Hey metalheads of EC! Another metal question. If you can choose one, do so. I shall have to choose two. Hellfire Club - Edguy So effing amazing. Every song is just jaw-dropping. Felix Bonker's bonking on the drums like a god, the mercilessly orgasmic riffs, the unforgiving sextacy of Tobias' Sammet's genetically modified/extraterrestrial/by some means overpowered highs. Hungry power metal at its fabulousest. (Really everything Dio but if I have to choose...) Magica - Dio The concept is great and the ballad As Long As It's Not About Love just gives me shivers. Lord of the Last Day is also just great. Right in the face. So awesome. Dio's voice is just too great... So what about you all? xo
The Last Ten Seconds Of Life - Soulless Hymns https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOaK3QtCXaA After The Burial - Wolves Within (RIP Justin Lowe) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YM32llGYhoE Red Enemy - Self Titled https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ke9mH-H3oZU Barrier - Eventide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifo9qUuHoNA These are all of the albums I've been really inspired by lately. Not just the albums, but the bands themselves, too. I hope someone decides to listen and finds some joy in these like I have.
Mine has to be Vices by Kick Axe. I love that album to death, and it's my favorite one in my collection. :icon_bigg

Master Of Puppets by Metallica has to be one of the best I've ever heard. And still hard to believe its 29 years old.
Dark Tranquillity's 'The Gallery' without a doubt, which also has THE best song I ever heard, I keep saying this for many years and it hasn't changed yet.
