There were many albums and bands that changed my perspective and I also wasn't in this forum for more than a year. Iam still gettin into new music and try to find out music I haven't listened to. For me it's always interesting to listen to stuff that I never heard before.
some examples:
this album really helped me in a hard time and it was really something very different I've never listened to before. Very downtuned doom riffs combined with those depressing vocals. It spoke to me. Need to listen to it again soon!
that album turned my ear into a more extreme direction. Brutal riffs and aggressive vocals. It was a dude from school who got me into it. And I was like fuck I need to check out this band..
this was one of my first experiences with Thrash metal and I got addicted to this at a certain time. Chuck billy's vocals are still brilliant on that album and the guitar work is also amazing. Just a pity this line-up isn't existing anymore
Now I just realize how interesting it is that I got so much shivers down my spine. I listened to so much that it's just another album in my collection but once it WAS my favourite metal album.
Groove metal! Just another band I haven't listened to before It's some of the Soulfly predeccessors. It came out in 1995 I think. Very similar to Machine head but for me the sound is rawer. Got me more into groovy stuff.
One of my Thrash-faves. Could listen to it in infinity. Gives me chills everytime I put it in. The riffs sound so dark.
Once you listen to this you will be addicted I swear! One of the hardest stuff I heard. It's just Hardcore vocals combined with Death and Thrash metal riffs. (Jorge Rosado's Vocals aaarrhh!!)
Also similar to Machine head and Biohazard but better. It's a masterpiece.
Very underrated though. This was changing my perspective alot. How can a band of the Hardcore/metalcore writing such awesome riffs?
Very hard to get nowadays (The original)
