I should clarify:

When I first heard Cannibal Corpse I knew my intrest in that scene was living on borrowed time if not already finished..
I only liked their covers. I bought one of their CD's for like $4 used because the cover was too cool. I also had it signed by the band when they came through town one time. Don't like the music at all.

The cheesiest 80's heavy metal I'd ever heard was from a band called Nitro. Does anyone remember them? Its singer was this dude named Jim Gillette who sold "learn how to sing metal" instructional tapes in the back pages of Kerrang magazine. The guitarist was some tool named Michael Angelo, whose claim to fame was playing a double neck guitar - where the two necks pointed away from each other like the handlebars on a bike. Sheesh.

A friend of mine did engineering work on their debut opus, "OFR" (which stood for Out-f**king-Ragious ...really). If you ever get a chance to hear this incredible turd of a recording, you owe it to yourselves.

I always thought Death Angel's "Act III" was a great record that leaned more toward thrash than speed metal. You really don't like any of their stuff? To me they had real energy and some fun instrumentals like The Ultraviolence.

...possibly so expensive because it is the certifiably worst album ever recorded. I am tempted to get it myself.

I didn't listen to them after the first LP, had no idea they actually made more records..bleh..

When I think of good thrash I think of bands like Violence & Voivod..

Voivoid is great, but I was always disappointed with their cover of Astronomy Domine.
The original Floyd version was actually heavier!

I'll stick up for ya... I completely agree that Death Angel has some really good stuff.

It's funny how divided people are about metal bands. You never hear anyone mention that a metal band is okay or decent, they either say they're great or they suck.

I completely forgot about Vio-lence. Time to go digging through my old cassettes... if I remember right, Vio-lence had some great guitar riffs... definitely an under-rated (at the time) band.

Speaking of forgotten about bands, anyone remember Laaz Rockit - Annihilation Principle? Could definitely be interpreted as cheesy, but a killer album imnsho.

Well, rarely.
I'd say that Cradle of Filth, recent Slayer, and Tristania are all "decent".
But yeah, I know what you mean

It's the same way with punks...

Mayhem's Grand Declaration of War was f**king fantastic.

as long as I'm around, we'll be a minority of 2

that album is FANTASTIC.

Cheesiest black metal I can think of that I actually listen to - emporors "into the nightside eclipse"

but I've been on a binge recently of listening to Ulver's "kveldsanger" and My Dying Bride "the angel and the dark river" - so feel free to ignore me

Yeah, Tristania's latest was a bit of a mixed bag. Still, a hell of a lot better than Samael's latest. Oddly enough, Tristania's least metal album, "World of Glass" stands out as their best album to date.

Cradle's last album was also very catchy. Almost too catchy for metal really. There's no question that Nymphetamine and Gabriele are perfect radio singles, and Guilded c**t is the designated "stir up the moshpit" track. It's just all a bit too commercial to really seem genuine sometimes.

Still not as bad as Morgoth's "Feel Sorry For The Fanatic" 9 years ago, which was a f**king travesty commited by one of the greatest technical metal bands of all time. You go from absolute brilliance on Cursed and Odium, and somehow we end up with electronic pop-crap.

"Feel Sorry For The Fanatic" is probably the best example of a band commiting suicide I can think of. If you're going to self destruct at least go out with a great album, like Pink Floyd's last Roger Waters album, "The Final Cut".

Anyone else here remember Morgoth from their "Golden Age"?

I wish I could find that album without paying an arm and a leg. Like a doof I traded it in years ago. (I went through a phase where I didn't listen to much metal.) At least I held onto Know Your Enemy....

Lost forgotten classics:

Crumbsuckers
Blind Illusion
Ludichrist

Those guys all kicked f**king ass all over the place..Blind Illusion had Lalonde & Claypool and was one of the oldest metal bands around; I don't know hardly anyone that's even heard of them, great pre-Possesed Lalonde..

bad metal bands?
