This is diffecult but I will try. Mercyful Fate I agree. Metal Church debut album. Angelwitch My absolute favorite NWOHM album. Warlord and the cannons of destruction has begun. Wings of Steel debut album, a heavy Queensryche!

Representing UK thrash these two bands with fantastic debuts come to mind: Xentrix - Shattered Existence (1989) Evile - Enter the Grave (2007)

Hard to disagree with the Dio selection, two great albums indeed, I'd forgotten all about "The Warning" to be honest (saw them supporting Kiss in 84), for me it's always been "Mindcrime", Skid Rows debut is a blinder, saw them to in 1989, "Slave To The Grind" kicks ass, my biggest close call would be Ratt, "Out Of The Cellar" just edges "Invasion", looking forward to the rest of the uploads.

Iron Maidens debut 🔥🤘🏻

Exodus-Bonded by Blood Anthrax-Fistful of Metal Mercyful Fate-Melissa Metal Church-Same Testament-The Legacy Overkill-Feel the Fire Destruction-Infernal Overkill Exciter-Heavy Metal Maniac Wild Dogs-Same Dio-Holy Diver

Great stuff Darcy , I’m with you on them all except Queensryche , Mindcrime is my favorite album, but I enjoy all their stuff Looking forward to part 2 🤘

Great video idea, looking forward to the next 2 parts! Agree with your thoughts about Melissa, I thought I was crazy considering how often people prefer the second album which is also a masterpiece.

Speedwolf - Ride with Death ;)

Running Wild Gates To Purgatory Hellion EP

BADLANDS!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Darcy, Love this concept, it's such a fun way to interact with the audience, share stories and opinions! For me personally my six are: #1: Slipknot - Slipknot (1999) debut: This is the first band I really dug into (researched / knew the timelines for releases, band members, etcetera), also the band that I think really made me dig into the metal world after growing up with hair metal and FFDP. Don't think anything beats this in the Nu-Metal category, it's heavy, emotional and dark, the samples and percussion is so unique. Nobody sounds like them and they've not made a bad album! #2: Guns N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction: While many would say this is an undisputed best, leading to a severe drop in quality on the subsequent Use Your Illusion albums... I personally love both Use Your Illusion albums, especially UYI II. Civil War, Estranged, and Yesterdays are melodic, powerful and emotional without being sappy and cheesy (in my opinion). While Get In The Ring, Shotgun Blues, You Could be Mine and Pretty Tied Up are extremely solid rockers. Where Appetite was kind of a one trick pony in a sense, I think UYI is a more varied listening experience. I think Appetite is something I go back to the most though because of the fun, hair metal vibe of it and it being SO consistent throughout. #3: Rhapsody (of Fire) - Legendary Tales: My personal favorite Rhapsody album, the mix of folk, classical, symphonic, power metal and epic arrangements and pure dungeons and dragons cheese makes it a strong contender for one of my ten favorite metal albums of all time. A close second here is the bands sophomore record, Symphony of the Enchanted Lands, which is another masterpiece, and generally the fan favorite. #4: Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden: I'll admit it, I am a Paul Dianno enjoyer, and I think this album, while set in stone as my favorite Maiden record, is closely followed by Number of the Beast. Prowler, Transylvania, Iron Maiden, Charlot the Harlot, Phantom of the Opera?? The whole album is amazing. #5: Firehouse - Firehouse: My first favorite band at five years old! Rock on the Radio, All She Wrote, Don't Treat Me Bad. So many great glam metal rockers and ballads. The close second for me is their second album, Hold Your Fire! #6: The Eagles - Eagles: Take It Easy, Witchy Woman, Peaceful Easy Feeling, Tryin'. Man this album is phenomenal, I love the feel of it, I know Hotel California is beloved and iconic, but FM radio ruined it for me (still amazing), my second favorite Eagles album is On the Border! Cheers man!

awesome list.. yup love Queensrÿche’s rage for order too… honestly i’m kinda love their first four albums… i’d be kicking myself if i choose one over the other… anyways.. agree with ur take… love the cover track ‘gonna get close to you’… i somehow love the original singer’s version too, Lisa Dalbello (which i discovered upon listening to Queensrÿche cover).. n surprisingly Heart also did a cover of hers n it became a hit for them… \m/ now am waiting for part 2….. \m/

Very cool debut list. The Skid Row debut is amazing still. I'd probably edge The Warning off with Rage and Mindcrime. Gotta dig further into U.D.O. and Killer Dwarfs. Thanks for bringing the metal🤘

I would say Iron Maiden, W.A.S.P, and Annihilator

Here's 18 of my personal picks... Anthrax Bitch Celtic Frost Death Dio Exciter Exodus Yngwie Malmsteen Mercyful Fate Metallica Nuclear Assault Omen Possessed Raven Slayer Venom Voivod Whiplash 🤘

Great Video. From the top of my head W.A.S.P s/t, Testament The Legacy, Helloween Walls of Jericho, Destruction Infernal Overkill and Metal Church s/t.

