Once hooked by Motörhead, Accept, AC/DC + Priest, reeled in by Metallica (that was then), Slayer + Overkill. Never got cured of this addiction - actually never wanted to …
After being bored by this genre in the 90s, rediscovered Death Metal only few years ago.
Alter Bridge, Amon Amarth, Asphyx, Bolt Thrower, Bullet, Dead Lord (also highly recommended live), Dool (hypnotizing 1st album), Exodus (Law of the series says: next album will be good/better - go Gary!), Gang Green, Grand Magus, Havok, Heathen (You promised a new album, Lee Altus!?), Iced Earth, Iron Maiden, Kreator, Macbeth (Check them out!), Night Demon, Rammstein, Rose Tattoo, Sacred Reich, Saxon (especially live), Sodom, Tankard, Trivium, Visigoth, Volbeat (on the decline)
Missin vintage Metallica, vintage Manowar + Hail Of Bullets
Albums I often recommend(ed), cause they are not on everyones radar:
Gang Green - You Got It + Older … Budweiser
Heathen - The Evolution Of Chaos
Macbeth - Gotteskrieger + Wiedergänger + Imperium
Rose Tattoo - Angry Metal + Blood Brothers
Sacred Reich - The American Way
