Yes, I thought the debut showed promise but it was DD where they really showed what they were capable of. 80's Accept is well worth checking out.

I've heard two of the more recent Accept albums but never any of their older stuff. Need to remedy that for sure.
Did quite like the Vicious Rumors debut myself by the way, though I think it might have been better if they'd had Carl at that point and a bit better production. Digital Dictators was much better.

I second that album, amazing stuff. 'Russian Roulette' is another one of my favorites from them.

I disliked the more groove metal based sound they took during that time. They returned to playing USPM with Warball though, fortunately.

^ There's a couple of those mid period albums I haven't heard to be honest. Must have knocked them pretty hard losing Carl Albert in such tragic circumstances I guess. The last 2 have been good though aswell.

I quite like Vicious Rumors' debut actually. I think their first four albums are all good but then it took them until Warball to make something excellent again. Especially don't like the 1996 - 2001 release period.

The debut isn't great to be honest but here they are both of them on Youtube... Edited by Nightfly - 28 Jun 2015 at 9:04am |

Yeah I want to hear both that one and the debut, unfortunately Spotify doesn't have them.

Great album. I'd have listed myself but it's actually from 1990.

The 80's was a great decade for metal and you have already discovered some excellent albums. Bands/albums I'd recommend not on your list would be....
Y & T - Earthshaker is a good place to start. Accept - Restless and Wild Scorpions - Blackout Hughes/Thrall - self-titled Streets - 1st (features Kansas vocalist Steve Walsh and guiarist Mike Slammer) Dokken - Tooth and Nail Mercyful fate - Don't break The Oath Ratt - Out Of The Cellar (if you fancy some good glam metal) Black n Blue - Nasty Nasty (as above) Armored Saint - Delirious Nomad king Diamond - any but Abigail is a good place to start. Artillery - terror Squad M.A.R.S. - project driver Metal Church - The dark Waysted - Save Your Prayers Bathory - Blood Fire Death Exodus - Fabulous Disaster or Pleasures of the Flesh Death Angel - The Ultra-Violence Kreator - terrible certainty Forbidden - Forbidden Evil Vicious Rumors - Vicious Rumors Voivod - Killing Technology Morbid Angel - Altars Of madness I'm sure I've missed out loads but there's quite a range of sub-genre's there. |

Bands I didn't see mentioned that I've rated at least 3 stars in the past (often their later releases are better)

White Zombie is good.
Annihilator I find very average, they just don't click with me. If you want a good 80's Thrash album get Morbid Saints Spectrum of Death. Makes Reign in Blood sound like its being played at half speed :D |

White Zombie is another band you should check out, 'Make Them Die Slowly' and 'God of Thunder' are both awesome thrash releases from 89.

Annihilator - I had them on my list already for 1989. Voivod - I've been meaning to try this band for a while now; I have some of their stuff saved to Spotify but I did forget to add them to my RYM lists check out sections. Testament Overkill I've heard bits of both of these are enjoyed them so I'll definitely be keeping them in mind. Artillery I actually have their most recent as a promo and liked it. I'm most interested in hearing their By Inheritance album next but Spotify doesn't have it. Industrial metal doesn't really interest me beyond Rammstein, but I didn't make this thread to be just about recommendations for me so if you want to put up some 80's industrial recommends you go right ahead.
Realm sounds interesting with that tagging. I already know Heathen but not their 80's stuff. King Diamond is another one I've had on my radar to try out for a while now.
