Traditional Metal

[Ross]

Preferably Crystal Logic-esque.

 

[Seditious]

dunno who that is, but my fav would be Sinner

 

[Doomguy]

Lost Horizon
Action! <- They all look like Klaus Nomi.
Livesay
Motorhead

 

[supseudonymous]

Get Ironsword - Overlords Of Chaos and Stygian Shore - The Shore Will Arise now.

 

[SentinelSlain]

I've decided to list nwobhm bands as well as ones from other countries.
Crystal Viper
Heavy Load*
Angel Witch
Hollow Ground
Cirith Ungol*
Chastain* - Mystery of Illusion
Budgie
Tysondog
Desolation Angels
Liege Lord - Freedoms Rise + Burn to my touch* (their last album is the best, but the two prior to that fit the rec better).

* fits rec best, not necessarily best.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Oz - Fire in the Brain

 

[Vilden]

Dark Quarterer.

 

[JGMetalhead]

Saxon

edit @ JAGEagent: Chastain is garbage and Budgie is so so.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Adramelch's Irae Melanox. Best epic/power album ever.

EDIT: And Legend's From the Fjords. Epic Viking metal from 1979.

 

[mutantllama]

This is kinda obvious, but Satan's album Court in Act is pretty fucking sweet.

 

[Rumpole]

Get Ironsword - Overlords Of Chaos and Stygian Shore - The Shore Will Arise now.

I honestly don't think that Stygian Shore album is all that great. There are a few good songs, but it has too much of a commercial vibe to it.

 

[SentinelSlain]

Saxon

edit @ JAGEagent: Chastain is garbage and Budgie is so so.

I don't care about your opinions on metal then. Budgie is absolutely immense, but not on every album. In for the Kill is though.

Chastain? their new stuff may well be garbage but Mystery of Illusion is great.

I suspect you have bad taste, or have only heard later, lesser Budgie and the same with Chastain (I agree that Bullet from a gun is fucking shit).

 

[J.]

Pagan Altar
Slough Feg

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Battleroar
Metalucifer (NWOBHM-esque but from Japan)
Pagan Altar (seconded, PHENOMENAL fucking band)
Portrait
Dark Quarterer/Etrusgrave
Tokyo Blade (NWOBHM)
Cirith Ungol

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Fuck me for getting the German version of Heavy Metal Bulldozer

 

[no country for old wainds]

omen 'battle cry'

 

[Janga666]

Holy Martyr

 

[mutantllama]

How about picking up some more Manilla Road also?


Open the Gates is also excellent.

 

[Doomguy]

Second.

The Japanese version is so good.
