How is later day Isole? I kind of lost interest in them over the years but their style is usually right up my alley so maybe I should revisit?

 

[CiG]

For me this is still their masterpiece.

Do you consider Crionics to be a thrash metal song? I don't know how someone can listen to it, Transylvania, and Spiral Dream and not hear that they all have much more in common with each other than they do with, say, anything Exodus put on their first four albums. Or again, Orphan Gypsy and When Angels Die.

And obviously I'm not saying you haven't heard Iron Maiden, but listening to the general progression of USPM in the early/mid 80s makes it easier to hear the similarities. You hated Omen in one of the song rating threads, right? You'd probably also say I'm crazy to say that Omen and early Slayer had a shit ton in common, even though riff-wise it's obviously the case. Coroner's RIP is built largely on the ideas that define USPM.

Goddamn your autism. Thrash doesn't have to sound like Exodus to be thrash. RIP is early tech-thrash with a large neo-classical influence. The neo-classical aspect is probably the similarity you're hearing with power metal. This does not make the album a power metal album.

Never heard of this until just now, archival release of 1986 demo recordings. This sounds better than Refuge Denied in a way, rawer but lacking the shitty reverb of the album.

My copy arrives in the mail today!

what's this sound like?

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

what's this sound like?

Epic doom metal with secondary elements of heavy metal and gothic death doom.

[CiG]

gothic death doom.

Somewhat. I'd also add progressive metal elements.

 

[Baroque]

Love Artillery lately. Not sure what started this

 

[Talos of Atmora]

I've been listening to these (again) tonight. Expect both of these two be on my respective year lists when @no country for old wainds does his top 10 for 1997 and 2004.
