I'd like to thank you Slayer for giving me a lifetime of Albums to download and listen to in their entirety. Right now my iPod has 87 songs, because I keep deleting shit I don't like but listening to albums in full is something special especially if the entire album is sublime (Ensiferum - From Afar is getting quite a bit of rotation, as is Hatebreeder - Children of Bodom). I have a Scandinavian metal fetish of sorts. But I will download quite a bit of this and listen (do note that I'm not the biggest fan of incomprehensible guttural noises and too much over the top guitar wanking where the production is just godawful). But RTL - Metallica etc are all fine, and I've got good impressions from most of the bands on that list, so I'll get downloading. WIll report back with news in a month. (I spend at least 1.5 hours a day with an iPod jammed in my ears to school and until school starts so I can work through albums easily).

80's year-by-year sounds like a challenge, because the best stuff was all '84-'87. Soooo...

1980: Motörhead - Ace of Spades
1981: Iron Maiden - Killers
1982: The Plasmatics - Coup d'Etat
1983: Metallica - Kill 'Em All
1984: Metallica - Ride the Lightning
1985: S.O.D. - Speak English or Die
1986: Slayer - Reign in Blood
1987: Anthrax - Among the Living
1988: Exodus - Fabulous Disaster
1989: Sepultura - Beneath the Remains

'83 on should come as no surprise to any of you that it's all thrash metal. I almost picked DRI's Crossover for '87, just due to historical value, but it did nothing that S.O.D.'s Speak English or Die didn't already do better 2 years prior. '87 and '81 look like pretty weak years compared to everything else. Now, if I was doing an overall for the 80's, it'd be no surprises at all.

Spoiler

Top 10 overall for 80's metal:
Slayer - Reign in Blood
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Exodus - Fabulous Disaster
Slayer - South of Heaven
Metallica - Ride the Lightning
S.O.D. - Speak English or Die
Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast
Megadeth - Peace Sells...But Who's Buying?
Slayer - Hell Awaits
Anthrax - Among the Living

Also, I just picked up a 2-pack "Roadrunner Records: From the Vault" of Exhorder's Slaughter at the Vatican and The Law. Oh my fucking GOD...I'd heard that Pantera (via Phil Anselmo, who knew members of Exhorder in NOLA before moving to Texas) ripped them off...but oh damn...I think Slaughter at the Vatican might be giving Demolition Hammer's Tortured Existence a run for its money in the field of "most underrated thrash album."

[Big Papa Paegan]

No HonMen for Reign in Blood? Why does it seem that it's only been a recent (last couple of years) trend for people to not love that album?

 

[Gary]

I don't like to include artists more than once.

 

[Agent of Oblivion]

Kinda surprised I'm the only one that took Unquestionable Presence for 1991. Do you guys like Human more than Symbolic?

 

[Slayer]

Both are excellent albums and head-to-head I'd have a hard time picking one over the other.

As for my Top By Year list, Human is definitely the best out of my ten for 1991, whereas Symbolic shares 1995 with Draconian Times which is my favorite album, well, ever.

 

[Urban Warfare]

Fuck yeah.

At the Murat? I might go to that, though the two times I've seen Megadeth have been terrible.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

I saw them once and was bored to shit, but then got the Rude Awakening tape and wondered why they were so good then but not when I saw them.

 

[Slayer]

In continuation of the Jim Rome Bumper Music discussion, I just heard them use the middle section of "The Leper Affinity"

I saw them once and was bored to shit, but then got the Rude Awakening tape and wondered why they were so good then but not when I saw them.

Shadows of 9/11, obv. Dave was fuckin' inspired

 

[Gary]

The new Ihsahn album is awesome.

 

[Red Baron]

Virtual XI is becoming an one of my favourite Iron Maiden albums, probably third behind Number of the Beast and the self titled.

 

[The Metal Maniac]

So, I'm no longer the only person on the planet who enjoys that album?

Excellent.

