obituary- cause of death
entombed- left hand path
death- leprosy
carcass- symphonies of sickness
sepultura- arise
cro-mags- age of quarrel
deicide- legion
suffocation- breeding the spawn

each album has a specific reason but the bottom line is...that they all rock buttrock

It's nice to see some other people here are into the hardcore scene.
Unearth puts on one hell of a show. I've seen them a couple times and man do they get the adrenaline pumping. Dillinger Escape Plan puts on an intense set thems elves though. One time when I saw them they brought out this guy with a big torch and he started spitting these huge fireballs into the pit, I thought he was gonna burn the place down. It was a great production however, lots of lights that went with the very chaotic music.

Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys (pts. 1 & 2 - need to get both albums as a set - these are some of the most influential albums on the European metal scene. Classics in every sense of the word)

Manowar - Kings of Metal (not my favorite Manowar album - barely gets beaten out by "Triumph of Steel", but this is probably thier most "classic" in terms of style and substance. And it also features some of their best songs ever: Hail and Kill, Defender, Crown and the Ring, etc.)

Iron Maiden - Powerslave (tough choice here, as the band has so many great albums, but this one wins out for some memorable classics, i.e. Powerslave, Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, etc., and it's all around great production values)

Virgin Steele - The House of Atreus: Act 1 (First of a two part album set, this is an awesome blending of traditional heavy metal with operatic overtones. Great stuff, and the them of Greek mythology kicks ass too! wink )

Iron Savior - Iron Savior (first of their albums, and still the best. European power metal at its finest)

Iced Earth - Horror Show (great "concept album", where all the songs are based on the classic Hollywood creature features: Dracula, the Wolfman, the Mummy - they're all here. Combine that with the Iced Earth "style" and you've got a winner on your hands)

There's more of course, but these should be a good place to start for any true metal fan. buttrock

Yeah man, Unearth is incredible live... I just saw them a couple weeks ago with Evergreen Terrace and Every Time I Die, it rocked. And yeah, Dillinger did the fire spitting deal when I saw them. It was bad-ass, it was their singer spitting beer into a torch... I can't wait till April 14th, they are playing here with Norma Jean and Hopesfall, it's going to be sick. The best part is, two days before that Converge is playing with Darkest Hour and A Life Once Lost. That week is going to ROCK.

By the way, where are you from?

DAMN! I thougth I was going to be the first one to put down Iced Earth! But tis a testament to your tastes; I approve.

As for the first album, I jumped on board with Dark Saga another concept album. A little weaker than most, but it's damned good.

My take? Start off on Something Wicked This Way Comes. You will not be displeased, SamuraiShogun.

-Ahh which further prompts asking, Real Bout Maniac, would you know if their box set is worth the cash?

Wow, I've seen a few people pick Sound of White Noise by Anthrax.. I always thought "Among the Living" was their best, and was quite turned off when White Noise was released.

It was the album that made me want to play guitar... Especially the "Only solo."

You were turned off by this album? I wore this tape out, and Rust in piece.. I wore 1 tape out there too. got them on CD now though lol :)

I'm with you on this Dave. I think SOWN is one of the most well crafted heavy albums, ever. The whole thing is perfect from start to finish. Potters Field, Only, Room For One More, Packaged Rebelion, Hy Pro Glo,Invisible, 1,000 Point of Hate, Black Lodge, Sodium Penathol, Burst, This is not an exit. Every single track is great, not one single weak link.

lol wtf we must've been listening to two completely different albums.. imo, Among the Living is by far the best Anthrax album, with Persistence of Time following very closely

The riff in "Caught in a Mosh" is one of the best riffs.. ever
