budgie 01.26.20	this is i think all i remember help me out 80s metal nerds
Faenrir 01.26.20	Have you listened to Sortilege ?
budgie 01.26.20	what album to start with
VincenzoAureo 01.26.20	Riot - Thundersteel? Accept? Heavy Load - Death or Glory? Running Wild? awesome list btw
budgie 01.26.20	i love stronger than evil (heavy load) but never checked death or glory, you think it's as good or better? haven't heard riot, think i've heard running wild, never really liked accept that much. gonna check thundersteel tonight cheers.
budgie 01.26.20	totally fucking forgot about medieval steel! holy shit!
SymbolicInTime 01.26.20	Nice I've been wanting some stuff like this lately. Medieval Steel sounds pretty damn good
budgie 01.26.20	I CAN BEAT YOUR STREET MACHIINE!!! WE'RE TAKING RISKS THAT'S WHAT WE MEEEEEAN
Gallantin 01.26.20	There's a lot of trad metal but I'm only gonna recommend Thin Lizzy's Thunder and Lightning bc it's all I'm listening to atm even tho it's more of a rock record
el_newg 01.26.20	feature this
el_newg 01.26.20	Sledgehammer - Blood on Their Hands
Coast 01.26.20	W.A.S.P. - W.A.S.P.
el_newg 01.26.20	Sortilege [2] Armored Saint Sacred Blade (maybe more prog but still pretty NWOBHM) Hell (UK) Sword (not The Sword)
budgie 01.26.20	"W.A.S.P. - W.A.S.P." just wanna say i fucking love first 2 wasp lps but i don't really put them in the traditional heavy metal group. meaning more like nwobhm type stuff than the sunset blvd variety
budgie 01.26.20	newg which sword album should i add & check?
Coast 01.26.20	Yeah they rule but I get you
Inveigh 01.26.20	this is a hell of a list. not much to add, but I'll give it a shot Grim Reaper - See You In Hell Holocaust - The Nightcomers Battleaxe - Burn This Town Demon - The Unexpected Guest Blitzkrieg - A Time of Changes m/
el_newg 01.26.20	Metalized! rec'd to me by KILL decades ago it rules hard
Inveigh 01.26.20	also Jag Panzer - Ample Destruction Tank - Filth Hounds of Hades Tokyo Blade - Night of the Blade m/
budgie 01.26.20	oh yeah TANK!!!!
Gallantin 01.26.20	you didn't add Thin Lizzy you asshole anyway jam some o these: Voltz - Knight's Fall Ostrogoth - Ecstasy and Danger Mendes Prey - The Never Ending Road Legend - From the Fjords Virtue - We Stand to Fight Warlock - Burning the Witches Loudness - Thunder in the East Sarcofagus - Envoy of Death Tygers of Pan Tang - Spellbound Max Planck - Kill the Pain Wolfbane - S/T Oz - Fire in the Brain Girlschool - Hit and Run Dark Quarterer - S/T Traitors Gate - The Devil Takes the High Road
budgie 01.26.20	thin lizzy isn't really in the same musical category as dark star, praying mantis, or heavy load
Inveigh 01.26.20	thin lizzy is one of my 5-10 favorite bands, but yeah they ain't trad metal to me (at least not the vibe i get from this list)
Gallantin 01.26.20	i know they're not really trad metal, except from a few songs on Thunder and Lightning. I just really love Thin Lizzy and want him to put them up here.
Inveigh 01.26.20	well fuck yeah man, i definitely respect that. and good point about Thunder and Lightning, i love that record and it def has a couple trad elements to it. Lizzy is tough to contextualize in terms of grouping them with similar bands from the era, but I usually think of them in terms of like Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Sir Lord Baltimore and Y&T, if that makes sense. Speaking of Y&T, they're playing a small venue in my town this spring (Arcada Theater in St. Charles, IL). I really need to go, they're a super underrated band.
Inveigh 01.26.20	also, Black Star Riders played that same venue a couple years ago and I missed it (pretty sure due to the birth of one of my children, which i will hold against him later). need to see them too
InFlamesWeThrash666 01.26.20	Wrathblade - Into the Netherworld's Realm
Trifolium 01.26.20	Cooooool list!!! I need to get into some of these. If you find any that are Trif-proof, I'd love to know! I'm going to check the ones that look cool too.
Faenrir 01.26.20	For Sortilege, the second album is the best, first one is an EP but the EP and the 2 LPs are pretty darn good.
Thalassic 01.26.20	Feature this
Bedex 01.26.20	Oh here's a genre I know practically nothing in, nice list budg
budgie 01.26.20	check some of it beddy!
budgie 01.26.20	i'll update this list with your recs later tonight gallantin & start listening to some stuff been a busy weeknd
wham49 01.27.20	Dude some absolute classics on here, Tygers, witchfinder, Saxon, demon, grim reaper, exciter
budgie 01.27.20	and ANGEL WITCH!!!
