Giving this a lash, about halfway through. Cool stuff, fairly unrelenting tempo wise and some nice oddball vocals sprinkled throughout.

Massacre - From Beyond (1990)

Meat & potatoes DM with extra special gravy. Never disappoints...

I played this album to death as a teen, so I only dig it out the odd time. It's a flawless album*, they really were a stunning band.

*Escape is a banger too. Never understood why that tune is considered weak.


Was only thinking about this the other day when it popped into my head that Trapped Under Ice never gets talked about and is never anyone's favourite tune off it.

Trapped Under Ice is savage, but tunes like Creeping Death and For Whom the Bell Tolls are slightly better, so it gets overlooked.

Paw - Dragline
Gruntruck - Push

Should probably be posting this in the non-metal thread, but Gruntruck are heavy enough to be included here.

Trapped Under Ice is as good as those songs.

Ride the Lightning, Fade to Black, Creeping Death, and Call of Ktulu are standout tracks. All the other songs are pretty much on a par of slightly lower deadliness.

Did JK play Paw and Gruntruck on the show? I don't remember hearing much grunge stuff.

Hold on a fecking minute. You didn't include For Whom the Bell Tolls in the higher echelon. I retract my 'Spot on' remark from earlier.

That's what it gets for thinking it can get away with not having a guitar solo  :P

Ya, For Whom.. is top, top tier.
