@no country for old wainds How long do we have? I'm still relistening to a lot of these albums but don't want to miss the cut-off.

 

[no country for old wainds]

a few days at least i reckon. i'll post a 48 hour warning before i close it.

 

[The Ozzman]

@no country for old wainds I put rankings to mine in case you need to redo it.

I also swapped out Possessed for Kreator

@TechnicalBarbarity Yes I am serious about Turbo

[Sword of Kalki]

Sodom -Obsessed By Cruelty
Dark Angel - Darkness Descends
King Diamond - Fatal Portrait
Destruction - Eternal Devastation
Kreator - Pleasure To Kill
Tankard - Zombie Attack
Crimson Glory - Crimson Glory
