Subject: Unholy Trinity
Date Posted: 20 Jun 2011 at 9:13pm
Satan, the Antichrist and the False Prophet is the alliance of the Unholy Trinity to fight and oppose God The Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, the Christian Trinity.  Trinity also means the state or character of being three; a trio.  In popular music the "holy trinity of rock" represents The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Who on the British side and the three major innovators of rock 'n roll, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddly and Little Richard on the American side. Also trinity represent three albums released by an artist consecutive that are "classics", groundbreaking, genre defining and/or representive, epic, etc. Unholy Trinity is used to represent the metal realm of three consecutive albums.
 
Your allegience of the Unholy Trinity?

I was gunna do Death since they pretty much made the Death Metal genre but I don't usually hear "Spiritual Healing" considered epic, defining or really even talked about so this will be my unholy trinity!

For their impact on death metal (in another way)

My unholy trinity:





Iron Maiden are my favorite band of all time, and these three albums, to me, mark the apex of their first golden era (starting with "Number of the Beast" and ending with "No Prayer for the Dying").

And one for Rebellion now, since these are a trilogy of concept albums they're an unholy trilogy in more than one way.

For my personal Fates Warning trinity, I think I'd bump Perfect Symmetry for A Plesant Shade of Grey.  Not a popular decision, but that's my favorite FW album.  

No offense to Perfect Symmetry intended.  It's an excellent album, and it's where the band first found their Alder-era sound.  No Exit I group closer to the Arch era musically, and I think Alder found his voice with the band on Parallels.  IMO that's where his voice reached its comfort level in that he didn't feel he had to hit a ton of high notes to sound good.
