Trick Or Treat (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
by Fastway

I forgot about the great Trick or Treat soundtrack...Ruler of the Wasteland...Stay Ugly....Somewhere In Time....Russian Roulette...the Spell of Iron.

And I have that Coroner demo CD.....so good.

Truly an amazing year. I must have 50% of that list or more.

Back to the Weapons....Awaken the Guardian....awesome.

Is it any coincidence that 1986 was also the year the two greatest video games of all time dropped in the US? Those being Metroid and the original Legend of Zelda.

I am glad I grew up when I did, I was 16 in 1986.

I was but 11, but already a six year metal fan. Blame my cousins.

I was 11 too.

For real? For some reason I thought you were a year or so younger.

I was 10 into 11.
I turned 11 at the end of the year

DrinkHardThrashHard said:

you got into metal the year i became a human.

I'm probably one year older then. 8/8/74

Dwyer - PLEASE tell me you have "Lucifer's Heritage" on cassette!

What the Blind Guardian demo?

1986 WOW, i was a sophmore in high school, yes i am old. but i'm glad i grew up in that era, i just wish i kept all the keepsakes of that era - oh well.

DHTH, you are a little over a year older. also know as one year CTS (closer to scrod)

I'm just going to copy this list and acquire anything I don't have, which might be like 10 things.

1986 i didn't have pubes but i had b00bs

heh, i have Darkness Descends on 12" LP - most of the stuff on your list i do have on LP's and tape. The Sadus demo I have from tape trading. I didn't like it at that time i remember. use to like Cirith Ungol...and I remember a kid in high school who had that VIO-lence demo tape, what was on that????? I never got to listen to it.

ah peace sells, was one of my faves in high school, so was master. pleasure to kill was also! i have a tear in my eye.

Cirith Ungol fucking RULES

freshman in highschool, the world was my Metal oyster. Great year to be introduced to Metal

DrinkHardThrashHard said:

yes they do.

I was 1 at the time. I don't think it was until I was 4 that I found my dad's Mob Rules and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath LPs and met metal for the first time.

it scares me when i see the sign in the gas station that says you must be born on such and such to buy ciggs. dear lord. am i a grandpa!?

Come out and Play by Twisted Sister was 1985 not 1986!

and you forgot a few stand out records of that year too!
Night Songs by Cinderella
Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Dancing Undercover by Ratt
Abigal by King Diamond
Mechanical Resonance by Tesla

Devon said:

doood that album is the shiiit

one of my favorites!

Abigail was 1987, wasn't it?

nope

According to Metal Archives, BNR Metal Pages, their own discography, and my personal first-pressing CD, it was released in 1987.

Fatal Portrait was 1986. I have that original pressing CD too.

So I'm not wrong

The heyday year! I took the commuter rail from Lowell to Boston to see Dark Angel on the 'darkness descends" tour, with Possessed as openers!!! Holy shit that was a great show. Oh, and Knightmare () played too if memory serves me correctly (that was 10's of thousands of beers ago)...

Shit, that was even before I could go to any show that wasn't very close by. Once I hit 13-14 though, I was able to get in to Boston with friends and see shit, they almost never carded anyone it was fucking great. I got to see King Diamond, Candlemass, Kreator, Coroner, etc, and I was like 14 hehe.

Oh, and Drinkhardthrashhard, since you're from Methuen, do you remember a radio show on 'JUL called Rotten to the 'Core, playing mostly thrash and crossover stuff? That was my old radio show, from like 88-92. I was on right after Metallic Mayhem for a while...

its such a shame that i had to miss such a great time for music!.....damn im so wrong about that abigal thing! i so thought i was right!

In '86 I was ten and was fortunate enough to have had an uncle who played me the Ramones, Stooges and New York Dolls since birth. I was well on my way.

Night Songs by Cinderella and Mechanical Resonance by Tesla are great, Bon Jovi was, and is, gay.

RichHorror said:

Told you I was an old fuck. Are you comin' to see Ichabod friday?

Devon said:

Don't worry about it, I do it all the time, misplace shit by one year.

You know it. I can play you the mastered version of what IWEIPH in the studio sounds like as well, if you like.

Dave at work said:

Of course, the time you played Doom's cover of 'Symptom of the Universe' changed my life (or was that on Metallic Mayhem). I still have tapes lying around I think with partial recorded shows. I really wish I could get a show there, we should bring back Metallic Mayhem AND Rotten to the Core. I have so much shit (either legit or copied) that I could probably just use my own metal library and not the ULowell archives. I don't have the Trish lisp though.

In fact, if someone can get me that Doom mp3 to iconslaughter@gmail.com it will probably once again change my life.

