I live for killing, because killing is my life
I kill for money, I don't care who lives or dies
$100000 for this retched fucker's life
One knife or bullet in his brain he'll fall tonight

I kill to survive
You're gonna die tonight

You see the death that this night has brought to you
You see the blood flow see the blade rip through
His corpse so cold and his eyes open wide
I got my cash
I don't care who lived or died

I kill to survive
You're gonna die tonight

Hunt him down, read his past
Find the way, to take his life
Deal was made, he was next
No escape, for him tonight...

I'm paid to shoot, to rip, to slice, any man's heart
I'm paid to finish any job I fuckin' start
And in the end, if down to hell I go
I'll make damn sure that I take down you too

I kill to survive
You're gonna die tonight

Hunt you down, read your past
Find the way, to take his life
Deal's been made, you are last
No escape for you, tonight...

Listened to the first song and skimmed through the rest, aside from the muddy sound and the slightly tuned down guitars this sounds like mid-80s Slayer, even down to the vocals. Now I do hear a BIT of the OSDM sound (shit like Possessed and early Death) but I think that's just due to how fast the riffing is; which to my ears is firmly rooted in thrash. (BTW that first song is fucking awesome, I'm gonna check this one out.)

I should throw in perhaps the most controversial nomination for 1991:

Metallica - The Black Album.

Why? It is the only Metal album to ever go Diamond is the genre's entire history.

>inb4 Linkin Park, AC/DC, ZZ Top, Def Leppard, Kid Rock, Guns 'n Roses, Van Halen

None of those bands' albums that went Diamond are Metal. Def Leppard stopped being Metal after On Through the Night, and the rest are either Hard Rock, Hard Alternative or Nu-Metal (that's a misnomer; it's not Metal).

>>129234663
I don't know about that one.
>Why? It is the only Metal album to ever go Diamond is the genre's entire history.
And it's for this very reason desu. The Black Album is iconic, but it's also incredibly fucking well-known, well beyond your typical metal album.

>>129235060
Iconic enough to go Double Diamond, in fact.

Neither Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Dio, Iron Maiden, Saxon, Mötley Crüe, Scorpions, Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer nor any other leading Metal band came close. Metallica stands alone, and that's saying something.

>>129234663
Black Album is radio rock so it doesn't count

Let's not waste a space on the black album.

>>129234663
>>inb4
No one was going to mention those bands

>>129219366
Dunno if they qualify for this thread but what are some traditional metal bands like Flames who were a big influence on black metal?

>>129229931
Gamma Ray - Sigh No More
Stone - Emotional Playground

>>129232099

Love it or loathe it, Metallica going Double Diamond is an achievement held by no other Metal band.

Only one that isn't Metal is Nothing Else Matters. Others do have Hard Rock elements in fairness, but it's majority Metal.

The following are entirely Metal with no Hard Rock elements: Enter Sandman, Sad but True, Holier Than Thou, Wherever I May Roam, Don't Tread on Me, Through the Never, Of Wolf and Man, The Struggle Within

It being metal isn't really the issue here. It's the fact that EVERYONE, even people who would not normally care about metal - know about and have probably listened to it. In my opinion it's even more of a wasted slot than Master of Puppets would've been on 1986's.

That is correct, but to my knowledge the nudity that's not taboo in central Europe is... natural, if you will. More natural, less sexual.

The point of the cover is that it has a provoking message conveyed. The girl itself is not really nude, because her sex is covered by the breaking glass. But I always thought the girl is prepubescent, it didn't arouse anything in me. It wasn't like she was a 19 year-old model

Just finished it. Lacks the atmosphere of Reflections of a Floating World but makes up for it (and then some, this album's actually better by a small amount imo) by just having more focused songwriting and less jamming. Favorite song was probably The End or the title track.

So I've been a fan of Witchfinder General for a long time right. Never listened to their Soviet Invasion EP until now though, and God damn it's good. Why did I never check this out until now? I'm gonna listen to the rest of their stuff I haven't heard now.
>>129255169
Reflections and Dead Roots sound and feel different for sure. Dead Roots is more stoner doom and Reflections is more psychedelic and more rock less metal. They're both equally good for different reasons.

