Hard to beat authentic, atmospheric Norwegian black metal. I don't think any one country has put such a dominant trademark on a musical style like they have. Maybe the British pop invasion of the early-mid 60's.
They didn't have the big budget production, but if you listen to the riff on this one T, you can appreciate just how heavy and crushing KD were. Heavy stuff right here, accentuated with the King's demonic falsetto
Nice live vid of an old Coroner speed classic. One of the first songs that educated me that you didn't have to always play your instrument fast to play thrash, just keep hammering away your riff and let the drummer make it fast (from 2:50 - 3:10).
Cool 80's thrash right here.

Good live version of an early 90's Obituary classic. That thick, heavy distortion and power chords with ringing sustain, another example of how I envision Sabbath should be sounding with the new album. The intro until 40 seconds and 2:56 to the end, crushing stuff right there.
Just read where Slayer guitarist Jeff Hanneman passed away. Had long term complications from a spider bite? Tragic news for the metal world. Love Kerry King and his supersonic pick hand, but Hanneman was the song writing and riff genius behind Slayer's mega success.