I used to listen to Metallic Mayhem and then stay up late for Rotten to the Core. And I still never missed a day of high school, and in fact, thanks partly to those shows, I knew more metal than any fucking kid at Methuen High. We had this place called Headbangers Wall for metalheads & punks, when I was a frosh there were tons of kids there every lunch period, but by the time I was a Senior it was like me and two other guys. Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains had taken their toll.

90% of the kids there never got more underground than like Exodus and Testament anyway.

RichHorror said:

I'll get them to play it on the sound system there between sets! I know the sound man pretty well, as I'm sure you do...

DrinkHardThrashHard said:


Amazing! Of course I remember the Doom cover of Sabbath!!! I might still have the vinyl, I'll have to dig a little. You remember Infestation right? I was just hanging with Mark (bassist) at his pad up in N. Conway NH last week...he played me Mike Desalvo's new project with Mike Hubbard (also ex-Warhorse) on drums; it's strange shit but cool. The singer in a band I was in for a long time sang the creepy female vocal parts on their demo. The good old days!

I remember Infestation, Atomicaust, Hearing Impaired, Blatant Disregard, Subjugator, Deslok (I AM A RELIC OF DEPRESSION! OF MISERY!), Terrasphere, Executioner, Peanut Butter Anarchy, Krucix (homeboys from my town), Demise, Seka, Formicide, Mortuary, just about everything!

Turbo by Judas Priest was that year too...i like that record although a lot of people don't

I love that record too. It's a 'fun' Priest album, with catchy tunes.

i like a lot of the catchy glam shit in the 80's actually i love all that glam shit going back to new york dolls, bowie, lou reed, KISS of course (my all time favorite band)....i've always liked shit that is something to watch as well

I also love the 80s KISS. I wasn't a fan of Bon Jovi or Poison or any of that, I did like Cinderella somewhat on the first two albums. A couple of the glam bands were heavier (Fifth Angel, House of Lords, Bang Tango), those were pretty good.

But for me, mostly it was thrash/speed, early death, hardcore, prototype black metal, and the classic NWOBHM influenced stuff.

DrinkHardThrashHard said:

No shit! I know our paths have crossed...I was in Hearing Impaired, which morphed into Dimmak, then Worldseed, then Bitter (with Bean from Deslok on drums, KB from Wrecking Crew on vox, and Chris from Slapshot on bass), and finally in the many early incarnations of Ichabod, with whom I still play. Greg from Subjugator plays bass as a matter of fact, and at least one of my bands played with every one you mentioned...my favorite Deslok tune was "Saltwound", which I always used to play on Rotten to the Core...we must hang out, when are you guys playing the area again?

DrinkHardThrashHard said:

Damn, as far as that borderline glam shit goes, don't forget Circus of Power, or Gruntruck, two of my faves!

I'm sure I've at least been at some of the same shows. I was pretty young back then, but I would go any chance I could. I dont' really remember Bitter but I do remember Worldseed and Dimmak.

Extinction Agenda is playing Thrash Metal Thursday, June 15th, at O'Briens. I think you might get a kick out of that, a pretty much oldschool night, set up by Alex. There is another thread for it here.

NWOBHM fuck yeah! ...Bang Tango is good i have one album...as far as 80's KISS goes...Creatures of the Night is their all time heaviest album! and Lick it Up is fucking heavy as well!

Dave at work said:

You have invoked the name of the mighty Gruntruck, probably THE BEST FUCKING SEATTLE BAND (along with Seaweed) AND THEY NEVER GOT ANY FUCKING BREAKS!

Seaweed!!

Seaweed was a seriously great band, I'm glad I got to check them out a few times live. More of a punk edge than the other grunge.

Yeah, I was obsessed with that band. So jaw-droppingly great.

Did you see them at the first Warped Tour? They were great then, and I also saw them with Into Another before Hollywood Records collapsed and both those great bands lost their big chance.

I remember that. I was convinced they were right on the edge of mainstream hugeness.

Totally. What was the last record they put out? Inactions and Actions or something? I remember it being less interesting than the first five.

Candlemass - 'Epicus Doomicus Metallicus'

one of my alltime favs

for some reason i thought this was gonna be about the Mets. I was ready to rage...

succubus said:
pics please.

In 1986...I jerked off alot.
And was a year into learning guitar.
I also smoked my first reefer.

I thought this was about george orwell

That's 1984.

The world still needs Metallic Mayhem and Rotten to the Core.

AUTOPSY_666 said:

i was 2! i wish i could have been a teenager in the 1980's, getting into extreme music must have been much more exciting and fun, since stuff like thrash, death and black metal was totally new.

