Crimson Glory were a pretty fantastic prog/power metal band from the 80s who sadly had two good albums, one bad album (or so I hear), and then they broke up. But that sophomore album, Transcendence, is on the short list for GOAT 80s power metal right up there with Warlord.
Virgin Steele on the other hand have about a million albums and after their first few hit-or-miss releases they got consistently amazing right around the beginning of the 90s. They do epic metal right alongside sick, heavy/power metal barnburners that never sound like yet another Helloween ripoff.
