Excellent picks. Those also come to mind for me. 1984 isn’t really my thing yet, but the development and strides of that year and with essentially the creation of sludge and black metal and the emergence of thrash, 1984 is no joke.

The Case For '84
1. The BIG Three of Thrash each release arguably their best album with Ride The Lightning, Peace Sells, and Master Of Puppets!
2. BUT, Classic Heavy Metal proves it not going down without a fight as Iron Maiden and Priest release defining 80s metal landmarks with Powerslave and Defenders of The Faith.
3. The First Wave of Black Metal truly starts taking shape with Bathory's self-titled debut and Mercyful Fate's Don't Break The Oath.
4. DOOM is born and it's evil BUT conflicted with Saint Vitus and Trouble.
5. Celtic Frost has its hand in all the black pots with the most influential metal EP of all time with Morbid Tales!
6. Underground Metal really takes hold with the release of Cirith Ungol's King Of the Dead.
7. Prog Metal is born with killer releases by Queensryche and Fates Warning => The Warning & Night on Brocken

Good points. The first point is I think an error, as I think you’re talking about 1986 with Metallica/Slayer/Megadeth’s Master of Puppets/Reign In Blood/Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying trifecta. Everything else is very good points on 1984. Actually years ago you created a thread about 1984 metal and that was a low key very influential thread for me because it started to germinate that I needed to learn more about metal based off that reading.

Haha! Yes! I was originally going to say that 1986 was the best for that reason... and then YOU put the hammer down on 1984 & I was like  !!!!

Great question! I'll give them both a few relistens in the coming days and get back to u. ALSO, don't sleep on Kreator's debut...
Endless Pain by Kreator

And re: 1989, my 2nd favourite metal album of that year is Consuming Impulse (the first is No More Color). Possibly the best old school death metal album period, definitely a rec for you, Mercury. Also, Helstar's Nosferatu is a cool recent discovery, every fan of US power metal will love it.

Awesome! I took your recommendation to heart and listened today. Excellent excellent early death metal stuff. There were some really cool like choral vocal things happening and of course some insane riff work… will listen again but for now yeah it’s great.
My number 1 for 1989 as of now is very definitely World Downfall. Just the most awesome ballsy badass in your face Deathgrind I’ve yet heard.
