FIVE Album Challenge!

OK, so I stole this idea from Pete Pardo (Sea Of Tranquility channel) on youtube.


Name bands that have a perfect (or at least their best) run of 5 studio albums. This can be any point in their career, but they have to be in-a-row.

I'll start with Metallica's first 5.

As well as Mortification's first 5.

hey. I watch Pete too sometimes.
So has to be "five" not three, or four, but "five:... I'll have to come back on that one and have little think.

I'll go ahead and add the first 5 Testament.

Queensrÿche: EP through Empire 

Iron Maiden: NotB through SSoaSS

Sabbath: debut through Sabotage

Anthrax: Spreading the Disease through Sound of White Noise
(Yes, I like SoE).

I realize I listed six Sabbath (I do not do the maths), so I’ll go Paranoid through Sabotage.

All excellent choices!

Those would be my Anthrax picks as well.

Journey - Infinity thru Frontiers

Stryper YABA SUC THWTD IGWT ATL and again with Fallen, NMHTP, GDE, ETDB, and the new one that‘s coming and I just assume will be smoking.

Agreed!

Blind Guardian had a pretty amazing run from Tales from the Twilight World to At the Edge of Time, spanning seven albums. Their first two had their (sometimes great) moments and Beyond the Red Mirror was just OK. New one is good by the way.

Oh and how could I forget Rhapsody pre split... eight full lenghts and two substantial EPs, not one of them was bad. Yes I will defend the honour of Triumph or Agony.

Hammerfall-Glory to the Brave through Unbent, Unbound, Unbroken

Yeah, that BG run is one of the most impressive in metal.

I don't know man, Threshold was pretty solid as well. But I'm willing to admit that the two that came afterwards (or even five, IMO) weren't quite on the same level, even though I love those two.

Falconer - basically their entire discography

Bride - Live to Die - Scarecrow Messiah

Alter Bridge  - They've never written a bad song.

Impellitteri - From Stand In Line to now, the present.


Agree with first 5 Morty's

Agree with Blind Guardian

If we can count Dio and his various bands:

First 3 Rainbow
H&H and Mob Rules
Holy Diver and The Last Line

Extol - All 5

Those would be my Bride picks also.

Virgin Steele - Marriage Of Heaven And Hell (Parts 1 and 2), Invictus, and The House Of Atreus (Acts I and II)

Good choices though I'm not a Rhapsody fan and only like Altar Bridge in small doses.
Megadeth with Peace Sells through Cryptic and Metal Church the first five albums.

Manowar ~ Fighting the World to Warriors of the World

Good call on Metal Church!

Megadeth are an odd one LOL
I really wish I could do a five-album list from them.
They'll do four really good ones and then a so-so one. 
Like RIP, CTE, Youthanasia, CW and then...Risk.

or
TWNAH, TSHF, UA, Endgame and then...Thirteen.

Good list!
Warriors Of The World is highly underrated.

Manowar has one of the all-time best debuts. Then they made Into Glory Ride, which is my least favorite of their 80s stuff.
If I could skip that one, my list would be BH, HTE, SOTH, FTW, and KOM.

Judas Priest - Sad Wings Of Destiny thru British Steel.

They could've had another run with Painkiller, Jugulator, Demolition (shut up, I love the Ripper albums!), Angel Of Retribution, ...and then Nostradamus screws it all up!
