Yeah, it sure is a classic! Love the painting. Me and my bro still have the original gatefold cover lp.

Annihilator is a classic band and i own all their albums. Alice in Hell is a good album, i wouldn´t say it´s their best but in top 5 for sure.

The Black Halo is the seventh studio album by this great Symphonic Power Metal Band. I just only heard this band for the first time a few years ago, and I've enjoyed almost everything I've heard thus far. I don't know if this would be my particular favorite album by this band that I've heard so far, (the 2001 album "Karma" would be a heavy competitor), But it is definitely a damn good one. So go check it out.

I can't stand Symphonic Power Metal, it's way overly pretentious. And this album has your Man from Dodgy Burger. That says enough.
This week I have been giving Irish Thrasher's Gama Bomb second album Citizen Brian a blast. Fast, entertaining and packed with stories about Zombies, Alien Invasion, Video Games, Drinking Booze, Superman and Robocop. Razor Sharp and High Octane

My favorite Kamelot discs are The Fourth Legacy and Karma. Excellent heavy/power metal. They went too symphonic after that IMO.

I know, this one's kind of a no-brainer for any kind of metalhead isn't it? But, a great album is a great album, and it's my pick for this week.
This is arguably among one of the best rock concept albums ever recorded. Mindcrime follows the story of an emotionally disturbed and gullible young man who becomes disillusioned with the society of the time and reluctantly becomes involved with a revolutionary group as an assassin of political leaders. A pretty simple and trite storyline up front, but presented effectively well on this 15-track record. This album is very melodramtic in tone and has a heavy portrayal on the corruption of Catholicism and a broken society in general. So it's kind of understandable why some might think this record is a bit much. But it is a Rock Opera after all, so you can't expect much less.
Some very good vocal range from Geoff Tate on this one. Combine that with some outstanding Duel Guitar work from Chris Degarmo and Michael Wilton, and you've got a masterpiece here. This is a great album to own for any fan of this particular brand of Progressive Hard Rock and one I can still highly recommend. Still easily the best record from this band in my book too.

Classic album! Queensryche was one of my favorite bands back in the day. Too bad that they lost it after the Empire (1990) cd. (Promised Land (1994) was ok though)

I'm not a huge fan of this Swedish goth band anymore because I don't think they are quite as good as they used to be when they first came about. But this debut album is still by far their best IMO. I can certainly recommend it for any gothic rock/industrial music fan to add to their collection. If you're a fan of bands like Nine Inch Nails, Rammstein, Skinny Puppy, KMFDM, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie...ect, then you'll probably enjoy this one. Great heavy scary music.
Fluke is an English Trance/Elecronica band mainly known for the songs of theirs that have appeared in random movies and video games, such as: The Matrix Reloaded, Wipeout game series, and Need for Speed 2. But if you're a fan of this style of music like I am, than I can definitely recommend picking up this record. Really great stuff to zone out and drift off to for awhile
