There are only 2 albums in the competition and that are 'Black Sabbath'
and 'Vol 4'

Such scales are silly at best.
Anyway, which song on them tops such tunes as 'a mansion in darkness' or
'The black horsemen'. Further, I like conspiracy (?= them 2) better than
them. And the 1st Mercyful fate albums better

Heh. From what i've seen so far in this thread, my list is going to be a
bit out of place...

But here it is anyway:

Anthrax - Sound of White Noise
Armored Saint - Delirious Nomad
Armored Saint - Symbol of Salvation
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Celtic Frost - Into the Pandemonium
Dream Theater - Images and Words
Fates Warning - The Spectre Within
Fates Warning - Awaken the Guardian
Front Line Assembly - Millennium
Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys II
Judas Priest - Defenders of the Faith
Judas Priest - Painkiller
Metal Church - The Human Factor
Motorhead - Bastards
Overkill - The Years of Decay
Overkill - WFO
Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime
Savatage - Gutter Ballet
Slayer - Hell Awaits
Testament - The New Order

OK, that looks good... but it's hard to pick 20 out of 750... So chances
are, if i were to do this tomorrow, it'd look totally different. ;)

Well, after hours of thinking ;-), I have made the final results for the ->
1990
K.D. albums.
They are (scale 1 - 10 000):
Abigail 9986, 342 points
Them 9991, 118 points
Conspiracy 9984, 735 points
The Eye 9989, 007 points

(...and this is pure silliness !)


>Anyway, which song on them tops such tunes as 'a mansion in darkness' or
>'The black horsemen'. Further, I like conspiracy (?= them 2) better than
>them. And the 1st Mercyful fate albums better

Never really cought the MF atmosphere. Maybe it愀 too eeeviiiil for me ;-)

And songs as Welcome Home, The Invisible Guests, Tea and Mother愀 Getting
Weaker (yes, all the 'real' songs on A side) are so goddamn perfect that
only
the two you already mentioned, plus Omens (the godly opening riff !) and
Abigail
can in some way compete with them. Both albums are indeed outstanding.

Conspiracy is rather disappointing, again the best songs are on the
first side (superb At The Graves and A Visit From The Dead). My
dream-come-true would however be Andy doing an album full of those acoustic
intros as on Sleepless Nights and A Visit From The Dead. I fly when I listen
to those parts.
Then Cremation is amazing, what a classy melody. Lies is sometimes annoying
and the rest is also somewhat ordinary ie nothing way too special.

The Eye was a comeback to the major league again. Every song is crushing, my
personal favorites are though 1642 Imprisonment, Burn, The Curse and Eye Of
The Witch (the verse B, oh yes !!)

(A strange combination: Akira Kurosawa movie and King Diamond... still,
works for me !)

Voodoo is pretty good too. And I do like Spiders lullaby too. But then
again, I like *all* the MF albums a lot.

I don't give a rat's ass about leads intros or whatever filling is used.
Give me riffs and fat rhythms anytime. Besides, for that, KD and MF add
some cool vocals.

Good, now it愀 sure then. (Haven愒 bothered to check the K.D pages around

No, I don't.... Guess jimi hendrix don't count, since his entire ouevre
consists solely of solos ;-) Anyway Slayer has 7 in a row in Praise of
death (of which one is bass) + 2 others. But I guess Stalinorgel by
Sodom has many more, since it has a (at least) two quite short for each
time the choruses are sung. (I estimate 12-14 solos in total)

Absolutely: Blasphemous definitely has it figured it out. . . both
CDs are well worth getting. In all honesty, it seems that Slavic NS
bands are currently leading the pack of relevant BM.

I highly recommend "The Night and The Fog" compilation from Dungeons
of Darkness (which AFAIK is now defunct). If you can manage to get
your hands on a copy, its well worth it. 16 bands, including
Graveland, Veles, Fullmoon, Absurd, Thor's Hammer, Perunwit, etc.

So actually the greatest number of solos in one song is, according to
you, one?

ROFL! That was a good one, phobo. ;) I practically drowned in the

By far, Angel Dust is one of the most under-rated albums of all time.

Always worth putting on a Top albums list (although King For A Day should
get more recognition as being a masterpiece of weirdness :P)

'California' should be interesting to hear tho.. :P

I disagree. They actually have quite a decent number of key changes,
time signature changes, tempo changes, etc. which they manage to do so
seamlessly and musically that the music can sound deceptively simpler
than it is. . . I'm far more impressed by bands that can have complex
changes and dont draw attention to them then those bands who have the
member who took one theory course and needs to go "look ma, another
modulation!"

Your opinion, just like many others. I have Satyricon's Nemesis Divina as
well but not the DB disc yet.

Where do you get Gothic here? They are Death Metal with classical
overtones throughout the entire disc, nice interludes, etc...

So you also don't think they have too many people (15 or so)??

A worthless post but I just had to say that Faith No More are classic IMO !!
Every album is good and King For A Day... is the absolute rocker !!!
