My fav Death album too.. Just a great great man Chuck was.. I saw them in 1993 great gig and still to this day one of the greatest concerts I have ever seen.
My top 5 metal albums..
Peace Sell / Megadeth
Human / Death
Season/South/Reign / Slayer (cant pick)
Master of puppets / Metallica
Beneath the remains / Sepultura
Always preferred Peace Sells over Rust in Peace, never met anyone who agrees until now.
Well I love Rust as well but before Peace sells metal was a bit stuck, the agression, the writing and that line up! Gar Samuelson was fantastic jazz drummer and Chris Poland a great guitarist. Mustaine and Ellefson full of anger and smacked out of their minds. A masterpiece of a thrash album all about speed and precision..
Yeah i love that album. Megadeth and Metallica took thrash from being just this punk and NWOBHM influenced speed based thing and turned it into things like Black Friday and Ride The Lightning. As you say i love Rust in Peace too, i think Dave's a brilliant writer no matter what so i love the Youthanasia era too.
nothing beats old school for me.
Couldn't agree more..
lay back and relax...
New Opeth is awesome. Not death metal awesome, but awesome in a different way.
In Solitude --- The Swedes have done it again..
Also the new Wolf album is sounding good.. Nothing beats the "Ravenous" though, but still worth getting into.

Nothing wrong with this...
Feeling a bit nostralgic today, this saved my day!
That soaring voice
Friday Night and getting fecked up...
Good choice. If there's a better Slayer album than RIB then i haven't heard it.
Well I cant choose between SOH, RIB, SITA.
But you are right fantastic album..
South of Heaven i thought was a bit uneven, it's got some great tracks though. The title track, Behind the Crooked Cross and Ghosts of War in particular. Seasons in the Abyss i think is much better, not a bad track in my opinion. Reign in Blood is just brilliant though.
I agree but I am a bit tainted by this era.. So when they where released back in the days I did play all of them non stop. So I cant pick one, but your assessment isnt wrong by any means..
The first album release I remember being around for from them was Christ illusion so I guess that's where we differ.
So not tainted at all, young and fresh..The first album release I remember being around for from them was Christ illusion so I guess that's where we differ.
Fresh set of ears never hurts
Loved 2013 because of Carcass and this.
Comebacks FTW.

The first time i heard them i remember thinking "what in gods name is this?!"
Same with Master of Puppets strangely enough. I'd have both records in my top 10 ever now. Weird really.
Well back in the days, I couldn't get enough.. Slayer,Megadeth,Sepultura. Then it went full retard, Death,Cannibal Corpse and more.. But some of it really stuck Megadeth,Death and Slayer have been with me since I was10 or 12..
I only heard about Sepultura because my dad said he met them in the early 90s. Don't own anything after Chaos AD but the Max era stuff is great. Love me some Death too, have everything they did. Same thing happened with me, getting progressively heavier as time went on. Sabbath> Maiden> Metallica> Megadeth> Slayer> Opeth> Death. That's about as far as i go, mind. I really had to learn to tolerate the vocals.
Any of you tried these guys?
Killer Be Killed is an American supergroup founded by The Dillinger Escape Plan vocalist Greg Puciato and Soulfly/Cavalera Conspiracy/ex-Sepultura/Nailbomb frontman Max Cavalera in early 2011. The lineup also features Mastodon bassist and co-vocalist Troy Sanders and former The Mars Volta drummer Dave Elitch.

Was kind of hoping/expecting this. It's clear that they've been through a transition period the last few years. They've been moving away from the death metal for a while now. I didn't think their last album (Heritage) was as bad as many others thought it was, but it was far from their best as well. I've only listened to the new one twice now, but in contrast to the last one, they really did get the songwriting right this time. Not death metal anymore (maybe Akerfeldt can't handle all the grunting anymore), but you do feel it's still Opeth.

This will always be my favorite Sabaton song. Simple, but great. Their new album is quite good as well, although not as great as the Carolus Rex album. I'm afraid that one will be a one time gem.
Yeah i thought Heritage was underrated. Not up to the usual standard, but great in its own way. New one isn't quite as twiddly, but it's a step up. Feels like the record Heritage could have been.
I´m going on a Finland cruise next week where BOLT THROWER are playing. It will be my first time going to a Bolt Thrower concert and I´m excited as feck. Berserking all night on a ship and looting Finland for their cheap booze. I´ve already booked an appointment with my doctor for whiplash treatment and liver tests.
Realm of Chaos
Just
Just spent 15 quid on amazon buying up old CDs. Arise and Roots by sepultura, Peace Sells and Rust in Peace by Megadeth, Ozzys Ozzmosis and loads more. Some as cheap as 20p! I was like marge Simpson in a casino, couldn't pull myself away.
Had the melody from 3:50 stuck in me head all day. Fortunately it goes on for about 6 minutes so I don't have to press repeat too many times.
They're supporting Opeth in London next month. Who's a coming?
They're also supporting Opeth over here in Brussels. I'm meh about Opeth but I do love Alcest (especially the excellent Ecailles de Lune) so I'm thinking of going and fecking off before Opeth starts.
Only it's pretty stupid from a financial point of view to pay for a bigger band just to see its support.
