[one man]

I'll give you ten bands with my fav albums from them, cause if it had to be 10 essential albums, the list would include only like 4 bands.
1.Testament: "The Legacy", "The Gathering", "The New Order", "Practice What You Preach"
2.Anthrax: "Fistful Of Metal", "Among The Living"
3.Metallica: first four
4.Slayer: "Raining Blood", "Hell Awaits", "Seasons In The Abyss"
5.Megadeth: "Killing Is My Business...", "R.I.P."
6.Exodus- first three
7.Forbidden: "Forbidden Evil"
8.Death Angel: "The Ultraviolence"
9.Heathen: "Breaking The Silence"
10.Kreator:"Extreme Aggression", "Pleasure To Kill", "Violent Revolution", "Coma Of Souls"

 

[dutchy]

make DA all albums!!what about twisted to form by Forbidden??

 

[Stormwatch]

"For Whose Advantage" by Xentrix is better than half those albums (they were a UK band and they fuckin rocked!).
Sacred Reichs "The American Way" is also better than some of them.

 

[snickers]

My top 10 would be:

slayer-reign in blood
Metallica-master of puppets
exodus-bonded by blood
death angel-the ultra violence
violence-eternal nightmare
testament-the legacy
anthrax-among the living
megadeth-peace sells
overkill-years of decay
kreator-coma of souls

 

[dutchy]

"For Whose Advantage" by Xentrix is better than half those albums (they were a UK band and they fuckin rocked!).
Sacred Reichs "The American Way" is also better than some of them.

What I can remember about X, is that they sucked big time, wannabe Metallica's. What about those other crappy UK bands, Acid Reign and Slammer!!
Youre right about SR, killer album!!

 

[Keith Would]

I had a copy of a Xentix album on tape, I always quite liked it, dunno what album it was though.
Sepultura: Schitzophrenia was on the other side.
Ah reminisences!!

Who the fuck were Slammer? never heard of 'em

 

[dutchy]

Slammer also wannabe's , but better then Xentrix,pretty popular in the UK, have the album somewhere, it has 4 guys wearing suits and ties and some black masks, forgot the title!

 

[VitalMarcus]

I guess they fucking skipped the German Gods. But Possessed being on that list is great. They should be higher though.

Nice to see you remember Xentrix even if you didn't like them! Yeah, they were Metallica wannabes but their For Whose Advantage album was really excellent - very much in the style of And Justice For All which is no bad thing!!! Download Questions or Black Embrace if you can for a taste of great old-skool thrash!

 

[wullief]

what about sabbat - history of a time to come

 

[Stormwatch]

what about sabbat - history of a time to come

I never heard Sabbat but I liked Martin Walkyiers Skyclad debut album.

 

[wullief]

The first two sabbat albums rule. Production isnt great but i think its up there with the best.

 

[dutchy]

got both Sabbat albums on vinyl, CLASSIXXXX!!!!!

 

[wullief]

IMO if sabbat were an american band they would have been huge

 

[VitalMarcus]

Sabbat were awesome. Too bad Dreamweavers goes for over $30 on ebay. I don't get why Noise has reprinted History Of A Time To Come, and Mourning Has Broken, but not Dreamweavers.

I saw this list about 10 years ago in Guitar World. It was on a Heavy Metal Special Edition. It had interviews with Metallica, Pantera, Sepultura, Clash of the Titans (Slayer, Megadeth, and ANTHRAX). I still have that issue!
