Hello all,
May I have your recommandations about what you think are true masterpieces but for some reasons remain in the shadow of the well known classics ? No matter the country, year or genre. But only 9/10 or 10/10 album, if I may say it like this.
Also don't give more than 5 or 6 albums/persons.
Then I'll tell you if I already know and if I like it or not, or if it's a discovery, etc. You can also discuss the choices of each other.
Thanks for answering. |

I don't know what kind of metal you like most, i just guess traditional metal from the 80s?
If so, do you have/know these titles:
SIREN - No Place Like Home LP
MARTYR (hol) - first two LPs
GLACIER - same EP ?
If you need more obscure tipps, just tell us, no shortage of that as well. |

I know GLACIER and I like them! This is high quality metal like I'm referring in the opening post 
I only heard some of MARTYR but not enough to have an opinion yet.
As for SIREN, never listened, I'll give it a try!
I like many kinds of metal (heavy speed thrash black doom death...) so I don't know what to say but as I prefer oldschool/natural/"true metal" sound, I guess the 80's will do it. So this thread is really free. |

I will also go for Siren's first LP,one of the best metal Lp's with one of the most ridiculous covers sold at the most ridiculous prices,give it a chance and you won't lose!
One other album I instantly adored is Dark Age's (US) self titled mini-LP!
I would definitely recommend Tantrum-Trenton City Murders mini-LP,Salem's Law-Tales of Goblin's Breed,Witchhammer-1487 and many more that take time to think of  |

Cool, glad you like GLACIER already. The first MARTY is a dutch classic with some MAIDEN/NWOBHM influence and some great fast-paced songs (almost speed metal). Second album is a bit more melodic, but with excellent songwriting throughout. Fantastic musicians/singer.
First SIREN(US) is also a unique album, US metal with a little progressive touch and with killer songs like "Terrible Swift Sword" and others. |

| This is why maybe this LP passed unnoticed and has always been in the cheapos section but believe me,this is more than worth checking! |

Just a couple off the top of my head:
Darkthrone - Soulside Journey - mainly known for their BM Lp's, but I think this is a true Scandi-DM great.
Pestilence - Malleus Maleficarum - this one gets forgotten as well as the bands DM output only gets mentioned but I think it kills. |

For me Soulside Journey is just a rip off of Nihilist/Entombed and a bit of Autopsy. Among others. Beside 2/3 songs, I find it boring. Thankfully they dropped that and released the almighty classic A Blaze In The Northern Sky some months later
As for the first Pestilence LP, yes it is really great ! The aggressiveness of Van Drunen's vocals always turn me on. |

And some NWOBHM:
