I suppose they are but I was thinking more in terms of anthems like:

Wikka-Pharaoh's Awakening
Mercyful Fate-Curse of the Pharaohs
Dio-Egypt(The Chains Are On)
Sarcofagus-Stolen Salvation
Oracle-Spirit of Egypt
Death SS-Black Mummy
Iron Maiden-Powerslave

etc etc etc etc

Wait..was metal artwork not yet put down? I don't feel like going to look back at all the pages at this moment but 'METAL ARTWORK'..even the most typical and generic things that may come to mind certainly rule and that is a fantastic reason..478 then? 479.Metallic odes to Ancient Egypt! There are a ...

Great demos I either hadn't heard or forgot to list previously: 1.Demilich-The Four Instructive Tales of Decomposition 2.Parasite(SWE)-1983 demo(waaay better than the EP) 3.Ras Algethi-Oblita Divinitas 4.Killerhawk-1983 demo 5.Timeghoul-Tumultuous Travelings & Panaramic Twilight 6.Cynic-demo 199...

I've been curious about this ever since I read through that old technothrash thread in the summer of 2007 before joining up. I remember being kind of put off by the Metal Archives profile but since MA is currently experiencing a hard drive failure I'm not able to go refresh my memory. Going to give ...

As usual, I've read through a thread very slowly and hate to comment with an echo of a reply. I think everyone has made some really great points here. I personally don't know anyone in real life who takes heavy metal as a serious art besides my one close friend in the area(who has an account on here...

Some really great stuff uploaded..Legend and H and H probably being my two favorites. Very good melodic,but ballsy,metal and distinctly French. Notre-Dame Estelle Dorves was different but I'm liking it more and more..the cover matches with the music perfectly somehow. Still have to listen to Nightre...

REVEREND BIZARRE - Caesar Forever Yes..I must second this one. This very well could be their best song. It's hard to pick a Bathory song but I'd go with "Blood Fire Death" and also *Manilla Road-Cage of Mirrors *Adramelch-Fearful Visions *Summoning-Elfstone(certainly an epic tune..fitting...

I've heard a lot of really great demos by way of Poisonoise. My favorites have been Max Planck,Black Hole and Killerhawk. However, the best album/band I've ever discovered on Poisonoise would have to be Credo and their brilliant "Paying For Everything" album. I didn't download this for the...

I downloaded Varvar a few months ago from the website: http://holy-warwar.narod.ru/ The tracks are in a different order than on the album and one song might be split into two parts thus you see 9 tracks rather than the 8 listed on the 1994 version. I was looking for it on here too but I either could...

Ah right you are. Don't know how I attributed that comparison to you..must have been the late hour. Some reviewer on Metal Archives made that comparison and spelled it "Pagini." Regardless of the mix up it's some top notch metal indeed. Glad to have found out about this album.

These lists are great and I can't say mine would be that much different from everyone else's. I would have to put both "Crystal Logic" and "The Deluge" but I would also find room for "Mark Of The Beast." Inner Sanctum's "12 A.M" would be a definite for me as w...

I don't know if At War ever posed in a tank but the cover of "Ordered to Kill" has them looking like wannabe Rambo guys. Ehh rappers usually look lazy in weapons poses....

453.Heavy metal bands posing with weapons for photo-shoots(think Brocas Helm,early Emperor,Venom,Hell). I know a lot of black metal bands tend to do this in bad taste but that's no reason not to include this. What other genre of music could ever pull off weapon prop photo-shoots?

Well if it's not a hassle then I would appreciate a PM. I've just been curious to hear "Let Draka" for awhile..it seems like a true oddball metal gem from what I've read. In terms of sharing things online(Thrashmageddon and etc)I hereby promise not to spread it online if uploaded/Pm'ed to ...

Will I ever hear the great and mighty Drakar? I know there was talk about both releases being reissued by I Hate Records but that never seemed to materialize . If anyone can upload "Let Draka" it would be great.
