You sir have a great avatar! I like AVENGER so much more than RAGE. Prayers Of Steel is one of the best teutonic metal albums imo.

No, it's "OOOGH!"
I concede it became "Ugh!" on Vanity/Nemesis, but that's not the sort of stuff that gave CF their reputation. It's a likeable album, mind.

504. Tim Baker's vocals (yeah, I know, Cirith Ungol has been mentioned like 1000 times, but I didn't see this one mentioned)

505. Loud, chaotic and sloppy drumming on 80's Southamerican extreme metal.

506. Thick accents and exotic languages making songs sound more "abstract" and universally evil, going far beyond what the lyrics actually say.

What if that person has only heard Come Taste The Band, The House of Blue Light and Fireball?
That's why you need to INFORM them, so that they can find the metal that is inherent in even the more tame releases/recordings! OR So that they will find all of the great recordings/releases and be able to laugh off their initial reactions to things like "Never Say Die!"...

And Fireball? Come on Opening track man. That's HEAVY something. And I call it Metal! (guitar tone is deceiving, but it's definitely heavy metal because of that drumming and the riffs)

Plus who has heard Fireball and hasn't heard Highway Star?

507. Hammond Organ Solos.

508. The Demo version of Frost and Fire with the awesome Synthesizer.

509. "Oh yeah. Won't you listen!?"

510. The fact that any respectable Metalhead. Black Metal, Speed Metal, NWOBHM, Traditional Heavy Metal, Power Metal, Death Metal, Doom Metal, Thrash Metal, Crossover, Crusty Metal... will at least recognize the classics, and cite them as sources as if s/he were quoting/citing Shakespeare, Yeats, Thoreau, Nietzsche, or Kafka.

511. When ANY band plays/covers "Black Metal" by Venom. Every respectable metalhead knows the lyrics and sings along, at least to the chorus.

I can't say that I agree with that either.

In fact I can't listen to a lot of Italian "metal" because of the over use of such organs.

I'm not particularly fond of the sound of hammond organ and almost always I hate it when I hear it in metal music

Nothing against the sound of Hammond organ solos, but isn't that one of the things Heavy Metal (the genre) didn't adopt from Deep Purple.

OT poll:

Name your five favourite eighties Heavy Metal Hammond organists. No seventies left-overs allowed!

512. When the Devil shows up in SARCOFAGUS "Black Contract" to collect the guy he made a deal with years back, when he appears he's like *deathgrunt* Aaay ...like Fonzie.
