Right on D.O.E.,yeah Bathory..Quorthon's vocals on Twilight Of The Gods are alittle bit 'out of control" and kinda irritating,but the music is like you say..its very deep. I really like Bathory's first 4 albums the best.

Have you ever heard Bathory "Blood On Ice"?  It have the same vocals as Twilight,but the music is alittle better even I thought.

Manilla Road I have heard because "Fenriz" of Darkthrone suggested this album before. Interesting album for 1983.

		MANILLA ROAD                     CRYSTAL LOGIC                                   1983 Great album of straightforward US Heavy Metal, very very good, with great guitars and a very good vocalist. This is a band I am discovering and this album in particular is the one fans recommend to start exploring this legendary, even if under rated band: MANILLA ROAD!

You Know I bought that album as a Import before they were even famous.... I head it on a program called out of the attic. A show on at midnight every saturday nite when I lived in Florida, where they play new music, ect.. no-one even heard of them, So I called a record store and they ordered the album for me....  Funny thing is no-one I know like that album.. or the band.   Then a few years later on,, all those people were like oh yeah this album is awesome...  I was like whatever.

LOL... It was a fluke thing that I heard it that nite..

You as well as I are two metalheads that can't get enough of "metal" like a drug or something like that,its very addictive and very rewarding!   Once I heard and saw the Video "Heading Out To The Highway" in 1981 when MTV first started,I was shocked at how great this band was....and then a year later came Screaming For Vengeance and it almost literately blew my fuckin mind!!! The image,the sound,Judas Priest in general..it all just knocked my head into metal submission!! I've been the same ever since,I know that other styles of music can also be rewarding in its own way,but I can never cross over that bridge...its metal for life hellrider!!!!!!!!

I don't look down on people who "do like a little bit of everything"...but when I tell them I only like hard rock the classic style(AC/DC...Sabbath)and metal traditional metal...they kinda look at me like I am weird.As I have said MG,I admit I am a very narrow-minded person when it comes to music! lol!      MG_Metalgoddess wrote:   Mg is wondering if J.D.

DIAMOND wrote:   RUNNING WILD   UNDER JOLLY ROGER    1987 This band sucks throughout thier career in my opinion,but this album is the only listenable album from Running Wild to me,its still not that "great" but the vocalist does not try and whale operetic vocals on this album,its more of a mid-range Paul Di Anno (when Paul is not screaming in high pitch)type of vocal style.And the songs are ok,not giving this album an "A" in grading but rather a C+.Still,a worthy "heavy metal album" with no thrash qualities here,just heavy metal. Not one of my favorite albums,but as I mentioned..a little cheesy,but a worthy heavy metal album I guess. Edited at: Friday, April 17, 2009 4:34:08 AM

Iced Earth's 1998 release, Something Wicked this way Comes, pt. 1.  

It's good to see you too, Deep Freeze. Let's just say that I'm surviving. I'm not around that often, because the recession is kicking my ass. I have too much on my plate right now. I will make a comeback when I have my life back together.

I'm a big fan of all the stuff Iron Maiden put out during the Di'Anno era, but I also love the material Di'Anno released during his solo career. Some of this solo stuff, like the 1992 "Murder One" album pictured above, is top notch.  Check out these two terribly underrated songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuP3RRB4zhY&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-Pq37qXMVw&feature=related    (Quoting Message by J.D.

I used to have this EP on vinyl when it came out in 1983.......the sad thing is that I don't even freakin "remember" what ever happened to it? lol!     (Quoting Message by Painkiller87 from Saturday, April 18, 2009 9:06:52 PM)   Painkiller87 wrote:   Piece of Mind - Iron Maiden Love this album.
