Thrash/power which you may enjoy:
Heathen - Breaking the Silence
Laaz Rockit - Know Your Enemy
Holy Terror - Mind Wars
Mysto Dysto - The Rules Have Been Disturbed
Fates Warning - The Sceptre Within

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

holy shit that chick in your sig is fucking hot, who is she?

vida guerra, she is incredible

Alright, so I have Nile's "Annihilation of the Wicked", where should I head next?

shrines and black seeds are both excellent albums

 

[Mort Divine]

Could anyone rec me some good thrashy power metal* type stuff, preferably with clean vocals?

*I doesn't actually need to be classified as "power", though.

It is more heavy/power than thrash/power but ...

Winter's Bane - Heart of a Killer

 

[skeptik]

Mysto Dysto - The Rules Have Been Disturbed

Excellent recommendation. Also check out Mandator - Initial Velocity.

 

[Hatebreeder]

Right, so, Abyssmal Nocturne's "From the Astral Abyss" - yea or nay?

 

[Son of Evil]

Can someone tell me which Enslaved albums are absolutely essential? I only want their best work, so if they have any average/uninteresting/bad albums, please exclude them. Or if they are a perfect band with each and every album being stellar, say so.

 

[byrne]

Vikingligr Veldi is their only essential album imo.

 

[Son of Evil]

No kidding? But they have a fairly big discography, I thought they were one of the elite BM bands...but then, I am only starting to get into Black Metal, so I don't know much.

 

[cookiecutter]

Why didn't anyone said something about Vomit The Soul? Fucking amazing grindcore.

I've heard good things about them but never tried them out.

The majority of elite acts have only one album that's considered the band's pinnacle achievement.

Everyone only talks about Vikingligr Veldi, but Isa, Below The Lights and Ruun are excellent also.

I agree with this statement. although I haven't heard Below The Lights yet.

Isa and Ruun bored me to death.

 

[skeptik]

I don't give a shit about what others consider "essential," just buy the Vikingligr Veldi/Hordanes Land 2CD and Frost to start.

I only got the Vikingligr Veldi CD

whoops

Hell Within - Asylum of a Human Predator

Awesome band, saw them rip it up in my town lol (Who comes to new port richey?!) lol anyways they simply own.

Not sure which genre they would fit in best, the lyrics are definately death metal, but it has soft vocals in the chorus ala metalcore, but they aren't really like any metalcore bands. The vocals are def death-ish also.

Anyone want to take a listen to them tell me what genre they best fit in Wiki says Metalcore, but lyrics and vocals don't really go with -core, and they don't really sound like any other -core band.

Shadows of Vanity, Hell Within's second album on Lifeforce records, will be released in May, 2007. << FUCK YES

Pretty much, but I would pass on Frost. It's actually quite odd. They try to get all technical and the grandeur of VV is lost in the process.

 

[Zhou Tai 04]

I actually like all of Enslaved's cds.

 

[Son of Evil]

Thanks for the recommendations, I am getting Vikingligr Veldi, Below the Lights and Ruun first.

 

[RevolutionIsMyName]

Hey i never got into thrash but it seems like a cool genre. So could anyone recommend their favorite thrash albums?

 

[Astrum]

Dark Angel-Time Does Not Heal

anyone could have seen that coming from me
