11. Lest We Forget
12. Valley Of The Kings
13. Fallen Angels

13th album by Venom, 30 years after their debut, with Cronos the only one remaining from the original lineup. The album merge genres and styles, delivering a breathing mixture of metal, punk and rock, being fresh with a kind of charming retro taste. Cronos is still using his grimy, hoarse vocal tones and the riffs remain total throwbacks to a mixture of primal speed/thrash and NWOBHM.

2nd album by Misery Index. Here the band infuses death metal with a hardcore punk attitude and in your face political and social lyrics. Astounding musicianship combined with sheer brutal technicality. The songs are fast paced walls of sound, with a thick guitar sound, virtually inexistent bass, awesome drumming and very tasteful vocals.

1. Evil
2. Curse Of The Pharaohs
3. Into The Coven
4. At The Sound Of The Demon Bell
5. Black Funeral
6. Satan's Fall
7. Melissa

Debut album by Mercyful Fate. Powerful, deceptively simple yet evil riffs surrounded by insanely complex song structures all delivered by a dual-guitar attack. Add in the vocals of the then-largely-unknown King Diamond and the game was forever changed. Melissa is damn-near perfect and it still 30 years later sounds fresh and exciting.

2nd album by Enslaved. While still maintaining a black-metal sound, Enslaved created a more crisply produced, keyboard enhanced brand of viking influenced black metal. Blast beats, Ivar Bjørnson's brilliant riffs, atmospheric keyboards, some folk-ish parts here and there, Nordic mythical lyrics, Grutle Kjellson's impressive vocals and a "crazy" Trym Torson behind the drum-kit. Classic!!

Debut album by Cross Examination. It doesn't bring anything particularly new to the table, but it succeeds at being what it attempts to be and that is a fun straightforward crossover record. The guitarwork on the album is fast and very unrelenting, there isn't a moment on the album where killer riffs aren't pounding you in the face. Lyrics about drinking beer, partying, weed-smoking dragons, the decapitation of hipsters and other killer themes!!!
