Albums currently kicking your ass

Symbol of Salvation

Kinda like a less thrashy Show No Mercy, and great singer. Riffs aren't the best but I'm enjoying it more than usual right now.

EDIT: Oh and it's ranked the 666th best album from 1986 on RYM right now, that's coo'

Poison - Into The Abyss

Walls of darkness, will entomb you!

[Talos of Atmora]

Possibly one of the most underappreciated albums in metal history. Honestly, with tracks like Stricken by Fate, False Alarm, Take a Turn and Seducer, the opinion that this album is 70% filler is a load of crap to me.

I like you. Their entire discography is underrated. Great live band too.

Abigor Opus IV Possibly my favorite release by them.

Buuuuut this one's rully good too.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

March of the Saint definitely has some strong tunes. I tend to neglect most of their stuff aside from Symbol of Salvation because it's a little more plain-trad than USPM or speed metal-y, and doesn't quite have the swagger of a WASP either, but still good stuff. They were excellent when I saw them live with Metal Church.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

This man's discography in the '90's is woefully overlooked as well.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

These riffs are so far ahead of their time. Defines angular metal riffing.

 

[Baroque]

for magnum opus and nasty savage

VEEENGEEAAANCE, YOU HAVEN'T AAAAA CLUUUUEEE!!!!
VEEEENGEEAANCE, IT'S INSIDE OF YOOO-OO-OOUUU!


Alchemy's pretty badass too.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

YOU ARE THE FIRE AGAINST THE ICE! YOU ARE THE DAY AGAINST THE NIGHT!

 

[Master_Yoda77]

This is some Jesus loving amazing shit. It's like if the dudes in Pagan Altar just jerked off to Jethro Tull and Thin Lizzy.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

There is no post-80s power metal band greater than Light Bringer.