Reign of fire and Tribal dance (with dropping like flies a bit lower down) seemed a lot stronger than the other songs on symbol of salvation.
at least in terms of how catchy they were to me.

>Reflections and Dead Roots sound and feel different for sure. Dead Roots is more stoner doom and Reflections is more psychedelic and more rock less metal.
Dead Roots was definitely heavier, but I also think it had slightly superior songwriting. They are quite close in quality, though.

I have that EP. I have their Mistress Mistress 7" too. One of the few worthwhile nu-boomer metal bands to keep an eye on for a while. Their record has some really cool songs. The reverb makes the vocals unintelligible. I wish they'd lean a little bit more into being a WASP clone.

Forgot to mention, but some of you might be wondering why they would chase a new trend. Well it worked out very well for them when they did it with the Painkiller album (though that is kinda an evolution of their previous album in some aspects). That's regarded as one of the greatest metal albums ever.
I wonder if of the reason that people look unfavorably upon Demolition and Jugulator, is because they had Tim Owens for these 2 albums, rather than Rob Halford. His vocal range matched halford and he had a similar vocal style, but he wasn't the guy people were familiar with and you can tell it was someone else.

It doesn't sound like nu metal to me. They used some kind of fuzz tone on the guitar during the first 20 seconds, the only element out of place with JP's normal sound. They were probably just trying to add a modern touch to their music. Here's an example of a greater deviation from a band's classic sound to trying to sound modern for a 90s audience.

Well, Though the song it self is probably more like Groove metal, what i mean is Judas Priest immitating the trappings of Korn to some extent. The singer tries to sing like korn's singer at a few points, and one of the guitarists does the warbly dissonant clean guitars thing that korn liked to do.

Revolution der neuen Zeit,
die würdigen Kämpfer des Blutes stehen bereit.
Alles, alles was wir sehen,
das muss fallen und vergehen.
Europas Erben müssen wir werden,
müssen wieder auferstehen.

Europa, heiliger Kontinent,
wir sind dein Bollwerk, das letzte Kontingent.
Von Italien bis zum Nordkap, vom Atlantik bis zum Ural,
befreien wir Europa und haben keine andre Wahl.
Volk für Volk und Blut für Blut,
wir stehen gemeinsam – eine Front – uns formt die gleiche Wut.

Naturgesetze werden missachtet,
ein Kontinent in Depression, geistig umnachtet.
Arterhaltung, Rassenpflege, genetische Hygiene,
wir wollen Art und Linien erhalten,
Europas Zukunft gestalten.

Auch der Osten steht an unsrer Seite,
Ukraine und Russland nicht mehr im Streite.
Serbien und Kroatien müssen zusammenhalten,
gemeinsam die Reconquista mit uns gestalten.
Nordirland mit England für Europa Hand in Hand,
Konflikte der Vergangenheit werden begraben,
auf das Europäer eine Zukunft haben.

Europa erwache aus deinem bösen Traum,
gib fremden Völkern nicht länger Platz und Raum.
Es peitschen von allen Dächern, unsere Freiheit naht,
jetzt zählt nicht mehr das Wort, sondern nur noch die Tat.
Stärke ist die Kraft des Geistes und Glaube dir der Seele,
heil dir, Europa, erschallt es, wie aus einer Kehle.

Als kleiner Junge von den Römern entführt,
und von Kaiser Augustus zum Ritter gekürt,
blieb den Germanen als Hermann bekannt,
vergaß er nie sein besetztes Vaterland.
Er war der erste Deutsche der uns alle einte,
der die römische Fremdherrschaft verneinte.
Noch heute schwingt er dort mit erhobenem Arm,
sein Schwert zum Wolkensitz, sein Blick – stählern – achtsam.

In den Wäldern Germaniens erhalt noch heut der Schrei:
"Wir sind und bleiben auf ewig stolz und frei!"
Ob am Rhein, am Inn, ob an Weser oder Belt,
wir sind Germanen, an uns zerschellt die ganze Welt!

