1	Metallica (1991) more music like this by Metallica After the muddled production and ultracomplicated song structures of ...And Justice for All, Metallica decided that they had taken the progressive elements of their music as far as they could and that a simplification and streamlining of their sound was in order. While the assessment made sense from a musical standpoint, it also presented an ... see all copies from $2.58! new only from $16.52!
2	...And Justice for All (1988) more music like this by Metallica The most immediately noticeable aspect of ...And Justice for All isn't Metallica's still-growing compositional sophistication or the apocalyptic lyrical portrait of a society in decay. It's the weird, bone-dry production. The guitars buzz thinly, the drums click more than pound, and Jason Newsted's bass is nearly inaudible. It's a shame that the ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $8.88!
3	Ride the Lightning (1984) more music like this by Metallica Kill 'Em All may have revitalized heavy metal's underground, but Ride the Lightning was even more stunning, exhibiting staggering musical growth and boldly charting new directions that would affect heavy metal for years to come. Incredibly ambitious for a one-year-later sophomore effort, Ride the Lightning finds Metallica aggressively expanding ... see all copies from $3.98! new only from $14.13!
4	Kill 'Em All (1983) more music like this by Metallica The true birth of thrash. On Kill 'Em All, Metallica fuses the intricate riffing of New Wave of British Heavy Metal bands like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Diamond Head with the velocity of Motörhead and hardcore punk. James Hetfield's highly technical rhythm guitar style drives most of the album, setting new standards of power, precision, and ... see all copies from $8.39! new only from $8.39!
5	Master of Puppets (1986) more music like this by Metallica Even though Master of Puppets didn't take as gigantic a leap forward as Ride the Lightning, it was the band's greatest achievement, hailed as a masterpiece by critics far outside heavy metal's core audience. It was also a substantial hit, reaching the Top 30 and selling three million copies despite absolutely nonexistent airplay. Instead of a ... see all copies from $8.49! new only from $8.49!
6	S&M (1999) more music like this by Metallica After 1988's ...And Justice for All, Metallica pared down its progressive, heavy metal sound. During the '90s, the band's studio releases grew slicker and more produced, resulting in mostly radio-friendly, good ol' boy metal. By the end of the decade, Metallica was established as the pioneer of modern metal, but the band hadn't done anything ... see all copies from $9.45! new only from $13.68!
7	St. Anger (2003) more music like this by Metallica Metallica's first new material in over five years arrived after a flurry of non-musical activity that included a much-publicized spat over Internet file sharing, the departure of bassist Jason Newsted, and a lengthy stay in rehab for James Hetfield that suspended the recording of a new album indefinitely. Hetfield returned to the fold in late 2001 ... see all copies from $3.74! new only from $4.29!
8	Load (1996) more music like this by Metallica see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.95!
9	Garage, Inc. (1998) more music like this by Metallica For many years, Metallica's 1987 EP Garage Days Re-Revisited was the most sought-after item in their catalog; it was constantly bootlegged in the '90s, and often supplemented by a host of covers Metallica had released on singles and compilations throughout the years. By 1998, the band had understandably grown frustrated with this situation and ... see all copies from $4.90! new only from $16.95!
10	Cowboys From Hell (1990) more music like this by Pantera Pantera's breakthrough album, Cowboys From Hell, is largely driven by the band's powerful rhythm section and guitarist Diamond Darrell (as he was then known)'s unbelievably forceful riffing, which skittered around the downbeats to produce unexpected rhythmic phrases and accents, as well as his inventive soloing. Phil Anselmo displayed a vocal ... see all copies from $5.88! new only from $12.57!
11 view cover	United Abominations (2007) more music like this by Megadeth Megadeth have been through a lot of lineup upheaval circa the early 21st century, with longtime leader Dave Mustaine being the only familiar face left in attendance. But Megadeth's crunchy, venomous thrash has remained intact, as heard throughout their 2007 release, United Abominations (their first for the Roadrunner label). While many thrash ... see all copies from $6.29! new only from $16.23!
12 view cover	Arise (1991) more music like this by Sepultura Sepultura had shocked the death metal world in 1989 with the release of their third album, Beneath the Remains, whose seamless combination of songwriting chops and utter brutality quickly transformed the Brazilians from scene outsiders to one of its brightest hopes. The band toured nonstop in support of the album for most of the following two ... see all copies from $11.98! new only from $11.98!
13 view cover	Hell Awaits (1985) more music like this by Slayer When it was released in 1985, Slayer's second full album, Hell Awaits, seemed to many a nearly impenetrable cacophony of sound. However, it proved to be incredibly ahead of its time instead, and has since been confirmed as a mandatory item in the band's remarkable discography. Why? Well, despite its many memorable tunes, the songwriting on Slayer ... see all copies from $9.97! new only from $14.56!
