Bathory – Return of the Darkness and Evil 1992 Produced by Quorthon – Black Mark Records
The Return of Darkness and Evil was the second album from Bathory and, what many can argue, also the most evil. Legend says the album was recorded after just one practice in a drunken stupor, and by the sound tightness and out-of-time drum track, I bet that is probably true.
Nevertheless, that album has gone down to be one of the most influential black metal albums of all time, and some say the best.
Voivod – Killing Technology 1987 Combat Records
Killing Technology is the third studio album by Canadian heavy metal band Voivod. It was released in 1987 on noise Noise Records and was the first to combine elements of progressive rock in the band’s thrash metal sound. According to interviews contemporary to the release of Killing Technology, by 1986, Voivod was more influenced by hardcore punk and crossover bands than by other metal bands, with only Kreator and Motörhead still appreciated by all band members. A music video was made for the song “Ravenous Medicine”. Estimated sales are more than 60,000 copies worldwide. (SOURCE: WIKIPEDIA)
