Satan – Break Free - 7.5
What is there not to like here? NWOBHM at its finest.
Defeated Sanity – Arousal Through Punishment - 6.5
One of the weaker tracks form this beast of an album
Dying Fetus – Killing on Adrenaline - 4/10
rarely do shitty vox and lyrics stop me from enjoying good music, but i just cant stand this shit. Otherwise as mentioned, there's some solid riffage here.
Seventh Angel – Locked Up in Chains - 8.5
Awesome, how have i not heard of these guys before? Ima give it an extra .5 because this is the track i wanna see win ... which is not going to happen but whatever.
Blind Guardian – Banished from Sanctuary - 8
One of the best songs from the album.
Exodus – The Ballad of Leonard and Charles - 6.5
Average, generic ho-hum thrash metal. And i still cant stand Dukes
The Chasm – Storm of Revelations - 6
a little too disjointed, but still a good track. Going to downvote this from a 7 to a 6 because of the ridiculous amount of rabid Chasm fanbois we have here.
Burzum – Key to the Gate - 7
Not a fan of Vargs vox here, but the rest of the track is solid. Pretty much what i think of the album on the whole.
Dread Sovereign – We Wield the Spear of Longinus - 5
meh, much rather spend 11+ minutes listening to something else...
Iced Earth – Dante’s Inferno - 7.5
... like this. EPIC!
Thunder Rider – Electric Chair - 6
It was okay.
Slayer - Payback - 7
Being a little generous here
Starlight Ritual - Seal the Light - 7.5
Another nice surprise.
