Have to say I loved this playlist. I even didn’t skip Lamb of God such was my positive mood during listening. Pleased to see a couple of my suggestions in there but if honest was far more impressed with Anacrusis, The Crown and Acid Drinkers who are all familiar to me but I clearly need to spend more time with their output. Also Imperium is perhaps my favourite Machine Head track (from an otherwise poor album) so had a right blast listening to that. Think I also need to spend more time with Exumer and Exciter as well as Agent Steel, all bands who for some reason or other I had heard and dismissed but this playlist switched me on to all 3.
Anacrusis have a couple of really great albums, being Manic Impressions and Screams and Whispers. Well worth checking out both.
I also enjoyed this playlist. With the exception of the crossover stuff, which never does much for me, there was a lot of great stuff. I previously didn't really appreciate Speed Metal very much, but since covering a fair few great albums in that style while doing the Metal Academy podcast, I've come around to it.
