamp.com/al…

NEW: From Miami... a fantastic debut from ‘Midnight Spell’ with classic 80s vibes... some Saxon, Priest, Ozzy, Sanctuary and Metal Church oozing forth. Excellent musicianship and great vox shine through. ‘Cemetery Queen’ makes my 2021 playlist. #NWOTHM midnightspell.bandcamp.com/a…

Eternal Champion’s ‘Ravening Iron’ was one of the true / trad metal highlights of 2020 for sure but I’ve also noticed it feature in lots of end-of-year lists from people who listen to a broad range of styles. This is especially impressive given its not on Spotify etc. #NWOTHM

This is a decent Top 10 of 2020 list: rushonrock.com/2020/12/28/ru… #NWOTHM #TrueMetal #TraditionalMetal #ClassicMetal

NEW: This a tasty new demo from Swedish duo Century. Lots of cool true metal influences bubbling out of this one including mid-80s Ozzy, Omen and perhaps a little Heavy Load. Looking forward to hearing more. #TrueMetal #NWOTHM centuryswe.bandcamp.com/albu…
NEW: 2021 is off to an exciting start for #NWOTHM fans with this one from LA’s Saber. Catchy hooks, high pitched vox and tight solos abound. The title track ‘Without Warning’ is the first track on my new True Heavy Metal - Best of 2021 playlist. saberheavymetal.bandcamp.com…

RECENT: Megaton Sword is another one I’ve sat on since it came out last month. Excellent album fusing lots of different true metal influences (Epic, Power, US, NWOBHM, Viking). ‘Wastrels’ makes the playlist. megatonsword.bandcamp.com/al…
NEW: Satan’s Fall from Finland squeeze in a late contender for the best-of lists. Final Day is a thoroughly enjoyable and excellently executed NWOTHM album. Difficult to chose one standout track but ‘They Come Alive’ makes the 2020 playlist. #TrueMetal satansfall.bandcamp.com/albu…
NEW: Hotly anticipated yet not quiet living up to the last 2 excellent Spirit Adrift albums ‘Enlightened by Eternity’ is still pretty sweet. Its doomy closer ‘Reunited in the Void’ is the best track. The shorter ‘Ride into the Light’ makes the playlist. listen.20buckspin.com/album/…

NEW: Crazy name aside... Neck Cemetery’s ‘Born in a Coffin’ is a really good true metal release. With Warrel Dane style vox and a guest appearance from Grave Digger’s Chris Boltendahl, this is well worth checking out. #NWOTHM neckcemetery.bandcamp.com/al…