So I heard Dream Evil's "Immortal" last night on MusicChoice Metal, killing time before I went to play Bad Company...

Yeah. So fucking redundant it hurts. Slay's post above me reminded me of it, because the entire song is practically "I am immortal / I am forever / I cannot die" with various synonyms here and there.

 

[NoCalMike]

A friend of a friend.....He played the wedding march song(or whatever it is called the song for when Bride gets walked down) on his guitar as a teenager at my friend's wedding but as you can see he has moved on to better things. He wrote this piece....

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

I believe it's called, and don't quote me on this in case I'm wrong, "Here Comes the Bride."

 

[NoCalMike]

I believe it's called, and don't quote me on this in case I'm wrong, "Here Comes the Bride."

Well common sense would say so, but it just seemed too easy, and I didn't feel like someone coming across the thread and saying how much an idiot I was for not knowing the proper name of the song.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

That's the name most know it as. I've also heard it called "Bridal March" and other variations on that theme.

Hrmmm..."Bridal March"...a doomy/thrashy cover of the wedding classic?

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

Get the new Fear Factory album. Get it. Get it, get it, fucking get it. So worth it if you like Fear Factory at all, or ever even remotely liked them. While it sucks that Dino and Burton reformed without telling Raymond or Christian, Hoglan is so much a better fit on the kit than Raymond ever was that it's ri-fucking-cockulous.

 

[Wario Lemieux]

In honor of Terrorizer naming Dopethrone the album of the decade:

Electric Wizard - Dopethrone

The re-intro is a consistent contender for "most crushingly heavy thing I've ever heard."

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

So I guess the last decade was the Decade of Doom, eh?

...so I'm really the only person left who just gets bored as all shit by most doom?

That's funny, because I'd honestly put Municipal Waste's Hazardous Mutation at the top, just because it really kicked off the whole thrash revival. It started prior to that album, but MW's quick rise in popularity thanks to that album is what pushed it forward even more, and is giving us a bit of a death revival right now.

I was never a huge fan of Overkill compared to other thrash bands, but I got their new album Ironbound, and it's awesome. I think it's probably the best thrash album by any of the older bands since the early 90s. Better than any of the recent stuff from Exodus, Testament, Megadeth, etc. Definitely my favorite Overkill album.

 

[The Coat Is My Father]

CAPITALIST CASUALTIES

Whoa, I didn't know this band still existed.

 

[Agent of Oblivion]

That last day is fucking great. Pestilence and Pentagram? Old school or no school.

Oh, and Rompeprop is tits.
I saw Circle of Dead Children at a different Deathfest; highlighted by the vocalist saying the following about the silly concession prices- "This next song is dedicated to $3.50 cans of PBR. What the fuck."

Keep and eye on Black Breath. Milky showed me those guys recently, and they're fuck awesome yes.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

Overkill...Better than any of the recent stuff from Exodus, Testament, Megadeth, etc.

YOU'RE A DIRTY FUCKING LIAR, JIMMY.

Played a show last night with two bands who I'm pretty sure are still both in high school, Xatatax (sludge/doom) and This Beast (melodic deathcore, along the same lines as Black Dahlia Murder, but with much weaker drumming). Decent enough shit, and the guys from Xatatax were cool shit. Mediocre live (vocals were way too high, bass wasn't loud enough, drumset kept falling apart, and live doom is just dull and boring), but cool guys nonetheless. Their 20-minute set felt like an hour, though.

This Beast was funny, because they kept asking for circle pits, and thus a few people debuted the moonwalk pit. Musically damned solid, and both guitarists have a good live presence, but everybody being 14/15 kinda shows when they look scared shitless on stage. At least they're not playing that awful technical deathcore shit that seems to be popular amongst the kiddies now, thanks to shitfests like Suicide Silence, where songwriting takes a ride in the trunk to showing off how many sweeps you can do within 5 seconds after a generic breakdown.

 

[Gary]

In case you didn't know, the new High on Fire is awesome.
