Some thoughts:

Alter Bridge's Fortress is an effective and solid song from their style. The riff of Armored Saint's Warzone is enough for a win! The Spirit Carries On has a beautiful solo and vibe, Kamelot's Wander is one of my favorite ballads (that chorus!)! Walk In The Shadows should be one of Queensryche's best songs, Myrath's Wide Shut has some very nice ideas (DT vibe). Power And The Glory (classic Saxon with its chorus and great riff, old school vibe) vs Warriors Of The World United (I have to say the tempo, riff, drums and powerful chorus are so good and classic) is a curious matchup, wow.
 
Many good songs in this round.

Voting:
Dan Swanö
Alter Bridge
Death
(Warzone is great and a reminder that I need to listen to more Armored Saint, but I'm going with the tune that I'm the most familiar with)
Kamelot
Myrath
(tough choice though)
Manowar
 
Well, well, well, how d'y'do, you old cunts? I disappear for a while and this game turns into utter travesty, doesn't it?

Swano might be the Todd Rundgren of Northern Death Metal, but it's still, you know... metal. Iggy with his usual take on Lou Reed with half the charm and twice the vodka just doesn't do it for me.

Zombie's dated but cool groove chug over Nickelback for housewives.

I like Death, but not the constipated extra "I'm smarter than you" Schuldiner of Perseverance, I'll throw @MrKnickerbocker a bone and go with Armored Saint (the album's really good)

My nomination, duh.

I wouldn't need to dislike Rÿche as much as I do to vote for the delectably Orientalist Myrath.

Manowar
are stupid and fun, Saxon are merely the former.
