Expert speed metal in the Agent Steel | Toxik | Realm category, full speed ahead, piercing ears and exploding windows! The first two albums are absolute classics that have not aged a bit. The live album is a masterpiece and the following releases have that darker, heavier vibe that reminded of Forbidden. Brilliance of the heavy metal and banging of all heads in recurring triplazeristic motions! Remove brackets and unzip: [successor] !ZER Hades ZER!

Resisting Success, 1987 (vinyl rip) Resisting Success, 1987 (CD rip with bonus) If At First You Don't Succeed, 1988 Live On Location, 1991 Exist To Resist, 1995 $avior$elf, 1999 The Downside, 2000 DamNation, 2001 Everybody loved and cried at the excellent Anvil rockumentary. Still, should we be that sorry about Anvil's relative lack of success while other heavy metal bands at least as talented like the legendary Raven and the beasts of Hades didn't even reach half of Anvil's success? A recurrent theme in Hades' album titles... Like Raven and Anvil, Hades started in the 70s (1978 I think) and have made some of the best heavy metal ever. My first encounter of the second type with Hades was through the classic Metal Massacre VI compilation, but they didn't really stand out. You do have to get up early and outdo your best to rival the emergence of Dark Angel, Nasty Savage, Possessed, Hallow's Eve or Hirax on the same record... But years later they released Resisting Success and this time it was a total sonic success, fuck yeah! Best heavy metal since Forged in Fire and All For One! Resisting Success made me sell back my post-fistful Anthrax, Trance, Loudness and Armored Saints records, didn't need that stuff anymore when I could listen to Hades! Resisting Success and If At First You Don't Succeed sit at the very top of Speed Metal Mountain thanks to the power and speed reminding of Exciter and Agent Steel, the heaviness of Nasty Savage, the catchy technicality of Iron Priest and Watchtower and simply some world class crazy killer metal songs. The live album is awesome, Exist To Resist has wider and richer influences while the last two albums are a bit heavier and crunchier. My least favorite is $avior$elf, still an excellent piece of metal. Lots of variations, super strong melodies, top notch musicianship, no filler songs, what else do you want? Even the few songs that could be tagged as ballads are super great. And these guys knew how to mix a bass guitar, which was an original thing in metal (and too often still is...). Mandatory metal masterpiece! LEGEND OF CLASSIC HEAVY METAL ZERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR !R! R! RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR !R! !R !RRRR !R !R! RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR !R! R! R! !RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR !R R! !R ! ! ! ! ! !!

Hades - resisting success

Hades - resisting success, USA 1986 This is it, this is the ultimate 80s speed metal prototype. This is your best bet when in a fast Judas Priest | Exciter | Anthrax 'fistful of metal' mood. Solos, big hair'n'leather, fat double-bass and twin guitars fuck yeah!!! But under the cheese, you also get an impressive musical deed tighter than <your favorite incorrect ass joke here>, technically mega zer, full of totally intense riffing and really smoking hot (I mean, forget about Savage Grace, Omen or even post-fistful-Anthrax and bow to Hades!). As great as Agent Steel! Killer ZErRrrR!!! Vinyl rip. tracks
