Unashamedly...HEAVY METAL

A Listmania! list by A. B. Kennedy (UK)
 
Open Fire
1.  Open Fire by Alabama Thunder Pussy
The list author says:
  "No fancy gimmicks. Just stripped to the bone HEAVY METAL, with a whisky soaked splash of southern rawk"
£13.63   Used & New from: £6.11
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (1 customer review)

Live Insurrection
2.  Live Insurrection by Halford
The list author says:

Unity
3.  Unity by Rage
The list author says:
  "You don't need to know anything about this band other than this is easily the BEST fist punching riff crunching heavy metal album possibly ever produced. A darn near masterpiece."
Used & New from: £2.99
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Nuclear Fire
4.  Nuclear Fire by Primal Fear
The list author says:
  "Judas Priest's love child. Germany's Primal Fear picked up the flag when Halford left Priest after Painkiller. The vocals sound very very similar to Robs - the songs are all chest beaters"
Used & New from: £6.95

Rock 'N' Roll
5.  Rock 'N' Roll by Motörhead
The list author says:

4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (7 customer reviews)

PROBOT
6.  PROBOT by Probot

4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (25 customer reviews)

Sound of Perseverance
7.  Sound of Perseverance by Death
The list author says:
  "A suffocating experience at first. But after a few listens the skill and complexity of the tracks breaks through. Then you actually start humming some of the melodies! Plus great cover of Painkiller"
Used & New from: £4.72
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews)

Resurrection
8.  Resurrection by Halford
The list author says:

South of Heaven
10.  South of Heaven by Slayer

Spreading the Disease
18.  Spreading the Disease by Anthrax

Dark Hours
20.  Dark Hours by Lion's Share
