Master of Puppets imo, that's the pinnacle of their brilliance I think. Ride The Lightning is good but really gets wayy too much praise, it's a great album but not superb.

Personally this is the order you should go about if you want to get into Metallica: Master Of Puppets, Kill Em All, Ride The Lightning, And Justice For All.

My personal favourite is Kill Em All, but they're all great albums. Just check them all out, no matter what order, and forget all their later crap. k:

I wasnt aware that Psycroptic or Virgin Black had visited you guys, but its cool to hear they had. I wonder how was the response/turnout? Because as you know it costs more than a few shiny gold pieces to trek to Norway. I do know a number of promoters here in W.A as well as in the eastern and southern states so if you know of many bands that might 'pull' well there then give them a mention and ill see what the promoters and bands think if i know them. I have personal contact with a few of the bands i suppose, but the rest is through no more than mere emails which of course anyone can find should they look.

Some personal favourites from my homeland would be : Abyssic Hate, Impact Winter, Darklord, Nazxul, Portal, Hated By Humanity, Destroyer666, Pestilential Shadows, Lord Kaos (r.i.p/defunct) Disembowelment, Avrigus.. i could go on and on, but this is a short list of ones that i thouroughly enjoy.

Virgin Black hasn't been here yet. Only Psycroptic. They were warming up for Nile. (In fact I prefer Psycroptic, especially after hearing them live.) I think they got a lot of new fans at that concert though.

I bet Virgin black would pull in a good crowd. And probably Disembowelment and Destroyer666 too as those are quite known. But I do understand the problem with the money very much. Why can't bands get government support to go touring ? "HEY! Here are our bands, see how proud we are of them!"

Okay...now for those of you who even care or listen to Slipknot: Which album is better, their self-titled or Iowa?

I like Iowa better, personally... (no way!)

Iowa is probably the better album, but the self titled one and the newer one that I forget the name of are both good too.

As for Metallica, personally I'm not a big fan of any of their stuff (to put it mildly) but I think if you're gonna check out anything by them, get Master of Puppets.

Slipknot's new album is a masterpiece, they managed to write great lyrics and compose stunning music, and it all still has the "Corey Taylor" energy...

I haven't listened to any Stone Sour...are they any good?

[Himmler]

anyone listened to peccatum - strangling from within? man i love the album (from the time when ihsahn was in the band)
i'm gonna try and find The return from bathory... wish me luck LOL

[DeathDude]

Anyone ever listen to some Kamelot? Just been getting back into some of their albums recently and yeah superb albums, from Karma, to Epica, to their latest with The Black Halo, I totally recommend any metal fan to pick up The Black Halo, as it's a masterpiece, that is going to be hard to top by these guys, but I have faith they will.

I'm a big fanatic of the old school of heavy metal... Manilla Road, Cirith Ungol, Deadly Blessing, Omen, Atlain, Stormwitch, Heavy Load, Mercyful Fate, Sortilege, Jaguar, Brocas Helm, Angel Witch, Pagan Altar, Saint Vitus... millions of bands from that style.
