Screechy Evil Felonious Blitzing Metal
|
The concept of this list is not exceptionally well defined, but I'm circling a basic sound of lean, fast-paced metal with high-pitched vocals that tend to be on the harsher side. The album that inspired the compilation was Evil Invaders' Shattering Reflection, so that can serve as a template; not everything here necessarily sounds exactly like that, but it's all somewhere in the blackened speed/power-thrash/particularly aggressive heavy metal continuum. I'm going entirely by what feels right to me and not necessarily what makes sense on paper, so don't hold this to a rigid standard of consistency.
Here are a few individual tracks that I also thought fit the mood nicely: Accept - "Fast As A Shark" Accept - "Fight It Back" 3 Inches Of Blood - "Leather Lord" Judas Priest - "Ram It Down" Judas Priest - "Hard As Iron" Satan - "Trial By Fire" Crisix - "Ultra Thrash" Fifth Angel - "In The Fallout"

Here I was thinking you're gonna do a list of metal albums where members were convicted.

Written by Redel on 25.08.2023 at 22:12 Good suggestion. I think I actually had that somewhere on my draft list and it went missing. But I think that's worth including.

Written by ScreamingSteelUS on 25.08.2023 at 22:16 I am not sure though if the vocals are sufficiently high pitched for the standards of this list; that is for you to judge.

I dig this list. How about some Deathhammer or Midnight?

Written by A Real Mönkey on 26.08.2023 at 02:59 I considered Midnight, but I've never been that fond of them. Deathhammer would be one to try, though; I haven't listened to them since Chained To Hell came out, so I'll check them out.

Written by Zap on 26.08.2023 at 14:15 I would say that they're sufficiently screechy and blitzing. Good idea.

Written by ScreamingSteelUS on 26.08.2023 at 17:15 Cool. I think I'll make this into a playlist because this list includes everything I can think of when I am in the mood for this type of music. And then I get to listen to the ones I don't know.

Could I suggest the Riot City debut?

Written by ScreamingSteelUS on 26.08.2023 at 16:45 That's a pity. I fucking love Midnight. In that case, maybe Nuke or Speedwolf would be more your fancy. Or Athenar's Motorhead-based side project Whitespade?

Would Vektor's Black Future qualify? Mr Space Eagle is pretty screechy. And his riffs are pretty darn fast

Written by A Real Mönkey on 26.08.2023 at 20:53 I'm not familiar with any of those three, but I will check them out. Thanks for the suggestions. Written by AndyMetalFreak on 26.08.2023 at 19:50 You very well could. I liked Electric Elite, so I'll check out Burn The Night, too. Written by F3ynman on 26.08.2023 at 21:36 Quite possibly. It's been a while since I listened to Vektor, but that could work. You've reminded me that I wanted to revisit Black Fast for consideration as well.

Trying here but... Perhaps some Toxic Holocaust ? I'd suggest the album Evil Never Dies

Surprised to see no Mercyful Fate or King Diamond, considering the theme of the list

Written by Guib on 27.08.2023 at 07:35 I opted not to initially because they don't seem "screechy" enough; they are adjacent to the punky/blackened thrash end of this list, though. I've never listened to that album, so perhaps I'll reconsider. Written by Auntie Sahar on 28.08.2023 at 23:48 Definitely similar in spirit, but neither of them really fits the speed profile. Evil for sure, but not quite far enough into power/thrash to fully fit what I'm looking for. Written by tintinb on 29.08.2023 at 03:43 I liked Embers of War when it came out. I haven't listened to them since (or the first two albums) so I'll revisit them for an evaluation.
