In terms of sheer influence, an argument can be made that power metal wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for Ronnie James Dio. During his stint with Rainbow and, to a greater extent, in his solo band, Dio set the blueprints for what would become power metal, with powerful, soaring vocals, and big, melodic riffs. Although as early as the late 70s, bands had begun to play a similar style of heavy metal (a term that didn’t even really exist at the time) to that of Rainbow, it was the mid-80s when power metal began to blossom, particularly in Europe. Bands like Accept and Helloween took sonic cues from Dio, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest, and created music that was arena-ready, without giving up that heavy edge metal fans demand. Trends come and go in metal, but power metal has stayed pretty consistent, as can be heard on Black Eyed Children, the latest release from Swedish power metal outfit Astral Doors.

Nils Patrik Johansson (Astral Doors, Lion's Share, Civil War) with his very first solo album called "Evil deluxe". Often compared to Dio, the singer composed 12 epic anthems for "Evil deluxe" back to the roots of true heavy metal. The ideas for the songs on the new album were created over a period of more than ten years.

"Testament Of Rock - The Best Of Astral Doors" culls tracks from all five full length releases and various E.P.s and elsewhere and serves as an extraordinary introduc-tion to a band that's already an integral part of melodic heavy metal history - and they've only just begun. Mighty riffing, majestic vocals and supreme solos are the order of the day on 'Testament of Rock - The Best of Astral Doors,' a greatest hits collection that hits harder than most.

Great CD! Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Mountain, Grand Funk Railroad, Dio, etc. Their sound was allegedly born through their song "Of the Son and the Father", about the clergy sex abuse scandal in the United States. Haglund, who had begun the project as the bassist, soon switched to guitar, and Mika Itäranta was hired to play bass. All six members were now in place. Of the Son and the Father was released in 2003, and shot to No. 5 in Rock Hard, a well known German metal magazine.

"Notes From The Shadows", the phenomenal seventh offering from ASTRAL DOORS, picks up right where "Jerusalem" left off. The music is melodically powerful and has no weak moments anywhere on this 11-track release, solidifying the fact that bands like DIO, RAINBOW, DEEP PURPLE, JUDAS PRIEST, and BLACK SABBATH have heavily influenced their souls over the years. All of these influences shine through on 'The Last Temptation of Christ', a really catchy, up-tempo song that will be extremely pleasing to JUDAS PRIEST fans everywhere and there couldn't have been a better selection to start this album off on the right foot.

Jerusalem shows the Swedish Classic Hard Rock/Power Metal favorites at their best, both in songcraft and in production, bringing in Daniel Bergstrand (In Flames, Meshuggah) for the mixing. Jerusalem is by far the most ambitious album from Astral Doors and the concept of the lyrics is darker, more political and more provocative than ever before.

"New Revelation" is the fourth album by Swedish heavy metal band Astral Doors, originally released in 2007. Astral Doors play bombastic heavy metal that has its roots in the 70s and 80s, integrating riffs, melodies and lyrics that make direct reference to iconic acts of the genre such as Rainbow, Dio, and Scorpions. This album takes on a more Power Metal influence and contains even some prog elements. Fans start to become critical of where Astral Doors is going.
