>>129409195Motörhead - Bastards
>>129409509Wrote it down. If we're unable to fill the chart (which I suspect will be the case) I might do a split with 1994 like what happened with 1980-1981's chart.

>>129409195Angra - Angels Cry
>>129409591just because it came out in 93 doesn't mean it should be included. for instance, insanity and genius is a really mediocre album and i love gamma ray.
>>129409565That's a lot.>Cathedral - The Ethereal MirrorI like this album but not enough to vote for it, and I don't see it getting anymore lol.>Maybe too radioactive:Both of those should be fine. RYM lists main genres each as just heavy metal.>>129409591>>129409592Counted all of these, we have 5 2 votes now.

>>129409670>WHOOPS, scratch Marshall Law (1992)Alright, I'll remove your vote.
>>129409591>Thunder Way - The Order ExecutorsReally didn't expect anyone else to post this. It's such a curiosity, as it remains the only power metal album to ever come out of Albania. This country has a very small metal scene, with only 18 bands total in the Metal Archives, so for them to be doing power metal in 1993 when the genre really hadn't taken off yet, but never again, sure is an oddity. It's a shame the production is so poor, but by all means, it's understandable.
>>129409675There seems to be a contradiction. Metal-Archives says 1992 but Discogs says 1993:https://www.discogs.com/master/585254-Marshall-Law-Power-GameSpotify also lists it as 1993:https://open.spotify.com/album/6hHCg1zNfhdnaBMrpzW7haOnly Metal-Archives claims 1992. Seeing that their official Spotify and Discogs lists it as 1993, could we still include it in the poll?https://youtu.be/874uS3m5c_Y
>>129409709>There seems to be a contradiction. Metal-Archives says 1992 but Discogs says 1993:I consider Discogs the gold standard for this kind of info, Metallum is reliable but not 100%, and I've had some fuck ups with their release dates in the past.>Only Metal-Archives claims 1992. Seeing that their official Spotify and Discogs lists it as 1993, could we still include it in the poll?Yes. Re-instating your vote. Spotify gives it even more credibility since that's official.
MA claims an independent release in 1992 with no other information. I think we can disregard that.
>>129409750>Format>CDHuh? This is clearly the dimensions for a tape, why is cassette not listed there?
>>129409628>>129409719Meanwhile, here's Estirpe Imperial: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kuYFPnvmUm0e51bknuOq8PraEVHAkzAm0Vit Aggression:https://youtu.be/wlfru9kJPl8https://youtu.be/l7-9sdU49pchttps://youtu.be/SRTPJeOHSfUhttps://youtu.be/nGZCTbY29X8https://youtu.be/Aw2Rs-HiLKkhttps://youtu.be/qgs6dKV0h2ghttps://youtu.be/PXxj2scF-tE
>>129409764I was talking about Power Game.
>>129409591Seconding Conception - Parallel Minds, one of my favoriteshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H8l9rZnBEs
>>129409785Ah, my mistake. I get tunnel vision sometimes lol>>129409787Counted, I might actually listen to this after The Missing Link.
>>129409787Conception is probably my most local widely known metal band. The vocalist is from a really small village about 30 km from here, basically in the middle of the forest. I often go skiing and cycling in the nearby area, and I know he's an outdoors guy, so who knows, maybe I'll run into him some day.
First power metal Rage album I've listened to (I had only listened to Reign of Fear beforehand) and yeah, this is some damn good food. While the vocals scream Running Wild, the actual music reminds me a lot of classic Blind Guardian, complete with that thrashy edge they had on their first two albums. Seconding.https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcQfM4LCpP5qVzYJ1IiMcvdJQNl2_bZfp
>>129410036Rage will have an album in most of the remaining years of the 90s, and you can't really go wrong with any of them.
>>129410107So I've seen, but I'll probably end up going back into their catalogue to listen to the '80s stuff I missed. Perfect Man's got a fuckin' sick album cover, would that be a good one to kick off with?
>>129410136Many consider it their best. It's a very accessible album with short and simple songs, but the music is top notch.
>>129410208Gotcha, I’ll check it out tomorrow after I wake up.