Rage for Order is an absolute classic, you’re right! That’s always been my favorite of theirs. Great video! 🤘🏼

1) Doomsday for the Deceiver-Flotsam and Jetsam. 2) Meatl Church S/T 3) Testament- The Legacy 4) Overkill- Feel the Fire 5) Lizzy Borden- Love You ro Pieces

I recorded Part 1 & 2 of this series yesterday, only to learn today of the passing of Jack Russell of Great White at the way to young age of 63. Tune in for part 2 & I promise you you’ll hear me talk about Great White & their NEVER topped debut album! R.I.P. Jack Russell 🤘

For me i will go as better than the debut with Dont Break The Oath of Merciful Fate and Slave To The Grind of Skid Row

I am so mad for not knowing MF, Dio and Queensryche! I knew it but didn’t think of it. Very cool video and look forward to the other 2. Melissa is just so classic, it’s haunting and just has a sound that will never be topped. Can’t speak for the new one coming out but we will be dead and buried when that day comes. lol. Stay heavy brother. 🤘🤘

I’m still working through the U.D.O. Discography, but you are correct that there isn’t a bad album. I’m not sure yet if the debut is my favorite. Let me know if there is another CD purge in the future 👍🏻

Great topic Darcy. Mercyful Fate's debut is on top of my want list, now that i have been getting into King Diamond's music more and more. Dio's debut is such a classic 🤘. Good to see some UDO in your video 😊. Have a great weekend brother.

For me: Mercyful Fate - Melissa Armored Saint - March of the Saint Cinderella - Night Songs Great White - Great White Sepultura - Morbid Visions Testament - The Legacy Mayhem - De Mysteriius Dom Satanas Poison - Look What the Cat Dragged In Bathory - Bathory Death Angel - The Ultra-Violence Metallica - Kill 'em All Slayer - Show No Mercy L.A. Guns - L.A. Guns Overkill - Feel the Fire Guns N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction Paul Stanley - Paul Stanley '78 Slaughter - Stick It to Ya Obituary - Slowly We Rot Trixter - Trixter FireHouse - FireHouse Body Count - Body Count Mr. Bungle - Mr. Bungle Steel Panther - Feel the Steel Ghost - Opus Eponymous Exciter - Heavy Metal Maniac Bon Jovi - Bon Jovi Shark Island - S'cool Buss Tarot - The Spell of Iron King Diamond - Fatal Portrait U.D.O. - Animal House Exodus - Bonded by Blood Van Halen - Van Halen

Really cool video idea! I was surprisingly able to come up with 14! I had to cheat alittle bit and have 8 for this first batch. 1. Scream Bloody gore - death 2. The rack - asphyx 3. Slipknot - slipknot 4. Morbid tales - celtic frost 5. Hard n heavy - anvil 6. Remission - mastodon 7. Alice in hell - annihilator 8. Holy diver - dio The albums that follow these are REALLY good and i love em but these always edge them out. I look forward to the next two videos! I still gotta sort through the rest of my picks and maybe find some more to add. Stay heavy! 🤘🏻

Hi Darcy! My Choice after looking shortly in my Sammlung( i dont know the word in english yet, sry) are: WASP!, Metal Church, Testament, Megadeth, Primal Fear!, Bon Jovi, Celtic Frost!, Danzig!, Exodus, Great White, Jag Panzer, Mötley Crüe!, Omen!, Ozzy!, The Black Crowes and Van Halen! ... ! meens absolutly save! Good Idea Darcy Greetings from Bavaria, Germany!!

I think id struggle to get 18 and largely down to me very rarely even having listened to a bands full discography. Dio id agree with. Probably Skid Row but i haven't heard everything. Testament, Disturbed and Machine Head would be in there. I haven't heard much Anacrusis but id lay money on me only liking the first. Agent Steel. Morbid Angel. Its tricky as most i could pick have tiny catalogues like Guns n Roses or Faster Pussycat. Oh how about Meat Loaf 😂 thats how hard i have to stretch things.

