Helm
Maybe on Luna
Arise seemed so cold and mechanical and scary when I first listened to it in the fifth grade or so. I remember seeing the video for the same-titled track a while later and I thought the post-apocalyptic thing was very well done. The broken english totally worked on that album too. "Religious Intervention - Problems Remain". I can't tell if it it's nostalgia or if that album actually has that atmosphere for other people too, but even when I listen to it now it totally blows me away.
Also, one album I can't listen to without air-drumming or headbanging is Helloween's 'Walls of Jericho'. I seriously don't care for any of their other albums (although Keeper 1 is ok) but this one is just all killer. It was the first metal record I bought myself, and to this day every time I play it I just go nuts. Many years later I realized that half of these lyrics are potentially hilariously bad, but only if you look at them with the eyes of a cynical adult. Back in fifth grade this stuff was dead serious and I prefer to stick with that mentality as far as this record goes.
avi, pm me if you want me to upload anything on it. Maybe Coroner? Masked Jackal is the best thrash song ever.
