Thrashy/Heavy Metal. Ive been listening to Doomsday for the deceiver all day. What a great fucking band. What else is good by these guys? Thoughts about the band?

No Place For Disgrace is awesome, better than Doomsday imo (which is still a good album)

Coincidentally, i happen to be listening to Doomsday... too although i purchased it around 5-6 months ago, listening to it for just the 3-4th time :oops: . Good stuff. I also picked up My God, which is a good album. Not great, but an enjoyable one except for the last loooooooooooong track.

I own the following three:

When the Storm Comes Down: I reccomend this one to any fan. It's Thrashy, but does feature some elements that appear in their modern outputs. They started experimenting a bit with this one, and for the most part it worked out rather well. As long as you can stomach some stupid lyrics at times, it's worth your time.

Cuatro: I call this their Black Album. It's like a strange mix of typical Foltsam flair, but it's more Traditional Metal than Thrash. It has a more sophisticated approach, and I enjoy it. It's a lot slower paced, but good songwriting brings this one through.

Drift: I'll pretend like this abortion never happened. Hard Rock and Flotsam don't mix, not by a longshot.

I own 'When The Storm Comes Down' as well, but I felt it wasn't worth recommending given their other, much better output. Actually, I'll probably never listen to it in my life again.

Doomsday and No Place are really hitters, two great albums, I prefer a little NPFD over DFD. The rest of the albums that i have listened of them range from quite good to complete disaster.

Sp far Doomsday for the deceiver and No place for disgrace are killer. I started to listen to When the storm comes down last night, but I was extremely tired and only got through one song. Anyway, thanks for the recommendations fellars. Glad I finally gave these guys a chance.

I keep seeing this name everywheres, they even sell their CDs in stores around here. Guess I'll check em out. If I like em, I'll actually be able to buy their stuff, which is rare around here.

make sure to try No Place For Disgrace... it gets less praise than their debut (maybe because Jason Newsted played on it) but it's much better... :D

Im currently recieving "No Place For Disgrace" and "Dreams of Death".

I searched for reviews here and noticed that Dreams of Death is their newest and not very well recieved, but it was the first to pop up on DC++, besides, if it sucks, I can check out the one you suggested as well.

EDIT - The user went offline for Dreams of Death, but I got No Place For Disgrace, which so far actually is quite good. Next time I buy some CDs I'll have to look for this.
