Dont forget good ol king diamond, rising force & dio. I like a lot of new but I know my shit. For me it started with slayer, maiden, sod, kreator, dark angel & death.

I wrote etc... haha,
King Diamond, I havent listened to his solo albums yet but if they are like Mercyful Fate I should love em. I got into metal at 16 so I am late and mashing like 30-40 years of music into my head, while learning to play gutiar, and trying to understand music theory. Brain is flooded, all this while I work and train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, looking to start eating like a bodybuilder soon too, gain some weight so that's gonna be a whole other scheduele fucker/organizer.

If by rising force you mean Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force, look a couple of pages back at my posts, I'm a huge Yngwie fan, he's my favorite guitarist followed by Akira Takasaki,

When I was first starting out listening to metal Slayer sounded like death metal sounds like to me now, like wtf is this? that's why I agreed with what Luci said before, because now Slayer is one of my favorites and a perfect example of metal.

Maiden is God, nuff said

Kreator basically was the same like slayer, once I could accept heavier shit, I was like how did I not hear this the first listen, Kreator is amazing.
(Hey Luci, I liked Phantom Antichrist more after a couple of listens through, I remember you said you were kind of dissapointed with it, I was too for some reason but after a couple maybe it just grew on me)

SoD,Anrhrax,Dark Angel,Death are all great bands, never liked Anthrax or Sod as much as other thrash bands though, even though they are from NY, maybe that's what makes me want them to be better than I feel they are(compared to their peers not any band (Thank God for OVERKILL)
also Death I like the music but don't really like Chuck Schuldiner's vocals as much as I know they are praised (Abbath of Immortal does it right for me when it comes to those type of vocals).
Never looked into Dark Angel too much I think I would always mixed up them and Death Angel.

Dio was the messiah, jews fucken missed out, Elf, Raibow, Dio Sabbath/Heaven and Hell. Everything he touched became instantly Godlike even guest appearances

Masterful


later, but one of Sabbaths most Menacing songs and dio lyrics/vocal preformances, sealing them as the best even at that age, Sabbath are the Godfathers


Overlooked Sabbath album (I feel) one of my favorites

best version

I'm still pretty disappointed with Phantom Antichrist. I think the last 3 albums where better. I think the first half of Phantom Antichrist is much better than the second, with the title track maybe being the best song.

WHOS THE MOST SATANIC IN METAL?

I answered Rob Zombie...

Changes answer to

Tom Araya!!!

There exists a place of agony
Where children are held captive
Belt across the back, the nuns attack
Believe in god or be beaten to death
Work to earn your keep, no time to sleep
You better know the bible verse
Or go without and die of thirst
Resent your birth - thanks to god!!!


At Father Baker's the pain is divine
If you are lucky you'll get out alive
Welcome to terror, you're where you belong
Father is waiting to show you your wrong
Learn early on to behave or you'll die

Live with his torture, no one to confide
Innocence lost by the rage he inflicts
Repent to god or the pain will persist

Kept inside a cage, humiliate
Till Father takes confession
Whipped unmercifully and left to bleed
And by the end to be one with god
Fast you into place, the final phase
Before you meet his maker
Do as you are told or you will go
And then you'll know what is suffering

Rotting away, by myself in this cage.
I'm forgotten by time,
I've lost track of how long it's been.
Guts churn with cramps, have not eaten for days.
Look upon my own flesh, with disgust as I salivate.

I've survived for days on my own shit, urine and blood.
Nothing left to consume.
There is no course of action left for me I fear.
Let the Final Supper begin.

Sickening pain, teeth tearing thru skin,
the crunching of fat, muscle, sinew now shredded meat.
This makes me sick, rancid gorge fills my throat,
but I swallow it down, mustn't waste this last meal.

Now frenzy has begun, masticating my own tongue,
I'm choking, laughing at my own futility.
Tear my scalp and wolf it down, hair tickling
in my throat causing me to gag and disgorge it painfully.

What next to eat? I grope between my thighs
and I scream as I rip at my own turgid appendage.
Ah but it's sweet! The taste of bitter sperm;
my foul fetid reek, a bouquet for the banquet.

Fluids draining, vitals waning,
frenzied in this hell sustaining
teeth red scything, maxillating, a feast of self mutilation.

Now for dessert, I'll extricate my eyes,
pop them in my mouth still attached to the nerves.
Bursting as I bite,
my brain overloads.
The pain sends my body into shock and then I die.

I am a fan of DECIDE...