Trifolium 01.27.20	Super curious for many of these. But where to start!? Haven't heard any of them.
budgie 01.27.20	you haven't heard ANY of these?!?!?!??!
Trifolium 01.27.20	That's right. Not knowingly at least. Probably heard (many) tracks in my local metal pub when I was 16, but does that really count?
garas 01.27.20	Feature this.
Trifolium 01.27.20	[2]
el_newg 01.27.20	@Trif, Diamond Head - Lightning to the Nations is probably my fav... although the Mercyful Fate EP is fantastic too!
Trifolium 01.27.20	Will check both. I know of their names of course.
Viriathus 01.27.20	Rage - Perfect Man Savatage - Hall of the Mountain King Anthem - Bound to Break WASP - The Headless Children Lizzy Borden - Love You to Pieces Ostrogoth - Ecstacy and Danger Slough Feg - Traveler Slauter Xstroyes - Free the Beast
budgie 01.27.20	ok boys i got a bunch of hours today to dick around so gonna go through these
manosg 01.27.20	Great list and some awesome recs too. Oliver Magnum - Oliver Magnum Titan Force - Titan Force Stormwitch - Tales Of Terror Shok Paris - Steel and Starlight Vicious Rumors - Digital Dictator
budgie 01.27.20	thanks manosg! btw everyone if i'm not immediately adding your recs it's because i'd like to curate them a bit — i'm looking for stuff that very specifically sounds like Dark Star. so going to listen to them all before adding
budgie 01.27.20	oh shit i totally remember Stormwitch!
Donchivo 01.27.20	Greeeeat list! Please add Savage Grace - Master of Disguise! a raw power metal masterpiece
budgie 01.27.20	i'll scope it soon donch! thanks track #5 on METALLIZED is fucking killer. thanks el_newg & KILL
Source 01.27.20	it's power metal but matthias steele - haunting tales of a warrior's past
garas 01.27.20	If you still accept recs, maybe "Nightwing - Black Summer" may interest you. I have that one on vinyl too.
budgie 01.27.20	yeah garas i will check it before i add it to the list! want to keep the theme very consistent. it must sound like tygers of pan tang
budgie 01.27.20	jesus christ the average for metallized is 4.3
Donchivo 01.27.20	Greeeeat list! Please add Savage Grace - Master of Disguise! a raw power metal masterpiece!!!
Gallantin 01.27.20	Master of Disguise is a speed metal album, not a power metal album
Relinquished 01.27.20	snox keeps the gate once again
budgie 01.27.20	in terms of 1985 those two terms are interchangeable
Gallantin 01.27.20	I disagree, they both had their place then as they do now. They are easily distinct, ESPECIALLY in terms of 1985
Relinquished 01.27.20	their place back then was usually on the same bill it really didn't matter back then as it does now. ridiculous to say it does when you weren't around back then to confirm it.
TheSpirit 01.27.20	Killer Dwarfs - Dirty Weapons
budgie 01.27.20	guys im so sleepy fuck
Relinquished 01.27.20	do some booch
budgie 01.27.20	what is boosh
Relinquished 01.27.20	it is mighty
garas 01.27.20	Have some rum and coffee! That should kick sleepiness in the ass, haha!
budgie 01.27.20	im having coffee now i wont have any rum cuz i dont want to deal with turning into a pirate today 66th post hail SATAN
Source 01.27.20	better not listen to those running wild recs then
budgie 01.27.20	fun sidenote: i played a crazy fun fucking show once upon a time with the most fun bill: alestorm, swashbuckle, i think tyr was at that one, back when folk metal was in full swing. swashbuckle was so sick!!! they had like inflatable palm trees and shit
Thalassic 01.27.20	There's never a good reason to pass up on a Running Wild rec tho
Source 01.27.20	unless you don't want to achieve piratehood
JoeTex 01.27.20	list is a thing of beauty
Trifolium 01.27.20	Love how most of these go for hand-drawn pictures as covers.
budgie 01.27.20	maybe i've heard 1 running wild rec before, not sure. which one to try? i've been looping dark star like a bad boy.
budgie 01.27.20	@trif YES, #15 is one of my fav album covers haha.
Source 01.27.20	black hand inn is running wild's best album imo
manosg 01.27.20	Check Death or Glory, budg. If its opener doesn't grab you by the balls, then Running Wild is not your thing.
manosg 01.27.20	Black Hand Inn is also up there for sure, nice pick.
