>>129050228I enjoy listening to "Bomber" (preferably the live cut from No Sleep 'till Hammersmith) whilst I smoke down a fatty.
>>129050230Great jam, forgot how fucking cool that short solo Darrell does right before the end. This song's really good too, sounds like Priest gone thrash.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wxAMi3DV60

>>129050228RuTracker should also be included in the "USEFUL LINKS" section. Or is it so well known that it isn't needed?
>>129050351>RuTracker should also be included in the "USEFUL LINKS" section. Yeah I'll put it in the next OP.>Or is it so well known that it isn't needed?I just forgot it existed. Otherwise I would've put it in sooner lol
OP is being awesome for a change. Something cool is in the air

>>129050021I was wondering too. But the thing is the season takes place 4 years before the album came out.>>129050316Great album
What's you favorite track on here? For me it's Breaking the Silence
>>129053606Spreading the disease. Geoff tate sounds superhuman on that one
>>129051456Thanks for keeping this up, mods
>>129052104Could just be them wanting something that fits the time frame of the series desu>Great albumIf you ask me it's probably their best one. Perfect mix of heavy/thrash.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7qs40KJBMMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZWZanJhai4>>129053606Suite Sister Mary, but I always listen to it as part of the full album.
>>129050231Vio-lence - Eternal Nightmare
Witsucker is a really cool instrumental that should've made it onto Frost and Fire, and the rest of the tape's fun too. Also noteworthy for having an early version of Atom Smasher sans vocals.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eJVL3tksE0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Y_87EeL1Q8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ct4ZjnSyGQo

KINO. I wish Death of the Sun was on here and not Black Machine (which is handled a little haphazardly imo), but the rest of this was fucking stellar. These guys just don't miss.https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgtvGkabBTggp4W-WrytPcVOTeiLDTegM
Best album I've heard from BG so far, every song's awesumhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhjoQB-7QYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78WZhTRJ1WIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dX3NXxTBXWchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-roJi6wR_9Q

Am I a poser if Crystal Logic is my favorite metal album?
>>129058705no that's a based album for trve metal fans
>>129058705Nah. That's a great choice honestly, mine's a tie between In Rock and Stained Class
>>129058705manilla road is poser (and women) repellant, so no
>>129058999>manilla road is poser (and women) repellant, so noWhat sort of band aren't posers but also don't repel women?
>>129059184Scorpions
>>129050298Motorhead was never good can people stop pretending now? Lemmy has been dead awhile
>>129059204I like pretty much everything by them.
>>129059204What do you mean never good? Do you really think they had no good songs?
>>129055070Atom Smasher is an awesome song. I love the part at the end of the bridge where they come back into the lead riff and do it faster and faster a few times before breaking back into the chorus.

>>129059465Ace of Spades is their only good song
>>129062018Pffft filtered
>>129062018I don't listen to much Motorhead but I like this song a lothttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3gSmYaDlVY
>>129062130Inferno is a really good album.
>>129062018They are a singles band, but Overkill and the "You Better Swim" song from the Spongebob Movie are good too
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqlaPtkPqgg
>>129063040For me it's Tyger Bayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beuH6hypqZg&pp=ygUJdHlnZXIgYmF5

>>129062018
>>129050298Holy shit, this was fucking awesome. Sounds almost like a different band with Dio, but in a great way. Hearing those keyboards on "Die Young" was like getting struck by lightning. Just great.
>>129064412Neon Knights is one of my favorite Sabbath songs
>>129064412I fucking love this album. In my opinion its Black Sabbath's masterpiece, every song is killer, Iommi and Geezer just kept getting better with age and they were fucking shredding on this one.>>129064421All time great opener
>>129050231And so we've come to the absolute best year of the 80s. The number of absolute masterpieces that year is amazing. Some essentials already made it in, but here's a few more:Crimson Glory - TranscendenceScreamer - Target: EarthSanctuary - Refuge DeniedBlind Guardian - Battalions of FearAngel Dust - To Dust You Will DecayVicious Rumors - Digital DictatorHelstar - A Distant ThunderChastain - The Voice of the CultRage - Perfect ManFlotsam & Jetsam - No Place For Disgrace
>>129056717Next one is even better!
Hot take: Holy Diver is pretty inconsistent. The title track and Don't Talk To Strangers are legit 10/10 bangers, but the rest of the album ranges from great to kinda mid.
>>129067392>And so we've come to the absolute best year of the 80s.Hell yeah. Just added the 3 votes and a few 2 votes.
>>129067392>Chastain - The Voice of the CultI'll add a vote for this
https://youtu.be/JJjydoG5M9E?si=z6qACFneip5lm5ks
>>129068790I thought that was like hard rock only
>>129059204Anything after Lemmy is ass
>>129067435I would say rainbow in the dark is a 10/10.
Would ram it down fit on the list or is it too inconsistent?
What if Jon Oliva actually joined Black Sabbath?>>129068902I'd also add "Straight Through The Heart"
>>129068908Personally I wouldn't vote for it, I find it very inconsistent. I like the first four tracks on it and then the album falls off after that imo. I honestly like Turbo better
>>129067435If you ask me Holy Diver tides me through side a and then it becomes a somewhat backloaded album. Thay being said i think its excellent
>>129067435every track is killer imo
>>129067435>hot takeAlright, you know what? I was going to hate on you, but looking back I think this is indeed true. There’s no bad songs on holy diver. Only a few really stand out, though. Rainbow in the Dark is 10/10, though.
>>129072491So it was beaten after all?
>>129050298blanastering
>>129068829Nah, Motley Crue’s first album has a fair amount of metal. Mick Mars’ solo on Take Me to the Top is fucking cool.https://youtu.be/o63abXYbEd8?si=Uadz9a0mBy_DKLI-https://youtu.be/hfRnVT2eXHI?si=NbPKcmEKyxqmtqNthttps://youtu.be/CfvgU8gHmUA?si=lOzEX6oSz8WQW8VE

best track on new Beverast is probably track 2 so far

Masterful record. Melodies are incredible, and the instrumentation is on point. Not a remotely dull song in the bunch.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rqXWmNJq9Ahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmFROuQAJt4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LdDvPb9zbshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K9_9YmbX9shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFaQjklGohQ>>129067397Just re-listened to it. It's pretty much flawless!
>>129050228Lmao are they all lying down inside that bomber machine?
>>129076665Well of course. BG are the greatest European Power Metal band of all time.
