This album was released in 1991 and to me its the best because my newest favorite singer does leading singing for five of its songs, I love my late beautiful precious Steve Sanders SO much!!!  God bless you and his family always!!! Holly P.S. Steve is the one on the right. |

Only for 80s rock/metal bands, but it was arguably the best decade for extreme (death/black) and progressive metal: Opeth, Death, Dream Theater, Meshuggah, Morbid Angel, Emperor, Immortal, Dissection, Atheist, Cynic, Entombed, Edge of Sanity, Obituary, Suffocation, Darkthrone, Burzum, Dimmu Borgir, etc. |

I was never into extreme metal, and only dabbled with progressive metal. Slayer was about as "extreme" as I ever got, and even they had problems in the 1990s. Although I enjoyed "Divine Intervention" (1994), it paled in comparison with "Seasons in the Abyss" (1990). I didn't buy any Slayer albums after that. |

If you aren't into extreme metal then I could understand thinking 90s was a down decade for the genre. Iced Earth and Helloween were perhaps the best standard-bearers for the old-school. Helloween's Better than Raw is one of my favorite metal albums, and Iced Earth's run from Stormrider in '91 to Something Wicked in '98 was consistently excellent. Seasons in the Abyss and Anthrax's Persistence of Time might've been the best albums from any of the 80s bands. Two great old-school 90s metal songs: (^ One thing I love about that song is how during the first verse the guitars drop out completely and then kick back in (at 0:46) as soon as Deris changes his vocal register/style and introduces a new rhythm. Really cool effect... one I haven't heard much in metal.) (Jon Schaffer has the right hand of God. I've tried playing this. My arm is on fire in the first minute or so, and that's playing it sloppily as hell and not up to speed.) |

Yes, IMO, there were several good albums released in the first few years of the decade, but the last half of the decade was a down time. I never heard Helloween's "Handful of Pain" song until now - thank you for sharing. I do own Iced Earth's "Alive In Athens" album. I especially like "Burning Times". |

If you liked Handful of Pain, I'd highly recommend the entire Better than Raw album. IMO, it's easily the best thing they ever did with Deris, and it seriously rivals the Keeper albums as my favorite from them. Here's another track: Alive in Athens is one of my all-time favorite live albums. As far as metal goes it's very much up there with Live After Death and Unleashed in the East. Like with the Maiden it had the benefit of coming right at the tail-end of their "classic" period and has most all of their best songs and none of the filler. The performance is tight as hell and it's really well recorded too. Burning Times is a great track, great opener to Something Wicked. |

I checked and the album is available for streaming on Youtube and for purchase from Amazon.com. I'll give it a thorough listen when a get a chance. Thanks again for the recommendation. |
