Warlord - ...And the Cannons of Destruction Have Begun (1984)

Warlord ...a bandname which automatically leads to the assumption that this band will play some kind of metal. Since we are in the year of 1984 it is quite imaginable that they neither play black metal nor metalcore, what's left is the good old american way of heavy metal - the epic way.
If you are into guttural blastbeatz this will scare the fuck out of you: A frequent usage of keys support the fairly efficient riffs (sometimes classical heavy, sometimes even speed metalish) and the well done vocals (The combinations will remind you of Cloven Hoof's dominator which is outstanding as well but still feels less epic than this effort). Yeah talking about good catchy NWoBHM we can come to the point that this album is pretty catchy, you will get into this one in a fast way if you are open towards 80s metal in general.

Dark Angel - We have Arrived (1984)

You are a thrashing maniac if you know of Dark Angel!
(Do not take this for serious you are still a scene kid)
If you want to be a thrashing maniac you should claim to love Darkness Descends!
(This album is great, no discussion)
But if you are a real wise friend of heavy metal you should know better: Their debut is even more charming then their later efforts, because it has this particular unbound yet savage feeling (just compare Merciless Death 84 edit. to it's 86 re-release within Darkness Descends). Beside the afore mentioned Merciless Death there are many other pretty catchy and noteable tracks on this record e.g. Welcome to the Slaughterhouse (seriously each track of this record is killer). Worship it or die!

P.S: I possibly add this bands later albums as well, because they are all seriously awesome.
