Good 'ol Heavy Metal?

[Krow]

I listened to a few Manilla Road albums recently... then Mercyful Fate... then King Diamond himself... and I realized I dont know much about plain old Heavy Metal (and dont take 'plain old' the wrong way because I really enjoy it)

anyone want to throw the classics my way?

I'm going to throw in the Angel Witch s/t, and you should be good for now.

 

[The Ozzman]

FYP.

If only that was true, but since Raising Fear is 100x better than SoS, yer wrong.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Adramelch - Irae Melanox (like Guardian-era Fates Warning, but faster, darker, and more progressive)
Helstar - Remnants of War (rifftastic traditional/speed/power)
Sacred Blade - Of the Sun + Moon (imagine Priest going more laid-back and psychedelic after Stained Class, but retaining the speed)
Savatage - The Hall of the Mountain King (you may already know them, but just in case...)
The Lord Weird Slough Feg - Down Among the Deadmen (new band, but still great metal)

Slauter Xstroyes - Free the Beast

Seconded; it's Powerslave-era Maiden, but better. Only they can make a song titled "Wicked Bitch" the most epic song of 80's metal.
