BWBK's Top 30 Metal Blade Releases

Here would be my top 10:
Arch / Matheos-Sympathetic Resonance
Brainstorm-Soul Temptation
Fates Warning-No Exit
Fates Warning-Parallels
Helstar-Nosferatu
King Diamond-The Puppet Master
Omen-Battle Cry
Riot-Inishmore
Trouble-Psalm 9
Trouble-The Skull

I would have put the Pentagram on there as they are one of my fav bands but unfortunately, while a good album, it certainly is not their best.
 
Here's my 10 in no particular order. I own these (and many more from the label) but these 10 have gotten the most plays from what I have purchased.


1. Hallows Eve - Death And Insanity
2. Fates Warning - No Exit
3. DRI – Four Of A Kind
4. Armored Saint – Symbol of Salvation
5. Tourniquet – Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance
6. Mercyful Fate – In The Shadows
7. Grip Inc. - Power Of Inner Strength
8. Lizzy Borden – Deal With The Devil
9. Brainstorm – Soul Temptation
10. Gwar – Scumdogs of the Universe
 
Man I would not know what to do with this, Metal Blade put out such great stuff in the 80s. I'll give it a shot.
And the whole Metal Massacre series was awesome just to bad a lot of those bands never did full lengths.
 
hard to say but if i can pick 5 metal blade releases that changed my life it would include...

(in no order)

SLAYER - HELL AWAITS
CANNIBAL CORPSE - EATEN BACK TO LIFE
KING DIAMOND - SPIDERS LULLABYE
DARK FUNERAL - SECRETS OF THE BLACK ARTS
LIZZY BORDEN - VISUAL LIES


Also notable mention's....

AMON AMARTH - ONCE SENT TO THE GOLDEN HALL
ANCIENT - MAD GRANDOISE BLOODFIENDS
MERCYFUL FATE - IN THE SHADOWS

and the more recent albums from....

CHARRED WALLS OF THE DAMNED
 
This talk makes me realize that I really need to get some LIZZY BORDEN.
One of MANY MANY bands where I have liked everything I have heard but for whatever reason never picked anything up yet by.