It was.

damn some of u making me feel real old. i was born in 1971. So 1986 I was a sophmore in high school. My cousin was a 'thrasher' as in sk8ter and was into a lot of punk and metal. I got introduced to metal in 1983.

I was 12 years old and my cousins use to sk8 around with this HUGE boombox and a crate of tapes. I went one day with them as they reeked havoc and they would BLAST Suicidal, Slayer, Metallica, Motley Crue (yes), Maiden, Anthrax, Twisted Sister (oh yes), Sabbath, Queesryche, Judas Preist, Motorhead, Venom and an all time fave Heathen's Rage! At first I remember how awful the music was but the more I hung around my trouble making cousin the more i started to enjoy these early 80's metal bands.

By the time of 1986 came around I got heavily into the new wave of thrash metal/German thrash. Dark Angel was awesome! Darkness Descends I thought was so 'scary'! Master was phenominal! Kreator was so fresh sounding, Sodom was bow down awesome, Overkill was kick ass...

i could go on and on about all the bands i loved then but i really liked the thrash sound of the time era of 1988-1991. but Nirvana had to appear and destory it all.

i can say, when i was in HS i was an outcast. there were only a handful of us that were metalheads or the "druggies" as everyone called us (we actually didn't do drugs! drank but). I went to HS in the burbs so... a lot of my peers had no idea about this music. The popular stuff in high school from 1985-1989 was pop music. electronic pop. i couldn't stand it. The Police was still kinda popular at that time as kids wore their shirts.

it has been sooooooo long since i thought back to those times. now i feel real old thanks guys.

You're older than me man, I'm born in 74.

gee thanks :(

86 was the year i became metal also. i got puppets and it was all over!
indeed a great year. 88 was an awesome year for metal also!

Animal_Magnetism said:

i agree with you on that one! amazing album!

OldSchool said:

Hey, that was respect! Not an insult!

Dave at work said:


damn i remember all those bands, we would all play together! i was in Dysphoria who turned into carrion and ultimately Mourndrear, we played with infestation, delusion, exhumed(way before they were shadow's fall) , desolate, morgul, csdo, mortuary, living impared, toxic narcotic, lacrymator... i still think delusion was the best at that time. they rocked! my friend actually used to sing for krucix, i don't know how long, but damn old shit here. where you from methuen? i was living in methuen when i was 11 through 13 ish, and moved away. i used to have like this satanic cult of venom/king diamond worshipers in the 5th grade that i would hang with lol! them's were the days.
before emo and new metal

once you hit 30 it's all the same! we are all old! ahhhhh!

DrinkHardThrashHard said:

Didn't they come out in 1987?

I didn't get Nintendo until the next year, but later on I had this magazine that listed the release dates for every game. Zelda was August of 1987, I forget when Metroid was exactly but I think it was around the same time. Mike Tyson's Punch Out was October 1987, though, I remember that.

Damn I know lots of useless information.

ha ha ha, regardless, no doubt that they were amongst the best games ever!

Nope, both came out in 1986 for the NES.

Tygers of Pan Tang kick A LOT of ass. i miss all of the mp3's i had of them :(

Hahahah, I actually don't like them much, well, if you were into that more commercial NWOBHM style.

they are wicked fun. its not anything really mind blowing... but when you want to listen to something old school and upbeat... they are a great choice.

I have their discography around somewhere, a few of the early records were okay, but damn, I love some other NWOBHM so much more.

Bwah ha ha... the year I was born. Yes!

DrinkHardThrashHard said:

Well then that magazine lied to me... and I'm pretty sure it was a Nintendo Power, too. I blame Nester...

Eh, it happens, everything I can find says 1986, and for the NES (earlier for the Japanese counterpart Famicom).

The Legend of Zelda series (often shortened to just "Zelda", "TLoZ" or "LoZ"), first published on February 21, 1986 by Nintendo, is a series of video games created by the celebrated game designer Shigeru Miyamoto. In Japan the series is known as ゼルダの伝説 (Zeruda no Densetsu), often shortened to just ゼル伝 (Zeru-Den). The games are primarily set in a fantasy world, in the Kingdom of Hyrule, although some have been set in different countries or other equally fantastic worlds. The gameplay consists of a mixture of action, adventure, role-playing, and puzzle-solving, occasionally with minor platform elements. The series is known for its beautiful and inspiring settings, creative gameplay, stirring original music, and high overall production values. It is widely considered one of the most influential video game franchises ever created. It also claimed the #1 spot on G4's 100 Greatest Games of All Time. As of September 2005, the Legend of Zelda series has sold 47 million units.[1]

1986 it is.

The only thing I love more than being right is being right twice.
