RelentlessOblivion

This time tomorrow I'll be on a plane heading to Singapore. Wow that came up quick.

Really not in the right mood for power metal and sad to say that's not a great example of the style so 3/10

We South Australians can take the heat, of course being Victorian you wouldn't know anything about that in Victoria (or should I say second England?). Go Power and fuck the GRS #robbed.

Because they don't share any sonic similarity to the NWOBHM and pre-date the movement. This is something which has been repeatedly discussed so I'm not exactly rushing to cover old ground.

Celebration

Prison

I'd recommend Angel Witch, must admit I'm not overly across the NWOBHM. Also not to be that guy but Judas Priest, Mötorhead, and Venom were never part of the NWOBHM.

Welcome to the MetalForum family. If you need anything myself and the other moderators will be happy to help. See you 'round.

Hope all goes well for your dad Nat.

Oh it's pretty simple. I'm just posting 1 track from every album I own going alphabetically by band. Just one more SadEx song to go now. Anyway 7.5/10 I feel like I should look into those guys some more.

Energetic

10 days to go now. Can't wait for this trip. 3 days in Singapore, 2 in Ho Chi Minh City, 1 in Denang and 3 in Hannoi.

No need to even click the play button. Classic 9/10

I agree and that was kind of my point. The bands innovating and breaking new ground stand out more these days. That's not to say they are better just that they exist at a time when metal has stagnated somewhat. In the golden age it must have been so difficult to stand out because just about every great band was crafting a unique sound.

I was more referring to the fact that these days it's mostly death, doom, and black metal giving us quality. Bands like Grave Miasma, Ulcerate, Ahab, Akercocke, 1349 and Black Harvest for example. By comparison the diversity of the eighties/nineties was stunning. We had Coroner, Candlemass, Bathory, Death, Fates Warning, Iron Maiden, Blind Guardian...the list just keeps going. Little wonder then that so many modern bands take inspiration from their predecessors
