It says on Wikipedia it's pretty Thrashy. But meh, for 39kr you can't go wrong!

But their early ones are much cheaper!

Not that anyone posts here anymore:

Now, I haven't heard their first two albums, but I've heard they are lacking, especially in terms of sound quality etc(e.g. my brother tells me Romeo's guitar tone sucks; sounds like he's playing on a guitar with strings of plastic )

The Divine Wings of Tragedy: Essential. The three first songs are quite hard-hitting, brilliant tracks, and then you have the epic Accolade, which is one of the best tracks they ever made. A few more very good tracks, like the Egypt-sounding Pharaoh, and to top it off, a very good epic title track. I'm guessing I'd give this album 5 stars in a review.

The Twilight in Olympus: A somewhat overlooked transition between the album before and after, this is still a very good effort by Symphony X. The album starts off brilliantly with Smoke and Mirrors, which smoothly transitions into Church of the Machine. Those two and In the Dragon's Den are my favourite tracks. The rest of the album is great, although it doesn't really keep my attention the way TDWoT or V do. 4 stars?

V - The New Mythology Suite: Essential. Basically a concept album about mythological things(for lack of a better word ). I haven't completely put myself into what it's about, but you hear a lot about Atlantis and such. Both filled with tracks that are very strong standing alone, and a really great 'big picture'. 5 stars?

Paradise Lost: I'm thinking best album of the year. It's really heavy, and Russel Allen's vocals are incredible! Get it NOW!



:edit: and when it comes to Porcupine Tree - In Absentia, I don't really think you can go wrong with it... May seem a bit poppy, the songs are really catchy, but in a good way(of course ). Blackest Eyes alone made me a Porcupine Tree fan

These three are my favourite releases:

Bathory - Under the Sign of the Black Mark
Bathory - Blood Fire Death
Bathory - Hammerheart

Under the sign of the Black Mark, is the rawest out of the three Blackened thrash.

Blood Fire Death shows their viking/folk roots coming through.

Hammerheart is a viking metal album through and through, more of an epic feel.

For 59kr you cannot go wrong!
