These are some of the best Metal albums that turn 25 in this 2020 and that are important in the history of METAL

No doubts that Extreme Metal reflects good health, you can search the history of a library or in cyberspace, to find out that if we remember a quarter of a century ago, we found very valid productions. Productions that suggestively serve as a source of inspiration for the new generations or even more so for those of us who are perpetual consumers of these genres and are delighted to hear them.

These bands have evolved, have settled on the scene, have been renewed or disappeared. Glorious or disastrous stories where their musicians are the main protagonists of these productions that have given us sensations to continue living and notice how they have transformed or developed the genres such as Death Metal that currently border on technicality in a masterful way.

Behind these albums is the inspiration of the events of those moments or junctures. 

We perceive how some bands were born and jumped from anonymity, others were already having some success that brought them down in their creative capacity and ultimately gave us songs that are considered hymns to this day. The following are just a sample, there are many more from other genres, but for me and for my peculiar taste he dedicated a review to them so as not to forget them and share them because it is never too late to listen to them.

3RAMMSTEIN – “HERZELEID”

On August 28, 1988 one of the worst accidents in history occurred at an air show in Germany. It happened at the American base in Rammstein, three planes and a helicopter collided, three pilots killed and sixty-seven people in the assistants, plus some five hundred people injured. This tragedy caused deep consternation in the Bavarian country, which was still divided by the Berlin Wall, and so impressed the musicians of this band that it suggested the name for them and incidentally the first song of this their first production. 

Till Lindemann on vocals with his military accent, Richard Z. Kruspe on guitar and backing vocals, Christian “Flake” Lorenz, on keyboards and synthesizer; Christoph Schneider, on drums; Paul Landers, on the other guitar and in backing vocals and Oliver Riedel, on bass, gave us the starting point for a “germ” of Extreme Industrial-Metal with “Herzeleid”, which was gaining fame from the underground and its presentations Live where the musicians already pointed shapes to what are now their colossal live performances. 

Musically, their eleven songs, which include stylistic diversity in their pieces composed in a relatively long period of time because the band was creating its own personality, also shaping its sound. A compact and solid base, along with very original keyboards and samplers, from minute one of “Wohl Ihr Das Bett In Flammen Sehen” or another with a lot of raw sound mixed with disco rhythms like “Asche zu Asche” and his first single, with worldwide success “Du Riechst so Gut”, with techno dyes. This machine was well oiled, it started thejourney RAMMSTEIN with a lot of power and corpulence, but with the suggestive fact of singing in its corresponding language.
