HM for the likes of MYSTIFICATION, INRI and A CRYSTAL VISION for their high peaks. a full length version of EXPURSE OF SODOMY would challenge the list, but PERSECUTION MANIA ain't quite that IMO. protector's MISANTHROPY is another very fine/underrated EP.

HM: Voivod / Testament / Anthrax / Death Angel / Candlemass / Laaz Rockit
 
Armored Saint is pretty good, but I've never been a huge fan of them. I suspect that many people here feel the same way.
 
Looking at what people are ranking and thinking about doing a song survivor for an album or 2 from this year. I was thinking any of the following albums.

Dream Death - Journey into Mystery
Destruction - Release from Agony
Sodom - Persecution Mania
Holy Terror - Terror and Submission

I'll start the thread/poll if there is enough interest. Thoughts?

More of these sorts of threads on different topics the better I say.

To be fair, it takes me a couple hours to compile the data and produce the results for the band discography threads and those ones gets way fewer votes and have way fewer variables than this thread does. I'm sure No Country has a job and life outside of this forum and finishes these when he has the time.
