OG 80s Metal Vinyl Update - August 2024 (Thrash, Speed Metal)

[@1000foad]

Raven is big heavy metal band , first 3 albums is must own ! ! !

[@mercyfulmetal7324]

The first D.A.M. album is also a fun one, I should keep an eye open for the one you showed. That "damn" joke took way too long, you let me hang for a while, haha. I just so happen to pick up that Hirax album as well, very recently. Mine is the Roadrunner one, it still has the Metal Blade center ring but also that RR anti drug message at the bottom.

[@ExplosiveAction]

We are brothers in Hirax! Some seriously fast drumming on it

[@waxwiresnwaves]

thanks for the video, will be checking out that Raven. Like yourself I have been moving further back in time with Metal, been delving into the NWOBHM releases.

[@ExplosiveAction]

It's strange how that's happened with me but I guess it makes sense in a way

[@cristianosorio2517]

Hi Simon!!! Good stuff and killer additions to the collection...... I have not heard DAM or INC before, but they sound interesting and worth checking out. I think the first three Raven albums are really good early speed metal albums, the Atlantic ones are a bit more commercial, but nothing terrible (imo), but then they to form with a cool Ep, "Mad" worth checking too. cheers and be well

[@ExplosiveAction]

Thanks mate! Yeah It sounds like I need to give the first three a proper go at some point.

[@GodOvGrind666]

🤘🤘🤘

[@Carbon-stars]

Simon - Picked up the Naxzul Totem LP recently... Not something I would have found. Great stuff

[@ExplosiveAction]

Awesome mate! I highly recommend every album they have put out, plus the Black Seed EP.

[@chrissoto6331]

Interesting album's

[@INTOTHECOVEN69]

D.a.m def needs a reissue great band.

[@DawnPossession]

Awesome like and share the video everyone

[@albertampel4175]

If you want to check out some more of "That Raven", try the albums bookending this one. "Life´s a Bitch" and "Architects of Fear". Probably my fave era of the band. ... god, I´m talking about UK Metal again only one day after surviving the "British Invasion" in my house, hahaha...

[@ExplosiveAction]

Hahahaha! I hope they paid for the beers!

[@INTOTHECOVEN69]

Have both INC records good stuff inDeed simon.

[@INTOTHECOVEN69]

Get Archetect of fear a thrasher from Raven

[@bvdaussiemetalhead9338]

Only 4 but still 1 hr long 😂😂 kidding 😂 not familiar with that Hirax but I have other albums from them and I own the other 3, all great albums. Great additions to your collection 🤘🤘

[@ExplosiveAction]

Cheers! The Hirax is short but I think you need it

[@spencergrady5501]

Love a bit of Hirax. Hey, you grabbed that Fulci album yet?

[@ExplosiveAction]

Sure have!

[@spencergrady5501]

I think Giant Records put out a lot of hardcore, like Dag Nasty. Though my memory might fail me.

[@ExplosiveAction]

I took a casual glance on discogs and didn't recognise anything, you might be right

[@mazeoftorment805]

Despite the generic cover Wiped Out has a good deal of speed metal and my favorite of the first 3. Iv'e not herd most of their albums after the first 3 so can't comment on any of those.

[@ExplosiveAction]

Good to know, will make that the next one I check out.

[@INTOTHECOVEN69]

You need 2 hurry up on Raven or you will pay big bucks for those OGs.

[@Howard_the_Duck]

Can you tell me what setup you have to play your vinyl?

[@ExplosiveAction]

Sure, look in my channel videos for the Audiophile response. I go over it all there

[@INTOTHECOVEN69]

Hirax early stuff was more hardcore influenced.

[@ExplosiveAction]

You can absolutely hear that

[@INTOTHECOVEN69]
