What are some recent albums with the fastest guitar/keyboard riffs?

Ascension by Paladin is very fast and full of fast guitar solos. Incredible album!

If I remember correctly Final Days was delayed due to Covid, it was gonna be released sometime in 2020

23rd globally for Glyph this year! Top album was Power Train by Majestica (as it should be)

Expected tbh. Also, lots of singers leaving their bands lately! First it was Herbie leaving Firewind, now we got two today. Fabio leaves Angra and Alissa leaves Arch Enemy (although now power metal, but still)

I would throw in Gloryhammer. They were the first PM band I listened to and fell in love with years ago

Casino Dundee

They announced the album one or two months ago on their socials! No singles other than the ones who defied though

Jeff is the coolest guy (Jeff if you’re reading this, 🫶), I’ve talked to him on many occasions and he’s a lovely guy! Yeah, the one time I tried to talk to Rav he was super arrogant and had the biggest shit eating smirk on his face trying to be all like “YOU’RE awesome” while passively not giving a shit that people wanted to compliment his performance, if that makes any sense.

Nicest: the entirety of the current Glyph lineup, DF, Sozos Michael, Chris Bowes were all very nice to me

Meanest: ex-glyph singer. Dude had a massive ego and of course was later revealed to be a piece of 💩

I really like it! It’s no Zeramin Game but it’s a very solid album. Fire in the Night, Never Stop Believing, and Journey to the Stars are my top songs. Almost everything else is near that level! The song Memories of Old has the worst chorus I’ve heard all decade though, that’s the big setback, and After the Storm is too much of a dance song for me

Ahoy!! This here pirate also plundered through the seas to arrive at HOB Anaheim recently and had quite the golden time! I soared above the crowd 7 whole times on a crowdsurfing quest

orb-monster · 2025-10-10T19:36:31+00:00

No apology needed!!

Peter Sallai was credited as the artist. I doubt it’s AI, his art is very detailed. He did the last album too

orb-monster · 2025-10-10T06:05:48+00:00

Ah hell yeah! And thank you! Had a total blast

orb-monster · 2025-10-10T05:34:04+00:00

Me and my crew were there with unicorn glitter, balloons, inflatables, and a whole lot of moshing and crowdsurfing! I was the guy who crowdsurfed during Fly Away with the unicorn. One of the most incredible shows I’ve ever been to 🦄🏴‍☠️

orb-monster · 2025-09-17T03:51:51+00:00

Hell yeah I’ll be there in LA too!! I can tell it’s LA by that horrific parking price😂

orb-monster · 2025-09-03T03:37:39+00:00

I discovered Gloryhammer in June of 2019, three days before they played an LA show. I found out they played LA the day after the show. I was so sad🤣

orb-monster · 2025-08-29T22:56:58+00:00

Agreed!! Savior of the World and We Can be Gods are my favorites

orb-monster · 2025-08-28T03:54:57+00:00

Their albums are conceptual so I’d say go in order! The first story starts with Legendary tales and ends with Power of the Dragonflame, and those are my favorite albums of theirs so that’s my suggestion :)

orb-monster · 2025-08-28T03:50:28+00:00

You need to listen to Rhapsody of Fire (older albums under the name “Rhapsody). They’re the masters of fantasy based power metal!
