I know they're obscure, but they're fully deserving of a place there just because of Rage and Fire.

Likely the best pure PM album of '15.

I just googled the pic for the occasion. And you're right, that band is obscure. Even for power metal. Like, you're the first I've heard mention them.

They're from Norway, where power metal doesn't have much of a presence in the first place.
Though, if GoT is any indication of what they can do for the genre, I kinda wish it did.
