I can recommend Gamma Ray, since they're the pretty much the only power metal band that I listen to.

As for speed, I'm having serious trouble pinpointing any modern speed metal albums, so I'll just point to the classics, Exciter, early Motorhead, and I'm sure you listened to it, but Painkiller by Priest is a great speed metal album.

Yeah...I pretty much have the best albums from all of these bands. The last priest album (Nostradamus) was so dissapointing...especially when you listen to Painkiller and know what those guys were once capable of.

Im and optimist and am still waiting for a superior follow ups to painkiller, Rust in peace, master of puppets and Raining Blood... :)

 

@ mrstickball

Checked out Temple of Blood. Cool band... I'll samlple a few tracks and see if they grow on me. The better news is that while i was looking for Temple of Blood I discovered that Kreator has a new album. This is good news...

 

 

I totally agree about Nostradamus. That album, along with A Matter of Life and Death by Maiden were big disappointments to me. As for Slayer, I loved South of Heaven, but it was no Raining Blood, that's for sure. A recording of a song from their upcoming album is on YouTube though, and it sounds really good. Probably not final album version though.
