Recommendations (II)?

[sixxswine]

Hey, wondering if you "rivetheads" could help me out?
I have been rebuilding my collection of oldschool thrash bands.
#1) I have lost track of Overkill since their W.F.O. disc. Since then what are some discs that you would recommend I pick up(to catch up on the band)?
Here's another question:
#2) I noticed that the first couple In Flames discs have been reissued recently. I just got introduced to the band over the last year or so. Are these worth the dough? I think they have also issued import versions with bonus tracks of Whoracle & Clayman?
What about this?
#3) Anyone heard of Seven Witches? What do you think?

Thanks to all that helped the last time.

I've heard of Seven Witches with Jack Frost from Savatage and Metalium. I actually have met Jack Frost...but I have oddly not heard any of his new bands material! I hear they kick ass though...now I must go and get one of their albums!

Clayman and Whoracle from In Flames are great albums. Get them!

For Overkill definetly check out "From The Underground and Below", "Necroshine", "Bloodletting", and the most recent live album "Wrecking Everything Live".

Don't know too much about In Flames.

Seven Witches are a great band. They have a new one coming out on April 9 called "Passage To The Otherside". I have heard some stuff from it already and it is great. "Dance With The Dead" is a great song. They also do a cover of Def Leppard's "Wasted" on the new album. I would start with that album or their 2002 release "Xiled To Infinity And One". Very good stuff.

I have to pick up the Seven Witches disc. Picked up the Necroshine & Killing Kind from Overkill. I have a friend that owns a record store. He tried to order stuff from their Atlantic days & his ditributor told him they have been deleted?! I think Spitfire will reissue them like they did with Twisted Sister?! Thanks for the info

Both Overkill - Bloodletting and Necroshine are superb, and very much in the Overkill vein, only with a modern edge to them (i.e. they're even more aggressive than their late '80s/early-'90s stuff). If you're a fan of Overkill, these won't disappoint you. If you're not, these won't make you one.

#2) I noticed that the first couple In Flames discs have been reissued recently. I just got introduced to the band over the last year or so. Are these worth the dough? I think they have also issued import versions with bonus tracks of Whoracle & Clayman? What about this?

First off, asking for In Flames recommendations on the Old School Forum isn't going to get you much help. With that said, BOTH Lunar Strain/Subterranean and The Jester Race are the ONLY TWO ESSENTIAL In Flames' albums to own and considerably better than either Whoracle and (especially) Clayman.

#3) Anyone heard of Seven Witches? What do you think?

Don't know much about them and have never heard them.

Afetr listenin' to Overkill for the last couple weeks, I have to change my vote for most underrrated Thrash band. It's Overkill. They have kept crankin' out records & touring, since I lost track of what was goin' on with the band. That's THE HARDERST WORKING BAND IN METAL!
Next on My list:
WFO
KILLBOX 13
I also managed to check out their website.
How about that DVD?!
I was looking at the disc, but I usually pick up the DVD if there's a choice between cd or DVD.
