MIGHTY SPHINCTER are great. This one's a great gothic/deathrock song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zj1DsbBAhoY while tunes like "Bag lady" or "New manson family" qualify themself as metal songs. Yes you'll see I mentioned them a bit up. Great band indeed! @nightsblood thanks a ...

That early punks liked? Punk and HM didn't really get along well for the first couple of years! But some bands blending the two: Brats ( the band that would lead up to Mercyful Fate, kind of hard to imagine), the Plastmatics

Would Devil Doll qualify, at least on the first album? Also, I think Arpia fits, at the very least very dark and atmospheric stuff with doom passages. They left metal after the 80's from what I can tell, however. Oh, and Stillborn is definitely goth metal done properly, first album a bit more aggre...

The first two Voivod records as well as Carnivore should be up your alley.

Here's a suggestion from me: http://eu.rymimg.com/lk/f/l/96bef916e95914596397e588f6ee635f/1865045.jpg Thanks a lot! 'much obliged!Also wow on the Black Metal vocal approach it' like a metal infused SWANS or something. Sounds like Post-Metal before that was even remotely a ''thing'' Edit: after list...

I feel like there is some NWOBHM/early US band with a very laid back style and a lot of mood that might fit this thread, but the name totally escapes my mind.

Killer suggestion again Prowler! What a gem! Many thanks!

While my biggest area of interest in music is Heavy Metal (duh!) I do have an affinity for the early Post-punk and goth scene. From around 1979 to 1988. And for a while I've been pondering doing a write up about the concept of Gothic Metal, If it does exist at all? What the trappings of this maybe-g...

Especially liked the guitars! Good stuff, again!

Black Sabbath - S/T
Voivod - Nothingface
Deathrow - Deception Ignored

Trying to hunt down as many of my favorite albums as I can!

I don't keep up with current Metal as much as I should, so these are like the only albums I've heard this year and I haven't even listened that much to them: Procession - to Reap the Heavens Apart. Candlemass meets Primordial Voivod- Target Earth, Don't call it a comback, but a great return to form ...

You can also check this thread too : http://www.thecorroseum.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=6621 :wink: That's a neat thread I missed it because I assumed it would mostly be NWOBHM demos! Thanks! I know about Buffalo and sir Lord Baltimore. But IMO SLB sound more 70's to me, I'm sort of looking for son...

Had a look though that thread before I started this one :/ was hoping that by ressurecting the topic I'd get some new answers.

Hey guys I've been digging through a lot of 70's proto-Metal/Heavy Prog/Psych bands these past few months and I started thinking about what songs from the 70's that come the absolute closest to what we today would define as Heavy Metal. Here are some of my picks: Thin Lizzy - Emerald Quartz - Mainli...

The local radio station was selling out their Archive of LP's, sadly most of the good stuff had been picked already. But I managed to find Scamps - Love Toaday Hate Tomorrow / Crystal Night. Great piece of FWOSHM from my hometown! Also picked up Into the Mirror Black in Prague last week. Great find...
