What Are You listening To V.III Metal!

Helloween - Walls of Jericho. Helloween is one of the best metal bands ever.

Keeper of the Seven Keys, Part 2. I don't remember if this or Part 1 was the first power metal album I've heard, but this pretty much confirmed my power metal fanhood. Sadly, most power metal I've heard is nothing compared to this.

So ****ing heavy. Proto-metalcore or whatever from a nearly thirty-year-old band that still kicks more ass than most of the bands they influenced. That singer sounds like he's about to bust out of my headphone speakers and crush my skull with his bare hands.

Give in and comply and I hate you, in disgust
Psychic vampires suck the life from you
Do as they say
Do as they do
The leeches they writhe as they drain you to the bone
They dig with their teeth and their razors, in your flesh
Inside of the body collecting

I'm more impressed with Seventh Son than with Number. Only slightly, but the two are really close in quality. Then again, Iron Maiden is sopmething that takes a while for me to get into. Seventh is the first IM album I liked the first time.

Seventh Son kicks so much ass it isn't even funny.

JGuy Grungeman · 08-01-2016, 12:32 PM

Pretty much. I still gotta play Powerslave after that, and then I might revisit Number again.

The Batlord · 08-01-2016, 12:41 PM

I kind of like Maiden when they're less proggy, so I prefer Powerslave to their later works, but Number of the Beast is inconsistent, so it kind of evens out I guess? But Number of the Beast is also either the first or second Maiden album I ever heard, so there's nostalgia there.

I've mentioned before how I find it annoying when RYM's genre-based charts have the same bandtaking over like half in the top ten. I'm not big on NWOBHM, and I like Maiden, but it's almoat as if the other bands are just novelties in comparison based on that list. I guess it's because most don't bother playing anything else in the scene, like Marley with reggae.

Bro, Diamond Head.

Diamond Head doesn't take up half the top ten.
