Traditional Metal

[CiG]

So what else do I need from Manowar? I know a lot of their newer releases are less than great...

I've got Hail to England on the way, Sign of the Hammer and Battle Hymns. Pussies need not respond.

Into Glory Ride and The Triumph Of Steel.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Fighting the World is fine, but Kings of Metal is pretty cool. I've never really bothered with much after Sign of the Hammer though. Fucking Into Glory Ride is beastly.

LEATHER! METAL! SPIKES! AND CHAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINS!

 

[CiG]

Hail To England is my favourite of theirs.

More people need to recognise the power of The Triumph of Steel though.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

As much as my mythology nerd boner grows I can't get into that song.

 

[CiG]

Drink more beers and try again.

New Helstar is sounding pretty fucking great:

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Not available And I was really curious.

I haven't bothered with the last 2 albums, but sounds like the same ol 'revamped' heavy metal that gets released. Most of these albums seem to have 1 or 2 tracks that aren't terrible anyways

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Doesn't sound anything like what I've heard of their other new stuff. No chuggy modern power/thrash, just lots of neoclassical 80s-style shredding stuff. But yeah, we'll have to see how the rest of the album goes.

 

[no country for old wainds]

sounds promising! vid doesn't work for me either though.

 

[CiG]

Genuinely surprised by how decent and loyal to the original this is.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Yeah, wow, that is surprisingly good.

I sometimes feel lame when I still haven't bothered to listen to a Thin Lizzy album

Which Queensryche albums are worth it?

Which Queensryche albums are worth it?

The first 3

Personally I'd say The Warning and Operation Mindcrime. Their music lacks a bit of balls for me but I still like those.

This is the opinion I had for a long time until I gave Rage for Order another chance maybe 6-8 months ago. Goddamn what a monolith of a record.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Operation Mindcrime is totally fucking goofball cheesy and downright amazing at the same time.

 

[Atomic Tide]

They had some decent stuff after, but have never matched The Warning!
