Century Child should win Ladder 15. Beautiful color scheme.

As for Ladder 16:

12 Helloween - Helloween +3
9 Judas Priest - Sad Wings of Destiny +1

8 Symphony X - The Divine Wings of Tragedy
4 Evergrey - The Dark Discovery
3 Axel Rudi Pell - The Crest +2

Helloween's first Reunion cover is just an instant classic - and the art style adds a lot. Sure, it looks like a mix of their first 3 albums, but it's epic, and that's enough. Not just the two figures, but the other details are cool.
The Crest is my second nomination, I'm a big fan of covers with warriors and knights is always classic. The main color is perfect, gatekeepers. I would like to see Eddie in knightly armor.
Sad Wings Of Destiny is not that good for me, but it's a noticeable cover for the band and the colors add.

The Dark Discovery is also noticeable, but it's scary lol. The Divine Wings could have been better.
