Carnival Diablos/Waking the Fury

CD-Charts > Music > Speed Metal and Thrash
by: Annihilator

Release Date May 26, 2008
Annihillator have constantly remained a top-notch thrash metal band druing the years, never losing their pure thrash metal sound (ever). After the return (on the previous album) of Original singer Randy rampage, the band decided to get ANOTHER new singer: this time somebody whose name i cant remember. but what i do remember is that he is one heck of a singer.

So what kind of thrash metal is it? is it melodic thrash? well, yes it is, it is not exactly the most melodic kind of thrash (that would belong to anthrax and Death angel), but it is melodic, and sometimes catchy, but the new singers vocie gives it a good kind of aggression which makes it feel brutal as well as melodic, something that Has only ever been achieved (in my opinion) ...

Nordland Vol.1

CD-Charts > Music > Speed Metal and Thrash
by: Bathory

Release Date December 02, 2002
Cant speak highly enough of this - basically a one man band project, this is an album that transcends its modest budget to create an epic piece of work. Defined as Viking Metal this tackles the subject with a reverence that only a native Scandinavian could muster. Bands like Manowar from the USA flirt with the genre but cannot reach this level of sincerity. Quorthon, one of Black Metal's founding fathers, leaves the confines of his roots to create a masterpiece of atmosphere & mood. Responsible for all vocals, guitars & bass (not sure about the drums, they could be a drum machine BUT they sound natural) he weaves a series of Wagnerian Metal masterpieces so evocative that you can see the mountains, clouds, ice & dragon boats so beautifully ...

Live In L.A.

CD-Charts > Music > Speed Metal and Thrash
by: Death

Release Date September 17, 2001
This album contains most of Death's best songs. The production value could have been a little better, however, the music and musicianship more than make up for it. If you're not familiar with Death, shame on you, they are one of the best bands ever, cetainly within the metal genre. If you're just getting into Death this is a good starting point, and it is a great addition to any Death, or metal, fan's collection.

These guys - even considering a few personnel changes - were at the top of the thrash-metal heap and have been credited with creating the subgenre "Death Metal." Personally, I do prefer the pristine studio recordings that capture all of the pounding, razor-sharp complexities in these songs, but the "raw" sound is still pretty freakin' ... Read More:

The Return

CD-Charts > Music > Speed Metal and Thrash
by: Bathory

Release Date July 18, 2004
As a big Bathory fan, this is a must. With such raw masterpieces of early black metal like Total Destruction and Winds of Mayhem, the sophomore outing of Bathory is just as important as the first. Although not as brilliant as the following Under The Sign Of the Black Mark, this has some cool black metal songs on it.

As with any Bathory release, there is hardly any production to speak of, but the only thing you miss is the drums, so it's not too bad...

There are quite a few songs on here, and so they are all in the sam evein. Songs like born For Burning and Total Destruction are the best though, as well as Possessed and The Return Of Darkness And Evil. Nice speed, and lovely proto-black metal screamy voice make this a nostalgic release of ... Read More:

Abigail II

CD-Charts > Music > Speed Metal and Thrash
by: King Diamond

Release Date January 01, 2007
The above review is total nonsense...this cd has some of the coolest riffs that King has done in ages. The story in precise and needs to be really understood - So buy Abigail 1st as that is unreal.

Production is more clinical than raw/heavy and has a lot going on in the background, so sacrifices have to be made somewhere. Quality sound is required for all the guitar weaving and varius keyboard effects, or it would just sound mushed up.

Not as heavy as House Of God, but a lot catchier.
