Four slots left on the 1995 chart, reply to this post with what you want added
>>129864742Rage - Black in MindGrave Digger - Heart of DarknessShadow Gallery - Carved in Stone
>>129865009added rage and grave digger, i'm gonna go finalize it now
Psalm 9 has such a sick riff
>>129865129for me it's that short groovy riff after the solo in the fall of lucifer and then the stomping one afterwards, sounds so fucking cool
>>129865152I also like the one where they quote alice cooper's unfinished sweet, really badass and unlike alice they repeat it more, which was the right callhttps://youtu.be/oqNR-_nHZwQ?t=74https://youtu.be/K5ZlHl80zck?t=101
>>129865291>and unlike alice they repeat it more, which was the right callagreed, the version in assassin has more time to sink in. by the time i was starting to get into the cooper riff it was already onto the next one.
1995's chart is complete! 1996 will start sometime tomorrow.
>>129864742Black Sabbath - Forbidden
>>129864723like a decade later and I'm still seething that a sick Psalm 9 longsleeve I bought got lost in the mail and the guy who was making them dropped off the earthpushing it with this one as far as "trad metal" but whatever they covered Trouble and I've been listening to it a lot
>>129865659>like a decade later and I'm still seething that a sick Psalm 9 longsleeve I bought got lost in the mail and the guy who was making them dropped off the earthdo you still have any photos of what it was supposed to look like?
>>129865676pretty sure it was this (though admittedly I find the back a lil ugly now)
>>129865732yeah that looks pretty cool>(though admittedly I find the back a lil ugly now)i think the band photo is fine, it's the other elements that look sort of off. like you have this stylized logo on the front, then a generic typeface for all the text on the back.
>tfw no Realm - Endless War on the 1988 chart'88 was fucking stacked, but this album is sorely missedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhsAQ5mWOmk

>>129874868>>129874882votes have been counted
>>129874756Angra - Holy LandHelloween - The Time of the OathImpellitteri - Screaming SymphonyAxel Rudi Pell - Black Moon PyramidRiot - The Brethren of the Long HouseStratovarius - Episode
>>129876759>Riot - The Brethren of the Long House1995 release and it already made that chart, counted the rest
>>129876771Damn, I forgot.Some of I think has to do with some of those end of year releases being released earlier somewhere else compared to the rest of the world...Gonna add another vote for The Divine Wings of Tragedy then (originally I thought it came out in 1997 - but no, it came out in 1996 in Japan and therefore counts as a '96 album).
