Probably better off without him, I say.

Though I prefer Killers to Piece of Mind, and Piece of Mind to Number of the Beast, and Number of the Beast to Seventh Son, I still understand why a lot of people would consider the latter their best. It's a very good record with a few bad tracks ('The Prophecy' anyone?) with amazing atmosphere, whi...

I don't mind the allcaps and font, I found lots of good info on technothrash (you call it 'progressive thrash' which isn't exactly the same but most of the bands you name suchwise interest me) there, great resource, thank you for putting all that effort into it.

I heard some high-ranking japanese political figure is into power metal?

Confessor - Condemned (remaster)

Still trying to find this, actually.

Lordian Guard - Lost Archangel

Living Death - Wood of Necrophiliac

From this post I gather what I belive also to be worthwhile and add my own recommendations. Morbid Angel - Altars and Blessed only. Especially Blessed.

The second biggest sin

wait... dare I ask what was the first?

I have A Social Grace cd on 4 different editions, heh. I should put one of them on the wall. I have a cd-r copy from a friend, one that metal hammer gr have with the magazine once, one original old copy and one from the new reissues.

I also have Awaken the Guardian like, 3 times around the house.

I've seen exactly two people, one was bald, Ion. They were probably the same people. Noisenik, I love the first two too, but if I am to make a shirt, I'll use the Live and Archives image because simply, it's the best image Mike Clift ever did for Psychotic Waltz as far as I'm concerned. http://image...
