#13) ANNIHILATOR - Alice In Hell (Roadracer 1989)
Jeff Waters is a shred-headed Canuck institution, having stuck to his guns through a vast catalogue of precision, accessible thinking-man's thrash, rocking now more than 20 years down the line. But back in ’89, we had the band’s debut, a “commercial” thrash semi-classic along the lines of MEGADETH (rumor has it Mustaine has always wanted to work with Jeff), ANTHRAX or METALLICA, not without faults, but studded with metal events, production plushness, and precision rhythms that would presage the rise of PANTERA. Pretty weird seeing DOA’s old vocalist Randy Rampage in this pure and committed metal guise, but there ya go. Waters is known for his revolving door of musicians, but certainly one of those consistent, treasured Canuck metal all-stars.

Who the fuck is Kim Mitchell?

Where the fuck are Razor and Soothsayer ???

Je suppose que Razor est dans les 12 premiers, Soothsayer ou même DBC, je serais surpris qu'ils soient là, mais bon, je me demande de quoi ça va avoir l'air au total. J'ai hâte de voir c'est quoi le premier du classement, si c'est Kataclysm, je fais sauter leurs bureaux.

c'était le leader d'un groupe assez méconnu des 70's , MAX WEBSTER.

et ANVIL ?

bah attendez l'annonce des 12 premiers bande de nouilles

Les 12 premiers, c'est les 12 autres albums de Voivod (je compte pas le dernier).

Et Nickelback?

Sinon, il manque les Infernäl Mäjesty, Aggression, Thor, Goat Horn, Deaf Dealer, Black Knight, Fist, Savage Steel et devrait y'avoir le compte, mais ça m'étonnerait... J'vois bien quand même IM, Thor et Fist dans le classement.

j'aimerai bien DEATH DEALER et SACRED BLADE, mais quelque chose me dit qu'ils n'y seront pas.
Il devrait avoir 1 APRIL WINE, 2 RUSH, 2 VOIVOD, 1 MAX WEBSTER, 1 STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, Forged In Fire d'ANVIL et 1 RAZOR.

sans oublié robert charlebois

where the fuck is Marcel Beliveau ???

et gilles vigneault !

Ah ta gueule Jo Dassin!

Après le classique d'Annihilator en #13, voici le #12 et sa metal inquisition by guillotine.

#12) PILEDRIVER - Metal Inquisition (Cobra - 1985)

Complicated history to this dirty thrash conundrum, PILEDRIVER being something of an assembled ruse that produced, hilarious, half tongue-in-cheek insane metal gold, led by the irrepressible persona of one Gord Kirchin. The magic of this two record band of rascals (second album was ‘86’s Stay Ugly) was in its grit and groove, although quality metal riffs and very cool yet scowly vocals made sure attention was kept and a sore neck was had by every headbanger. The business side of it was, predictably, a bitter war of words between management and band, all the more impassioned because it is thought that the two records wound up selling half a million copies combined. Kirchin to this day is deservedly pissed, but we've heard plenty of similar stories in rock n' roll! Musically speaking the likes of 'Alien Rape', 'Sex With Satan', 'Witch Hunt' and the fist-pumping title track are still quite venomous and relevant in 20011! Kirchin recently resurrected the band as THE EXALTED PILEDRIVER (Metal Manifesto was released in 2008) and continues to get his angst out on stage!

Kirchin remarked to BW&BK: "WOW! I'm speechless if not honoured.. ok, not nearly as speechless as greatly honoured, ha ha. It's just nice to be remembered, eh!! It's really too bad the business end never came together, because I always felt we could have been massive.. alas, 'tis nontheless my distinct pleasure to have been involved in original metal at all, let alone to be considered somewhat influential in Maple Metal! That other people like it enough to name it on a favorites list of any kind is as heart-warming as it is humbling, let alone on a list of such grand scope as this one. When I see press in various countries, my most rewarding bit is reading that we're a Canadian band, because they INVARIABLY go on to comment on the incredibly high quality of Canadian Metal in general.. and I'm deeply honoured to be present amongst this recollection Canadian giants."

Même s'il a été composé des Américains! En même temps, je trouve ça un peu poussé de le mettre en haut d'Alice in Hell! Ça reste un album que j'apprécie, à la fois très crade et mélodique avec un côté bien délirant.

me rappellerai toujours du vinyle en vitrine d'une librairie tout ce qu'il y a de plus normal à Québec

Du RUSH ensuite, et je pense qu'ils seront à nouveau dans le top 5, voire le top 1 qui sait.

#11) RUSH – Hemispheres (Anthem – 1978)

RUSH calls Hemispheres the album that nearly broke the camel’s back. Recording in England again, the band found themselves assembling a record (their sixth) that was often difficult to play and even more often, difficult to sing. Furthermore, the guys had created their second side-long epic, and concepts throughout were lofty and deeply prog-steeped. Side one we are greeted with the near 20-minute monster, 'Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres', whereas the flip-side features the instrumental masterwork 'La Villa Strangiato', ‘Circumstances’ and the addictive tale called 'The Trees' - the latter pair released as singles. Hemispheres in all its sci-fi/fantasy glory peaked at #47 on the Billboard's Pop Albums chart and was the precursor to the trio's bubble bursting worldwide and with major success stories of Permanent Waves (1980) and Moving Pictures (1981).

pas d' OBLIVEON ni d'INFERNAL MAJESTY qu'on aurait pu objectivement espérer entre la 20ème et la 30ème place...
à côté de ça tu retrouves CRYPTOPSY en 18ème position, pourquoi pas PURULENCE dans le top 10 tant qu'on y est !

bien naze ce classement... ou alors il faut l'intituler top 30 MAINSTREAM

C'est sur que Slaughter, Sword, Piledriver ou Sacrifice c'est la crème du top 50

OUI

Arf, grillé par Guardian.

Car je trouve que c'est déjà pas mal varié et non pas uniquement LEMAINSTREAM ou LETROOUNDERGROUND.
