New, and need suggestions

[NightCrawler]

Hey headbangers! I'm new to this site, and I was interested in checking some of Anthrax's and Slayers music out. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what album from each band I should buy first.

Oh, and by the way, my current cd catolog is full of Megadeth, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Iced Earth, and varius heavy metal/punk cds. Just to let you know about my music tastes.

Rock hard and rock heavy!!!

Welcome, NightCrawler! What a nice, easy post to finish off the night. Your Slayer collection must consist of at least these albums: Hell Awaits, Reign In Blood, South Of Heaven, Seasons In The Abyss, Divine Intervention, God Hates Us All. Anthrax's whole catalog up through Sound Of White Noise is great. Every album has some great shit on it. I know this is kinda vague but these two bands are classic. Good luck!

 

[Immortality]

From Slayer get:

Show No Mercy
Reign in Blood
South Of Heaven
Seasons In The Abyss
Decade of Aggression(live album)

Anthrax suck.

 

[lurch70]

From SLAYER - REIGN IN BLOOD
From ANTHRAX - AMONG THE LIVING

These are essential records in anyone's collection ... after that try the others.

Slayer: Reign in Blood and Seasons in the Abyss

Anthrax: Persistence of Time and Sound of White Noise

 

[plfffffft]

If you've never listened to these bands before, I suggest that you pick up Slayer's Decade of Agression, which is the closest thing to a best of album they have, and Anthrax's Return of the Killer A's, which IS a Best of album.

No one mentioned "Haunting the Chapel?I would'nt get "God hates us all".Very mid paced and tamer than their earlier stuff.

 

[Parasite]

If you like Slayer, try checking out the band The Haunted.

 

[Soul_Schizm]

I really like God Hates Us All, but if you want to get into Slayer, just buy Reign in Blood.

You'll pick up the rest on your own after that

Anthrax--I guess I'd start with Among the Living, just because everyone says that's their best. I always liked Spreading the Disease and Persistence of Time better, but everyone says I'm crazy for thinking that, heh.

 

[DEEK]

for Anthrax:
Among the Living
State of Euphoria
Persistence of Time

 

[genocide roach]

REIGN IN BLOOD!!!!!!!

that is the essential metal album. if you dont have it, your a poser hahaha
~gR~

 

[no country for old wainds]

Reign in Blood and Among the Living are both overated, in my opinion. But bah, get them anyway. Also, try out Testament and Exodus. They're two of the best thrash bands not to get any mainstream recognition. I agree that you should also try The Haunted.

Then try Opeth, although they have no similarities with any of the mentioned bands.

Slayer suck! Well, Araya does, but that's good enough for me.

 

[JonnyD]

Slayer-Divine Intervention
Anthrax-Sound of white noise

Both very cool albums But please let me suggest you pick up some MANOWAR great band Into the glory ride awsome album
