Ah a voluntary body, makes a change.. I hope you found it adequate np. Carcass - Heartwork

I was in the boot. Sorry about that, daylight crept up on me and I couldn't get back to my sarcophagi quickly enough and needed a dark place.

It's nearly been two years since I last posted a list here, and I have covered every year from 1992-2016 in this thread. My 2017 and 2018 lists are in their own threads. I really want to look back further and move into the 80s to see what I can come up with. Without second wave black metal and gothic doom I have a feeling we'll be seeing a bit of hair metal... So here we go again: Requiem's Top 10 Albums of 1991 10. Dismember - 'Like an Ever Flowing Stream' This is the era where death metal reigned, and I'm not the hugest fan of death metal. Nevertheless, this classic is a special album, with great production and a real sense of authenticity. I play this album all the time. Epic album artwork. 9. Carcass - 'Necroticism - Descanting the Insalubrious' This tends to be as rough as I go with Carcass, and I think they got the balance pretty right here. Those British medical voiceovers, the great guitar riffs and the songmanship all make this an enjoyable listen, especially when I'm feeling like severing a few limbs.... Unusual and imaginative album cover. 8. Bathory - 'Twilight of the Idols' I definitely prefer 'Hammerheart' to this, but dammit there's something so engaging about Quorthon's vocals and that big epic sound of his. The last song proper, confusingly called 'Hammerheart', reminds me too much of a hymn we sang at school, 'I Vow to Thee My Country' but apparently they're both based on a Holst work, so I guess it's ok. Suitably viking album cover. 7. Cathedral - 'Forest of Equilibrium' I don't love this as much as the hardcore fans out there, and sometimes I find it a bit dull, but overall this is a special moment in time that I do enjoy quite a lot when I'm in the right mood. Brilliant Dave Patchett artwork. 6. Type O Negative - 'Slow Deep and Hard' I'm a late convert to this album, and I think it generally performs well in a weaker year for my personal musical taste. Still, there's no arguing with the foundation of the great Type O sounds of the future. I'm still not a huge fan of the humour. Foolish album cover. 5. Darkthrone - 'Soulside Journey' Bloody great album, this. Obviously more death metal than black, this still nevertheless exudes the vibe that really resonates with me, and it's basically just a really cool album. The album cover is strange but excellent - I really love it. 4. Skid Row - 'Slave to the Grind' Lifelong classic in Castle Requiem, I still remember the first time I heard it back in 1991 as an 11 year old. I still feel that same thrill today, 28 years later. Sebastian Bach's voice is off the charts on songs like 'Monkey Business' and 'Quicksand Jesus'. Weird album cover but I'm used to it - apparently a painting by Sebastian's father. 3. Guns n Roses - 'Use Your Illusion II' I'm not listening to this every day, but this album is an out and out classic. I don't rate the first 'Use Your Illusion' anywhere near this masterpiece, as tracks like 'You Could Be Mine', 'Locomotive', 'Estranged' and 'Pretty Tied Up' are just next level. They should have released the best songs from this plus 'November Rain' and made it a single album. But no... Album covers for these are pretty dumb, even though they come from a Raphael masterpiece. 2. Paradise Lost - 'Gothic' A monolithic album that created a genre (more or less). This is a special album that contains an atmosphere that would really shape my listening habits throughout my life. Morose riffs, gothic atmosphere, some female vocals, all laying down the archetypes. Again, strange album cover but it's very effective. 1. Ozzy Osbourne - 'No More Tears' Ah Ozzy. It's no secret that I'm an Ozzy tragic and this would be up in my top three or four of his albums. I've sort of overplayed this over the years, but it's one classy album that has become a full on classic. The title track alone is worthy of placing this at number 1. Brilliant album cover of classy Ozzy.

Are you sure you weren't in my car? you've made me want to listen to that Rancid, I'll have to get it out later.

Honestly I don't know that any of those albums would make my top 10. Let's find out shall we? In no particular order here are RelentlessOblivion's Top 10 Thrash Metal albums Coroner - No More Colours Vektor - Black Future Dark Angel - Darkness Descends Morbid Saint - Spectrum Of Death Artillery - By Inheritance Hobb's Angel Of Death - Hobb's Angel Of Death Sabbat - Dreamweaver Sepultura - Schizophrenia Demolition Hammer - Epidemic Of Violence Razor - Evil Invaders

Hmm... Metal Church wasn't really thrash anymore by the time Mike Howe joined, and while I would have picked different albums for most of the band's you listed, none of these bands would occupy my Top 10 thrash list at all. Off the top of my head, mine would probably look like this: Coroner - Punishment for Decadence Dark Angel - Darkness Descends Realm - Endless War Voivod - Killing Technology Razor - Violent Restitution Vektor - Black Future Holy Moses - Finished With the Dogs Znöwhite - Act of God Morbid Saint - Spectrum of Death Sabbat - Dreamweaver Sent from my HTC6535LVW using Tapatalk
