The new year is upon us, and want to share with you some records I feel they deserve either a second chance or to be discovered, is it for collecting means or just because you ended liking the music. This isn't any sort of best year's albums list, just some limited editions, hard-to-find-gems, or regular editions that simply are too damn good to get overlooked. There isn't any year, kind of release nor genre order here (although there's a very thin genre line, obviously focused in heavy metal), just a rambling bunch of music. Without entering quality standarts subjective contemplations, note that some suggestions feature special release features.
Enjoy!

1. Edguy - Age Of The Joker

2. Löbo - Älma

3. Sacred Sin - Darkside

4. Lords Of Bukkake - Desorden Y Rencor

5. Nami - Fragile Alignments

It's always the same riff… the same bass… for some reason you can't stop listening to it… it's appealing. The whole sound summons you into a spiral, a void… It's always the same thing, over and over again... it's driving you crazy, demented… it's so loud that you'll beg for someone to kill you. But the music won't let it! The music is up to kill from the inside, it's your soul it wants! That chord, trembling over and over again… ''please kill me… please for the love of God, somebody kill me!!! I can't stand it anymore!''

Back in the 2nd half of the 70's and beginning of the 80's, Heavy Metal wasn't a common expression among a people who had just discovered that there was a real world behind the invisible wall built by the dictatorship that had only fallen a few years earlier in Portugal.
"Beatnicks", "Aqui De'l Rock", and even "TNT" at the very beginning of the 80's, were some of the bands who had been releasing some singles and EP's of Hard-Rock, paving the rising of other bands that would work that sound, and release the first studio albums of Hard-Rock and Heavy Metal. It was a critical decade for heavy rock in Portugal. This chronologic list of studio albums only, features the ones, that i believe, to be the most important portuguese metal albums until today, as also all the records that pioneered and made possible the rising of the genre we all love, in Portugal. It's fantastic music! I'm not perfect, so the list may not suit the standarts of all users (the ones that are familiar with portuguese heavy music mostly) so i'll gladly appreciate all critics and comments, they are welcome. Any information you need regarding any of this bands or portuguese metal related, just PM me.
Either you're interested in portuguese music, or if you're just curious about it, or even if you are just passing by, this list is for you all. Enjoy!