14 view cover	Haunting the Chapel (1984) more music like this by Slayer Boasting the awesome "Chemical Warfare," a regular staple of Slayer's live shows, the Haunting the Chapel EP was a more crucial stepping stone in the legendary L.A. band's career development than many give it credit for. Issued in between the band's very promising debut and the following year's more sonically ripened Hell Awaits, Haunting the ... see all copies from $7.95! new only from $9.27!
15 view cover	Fabulous Disaster (1989) more music like this by Exodus After years struggling for recognition while watching their peers achieve fame and fortune, Bay Area mainstays Exodus had every reason to be dejected when they re-grouped in 1989 to record their third album Fabulous Disaster. Still, they went on to create their most diverse and carefully conceived effort yet, while remaining faithful to their no ... see all copies from $7.56! new only from $8.79!
16 view cover	The Best of Pantera: Far Beyond the Great Southern Cowboys' Vulgar Hits! (2003) more music like this by Pantera "Far Beyond the Great Southern Cowboys' Vulgar Hits!," the subtitle to Pantera's best-of reads. Combining the titles of the band's output since 1990 -- and discounting the four albums that came before that -- fully admits what fans and the band have been winking and nudging about since the sea change of Cowboys From Hell. The 1990 album marks the ... see all copies from $11.24! new only from $16.52!
17 view cover	Feel the Fire (1985) more music like this by Overkill This full-length debut from New York thrash band Overkill made quite a splash within the heavy metal community and listenership. While certainly not the group's best effort, Feel the Fire possessed all the blistering riffs and complete abandonment fans would learn to expect from Overkill. With band classics like the title track and "Rotten to the ... see all copies from $8.69! new only from $10.05!
18 view cover	Inferno (2004) more music like this by Motörhead Like AC/DC, Motörhead rarely stray from their niche, crafting reliable records from a punk metal template that began in 1977 with their self-titled debut. Inferno is no exception, as the sum of its parts does little to deviate from the formula. Opening with the blistering "Terminal Show" -- marking the first of two appearances by guitar legend ... see all copies from $6.20! new only from $10.25!
19 view cover	Ace of Spades [Bonus Tracks] (1996) more music like this by Motörhead With the 1980 release of Ace of Spaces, Motörhead had their anthem of anthems -- that is, the title track -- the one trademark song that would summarize everything that made this early incarnation of the band so legendary, a song that would be blasted by legions of metalheads for generations on end. It's a legendary song, for sure, all two minutes ... see all copies from $7.70! new only from $8.91!
20 view cover	Bonded by Blood (1985) more music like this by Exodus Had it been released immediately after it was recorded in 1984, Exodus' Bonded by Blood might be regarded today alongside Metallica's Kill 'em All as one of the landmark albums responsible for launching the thrash metal wave. But by the time it finally hit the streets more than a year later due to numerous record company-related difficulties, the ... see all copies from $7.38! new only from $8.91!
21 view cover	Skullgrid (2007) more music like this by Behold... The Arctopus Brooklyn's Behold... The Arctopus drop their Metal Blade full-length via Black Market Industries. The power trio, with its unusual instrumentation of drums, guitar, and Warr guitar (a 12-string instrument that offers, via the finger-tapping method, a full-stringed guitar and bass combined on the same neck), issued its first two EPs and a live set ... see all copies from $9.41! new only from $10.64!
22 view cover	Rust in Peace [Bonus Tracks] (2004) more music like this by Megadeth The remixed and remastered Megadeth albums released in 2004 aren't your typical cash-ins. They're stark improvements over the originals: group leader Dave Mustaine did the remixing and remastering himself, making especially significant revisions to the earlier albums, and he includes insightful liner notes for each reissue, including track-by ... see all copies from $4.49! new only from $14.43!
23 view cover	Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good! [Remixed] (2002) more music like this by Megadeth If you have the original version of Megadeth's debut record, Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good!, then there is no reason to go out and buy this slightly remixed 2002 version. Only the most hardcore fan would want to own both. It is a classic metal album, as good if not better than Metallica's or Slayer's debut records. Songs like ... see all copies from $5.84! new only from $8.91!
24 view cover	Iron Fist [Bonus Tracks] (2001) more music like this by Motörhead Another first-rate Motörhead album -- the fifth in a row, to be precise -- Iron Fist is the final one to feature the band's classic lineup, as guitarist "Fast" Eddie Clarke would depart following the album's completion. Released in 1982, Iron Fist is mostly distinguished from its predecessors in terms of production, and not favorably. Clarke ... see all copies from $9.10! new only from $10.25!
25 view cover	So Far, So Good...So What! [Bonus Tracks] (2004) more music like this by Megadeth The remixed and remastered Megadeth albums released in 2004 aren't your typical cash-ins. They're stark improvements over the originals: group leader Dave Mustaine did the remixing and remastering himself, making especially significant revisions to the earlier albums, and he includes insightful liner notes for each reissue, including track-by ... see all copies from $9.79! new only from $9.79!
