2 words: Michael Jackson :lol:

seriously i have to confess i wasnt into Brian Ross vocals when i first heard Satan like 4 years ago, instead my first album talking about this thread was Pariah-The Kindred which i think is pretty cool, but honestly is not the best album i have ever heard,seems that they werent sure to play "thrashy metal" or rough straight-forward heavy metal,which at the end is cool cause it gives the album some personality

now everything has changed and definetly my fave album has to be Court in The Act! :D

Brian Ross has his voice still in shape btw!

I vouch that, those who were at KIT probably remember his ass kicking perfomance on the SATAN track at the NWOBHM anniversary.

On a sidenote, i think his godliest perfomance was on BLITZKRIEG's "Time of changes", a masterpiece that's easily among the best 5 NWOBHM albums as far as i am concerned. On tracks like "Armageddon" or "Vikings" there's no other option for me than to kneel down and worship those masters of metal...

Blitzkrieg demo's > ATOC.

I don't like the sound on that album, the demo's have a much purer sound.

I don't get it, what do you mean by ''purer''? Does ATOM sound to you more commercial, more radiofriendly, less metallic or what? C'mon man, there's nothing wrong with the demos or the 7", but imo the LP pretty much obliterates anything they've done before (and after...) that. It's one of those few albums that i love every single second of it. Holy hell, only the mentioning of the tracklist sends shivers up and down my spine.

The production (partially) ruins the magic of those songs for me. I much prefer the rawer originals.

That's a point I never get.... I grew up listening to rehearsals, demos, lives and hell I never judged the band on the sound.... this is the music that counts, not some production.... you can get the best production you want but if the band can't write a riff to save their ass, it won't change anything!
"CITA" is purely awesome just like SATAN's set was at Wacken in recent years. Just basing on this live recording you can see how the band was superior to mannnyyyyy other bands around (or with the '83 November dates)....

I think the whole "Melodic Metal" term is being thrown around here too often lately.

I mean, 80% of "Heavy Metal" is melodic...

The Blind Fury album is just straightforward Heavy Metal.


Aside from that, I don't really know where I stand with these bands.

I really enjoy everything from Satan to the second Pariah album.

I'm very partial to Thrash though and I think the only pure Thrash album the band ever put out was "The Kindred" so I'll have to go with that as perhaps my favorite, at least for now.

gimme some "Broken Trities" and i'll have a ball!

Pariah were ok ,not much of a classic but ok. The later Satan stuff were ok as well but i have a thing with Heavy Metal bands goin' Thrash. Ok ,i dig Thrash alot but let the Thrashers do the talkin'. I mean Mille can't come up with a great Heavy Metal album so Satan couldn'tr come up with a great Thrash album (generally speakin' that is)........

Thrash...come opn let's be serious.... the fact that they got their music a bit harder/ faster doesn't mean they were writing Thrash... there's a big difference between faster Metal and Thrash. It's just so silly to see so many bvands these days labelled as Thrash when NOBODY at the time would call them Thrash....

Dunno man ,maybe i need to give the later Satan stuff a couple of more spins.

ok ,Satan ain't no Thrash band that's for sure since they're loved for CITA but their later stuff gave me such impression.

Oh well ,maybe i need my ears checked............

Well if you remain with that Thrashing opinion, then I advice you to consult an earing specialist hehe...

you're right. Did my refreshin' on that stuff. No thrash ,that's for sure. I remember checkin' em out some 10 years ago. Didn't do it for me ,still doesn't. Labelin' em as Thrash reminds me of how easily guys label Exciter's Heavy Metal Maniac as Thrash. Nothin' to do with Thrash ,that's for sure. Just harder and faster Heavy Metal is the case just like you mentioned on the later Satan stuff.

I love what I've heard from these bands, namely Court in the Act, Into the Future, Out of Reach, and The Kindred. Pariah has the dubious distinction of being the only band I'm aware of to use the term 'sullied' in their lyrics and not sound ridiculous.[/i]
