Much better than the other one since this one tells me genres. I hate seeing a new release just to find out it's a genre I'm not fond of.

I was going to make a post highlighting the new release. It is my most anticipated album is years, they are the most important thrash band of the new era in my opinion

New album by Redemption is pretty great. Apart from that one The Who cover, the entire album is pretty damn engaging. I love how good Ray Alder sounds on this record, not that he ever sounds less than stellar. Bandcamp link for those interested:

Forgot to mention that the new Voivod EP is also pretty great. RIP Piggy. Link for those interested:

Master of Puppets is 30 years old today......... It is officially "classic rock".
Scary,
Scary,
Didn't see anyone faint, but on Cerise, Papa took the hand of a girl in the front row and lifted her up on stage. "Can't you see that you're lost without me"
If I was that girl I'd have a fucking heart attack and just die on the spot. Also never wash my hand. She probably won't.
Next show for me is Avantasia next week. I was really hyped about it, but after this Ghost show.... let's say it's a hard thing to top.

Speaking of 30 year old albums, 1986 was a pinnacle year for metal.
Metalica - Master of Puppets
Megadeth - Peace Sells…But Who's Buying
Anthrax - Among The Living
Dark Angel - Darkness Descends
King Diamond - Fatal Portrait
Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Kreator - Pleasure To Kill
Sodom - Obssessed By Cruelty
Destruction - Eternal Devastation
Voivod - Rrroooaaarrr
Assassin - The Upcoming Terror
Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time
Fates Warning - Awaken The Guardian
Slayer - Reign In Blood
Metal Church - The Dark
Onslaught - The Force
Possessed - Beyond The Gates
All of it still sounds fresh like it was just yesterday.

pretty sure Among the Living is '87, but great one nonetheless. I always wanted to hear the deluxe remaster.
and speaking of Obsessed by Cruelty, a very cool 2LP edition is about to drop courtesy of Wax Maniax, who just put out the Eternal Nightmare reissue. It combines the both the original version, which Americans have been listening to for ages, and the re-recorded European version which by most accounts is the superior take and it includes "After the Deluge".
it releases March 25th. The distribution will be pretty good for this one so check your brick and mortar. Amazon has it up for pre-order as well. You can also order direct.

Cyclone! I have a beat up vinyl of that. Angel Dust - Into The Dark Past is damn killer too. Exumer! Running Wild in the middle of that somewhere. Fuck, Germany was on fire.

three more for the '86 kvlt.
Vulcano - Bloody Vengeance
NME - Unholy Death
Morbid Angel - Abominations of Desolation
cheating with the last one, but it would look pretty out of place in a '91 list, I think. And it fucking rules so forget the technicalities.
edit: and another one for the kvlt.
Messiah - Hymn to Abramelin
Vulcano - Bloody Vengeance
NME - Unholy Death
Morbid Angel - Abominations of Desolation

Yep, insane year. All of these haven't aged one bit, still amazing music and better than 99% of what comes out today (including metal releases).
But you and Bitnator disappoint me...
you forgot a very important and amazing 1986 release...
xD Kidding! I meant these of course:

I know it's not a popular opinion, but I think Turbo is awesome and with some of their most addicting songs..

nice, missed the box set. And I hate box sets haha.
I'd add Queensryche's Rage for Order. My personal favorite.
Damn. Haven't really kept up with new thrash wave bands since '11, but vektor is quickly becoming my fav. Up there with toxic holocaust for me.

Manilla Road is a damn classic, how could I not put that.
Hexx - Under the Spell is another great release from 86, during the era of them being like Metal Church's little brother music wise
Splatterpunk

Another 86 classic.
The Accused and Cryptic Slaughter both released great crossover records too. And while it wasn't actually released as an album until 89, the fact that Repulsion's Horrified was recorded (and nearly released) in 86 still blows my mind.

86 for the unholy thrash trinity: pleasure to kill, darkness descends, and reign in blood.

Absolutely. They're the best new-school thrash band going right now. I don't state this lightly, either. They've become one of my all-time favorite thrash metal bands, period. Sci-Fi or Die. :]
A month or so ago, Spotify Discovery recommended me Bloody Hammers.
I've been kind of obsessed with them since then. I don't even know how I never knew about them... it's awesome. If you know anything similar, occult-themed (apart from Ghost) do share. Seems like I've been missing out on some Satanic rituals and witches.

Good day for new music.
Ripper Experiment of Existence lives up to its bands name. Very prominent bass and reminds me a lot of Frank Bello or Dave Ellefson in that regard. Some heavy thrashers here.
Myrath Legacy is a total shock to me. I read they were power metal and thought cool I will check that out but their more a progressive power metal orchestra experience. This, THIS is what Dream Theater should be and not that lame ass ballad generator they are. Love the mix too. The orchestra is subtle and not harsh.
Still can't listen to the new Anthrax on Play. Album only has two songs but the songs I've heard so far didn't really do anything for me. So meh...

I absolutely love Ripper. Total fucking violence from a young bunch of shredders. Real morbid thrash.

I must have got distracted the first time I listened to this because I just heard Chromatic Fantasy...holy shit. Only other bass player I've heard do that was Pastorius.

Saw GBK at Hammer Open Air, 2010, in Finland, but now it seems I'm going to miss Profanatica this month.
Very cool, thats for posting. Reminds me of Morbid Vision's Sepultura.
I found myself in a video from the Nightwish concert in Montreal. Surreal to see myself rockin out in the massive crowd, and right near the front, too!
Suddenly glad I wore a bright blue shirt that day! lol
6:00 to 6:25 in the video - I kind of lost control of myself I was so damned excited. I was definitely jumping around a bit more than a lot of people around me, lol.

Finally got into Morbid Angel. Pretty dope.

First time here, I think (I drink a lot)
Been listening to a shitload of metal lately though. Got into Gojira late last year, found out about Avantasia and Eluvetie (whose name I can't bother to look up the proper spelling for (folk metal for you huh?)) this year, finally got around to checking out Lamb of God, and right now am jammin' to Equilibrium.
Oh, and I was at one of those Nightwish concerts last week!
But mostly here to share the new All Hail the Yeti tune
Before the Flames
Being honest, I usually avoid big metal threads like these because my tastes tend to hit more mainstream routes which don't always win me favors D: Hoping to scroll through and find some new bands I've never heard of though. THus far 2015 was a good year for that, and 2016 is already starting off damn well.

Being a sucker for older Katatonia (Rapture, Daylight Dies, etc) I like to see October Tide is still putting out new material. And nice to hear Normann brothers in action.
Also, the new Cult of Luna track sounds sublime. This is probably old, but you can newer have enough Cult of Luna

Julie Christmas is working with them!? Holy fuck. I'm so glad she hasn't dropped off of the face of the planet. <3
AC/DC is finished. First, Malcolm leaves, Rudd thrown out, and now Brian Johnson is facing total hearing loss.
Time to retire.
