*SHRRRRRREEEEEEEDDD*

I hope you got your answer, g_k

oh yeah, i did see that scrolling through. thanks for the reply, that's a shame because that first album ruled.

I know. Oh well, the followup was going to be beastily as well.

Hanker - Ad Patres (Homo Homini Lupus)

This fucking kicks ass.

Judas Priest- Sinner

Rage - Time and Place

Yep, Perfect Man kills.

A Forest Of Stars - The Corpse Of Rebirth

"Shades of Emerald Fields" - Katatonia

Manowar - Gods of War

The Fall Of Every Season - Amends

Sulphur Aeon - Swallowed By The Ocean's Tide

NP: Devourment [Conceived in Sewage, 2013] - 1. Legalize Homicide (00:32/04:11) {256 kbp/s}

Dead Orchestra - Global Lobotomy

Benighted - Nemesis. So catchy that you can dance with it.

Agressor - Towards Beyond

Obituary: Darkest Day

Conception - In Your Multitude

Roy Khan's early work with Conception is fantastic. I probably prefer Parallel Minds by just a hair, but the more progressive direction shown here was great in its own right.

Resurrection - Embalmed Existence

In Your Multitude is great. I don't like the debut much but I'm sure it will grow on me sometime - haven't heard the other two albums.

Iron Maiden - The Final Frontier

Suffocation - Sullen Days
This album is growing on me especially this song.

Carcass - Embryonic Necropsy and Devourment

Winterthrall - Nightmares for the Sleepless

Sonata Arctica – Ain't Your Fairytale

Tony is the king of emotional lyrics and vocals

Yeah, the debut isn't very good imo, but Parallel Minds is their masterpiece. It's a full display of delectable, hooky riffs and memorable songwriting. The guitarwork is truly mesmerizing, as is Khan's smooth performance. Definitely check it out when you can.

Flow, on the other hand, is hit or miss. It's half excellent and half meh.

In Your Multitude is my favourite Conception album - it's really cool, catchy and song-driven progressive metal. ''Guilt'' is kind of a mweh song and the second half definitely does more to me than the first half, but it's still cool. The other albums all have their moments but aren't too consistent.

NP: Virgin Steele - Childslayer

No idea what happend in 4 years but how David went from singing like this to the whispery mode of the latest record is beyond me.

Love this album so much!

Cryptopsy - Whisper Supremacy

Metal Church - Gods of Second Chance

Suffocation – Cycles Of Suffering

Rage - In the Darkest Hour

This is so fucking good. I guess for speed metal it was just Walls of Jericho I couldn't get into much, because this absolutely murders everything in sight. WTTOS might still inch it out, but this is just so cool and pulp-sounding. Great riffs.

Darkthrone - The Cult Is Alive

If you like that, you should also check out Scanner's Hypertrace, which is one of my favorite albums ever and the best speed metal there is as far as I'm concerned (P.S.: that's also where my title came from )

Brooklyn White - XVIII

It's nice supporting a local friend's debut rap mixtape. This one is rather nice for a first outing, featuring some Kendrick Lamar-style poise.

Oh I heard that album years ago, just don't have it on my current computer. It's great. Prototypical power metal - sorta the basis for the 90s sound all in one album, even moreso than the Keepers albums really.

Yeah, it sort of treads the line between power and speed metal. Honestly I think it tops the Keepers albums for that style, and the 80s cheesiness of the concept and sound effects is just too delicious not to love. LIKE A HAWK IN THE SKY!!

Think I need to listen to that now...

Suffocation - Pinnacle Of Bedlam - Purgitorial Punishment

Oh fuck yes. On my first official listen. This song a lone is just like holy shit. Definitely some new ideas blended in but its for the better. I cant wait to hear the rest of the album, lol.

Coffins - Mortuary in Darkness (Full album)

Forgot all about these guys but stumbled across the cd while looking through my collection. Heavy, crushing Celtic Frost/Autopsy worship currently pummeling my skull.

Iced Earth - My Own Savior (live)

I love the clean guitar interlude. Smedley's hands are shaking spasmodically off the symbols, barely keeping himself together until the distortion kicks in again.
