Discuss The Last Album You Listened To

Ironhawk - 1983 - To the Point (EP)

This is awesome and quite early too. Heavy metal with great melodies. USA band but sounds like GBR 80s heavy metal. 8,5/10

Brainstorm (Brazil) - 1994 - Echoes of Insanity (demo)

Damn good tech thrash. Maybe little bit too late release year, which makes it sound better than some old tapes. 9/10; awesome guitar playing right here

Aftershock - 1990 - Color of Greed (demo)

Some sources say that this is heavy metal, but I think it's like early Iced Earth style power metal with thrash riffs. Really good sounding demo and better sound than many studio albums have. It's only two songs and both of them are rather great. This band should've had a LP. 9,5/10

Thorax - 1987 - Crusaders of Steel (demo)

Great Belgian heavy metal with good melodies and solos. Surprise of a band by country; it's awesome killer material and breaks expectations that you can't come from some underdog country and make some impressive songs. 8/10

Brainstorm (Brazil) - 1996 - Brainstorm

Great prog tech thrash. People know Brazil mostly for Sepultara, but there's more bands like Brainstorm and Overdose. Killer band and record. At the year 1996 this represents more the truer side of metal than the regular groove sellout garbage that was released during this era 9/10.

Giant - Last of the Runaways (1989)
Giant - Time to Burn (1992)

It was a long time I gave these a listen and once again I'm suprised how great these guys were. Strong melodic rock with lots of strong hooks, sweeping lead guitar and bluesy riffs. While the whole band was great there's no denying that Dann Huff was the star, his vocals and guitar playing is fantastic. It's no suprise that the guy has worked with so many famous artists through his career.

Went trough all Grand Magus albums and its well damn good more n more I like their albums

Heavenwood all while was driving on bandcamp. Damn good albums, gothic doom whit some influences, I like this band.

Maniac (Pre-Wargasm) - 1986 - Rainbows, Kittens, Flowers & Puppies (demo)

Good thrash release and I think that the vocal style is the only thing that is not great enough for a better rating. Musically great enjoyable performance and the songwriting is quite good. No complaints on my behalf. 8/10

Ironsword all of this Portuguese band a bit steel band, they own Manilla Road. Band should tour more and play music, well I anjoy it, I wish I had more time listen this one.

Heathen's Rage - 1986 - Heathens Rage (EP)

Thanks to youtube algorithm for bringing this band to my attention. One of the truest power metal releases I've heard recently and pleasure of a listen! The band never released a full length album but I think I'm going to look into their compilations soon because this material is rather impressive. Knights of Steel is probably a cult classic song which I wasn't aware of before. A solid 8,5/10 release

Inner Sanctum - 1994 - Questions? (EP) (Pre Fifth Season)

One of the best progs that I've heard recently, but I wouldn't necessarily say that it's THE best. One of those records that I don't have anything negative to say about it, none at all. Great uncommon song patterns with some technical playing as well. 9/10

Death of Folk - Neverending at His Neverending Journey

Damn good mid, late 90's sounding gothic doom metal balanced mix between female and male vocals, not grolws, grunts but vocals , if this band would re union and even record albums then. they would be much bigger, even now if they re union and re record it or simply play live they would be bigger even better as newest Ashes You Leave

Eternal Champion both albums while drove, its damn good epic metal, how people can not dislike such music?

Fathomage - Autumn's Dawn, Winter's Darkness

Nice atmospheric bm giving winter vibes. Heard some Orthodox type chanting so googled and found out they are Orthodox Christian.

Nemorous - Self titled

Some more nice atmospheric bm bit with some doom.
Really getting into my wintery atmospheric stuff atm even though it just turned summer.

It seems to me that Eternal Champion are universally appreciated. Terrific band.

Iron Maiden
All studio albums and well somehow before all they killer songs I could play same song all the time now, somehow I can not I just well I cant go all albums again, but all songs, classic I did play before million times, now simply I want hear new music. Dont get me wrong still like that band

Bruce Dickinson
I would like to say in my days I have listen more to Iron Maiden as Bruce Dickinson but nice way go back and I still like most of his, specially latest and all albums well sad he and his main man are old and chance new good albums wont come out

Midnight Priest all
I made play list when drove, so cant cement each album superatlet but I like EP in Portuguese even rest of albums
NWOPHM - new wave of Portuguese Heavy metal, I mean new bands better sound quality, modern studio and internat, English is getting better and on social media bands can promote their music and can tour and so on, in 80's and mid 90's it was harder

Iudicium - May Will Be September
Weird I thought this band was in MS, but damn good Bulgarian band a bit black doom, gotbic mixture in music and mid 90's style

Witchkiller - 1984 - Day Of The Saxons (EP)

Really good Canadian heavy metal with only this major release. The songs are rather good, but I doubt that if they made a full length, it would be as good material. Great release and quite early date. 8/10

Moonspell all on play list
While watching a guy do some engine things in garade, smoking cigarr and drinking beer and half sweet cherry cider listen all bandsd album on play list.
To me bands all time fav and best song is ''Opium'', but I like Wolfheart and Extinct even two followrs are good, Between I am not impressed so much
Even once I told in this forum Fernando Ribeiro is only male person in the world I can share port wine, but I think he should be hired gun , sing in doom , gothic bands, It would be better whit his vocal skills and put this band as side protect.

Well, I was inspired to turn every stone and check out all kinds of obscure thrash metal from around the world so I can add them to my list. Now here's a great one from Australia: The band is called "Massive Appendage" and their only album "The Severed Erection", that is very upbeat, funny and catchy crossover thrash metal. I can't think of any other album that sounds quite like it. Even when the production sounds kinda bad, it shows great personality. There's loads of gems like this nobody knows.

Here's another thrash gem from the down under: What Choice Do We Have by Fester Fanatics, a catchy and funny crossover album. I think the joke here is that while the bulk of the songs are actually more punk rock, they still throw in a lot great guitar leads and solos. In punk circles soloing is usually considered more mainstream and selling out, so they probably did that one on purpose just for the fun of it. Good luck trying to find a physical copy: this thing is said to be so rare it could as well be just a myth.

Iron Fortress - 1996 - Iron Fortress

Rather great prog with little bit power and heavy metal inclination as well. Just an enjoyable listen throughout. The band sounds similar to Leviathan (USA-CO) used to. 8/10

More USPM than progressive metal. Solid album indeed.

Manilla Road all
Even I did not like Invasion and Metal, to ''experimental'', to 70's jam, psychedelic, chaotic inspired , not metal, but all after Crystal Logic kicks ass, damn good band, sad all end as it did, really legends. I like it , RIP Mark Shelton - keep on rocking in Necropolis.

Paysage Dhiver - I'm wald

Come to the conclusion it is not as good as Die Berge

Virgin Steele all albums till The House Of Atreus Act II, even I and II those are weak, but cant stand all comes after, damn what a band, songs Danger Zone, American Girl, Life Of Crime, Hell Or High Water, Don't Say Goodbye ,(Tonight)Noble Savage, We Rule The Night, On The Wings Of The Night, Sex Religion Machine, I Will Come For You, Blood And Gasoline, Trail Of Tears, The Raven Song, Forever Will I Roam, A Symphony Of Steele, Unholy Water, victory Is Mine and few more I missed, I would say debut up to The Marriage Of Heaven And Hell Part II (where is part 3) are soldit strong good albunms, what come after is well can throw in a sea. Otehrwise well damn good metal band,

Ensiferum all albums while was doing gardening adn so on , great band, folk catchy melodies, I wish I had more time for old bands, I wish life stand still when you're 30 and you could like like 10 000 years, because 40 years are not enough for great music.
