First 5 LPs. Thread.

#ShowNoMercy - a few to choose from - my faves the obvious NWOBHM inspired
âFace the Slayerâ has that galloping Priest riff going on; âTormentorââs Venom worship
BUT âCrionicsâ, is pure âPhantom of the Operaâ goodness

#HellAwaits
Again, many to choose from and itâs mostly a toss up between âCrypts of Eternityâ and âKill Againâ - the latter being a show piece for Lombardo.
That said, âAt Dawn they Sleepâ just because it has that cool half tempo thing going on amidst all the frenetic thrash

#ReignInBlood
Contenders: âCriminally Insaneâ & âPostmortemâ
BUT award goes to âAltar of Sacrificeâ / âJesus Savesâ 1-2 knockout - and that riff/tempo shift at âEnter to the realm of Satanâ is heavy metal history right there, and the way Lombardo slows things down at the end...

#SouthOfHeaven
The hardest album to choose from because so many deep cut gems.
Itâs a tie between âBehind the Crooked Crossâ, âGhosts of Warâ, and âRead between the Linesâ...
...and âCrooked Crossâ wins it by a hair.

#SeasonsInTheAbyss
Itâs the 3 song run: âBlood Redâ > âSpirit in Blackâ > âExpendable Youthâ
Iâll go with âBlood Redâ
Of note, those 3 songs alone inspired a 90s style blatantly ripped off by bands like White Zombie. The 90s pretty much started with this whole LP in fact
