"Slayer's once banned 1986 classic, 30 odd minutes of some of the most violent music ever recorded. One of extreme metals most kick ass productions from Rick Rubin"
"More of a compilation - This was the VERY first Thrash/Black album i ever bought back in '86 - A total racket at times but Mantas is actually a really good guitar player!"
"First album 18 months after Newsted left for Metallica in late'86. Better songs than Doomsday For The Deceiver (bass isnt as good though). Escape From Within is a quality 'ballad' style epic!"
"Awesome album from early 1990. Death Angel's most mature/diverse album. This is simply a great Metal album. Rob Cavestany will BLOW you away with the guitar work"
"1987 Concept album, great gothic story and a real guitar driven album, loads of duelling solos. Mikkey Dee is brilliant on drums & this is King's best ever vocals"
"1990 - Hardcore Punk with a strong Metal vibe! Ridiculously catchy, in your face! Lots of bass and lead guitar - BIG influence on Metallica, Slayer, Death Angel..."
"This 1988 Doom Metal classic is Epic from start to finish - The vocals are maybe the best on any Metal release from a pure technical pov. No growls or grunts, just powerful & clean!"
"1987. I can remember buying this on Import on vinyl - At that time it looked like Helloween could overtake Metallica! Very much in the style of Priest/Maiden with high vocals but much faster!"
"1984. The only band on the list with 2 entries on the list. Metallica's darkest , death obsessed second album was a milestone. Fade To Black is the definitive Thrash Metal ballad"
