1.Orden Ogan – Final Days
Orden Ogan have been threatening to break out from the pack for years and in 2021, they finally delivered a power metal masterpiece. Final Days is eleven tracks of heavy metal joy that just seems to get better with every successive listen. It’s got more hooks than a warehouse filled with coat racks and every song could have been a single. Like Sabaton before them, they have the potential to become arena fillers and for pure escapist fun, Final Days can’t be beaten.
