Metal Music General - All Sub-Genres Welcome

I love Rage For Order, not as metal as the other Ryche releases from that era but still pretty interesting and full of catchy melodies. Still has the dystopian sci-fi feel to it that I dig in The Warning. I just prefer the more power metal oriented feel of The Warning.

Deeper by Alice Cooper…
 
I was unknowingly at a murder scene one day and this song sums up the weird atmosphere.

Bye bye, Slayer.

@Count Adramélekh Sear  
It’s honestly for the best. Most people remember Slayer for their material from 1983-1990 anyway
 
Good on them for sticking around for almost 40 years though

@Voidhead  
And it’s also a priviledge I get to see them first and last here live last April. 👍

Hell Awaits is the best thrash album

@Lord Hypno  
For me.
 

…no love for South Of Heaven? I think that album is sorely underrated.

A lot of newer thrash metal bands bore me, I hate how all newer thrash has to have those stupid punking “shouting” vocals, lyrics about partying and beer, no melodic sections, and flat sounding “modern” production.
 
Bring back thrash with clean singing and lyrics that aren’t about partying please.

A lot of The Hu, a Mongolian metal band, sounds a bit like country metal.
 
I bet they’d like moonshine.

@Lord Hypno  
Besrial Invasion would like to have a word with you on that one

You know what I love in metal? Dual guitar action.
 
Who are your favorite guitar duos in metal/what are some of your favorite dual guitar parts?

@TheHappySpaceman  
Favorite guitar duos and dual guitar parts…oh boy so many I could list.
 
I’ll go with three off the top of my head: Between the Buried and Me, Protest the Hero, Animals As Leaders.  
As for best dual guitar parts: “Moonlight” by Protest the Hero (they have a lot of great guitar moments) and “Dream the Dead” by Caligula’s Horse.
 
Again, there’s a lot more out there, but that’s just stuff that immediately comes to mind for me.

KING DIAMOND WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY XBOX?

@SNESChalmers  
For me, Queensrÿche’s Chris DeGarmo and Michael Wilton without question have some of my favorite dual guitar parts (Revolution Calling, Another Rainy Night, Empire, and obviously Eyes of a Stranger come to mind). Def Leppard’s first two albums have some surprisingly great parts, too; Overture is full of them, and the intro to Bringin’ on the Heartbreak is iconic.
 
I don’t even think I need to mention Iron Maiden, of course.

@TheHappySpaceman
 
Omg

Speakin of Morbid Angel, I bought a shirt.
 

I think Warlord - Deliver Us is by far my all time favorite metal EP.
 
Anyone here ever listened to the Christian heavy/power metal band Warlord? Deliver Us (EP) and The Cannons of Destruction are both absolutely fantastic albums.

@Lord Hypno  
not yet but I might just do later on.

I was just reminded of a lost classic.
 
 
Anvil, considered one of the founders of heavy metal, only to fall into obscurity come the 90s.

@Galestorm  
Go for it, Warlord is one of the most underrated bands in metal in my opinion.
