What classics do you want to see reviewed?

admin

Agree on Savatage... Like hell that I forgot to mention that album earlier!

Candlemass - "Epicus Doomicus Metallicus" or "Nightfall". If a doom metal CD ever should be reviewed as a classic, it should be one of these!

Celtic Frost - "To Mega Therion" or "Into the Pandemonium". Not my kind of metal but they influenced the extreme metal scene almost as much as Venom and Bathory.

In Flames - The Jester Race

If I do a Celtic Frost classic, it's gonna be Morbid Tales. Into the Pandemonium was lousy, and I never heard To Mega Therion.

Don't know about deathkvlt, though.

To Mega Therion is great album. The Usurper, Dawn of Meggido, Circle of Tyrants, ect. This albums just filled to the brim is wonderful songs.

And you should feel sad for not listening to it.

I suppose I'll try to find it then. Thanks for the recommendation.

I would like to see a review of my all time favourite album Savatage Streets- A Rock Opera, damn people if you guys havent listened to this album you dont know what you are missing, just pure magic, this is one of the most underrated albums ever, noone gives the credit that it deserves.

Like me, for instance. A guy at work lent it to me saying much the same as yourself, but I could just not get into it. Reminded me too much of Extreme. They should have called it A Hair Metal Opera.

Add my name to the list of people that want to see In Flames-The Jester Race as a classic.

Pre-jail Burzum is good. I know it can be hard to stomach the fact that music with bad muscianship and horrible production can be good but it's true.

My Dying Bride-Turn Loose the Swans was a great doom album and very influential on doom in the 90s so I'd like to see it reviewed.

Hvis Lyset Tar Oss is definitley a classic.

First, let me state what a metal "classic" means to me, someone who's been around the block a few times at the ripe old age of 40. A classic is an album that I've had in my collection for at least ten years, preferably 15 or 20, and still finds it's way into my system on a somewhat regular basis. If I haven't listened to it in the past year, it probably isn't a classic in my book...unless it's a lost classic which show up every now and then and totally gets my blood pumping again like it was 1983.

With that in mind, here are a few suggestions (mostly obscure) that really made an impact on my life:

OZZY: Blizzard of Ozz, Diary of a Madman (top of the list)
Savatage: Hall of the Mountain King, Gutter Ballet, Streets
Scorpions: Lovedrive, Animal Magnetism, Blackout
Fates Warning: The Spectre Within, Awaken the Guardian
Blue Oyster Cult: Imaginos
Demon: The Unexpected Guest
Saxon: Wheels of Steel
Riot: Fire Down Under
Michael Schenker Group: Assault Attack
Fastway: Fastway, All Fired Up
Metallica: Kill 'Em All
Rainbow: Rising, Long Live Rock N Roll
Running Wild: Under Jolly Roger
Europe: Wings of Tomorrow
Kick Axe: Vices
Anvil: Metal on Metal, Forged in Steel
Alcatrazz: No Parole From Rock N Roll
Tygers of Pan Tang: Spellbound
Warlord: Best of (hate 'best ofs', but it applies here)
Coney Hatch: Best of (see above)
Malice: License to Kill
KISS: Music from the Elder
Triumph: Allied Forces
RUSH: 2112, Moving Pictures
Great White: Great White
220 Volt: Electric Messengers
Q5: Steel the Light
Talas: Sink Your Teeth Into That
Diamond Head: In the Beginning
Cirith Ungol: Frost and Fire

EGADS! That's a long list. And I'm sure I forgot just as many albums as I mentioned. Well, it's a starter list anyway. Dig deep, rock out.

I wanna see more Savatage... Savatage rules... Anyways, I'd like to see:

Savatage - Hall of The Mountain King, Streets

Those are two amazing albums by an amazing band.
Also (I know its a recent one) but Blind Guardian's "A Night At The Opera" is absolutely amazing.. I've had it for 2 years.. It has never left my CD player and I dont see the day it does coming anytime soon. I know it was reviewed and all, but I didn't see it in the classics, which is where it should be.

I think that would be due to your own personal taste.. 🙂

WinterIsComing

Definitely everything by Dio and Savatage, as well as Rainbow, Doctor Butcher, etc.

Motorhead
Manowar
Lordian Guard
Jag Panzer
Kamelot
King Diamon/Mercyful Fate
Blind Guardian
Tarot
Morgana Lefay

WinterIsComing

Pro-Pain's first 2 albums are absolute classics

Holy_Terror

I would like to see anything by Cirith Ungol....or possibly Agent Steel's Unstoppable Force. It is probably one of the most classic slabs of old school power metal that you can find out there. Hopefully I can renew interest in this album so that John Cyriis reappears..

valefor

VENOM- Black Metal, CELTIC FROST-Morbid Tales, POSSESSED-Seven Churches come to mind.
Is BLACK SABBATH-s/t there yet?

valefor

Add KING DIAMOND-Abigail, Fatal Portrait, Them and MERCYFUL FATE-Melissa, these albums are, in my view, absolutely essential especially Melissa.
V.

Desolate

Abigor: Verwustung -Invoke the Dark Age
Nachthymnen (From the Twilight...)
Bathory: The Return...
Under the Sign of the Black Mark
Burzum: Burzum
Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
Cradle of Filth: Dusk... and Her Embrace
Darkthrone: A Blaze in the Northern Sky
Under a Funeral Moon
Transilvanian Hunger
Enslaved: Frost
Eld
Gorgoroth: Under the Sign of Hell
Immortal: Battles in the North
Marduk: Opus Nocturne
Satyricon: Dark Medieval Times
Nemesis Divina
Venom: Black Metal

And this is only BM classics :twisted:
Hvis Lyset Tar Oss is 100% a classic and the best album Varg ever created, but if we forget for one moment that it ever existed...
:roll:
then Burzum will take it's place! You can't even describe the hate that dwells on this opus... The horrors that are about to consume you together with all your feelings...
Behold! The Dawn of Burzum! ...

Shut up already! Just be silent and enjoy It.

I feel sorry for those who can't understand this type of music...

P.S. I really don't get it, is it a joke that In the Nightside Eclipse isn't a CLASSIC? :shock:

Dead_Machine

Ask valefor if it's a joke. Personally, I don't find it to be very funny.

Maybe, at that point, everyone was adverse to the idea of black metal classics.
