Metal Reviews

Last warning before a banning? Ok, ill stop, but those who have been more of a nuisance than me have never been threatened with a banning.

I didn't say you'd be banned. And the only other person who's been a nuisance since the last Zad outburst is leee, and he's been warned. If you have more to say about this, PM me. We're ruining this thread.


HEATHEN!!

I misunderstood you. Sorry.

Arcturus!!!!!!!!

Which song?

Why does everyone like Heathen so much? I have their first two albums which I like very much, but I don't see how they could be rated better than say Holy Terror (which also kicks large amounts of ass!)?

PS - Breaking the Silence is IMO far better than Victims of Deception

Everyone likes Heathen so much because they're a classic thrash band. Both albums are arguably classic thrash albums.

But why? I like them too, just not that much. I just can't see why they can be liked so much more than other IMO equally good thrash bands.

How old are you? You have to place yourself within the metal community when those albums came out to understand.

Coroner > Heathen.

SCUM!!!!

It's all true, folks.

Then why do I like them so much?

What does Coroner have to do with any of this?

I wasn't saying that young people can't like them, I was saying that a lot of younger people can't fully understand the full impact certain bands/albums had on the genre or music in general. It's the same with me when people talk about the Beatles, Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin. I can appreciate what they did for music, but I can't argue it one way or the other. Those are classic bands, even though I can't full grasp why. You know?

Yeah I guess I'm with that. I can't imagine hearing the song Black Sabbath in 1970. Must have been incredible.

black sabbath was one of the heaviest bands i heard afte rthe beatles, and the song was... amazing.

What does age have to do with anything? I am not as old as you Ken but I am old enough to know a lot about thrash and who made a mark and who just faded away. But I guess around here Heathen were not as well liked as say Exodus or Canadian bands like Annihilator. Plus I like Exodus (early) and Annihilator better than Heathen, the two Heathen albums are good but just not as good I you say they are. IMO. They kinda just sound like another better that decent thrash band to theses ears. But who cares, you like more than me and I could care less.

PS - how was 2004 Recovered?

I answered this. See above.


It was good. Nothing amazing as it's not really a new album, just covers and demos. I found it for $2.

How did you find it so cheap, there used to be a really cheap cd store close to where I live now but the guy sold it and he had at least 1000 cds in milk crates, each cd was like 35 cents a piece. I really wish I could of gone threw them all.

Nuggets in Boston. I find tons of albums there in the $2 section. They still have a copy of Recovered there for like $6.

As if I had to say it: NAPALM DEATH!!!
Stop being crazy. Jester race isn't a classic. What did it do for music? Scum started a whole new genre, and influenced a lot of death metal and shit like that. Scum wins by facts!

Heathen. Heathen. Heathen.

Every metal fan knows what the Jester Race is. Few know anything about Heathen. Not only is Victims of Deception the best album on that list, but you would be doing a service to metalheads everywhere by reviewing Heathen.