Great Idea for a vid... Although I love Queensryche's Warning and think it is a great Album, to me Operation Mindcrime is my favorite; and I think it is one of the best Metal Albums of all Time. And of course I agree on Holy Diver.... ;-).. (by the way: Check out the Dio-Documentary, "Dreamers never die", but I bet you have already...) . Great to see some love for UDO's Timebomb (played it to death when it came out!). And my here is my suggestion for a great Metal Debut, never to be topped by the Band: Annihilator - Alice in Hell, and the following Never Neverland is closer than you think. Best whishes!

Great idea Darcy! Exodus Bonded by Blood almost Fabulous Disaster Cinderella Night Songs almost Long Cold Winter Razor Executioners Song almost Evil Invaders Testament The Legacy almost The New Order White Lion Fight to Survive almost Pride

Cool idea for a video, Darcy! I agree with Mercyful Fate, Skid Row and Dio. Though, Dio did released albums that was equally as good as the debut. None of them managed to beat out Holy Diver.

What about Accept, Saxon, Judas Priest, Motörhead??? Oh, wait, I might have misunderstood something here, hahaha... For me it would be: Obituary´s debut. closely followed by "Cause of Death" Death´s debut closely followed by "Leprosy" Sabbat´s "History of a Time to come" followed by "Dreamweaver" Helloween´s "Walls..." followed by "Keeper...1"

Not familiar with MF and UDO but totally agree on the others you chose 🤘Skids is so close that a hair couldn’t separate the two for me. Cheers

thanks darcy these are all excellent picks the early to mid 80's just killer albums for that time period!!! my 1st heavy cassette i ever bought was krokus "headhunter" that made me into a metal head and never looked back!!! i started to explore other bands and their back catalogs!!

W.A.S.P s/t , Armored Saint march of the saint , Grim Reaper see you in hell are a few that spring into my tiny mind . Rock on Darcy 🤘🤘🤘

Wake up, babe! Darcy dropped a new video. Anyway, here's my list: - Tygers of Pan Tang - Wild Cat, - Venom - Welcome to Hell, - Mercyful Fate - Melissa, - Metal Church - Metal Church, - Celtic Frost - Morbid Tales, - Flotsam & Jetsam - Doomsday for the Deceiver.

Salut Darcy. I agree 100% about Dio.😃👍🤘

Great topic. I agree with Dio. Holy Diver is a killer record.

Melissa is my favorite as well. Honestly, it might be on my short list of all-time favorites. I love every second of it.

Armored Saint - March of the Saint Cinderella - Night Songs Def Leppard - On Through the Night Metal Church (1984) Testament - The Legacy W.A.S.P. (1984)

Great idea for a video topic. This would be tough for me. It would probably be less than ten albums i would be able to come up with. I would have to go outside of metal to get more than ten. Have a great weekend Darcy!

I just got my Sacred Riech (Heal) vinyls last week... I bought all the variations, I coudnt help myself..LOL

Blue Cheer : Vincebus Eruptum !!

Montrose by Montrose!!

Nice update mate. Loving those new Hellripper and Cannibal Corpse pick ups. Saw Hellripper live last week. Cheers mate

I must get that new Anvil too. I think it would be very cool to do ranking the albums from Cannibal Corpse when you have them all in your collection. What do you think of that? I don't own all albums from Corpse either but I'm on my way to get them. Maybe 4 or 5 missing. Great collection update!

Great review there Darcy. It does look like a top quality set and yes glad the Martin era is finally getting a bit of recognition by more casual fans. Good talking point about the name of the set, I've never thought about it, I guess with Dehumanizer in the middle of those album and not included it would have been a bit tricky to come up with a name without being too confusing. Just ordered it myself the other day actually. Headless Cross is a top 10 album of all time for me and I do rate the Martin era so it's a no brainer. Been a bit slow with pick-ups this year but thought I'd best get it before the price increases.

Yeah I remember you video on those previous Anthrax reissues. Glad they've got some decent ones available now. Yeah those Testament albums are priced too high. Even with inflation and the cost increase of raw materials it's still too much to be charging. I'm sure people will still buy them though.

Good to hear your thoughts on the albums Darcy. I'd say your top 6 is essential Accept. The first 3 with Mark are very refreshing and you can see the band is rejuvenated. yeah got to agree with the no.1 choice, essential metal album regardless of what style you like.

Darcy so happy to see you getting into Cannibal Corpse! Definitely one of my favorite death metal bands. I personally enjoy both eras of the band. Enjoy the rest of your new music. Take care my friend and as always stay heavy!🤘