Im Jahre 9 nach Christus traf Varus das Gewitter,
15.000 Römer starben, die Niederlage bitter.
Die Wiesen waren getränkt von Invasorenblut ganz rot,
Varus wählte auf dem Schlachtfeld noch den freien Tod.
Augustus beendete die linksrheinische Invasion,
Dank Hermann dem Cherusker, Germaniciter Sohn!
Gottlob hat die römischen Legionen vertrieben,
oh Hermann nur dir verdanken wir, dass wir Deutsche geblieben.

Über drei Tage dauerte die heilige Schlacht,
vereint kämpften die Stämme gegen die Übermacht.
Mann gegen Mann haben sie Legionen geschlagen.
In Kalkriese ging es den Besatzern an den Kragen.
Die Römer dachten, ihnen gehört die ganz Welt,
der Teutoburger Wald wurde zum Blutfeld.
Seit 1875 schaut er auf uns hernieder,
bei seinem Denkmal schwören wir immer wieder:

Solang noch ein Feind Germanien regiert,
zücken die Stämme das Schwert solange das Blut noch pulsiert."
Hermanns Geist lebt in uns allen fort,
Deutsche haltet zusammen, egal an welchem Ort!

This is a good album (with the first 4~ songs being the highlight, Rusty Cage and Outshined were fantastic) but I'm split on whether it should be allowed on the chart or not. Plenty of stoner metal and some doom, and unquestionable Sabbath/Zeppelin influence in their sound; but there's also a LOT of alt metal, and some of it's pretty fucking far from traditional metal.

Again, the album isn't bad but unrefined. We both agree The Music of Erich Zann is a grand improvement and perhaps their best album.

>>129289818
>Again, the album isn't bad but unrefined.
I wouldn't say it's bad, there's still a lot of great songs on it like the opener and Nightmare Patrol.

Sorcery played solid Black Sabbath style Metal, but I'm glad you didn't call them Doom Metal because they weren't.

While Black Sabbath and the heavier side of Psychedelic Rock all played instrumental roles in forging Doom Metal as a genre, "70s Doom" is a myth propagated by insolent music journalists and clever record distros looking to turn a profit on nostalgia. No active, touring, recording Doom bands existed in the '70s. Pentagram's early material tinkered with Hard Rock, Psychedelic Rock and Heavy Metal and Bedemon's demos never reached a wider audience until they were bootlegged in the '80s. Doom Metal proper started in the '80s, a decade that bequeathed Tyrant (who later became Saint Vitus), Trouble, Death Row/Pentagram, Candlemass, Cirith Ungol, Witchfinder General and, for the sake of argument, Pagan Altar. These bands can be safely considered the origin of Doom Metal. The few obscure "Doom" bands (besides those affiliated with Candlemass and Iron Man) people name drop from the '70s lack so many of the qualities seen in the bigger bands.

>>129291865
>but I'm glad you didn't call them Doom Metal because they weren't.
I think the last song on the album was, but the rest of it was just undertones imo.
>Cirith Ungol
Those guys started out in the early '70s and had two demos (and calling The Orange Album a demo is a pretty big stretch) out before their 1981 debut. I wouldn't group them in with the rest of those bands, especially since they only have one doom album in the classic run (King of the Dead) and they're not really similar to any bands here besides Trouble.

glam might be my guilty pleasure

What's your favorite band?

>>129297808
I would say Def Leppard but everyone knows they were better off as non-glam (Pyromania is great tho)

I have been enjoying Ratt lately. I haven't really explored the genre much but fuck I'm not gonna act like I'm too good for a nice catchy chorus

I like their first album quite a bit, but everything after (aside from a song here and there like Lay It Down and Body Talk) was a massive downgrade imo. I will say though, Invasion has one of the sickest guitar tones I've ever heard. Shit's CRUNCHY.

This is a very long album (longer than it should be) that starts to run out of steam with the final few songs. But everything before that point is REALLY fucking good, and miles ahead of anything on their first two albums. Giving this one a vote.
