If we're talking about bands with pound for pound great album releases then we can't forget about Dark Angel.

 

[Caecius]

@jimmy101 should probably get started on next genre, since the qualifying part seems to take the longest. Thrash should be pretty quick now.

I'm guilty of neglecting Dark Angel TBH.

I was thinking about that, but probably wont start anything up until this comp is finished.

A few ideas on the next battle...

Death Metal
Black Metal
Old-school metal (featuring bands which were well-established pre-1983).

How about traditional/heavy metal?

this needs to be changed asap

Start from their first which is a gutshot of straightforward thrash and watch/hear them grow with each album. Truly one of the greats.

​

I guess that's what I meant by old-school metal. But I guess it shouldn't be limited to pre-1983 bands.

Don't do it!
Make 'em beg for it Jimmy.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... yeah right, Jimmy's a slut.

And remember, a shiny new donkey for whoever brings me the head of Colonel Montoya!

Your dad is a slut ;-)

Life is not complete without a shiny ass.

is that what Mrs Jimmy told you?

 

[jimmy101]

is that what Mrs Jimmy told you?

Nah, it's what your long, lost brothers & sisters who migrated to Australia told me.

Ugly motherfuckers, mind you.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

.... or is that what they told Mrs Jimmy?

 

[jimmy101]

.... or is that what they told Mrs Jimmy?

Dunno. But it sounds to me that your implying that both you & your old man like to throw one into Mrs Jimmy.

Bit incestuous innit?

I should've been more clear, I meant post-Darkness Descends. The first two I've liked for quite some time, but for whatever reason I haven't ventured much and often beyond that.

 

[Phylactery]

I assumed we would just be doing every major sub genre for this. Then perhaps you could have a bonus round where the top 8 or so from each sub genre go into a draw.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Though the Rinehart albums have grown on me a lot, We Have Arrived is still pretty amateur and crappy to me. I can't imagine the kind of brain damage it would take to rate it over any of the first four Exodus albums.
