1. Tourniquet: The Tomb of Gilgamesh
2. Theocracy: Absolution Day
3. Saint: Time’s End
4. Petra: You Are My Rock
5. WhiteHeart: Jerusalem
6. Rez: Shadows
7. Idle Cure: The Only Thing
8. Sacred Warrior: Obsessions
9. Bloodgood: The World (Keeps Movin’ Around)
10. Bride: No More Nightmares

I love how numbers 2-10 are hair metal, power metal, and ballads, and then #1 is thrash with hardcore shouting sections.

Tourniquet - Phantom Limb
Living Sacrifice - Haven of Blasphemy
Vengeance Rising - White Throne
Shout - Winners or Losers
Harmony - What If
Narnia - From Darkness to Light, Pt. 1
Skillet - Saviors of the World
Stryper - Caught in the Middle
The Crucified - Mindbender
Theocracy - Caught in the Fairytale

Yet again reminding me that someday I need to redo my Tourniquet rankings, especially POD. I gave Phantom Limb a 8.5/10... it's an 8.7 at the very least but probably more like an 8.8 or maybe even an 8.9.
And I think I might have been to hard on Against the Law also... just maybe

I was looking through my files. I have over 12,000 songs! Crazy!

That said, it was awfully weird narrowing down a list. I ended up with a lot of favorite bands missing (Petra, Stryper, Saint, Grave Robber, Rez Band, Tourniquet, etc) and many other favorite songs from other bands. Strangely, the list ends up being weird, quirky with so many of the "normal" bands absent.

1. A Hill To Die Upon “Unyielding Anguish”
2. Becoming the Archetype “Artificial Immortality”
3. Crystavox "Rock In A Hard Place"
4. Death Requisite “Ineluctable Castigation”
5. Demon Hunter “God Forsaken”
6. Drottnar “Funeral of Funerals”
7. Extol “A Gift Beyond Human Reach”
8. Impellitteri “Kill The Beast”
9. Sacred Warrior “Beyond the Mountain”
10. Theocracy “As The World Bleeds”

I just can't help release a load of emotions to these tracks

Excellent Crystavox pick.

Kill the Beast is my favorite Impellitteri song, that album overall is killer

In one of metal's most impressive catalogs this album still manages to impress.

Impelliteri and Stryper as good or better than ever.

Never heard of Affector before, but that song was really good

Having never heard it back in the day and picking it up in 2012 or so, those lyrics hit hard and perhaps even more so today!

The riff @ the 1:00 min mark is one of the most killer riffs I've ever heard. They replay after the solos too.

BTW, that list was my 2000th post.

Yes and no. Betrayal evolved from Martyr. Martyr recorded a demo tape called "Frantic" and afterwards the bass player and vocalist D. Prado left and took the name or it was other way round, all the other guys in the band left. They went on under a different name: Betrayal and recorded former Martyr demo - songs and released the Betrayal debut album.

You need to learn to appreciate ballads more. Songs don't have to be heavy to be good, include some lighter stuff. Laughing