Trifolium 01.27.20	Oh man yeah that one rules hard. Is the music any good? Want to check that now haha! Really great list budgie, why the hell isn't it featured yet???!!!!
budgie 01.27.20	"Check Death or Glory, budg." i'm REALLY excited to check death or glory because their stronger than evil album has been one of my favorite 80s hm albums for a very fucking long time now! such a crazy fun album. "Is the music any good? Want to check that now haha!" it's about the atmosphere, not the songs or guitar work. kinda like transilvanian hunger. if you dig the atmosphere maybe you'll love the album like i do. but there's probably a reason nobody on planet earth knows about that album. a plus: they're DANISH! maybe egarr knows them?
budgie 01.27.20	oh ok so running wild has an album called death or glory, i was looking at the heavy load album (on this list) called death or glory 😎😎😎😎😎😎 big sunglasses = cool band
Donchivo 01.27.20	Master of Disguise is way more than 'only' pure speed metal. More diverse, chunky and epic than speed metal commonly is. It is way closer to modern power metal (apart from that it doesn't suck...)
wham49 01.28.20	Lucifers friend/ Lucifer friend Pentagram/ first daze
Gallantin 01.28.20	"it really didn't matter back then as it does now. ridiculous to say it does when you weren't around back then to confirm it." Oh i mean of course it didnt really matter back then. Sodom used to be called annihilating deathcore. Genre names were all over the place. I just mean in terms of sound they were always distinct and that speed metal was pretty well defined sound-wise in that era "More diverse, chunky and epic than speed metal commonly is. It is way closer to modern power metal (apart from that it doesn't suck...)" It's nothing like modern power metal. Unless, again, you're confusing modern power metal for speed metal.
GhostB1rd 01.28.20	This is harassment.
budgie 01.28.20	i dont care enough about u to harass u
budgie 01.28.20	if we take crystal logic as archetypal uspm and heavy metal maniac as archetypal speed metal there are a million bands that are 50% both.
Gallantin 01.28.20	I definitely wouldn't take Crystal Logic as archetypal uspm haha Manilla Road and Crystal Logic especially are more in line with a somewhat underrecognised style of heavy metal called epic heavy metal. Or just epic metal, if you prefer. You all think I'm worse than before dont you
budgie 01.28.20	worse?
Gallantin 01.28.20	My previous usernames are Astral Abortis and OvDeath Worse than I was under those names
Meridiu5 01.28.20	kingdom come - sir lord baltimore
Source 01.28.20	budgie check matthias steele you won't regret
aydross121 01.28.20	Tyrant - Too Late To Prey is one of the best of the style imo.
budgie 01.28.20	oh yeah tyrant is dope! il ladd them im goin through all the stuff everyone, havent forgotten you source im being a bit selective though, want big cheesy reverby 80s drums that virtue album is sick btw galla im gonna add them when i get home
budgie 01.28.20	galla youre the guy who wrote the OSBM list on rym with like, voor evil metal etc. right?
Gallantin 01.28.20	That sounds like something I'd do, yea
budgie 01.28.20	that list ruled
budgie 01.28.20	i think samael worship him was on it
Gallantin 01.28.20	It definitely was. I still have it in a document on my computer.
Source 01.28.20	"im being a bit selective though, want big cheesy reverby 80s drums" in that case forget my first rec and check crimson glory's s/t instead
budgie 01.28.20	i will get to them both for sure, just want to make this list as close to a master list of tygers of pan tang type music as possible on that note i might take off witchfinder general and pagan altar, not sure how narrow i should be
budgie 01.28.20	hey all i am going to come back to this list saturday afternoon thru sunday. in the meantime gonna be off sput
Source 01.28.20	stay out of trouble
Inveigh 02.01.20	hell yes m/
el_newg 02.01.20	how was this not featured, cmon meds
budgie 02.01.20	jamming the hell out of praying mantis lately

Trifolium 02.01.20	List is so long! Still need to check that, the track you sent ruled.
budgie 02.01.20	which? i sent you like 8 links 🤣🤣😅
Source 02.01.20	"how was this not featured, cmon meds" doesn't involve indie or electronic
rockarollacola 02.01.20	I am so fucking pissed. I just found my limited edition Angel Witch vinyl warped to shit because someone put it on top of a heater in the basement.
budgie 02.01.20	dude that's shitty as hell, how did that happen? last weekend i had to throw away 20 records because they got water damage. og pressing of peace sells among them. ahhh.
VincenzoAureo 02.04.20	holy fuck inveigh is based as hell
aydross121 02.06.20	First two Crimson Glory have uber cheesy drumming. Not really traditional metal though, more like Queensryche, Fates Warning, albeit less prog. Liege Lord - Master Control works too.
SymbolicInTime 02.22.20	Seeing Saxon on this list is what caused me to save an album of theirs and eventually check a few days back. Thanks for that buddy. Really liked Medieval Steel too. Will definitely be plucking away at more of this.
budgie 02.22.20	fuck yeah man. i gotta keep updating this list with the recs, monday i can dedicate all day
