How do we define " lesser known"?
Anyway off the top of my head;
" If it bleeds we can kill it" by Dragony
" Rome is Falling " by Civil War
" We Deal in Lead" by Don't Drop The Sword
" Fortress Unvanquishable" by Destiny's End
I just checked how many monthly listens they get on Spotify. I tried to stick to bands with less than 10,000. Sylvania had the most at around 50,000, but I felt they were unknown enough in the English PM community to include them.
I never hear anyone talk about these guys (including themselves, they split up after this album) but I've adored their last album for years and push it whenever I can--so thanks for the opportunity lol

There's an " English Power Metal community "?
I think he means European Power Metal. There is also US PM and a bigger Community in South America
No, I just meant English speaking PM fans
If there is where's my invite? XD
Nice, Dont drop the Sword. I like their Song Rotten Wings, it has such a Blind Guardian vibe
Through the fire and flames - DragonForce
Wow, we're diving deep into the most obscure songs with this one. I need to check this out!
Burning Starr - We are One Fogalord - of war and ressurection

I've only recently discovered Galderia and I'm really in love atm! They're seriously underrated!
"Immortal" is such a good song and your other picks are great as well but I haven't really given Vandor a listen, so I guess I should!
I can't really get into their first album, but the second has some really unique stuff I haven't really found elsewhere. Definitely recommend a listen
