New um Stryper.....overall decent song; kinda early Fight-debut sounding chorus (thinking the song ‘Vicious’) that will not suit everyone.

A guilty pleasure which I only developed in recent years. Last couple have been good, will check this out. I really like the first Sweet and Lynch album too.

I think I enjoyed the first 1.20min of nothing more than that chorus - came out of nowhere. Holy ****. No idea what Sweety is thinking with that. Haha. Good song otherwise and nice solos. Drums sounded decent on my ipad too. Wonder if the rest of the album has similar "surprises" though.

Sabbat - HOATTC. One of my first thrash metal loves. 30 years ago this year. FMD.

Mine too. First heard it Christmas of ‘88 at Ocean Grove foreshore camping ground. Some guys were playing it that I’d become friends with. Each song was so well constructed, a level above the standard US thrash of the day in terms of intelligence; and Martin Walkyier’s wicked vocals just brilliant. Head and shoulders the finest UK thrash album ever imo.

Rage - Secrets in a Weird World on. Remastered version with a noticeably meaty sound. Overlooked German speed/power metal this one. Huge wraps when it came out.

Invisible Horizons. Always went Running Wild > Grave Digger > Rage. While we are at it, Sodom > Kreator > Tankard > Destruction. Germans did ok eh?

Rage peaked early IMO. Don’t like Grave Digger (mainly vocalist kills it for me); I’d add in Primal Fear & Helloween ahead of both Rage & GD. No disputing Running Wild though!

Accept went ok in their day too.....

Not a Tankard fan unfortunately. But yeah Sodom, Kreator & Destruction in that order for me (although my fav Destruction probably outshines my fav Kreator but purely on ‘career-spanning weight of quality’ Kreator wins).

Guess Helloween was a contemporary of Running Wild, Grave Digger and Rage so they should be in that grouping. I'd have them after Running Wild. Gamma Ray and Primal Fear in a seperate group for mine - and in that order. Running Wild and Accept......a real hard choice for me. Probably Running Wild just.

Scorpions too. Fair effort.

My son’s been asking for a ‘Wild Child’ t-shirt all weekend. Can’t find kid size anywhere....lol. He loves the song Ballcrusher. Mum not so much of a fan.
Been playing it all week in my kitchen. Love that song too.

Wow I forgot Mystic Prophecy!! Damn it. They’re closer to Accept really I guess, can be quite melodic (particularly in their middle period) but heavier the last few releases. Better than Edguy.

Damn Germans go ok.

Shakes head @ Dee Snider not being a fan of Tankard. This makes baby Jimmy cry!!!

Dunno what it is but it’s one of those things - I almost refuse to acknowledge them. Although latest album sounds half decent but I’m not going to admit it. Childish? Yes probably.

I found out today that there’s a new Kalmah album out April. A pleasant surprise. 5 years since the last album by these swamp experts.


The orbs and their system needs to be neutered at all cost!!!

You’d think they would have reached out to KK as the natural replacement (for the tour)? Still, Sneap is no slouch.
Would have thought KK would have been asked first. Guess he has had enough. Would have been nice to see him do the tour though. Age brings health problems unfortunately, wouldn't shock if KK isn't 100% hence his retirement.
