Red Baron Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 Crap! Forgot to mention one of my favorites growing up. "Time to Kill" - - Overkill Overkill sucks... 'nuff said Please. "Years Of Decay" and "Horrorscope" are better then most of the "metal" albums you'll hear today. that doesn't say a whole lot
Corey_Lazarus Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 Everything Nevermore has ever recorded, even Nevermore (8 tracks of rather generic power/thrash, before Nevermore REALLY found their own voice; back when Warrell tried to go TOO high too often), is better than anything Overkill could possibly record. And I'd like to reiterate that the fact that nothing done by Opeth is on this list, or even Cradle Of Filth (and I know many hate them, but they are the only black metal band to crack the Billboard 200, and thus have SOME value, if only as a gateway band to the better stuff...like Absu) at the least, voids it of any validity.
Slayer Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 Everything Nevermore has ever recorded, even Nevermore (8 tracks of rather generic power/thrash, before Nevermore REALLY found their own voice; back when Warrell tried to go TOO high too often), is better than anything Overkill could possibly record. Nevermore's s/t is one of my favorite CDs, period. All nine tracks stand out to me in their own way, especially the lone ballad ("Hurting Words")
Slayer Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 Something I can't believe I didn't realize... Nevermortal = Nevermore + Immortal I knew there was something I liked about the guy
Red Baron Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 I hate Overkill as much as I hate Nirvana

Guest Doyo Posted December 4, 2003 Report Posted December 4, 2003 The new Overkill album "Killbox 13" kicks all kinds of ass. If you've only heard their 80s stuff then you might want to check it out as it has more of a modern sound. I mean it is still 100% metal, but not as cheesy. It is what "St. Anger" should have been. I've put off on picking up the new Nevermore because I've heard the production is horrible.

Guest Doyo Posted December 4, 2003 Report Posted December 4, 2003 I prefer "We've Come for You All" by Anthrax
The Metal Maniac Posted December 4, 2003 Report Posted December 4, 2003 Doyo makes a strong argument.
B. Brian Brunzell Posted December 5, 2003 Report Posted December 5, 2003 That he does, but I think The World Needs a Hero tops it. Mega Dave finally remembered how to write a good metal song for that album, and it showed.
