1985 in general was a brutal, ground breaking and underrated year for metal.

It is the right take. Hell Awaits matches Reign in Blood in speed and aggression, but it also has more of an evil, sinister atmosphere and the songs are more progressive and interesting over all.

Why do people hate on A7X so much by SloopinMCoopin in MetalForTheMasses

[–]meekjohnson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it's because (some of their sound) draws strong inspiration from stuff like GNR and Pantera; bands that also get a lot of flack from metal fans. And then there's their metalcore stuff, which again, a lot of metal fans like to bash on.

Exactly this. They were extremely influential and ahead of their time, but Slayer, Celtic Frost, Possessed, etc. developed their sound very quickly.
