Spectrum of Death is Morbid Saint's first studio album released in 1990. When I first came across this album I wasn't expecting too much from it other than for it to be another Death/Thrash album that I'll enjoy but probably won't think much about after unless I listen to it a few more times. You should've seen the look on my face when I actually listened to it for the first time. It's gonna sound generic but this is one of those albums that'll pump you up with adrenaline and make you want to smash & fuck up anything & everything in your vicinity without a care in the world and I don't say that too much for a lot of the other stuff I've checked out. You can see the effort the band members put into making this album and it shows. It will get you to asking "Why isn't this a lot more popular than it currently is?" and I would 100% agree with you. If you want to get a friend or anyone else you know into Death/Thrash metal then I would highly recommend this album as a starting point or at least one of the starting points.

I'm surprised there are still convos going on in the thread but that's for another time. Anyways I've relistened to the album and I've misjudged the guitar sound. Guess I felt that it was playing the same way throughout the album. Dude I love that Helloween album.

Dokken, Quiet Riot, W.A.S.P., Loudness, Twisted Sister, Guns n Roses, etc. They're the reason I'm into Hard Rock and Heavy Metal.

Perhaps Alice is planning to kill her parents and make it look like an accident.

Finding this album to be a good listen so far.

Yeah AiH doesn't sound bad for a thrash album. It's not the best example but it still does its job.

(This is to make up for my first review on Annihilator) Alice in Hell is Annihilator's first studio album after their formation in 1984. I'll start by saying that this album is a good start for Annihilator and overall I like it. It has one major weakness which does hurt the album for me. The guitar tone gets repetitive after hearing it in the first couple of songs which does make some songs sound the same but with a faster or slower tempo. I'm sure Jeff got his own style but it could've used a little variety. This doesn't make it a bad album by any means but it does weaken it. Overall it's a good album and worth a listen but if you're into more hardcore kinds of metal only then this ain't for you. 6.5/10 Top Picks: 1. Alison Hell 2. Ligeia 3. Schizos (Are Never Alone) Parts I & II

All three albums do have their perks which is awesome.

Time Does Not Heal is Dark Angel's fourth and final album until their initial disbandment in 1992. In my opinion, this is their best album. The drum work from Gene Hoglan is awesome as usual. Now people say they prefer Don Doty over Ron Rinehart but Rinehart's vocals better fit in the case of this album. It helps set the brutal, pessimistic tone the album is going for. The songs may be long but they're definitely able to make you headbang like crazy for a good amount of time. The only criticism for this album is the cover which I don't know what's supposed to be portrayed on it but it doesn't really affect the music so it's no big deal. 9/10 Top Picks: 1. A Subtle Induction 2. Trauma and Catharsis 3. Act of Contrition

Rammstein - Mein Herz Brennt

Genetics are a bitch. The best I can grow is an Afro hopefully. That's why hair pills are a thing.

If only if I could be able to have hair like they did. On another note, I can't help but feel kinda bad for the bands under the record labels at the time because it was either make something non-commercial and risk getting kicked out or squander their potential to make something commercially appealing that they aren't passionate about to keep the record labels happy.

New Jersey based band Overkill released their third album Under The Influence in July of 1988. This is the album where I felt that Overkill began to diversify the sounds in their songs compared to their previous 2 albums which I appreciate not that I hate or dislike the other two since they're good albums too. It's very noticeable in songs such as Mad Gone World, Drunken Wisdom, and Shred. Now, most of the newer sounds ain't nothing masterpiece worthy but the vocals seem to have a little more range in this album which is a plus and helps the songs sound less the same as each other. My final verdict for Under The Influence is 8/10.

Yeah, it's not anything special but it's still worth a listen to. The same goes for Never, Neverland.
