Best Heavy Metal Albums

“The greatest band in Heavy Metal history Metallica. In 1987 Metallica gained mainstream success after recording the album Master of Puppets. Songs like battery, Orion and Master of Puppets made Metallica the greatest metal band in the world and in 2009 they were inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.”

“Makeup, high heels, blood, fire, smoke bombs, studs and leather. The four original monsters of rock KISS. Destroyer is one of the most bad ass hard rock and heavy metal albums of the 70s. The song God of Thunder became the theme song of front man Gene Simmons. Detroit Rock City became one of their biggest songs. The song was based on a car accident in which an intoxicated KISS fan was killed while driving to a KISS concert.”

“The band that shocked and scared the world Slayer. since 1983 Slayer has been one of the most controversial and criticized bands in metal because of their explicit lyrics about Satan, The Occult, death, murder, massacre, necrophilia, historic disasters and terrible events, and anti Christian themes. In 1986 Slayer released Reign in Blood which became their most successful album of all and there has not been a Slayer concert in which the song Raining Blood was not played since then.”

“Jerusalem, produced and managed by Ian Gillan of Deep Purple. The band released the legendary album ’Jerusalem’ worldwide in 1972 plus a single ’Kamikaze Moth’. The band’s raunchy, unpolished and brutal rock was "way ahead of its time" and remains a cult band to this day. They were very much a "live" band and whilst many other Rock bands were into getting their audiences to sit down and listen, Jerusalem were all about making their audiences stand up, move and join in. They gigged throughout Europe and shared the same stage as bands such as Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Uriah Heep and Status Quo. They also played at many of the major Festivals in Europe to audiences of 50, 000 and usually went down a storm, because they were different, raw and uninhibited. It has often been stated within the music business, that Jerusalem were a substantial influence on many of the 2nd generation Rock "metal" bands and Punk bands of the 80’s. An official re-mastered version with extras was released on Rockadrome Records on 22nd January 2009”
