Blizzard Beasts and Battles In The North are savage albums.

I went back several times over the years to listen to everything from DFM to BITN and with some exceptions found it hard to distinguish between one song and the next. I always thought something might eventually click with me but as of yet it hasn't happened. This all changed with ATHOW which is undoubtedly their finest hour thanks largely to Peter TÃĪgtgren.

Pure Holocaust is the best they've done.

At The Heart of Winter is their best imo.Im not an old school BM fan for the most part bar some stuff,so I nearly always prefer mid period albums by lots of those first wave bands.Same with Emperor and Enslaved.

Damned in Black Is my favourite Immortal album

The first 5 albums range from very good to outright classic. They went downhill after At the Heart of Winter.


"Immortally Insane" (from the FAKK 2 soundtrack) is Pantera's best song.

Iron Maiden singles are very often amongst the worst tracks off each album.

Always think that about Can I Play With Madness

Many other bands have released shite songs as singles. Sweating Bullets, Fuel and Madhouse spring to mind.

Madhouse? Wudja shtap. Great song.

Can't stand it. So many better songs from that era they could have used to promote the album.

And just to clarify, I'm a huge Anthrax fan.

Madhouse is their second-best song (after Metal Thrashing Mad).

Similar caveat - I think Anthrax are mostly worse than gooey dog shite walked through your new rug.

Good song but nowhere near the bands best. Seems to be forgotten about I don't think they have ever played it live.

That was a key one I had in mind.
