Old topic, but I've got one: Pantera!
They always felt fake to me. First two (or three?) albums were shitty glam metal, and then they decided to hop on the popular thrash bandwagon.
Still didn't work for me, still posers.
I still need to check them out! Will make sure to do so soon!
I'm sure you'll like it! :D
I can't really say, actually. The bands just need to have IT for me.
Some kind of spark, energy. I like it when there's originality like Voivod, but also some insanity or full on rage...
Funny thing is: I've seen others compare Enforced to Power Trip, yet whereas Enforced gripped me immediately, I don't feel anything with Power Trip. They miss that spark for me. And I've tried many times. Just doesn't work for me.
Fuck yeah! First two albums are great!
Second one slightly better than first for me.
This is from their first album, and for me still their best. They went more death metal after this, still very good (check the No God album), but the atmosphere/sound of None Shall Defy is completely unique. Glad you're enjoying! :D
I'd say you should! :D. Voivod is such a unique band! Each album has a different vibe, yet always clearly Voivod. From pure thrash to prog to their version of wave-rock, it's all there.
My recommendations:
-Killing Technology (thrash with sci-fi vibe)
-Dimensiön Hatröss (still thrash, more sci-fi, enter prog)
-War And Pain (first album, LOUD, pre-thrash, great nuclear atmosphere)
-Nothingface (more prog, even more sci-fi, mind-blowing structure!)
-Angel Rat (rock/wave, psychedelic, needs a lot of plays to get used to)
-The Outer Limits (prog/psychedelic, Jack Luminous!)
*Rrröööaaarrr
(I was disappointed with this one. It's the most thrash of all, but kinda feels like it should have been better. It has great moments, but the guitars are too far back in the mix, drums are overriding everything. Song-structure needed more work. But it's very aggressive! Like Venom on actual speed!)
Then there's the Negatron/Phobos era, different singer, but still good. Thrash with industrial vibes. Phobos my fav of the two.
After that, guitarist Piggy died. Such a loss. Three albums with his last riffs, less thrash, less prog, more rock'n'roll. I love that the band honoured him with these farewells, but the tracks are not great. Oh, and Jason fucking Newsted played bass on these albums! He basically kept the band alive during this period, imho.
Then the latest period, with new guitarist Chewy and bassplayer Rocky.
I love them, but for me the albums don't reach the hights of their older albums. They do go back to them, musically (thrashy prog), but I miss something, it feels a bit flat, acting it instead of living it...
But have a great time exploring! ;)

You're welcome!
Dawn's my fav female vocalist ever, but she's fairly unknown. Hope people will learn about her more... Sadly, she was pretty self-destructive (alcohol), so that first Fear Of God album was the last she recorded...
On my list for checking out ;)
