TOPIC: Your Classic Heavy Metal Album Of The Day
[J.D. DIAMOND] Friday, April 17, 2009 5:16:33 PM 
DelivererofEvil,I agree with you for the most part here. I do not like very many death metal bands,but I do like some.Vader is a death metal band but they are just not my cup of tea,but to each his own. I think that the most interesting death metal bands are 2 bands...thier old stuff..."DEICIDE" and "MORBID ANGEL".....both old albums only. 

Deicide's first 4 studio albums..Deicide,Legion,Once Upon The Cross and Serpents Of The Light (1990-1997)are the best.Anything after that,I don't like except for the 5th album Insinneratehymn is ok at time,but not as good as the first 4.  Morbid Angel's first 5 albums kick ass(1989-1998)..after that they suck.  

Old school Black Metal is far more interesting to me than any death metal. But I don't like any "new" black metal bands that come out....the scene is dead and too many bands are just dressing up for an excuse to wear corpse paint and makeup. 

It used to be something hidden and underground/elite back in the early-mid 1990's. I have been into black metal since 1984  when I first hear Venom's At War With Satan album,Mercyful Fate "Don't Break The Oath" album,Bathory,Celtic Frost,Slayer,Possessed....I was into these black metal bands back in the day,and all the way into the early 1990's...except I did'nt hear of the Norwegian scene untill 1993 when the death of Euronymous was in metal magazines.I then ordered Darkthrone's Under A Funeral Moon(1993) from a Hit Parader mag in 1994 I think it was... lol! And then Mayhem,Emperor,ect...so I have been into this genre basically since Venom started it. 

So I have been into "smaller bands" since day one man. I really do not like the majority of heavy metal bands...for instance "Running Wild" I only like "Under Jollly Roger".Rolf Kasperek's vocals are cool on this album,but they are different on the next album "Port Royal" at least they are to me...he seemed to go off on an operetic frenzy from that album on....I just do not care for the songs themselves ..I'm not saying that they are not heavy metal but I just don't like them that much.I guess its like "food"...some of us eat something and love it..others puke it up and can't stand it,no different and no one's opinion is the right opinion,we all just like what we like.

The heavy metal...heavy metal/rock and heavy metal/thrash(not pure thrash but heavy metal thrash) bands that I like and own are:

Black Sabbath
Judas Priest
Motorhead
Saxon
Iron Maiden
Ozzy (Blizzard Of Oz/Diary Of A Madman/Bark At The Moon and No Rest For The Wicked only!
Dio/Heaven & Hell
Pentagram
Old Metallica (I consider them heavy metal)
Exciter
Hallow's Eve
Agent Steel(Skeptics Apocalypse album)
Running Wild(Under Jolly Roger album only)
King Diamond
Deathrow(a band from Germany in the 80's)
Iced Earth(Iced Earth album and Night Of The Stormrider only)

So there are about 16 bands that are heavy metal in one way or another that I like.
