I want to order two Deströyer 666 albums...

[Ellestin]

... which ones do I get? I know this has been discussed before but I wasn't really paying attention back then and I certainly won't waste my evening with the search function.

 

[Erik]

consider getting the "terror abraxas" ep, because while it's only 5 songs, it has some of their very best material ever.

otherwise, uh, "unchain the wolves" and "cold steel..."

or "unchain the wolves" and "phoenix rising"

bit of a toss up really

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Everyone is going to say Unchain the Wolves. It does rule. But make fucking sure you get Cold Steel For An Iron Age too. The riffs, my god, THE RIFFS.

 

[Ellestin]

yeah that's exactly what I'm expecting and craving for: riffs. Fucking thrash death riffing of death!

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

If you are craving riffs, really, look no further than Cold Steel...

And honestly, if you love that style, check out German retro black/thrashers Desaster. They fucking own too.

 

[Crimson Velvet]

If you want riffs, go with Cold Steel and Phoenix. If you want epicness, gi with Wolves and Phoenix. If you want both, go with Terror and Phoenix.

 

[Demilich]

I've been saying that my first D666 album would be "Phoenix Rising" for a couple of years now but never got it. "I am the Wargod" RUUUUUUUUULES like not much else!

 

[Erik]

if you want riffs, get a d666 record

 

[Ellestin]

If you want riffs, go with Cold Steel and Phoenix. If you want epicness, gi with Wolves and Phoenix. If you want both, go with Terror and Phoenix.

So basically what you're telling me is to get the four of them

That song absolutly rules!

 

[Hamock]

phoenix and cold steel

 

[Ellestin]

phoenix and cold steel

done, both quite cheap from the same shop on jewbay...

 

[Crimson Velvet]

Yes. That would be the wisest thing to do.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

I think Unchain... comes afterwards. It's way more complex & involved than their other stuff, at least it seems so to me. They all rule in different ways, but for mindless thrashing rifftastic fun, I think he chose the right 2 to get (to start of course).

 

[Ellestin]

woohoo... I had 15 Euros left resting on my priceminister account (for ages actually...), and lo and behold one seller offers "Unchain the Wolves" for 12 Euros + 2 Euros postage.

I am the winner.

Thank you all for kind advice

I exactly feel the same. "I am the Wargod" and "The Eternal Glory of War" are fucking killer tracks. So IMO, get Phoenix Rising and any other album first.

 

[Demilich]

I think we've pretty much determined that this band is at least consistently good enough that pretty much any album will do. Anything more is pretty much going to be up to Ellestin's ears!

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Honestly it really doesn't matter cause they're all fucking amazing and you will eventually be purchasing all three and a half. So just pick up Phoenix Rising and then the rest.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Hahahhahahahah, I have no clue, this entire weekend has been a massive blur. I was sober long enough to check the Nevermore board, see Matt's title, and make a well-informed decision to respond.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

I think we should both leave it as is. And when Footbalm inevitably changes his title upon seeing Matt's, he should leave it as well.
