Judas Priest - Sad Wings of Destiny
Rush - 2112
Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime
Psychotic Waltz - Into the Everflow
The 3rd and the Mortal - Tears Laid In Earth

Not much obscurity this week, but it's what I've been spinning!

The Sentinel wrote:KING DIAMOND: Abigail LP
SCALD: Will of the Gods is Geat Power LP
RIOT: Thundersteel
DISMEMBER: Like an Everflowing Stream LP
ABSU: Sun of Tiphareth LP

That's a great list!

Fear of God - Within the Veil ( why did no one ever tell me about this band?)
Depressive Age - Lying in Wait
Realm - Endless War
Warlord - Deliver Us (still amazing)
Queensryche - Rage For Order

Never listened the old demos - which might be interesting if it has enough Metal moments. The new stuff is ordinary in my opinion. Common vampyr stuff as usual. But in Europe everyone knows how big the german and italian gothic scenes are... wouldn't be surprised if most of european bands of this t...

Let's kickstart this thread again with some tips I got from Rich at after the sabbath!

Have you heard them? Are they any good?

Further discoveries follow! I took a look at the compilation '' Let's die'' by Mystic Records because I heard it was a collection of early Deathrock, Punk and even some Metal https://eu.rymimg.com/lk/o/l/3a7d933189d87ccadcb9af46096ad2f3/2639672.jpg (the cover is pretty Metal right?) Most of the cuts...

Not exactly a rip-off but openings of these two always reminded me of eachother:
Manilla Road- Open the gates http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeZ1uThupso

Amon Amarth - Guardians of Asgaard http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjSDnxHnyYE

Mercury Rising - Building Rome
Kinetic Dissent - Fight No More Forever
Psychotic Waltz - Into the Everflow
Voivod - Angel Rat
Saviour Machine - Saviour Machine

I just discovered In Solitude are playing my town, next week so I'm definitely going to that! Actually pretty darn excited, It's so rare that we get good metal shows up here! Also I might drop by the Hypertension gig the day before if time allows! edit: scratch that seems I can't make it to either g...

Came across the wonderful blog 'The Day After the Sabbath(s)' and this great compilation in particular which explores the same territory as this thread: http://www.aftersabbath.com/2012/04/day-after-sabbath-67-new-order.html i.e 70's bands with a NWOBHM/80's sound, great picks! The rest of the blog ...

I was familiar with "street fighter" but this one took me by surprise! Really a tough son of a bitch! Any other hard hitters in this album?

I'd say 'Street Rats and 'Dog eat Dog'

Many awesome additions lately! I think both of these also qualify as songs anticipating where the genre was gonna go in the 80' ( both from -76)
