1001 Metal Albums you should hear before you die

108. Cain's Dinasty - Madmen, Witches and Vampires - (2010)

And while we're on the subject of foreign metal, those Spaniards sure know how to headbang! I've been impressed with Tierra Santa, Saratoga and these guys. I mean, come on: how can you not love an album with a song called "**** you forever!"

109. Nightscape - Symphony of the Night - (2005)

Amazingly, given the power of their debut, this Swedish power metal band only seem to have released the one album, and with that being ten years ago now I guess we're unlikely to hear from them again. Still, you owe it to yourself to give this one a listen.

110. Thin Lizzy - Thunder and Lightning - (1983)

The final album from Lizzy prior to the untimely death of Phil Lynott, this is as great a swansong and farewell as any band could ever hope to produce. Even had they somehow known their leader was going to die, they could not have created a more fitting last studded fist to the world than this album. From the powerful opener and title track, through the fabulous "Cold sweat", the heart-wrenching "The sun goes down" and right to the final track, the unintentionally prophetic "Heart attack" which gives Lynott the final words "Mamma I'm dyin' dyin'!" this is a gem and you need to hear it.

111. Azaello - Megadream - (2013)

Featured on my Progressive Rock section, yes, but they're really more prog metal, and there's something here for everyone. Check it out!

Almost every album you've posted has a completely hideous cover.

And you.

Also, Batty, I wouldn't talk about hideous covers when you're a Manowar fan. Just sayin'....
