Debut album by Hades. They had lots of metal thrashing madness, but they also had some speed metal and lots of progressive elements. Every song is distinct and stylistically different, without ever sounding contrived,  they all just fit together. The technical level of the five musicians is never to question, showing that they can thrash or play more traditional metal songs as well.

Swedish heavy/doom metallers In Solitude have released their 2nd album, with less doom moments this time. Their dual guitar leads, galloping bass and crying-out vocals, remind a mix of Iron Maiden with Riot in a NWOBHM style. The album was recorded at Nicke Anderson's studio with producer and former Dismember drummer Fred Estby.

8th album by Running Wild and my favourite one. Each song stands as an epic full-speed piratical speed metal, speedy, metallic anthem! Here we are given more of the crunchy, cherished, commanding riffs, leads, solos and straight-up barrages of speedy force. Black Hand Inn proves why Running Wild is one of the best metal bands around.
