GMD's Top Ten Albums of 1984
=9) Haunting the Chapel by Slayer
Death has come, the House of God has failed...

""Chemical Warfare" from the Haunting the Chapel EP is not only one of their best songs, but also one of the greatest thrash metal songs ever." - @Solipsist

"Whoever doesn't at least like Hell Awaits and Haunting the Chapel is gay." - @Manic Ferocity

"Haunting the Chapel is like the perfect mix of SNM and Hell Awaits." - @TechnicalBarbarity

=9) And the Cannons of Destruction Have Begun... by Warlord
Through fiction and lies we gaze at the skies, for flying saucers and men with three eyes...

"That's a no-brainer sir, definitely chase down And the Cannons of Destruction Have Begun... which is their debut full length. Absolute masterpiece in my opinion." - @CASSETTEISGOD

a full length of songs the quality of 'chemical warfare' would've been top 3 or so for me.

 

[no country for old wainds]

8) Hail to England by Manowar
I laugh as I die!

"The bass solos are still silly, but at least Black Arrows is his best bass solo. Otherwise, I see no flaw in Hail to England. Bridge of Death is how you do an epic correctly, actually building up and progressing, not a glorified up-beat Iron Maiden reject with fruity keyboard-driven bullshit overlaid like Veni, Vidi, Vici." - @HamburgerBoy

"Go listen to a Lord of the Rings audiobook or some shit if that's what you're into. I'll take Hail to England." - @HamburgerBoy

if it wasn't for redinthesky's last minute entry manowar would've missed out on the list by a point. on behalf of the entire board i'd like to thank him for letting us hold on to our balls.

edit: wait i just worked out that actually it would've still got 10th by half a point nm

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... not the whole board. I couldn't give any less of a shit about manowar. They're okay at best. Nothing they have even comes close to being mentioned in the same breath as Haunting the Chapel. But he does get a nod from me for having RtL in his top 3, where it belongs.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i mean obviously i only meant the male members of the board
