Lets discussTerrorizers 30 albums (on Metal Blade) that changed EXTREME METAL

Siegbran will be pleased at #27

I on the other hand voted for Trouble - Psalm 9.

lol @ "Jobby For A Cowboy "

Childish I know but I couldn't help myself.

list needs more goo goo dolls

gonna vote In Solitude cos it was cool when they changed extreme metal that time

you didn't have a say in the list then?

That's a pretty solid list, even Job for a Cowboy – you can't deny that they've been incredibly influential, whether you like what they've influenced or not. That said, that Whitechapel record came out like two weeks ago, sooo...

Why do magazines always sneak in new albums to these lists. I guess the label paid for some whopping adverts in return for the feature.

The Slayer records are the most important but their records after the left are infinitely better. Animosity gets my vote cos it still stands up as just about the only crossover record that actually took the right elements of metal and hardcore and combined them. Plus no Corrosion Of Conformity = No Rorschach.

No Warlord? Guess they changed POWER METAL instead.

is that really a bolt thrower record that people rep for?? huh

Tempted to vote Animosity, but I'm going to vote for my favorite and disregard the premise behind making the list.

In Solitude it is.

Good album that.

I love that In Solitude record, like, a fucking LOT, but there is no universe in which it "changed extreme metal"

like, I like them a little less if people are gonna talk shit like that

well that isn't the bands fault tbf. I can see how hype puts someone off checking a band out,been there done that, but it shouldn't stop you enjoying a record if you already do enjoy it.

yeah that's a weird criteria to think about

like i feel like i should vote for "crossover", but idk

I think my favorite records on here are:

In the Shadows
With Oden On Our Side
both Slayer records
One Foot in Hell
both Cannibal Corpse records
Fates Warning
The Harvest Floor
+ the In Solitude record, but in terms of CHANGING EXTREME METAL, only Slayer, CC, & the Metal Massacre comp really qualify

the changing extreme metal thing was obviously the editor or whatever trying to have a good byline on the cover to temp people into buying the magazine.

haha i know its a typo but temp is p accurate

This list more or less suggests that Metal Blade A&R dudes got lazy after the 80s & only bothered to sign bands that were already big?

got tired of sitting around waiting to recoup on that Witchkiller record

I can't figure out why With Oden On Our Side is the choice for Amon Amarth; Versus the World is the one with "Death in Fire" on it. This really is a "Metal Blade albums we really dig" list; the whole "changed extreme metal" thing falls apart after about two seconds' thought. I mean, what the hell is a slavishly retro act like Pilgrim gonna change?

A list of everything they ever released: http://www.metalblade.com/english/aboutus.php (scroll down past the biography)

Upon perusal of the list, there are some notable titles missing from the Terrorizer thing – no Armored Saint, Bitch, Anacrusis, Hallow's Eve?

(Okay, maybe not Hallow's Eve, although that is a damn good record)

And oh yeah, they did release the first couple YOB records!

It seems Whitechapel are from roxy country, and sadly not a mockney deathcore band from east london. A band that would have been a whiney wet dream for sure.

I had nothing to do whatsoever with the voting for that list. I would have put Haunting the Chapel ahead of Hell Awaits, for one.

largely looking at this from a position of devil's advocacy (I think the entire existence of this thing is stupid [and had no part in its construction]) but you could make a reasonable shout for those Trouble and DRI albums also imho

yep they are from my town. cross paths with them some but not much. the old drummer of my current band played drums with them in the beginning - or something. they're not really my c.o.t. but theyre nice dudes

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.
