Very cool list, there are quite a few we have in common and some I even debated putting in my Top 100. Like Am I Evil, Infinite Dreams, Benedictine Convulsions, This Love, Beyond The Black and more...

Great, thanks for caring to comment here. Even if this list doesnt get polished regularly by me, it is still up to date. I entirely live in the past, metalwise.

I don't see a problem with this! Metal's past is amazing.

It can be one when fewer and fewer people care about albums from the old days (apart from the classics) and it becomes increasingly difficult to find folks to talk to about it. The core of the community lives at the pulse of the evolution, understandably, and that is obviously at current releases.

I see what you're saying and I suppose it is true and normal in a way to see this happening. If Metal is to live on and evolve to remain relevant we need new bands and new fans and tons of new releases that push boundaries.

At the same time though, I think its important to know where it all comes from and to have older metalheads around to remind the youth about past underground gems and help "rediscover" those. That's what we're here for nah? Spread the word about the good ol' stuff!

I don't really think that there's fewer people "caring". I honestly think there's just fewer people to help the new fans navigate through this increasing pool of amazing releases.

Well, I'd say this is what Metal Storm can obviously be very helpful for. If you are new to the whole thing there is enough sources that help you navigate through what is currently released. And it is only natural for newbies to start right there and develop your taste there. Then most of them would also become interested in the classic releases that started the whole thing at some point. But I am afraid it will be left for a bunch of freaks only to discover hidden gems from the old days. And I hope indeed that we can be helpful at that as well on MS.
