Bride. A Little Help?

Kinetic Faith is a great album. A little rawer than Snakes but the same style of blues influenced hard rock/metal. Fairly easy to find also.

Live To Die and Snakes are my favorites as well but Kinetic Faith is
not far behind. Silence is Madness and Scarecrow Messiah are a bit
lower on the scale, but again, not by much. All 5 of those are well
worth getting in my book.

Bride were trend chasers, no doubt about it, but no matter what they
did, they did a top notch job of it. If you like any of the styles they
did, getting the album(s) in that style is a good idea.

Live to Die - Great album. Dale's voice soars on this CD.

Definitely their best IMO.

In High School before I started lifting weights I just did pushups to the sound of Here Comes The Bride. No song has ever got me more pumped than that one!

Jock.

You have no idea how inaccurate that statement is!! I started lifting to overcompansate for being a short, stocky, slow-witted, balding young man! (To quote our King!)

Sweet. I'll put it in the cd shuffle with St. Anger, The X Factor and Helloween's Chameleon. All classics.

LOL!

It;s already been said, but Live To Die is a GREAT METAL album, one of the best classic Christian Metal albums. IMHO, in the same category as Detonation by Bloodgood and Atomic Arena by Barren Cross. I wish they would have stay in that vein of music. That said, I also like Sankes In the playground alot.

OK guys, let me ask this. (It's a thread within a thread!)

If you didn't already have them and could buy them would you buy...

Bride
====
Show No Mercy
Live To Die
Silence Is Madness

or

Tourniquet
========
Stop The Bleeding
Psycho Surgery
Pathogenic Occular Dissonance

?

All are reissues, so the question of how much they are worth isn't pertinent.

I'd go with the Brides, but only cuz I never liked Tourniquet much.

I know that's not much help.

I'd probably go with Tourniquet, but you can't really go wrong with any of those releases.

ult

I'd DEFINITELY go with the first three Tourniquet albums first.

I was leaning towards the Tourniquet as I would also like to pick up Microscopic Realm and ...Moth and Rust.... but I wanted expert opinion.

I would go for the Tourniquet first.You will find yourself going back to the Tourniquet much more than Bride.

The reissues of those TqT discs are really well done too IMO. They sound great and the extended packaging is nice. Although I don't like the new cover they put on Pathogenic Ocular though.

Bride for me. I hardly ever pull out my Tourniquet cds.

TOURNIQUET....not even close.

You just have to be different dont ya

For some reason I've never explored Mortification (until last year) and Tourniquet. Bride has always been a curiosity to me, but it seems like a comp album may do me with them. I will be purchasing these Tourniquet albums with my booty from my CD sales. Thanks for the advice!

...your booty (implants) makin' a lot of money for you, is it?

Troy, they don't call it the "moneymaker" for nothin'.

You can't go wrong with ANY of those except Show No Mercy.

I'll be right there with you collecting Mortification. I had their first three as a teen and absolutely loved them. But never anything after that....and no longer have any of my old cassettes. It ain't gonna be easy or cheap building a Mort cat. But It's at the top of my list this year.

Metal Mind Productions is going to re-release eight or nine Mortification titles within the next coupla months... so at least you should be able to find'em easily...

And you won't have to take out a second mortgage to pay for original pressings either.

oh SMOKIN'! That should help! Rad Rockers has an "import" of Scrolls, which smells like a poor cdr package to me....for $15 bucks no less.

DON'T get that "import" from RadRockers. It'll be a cheap sh*t CD-R and a cover made on a color Xerox machine. I got hosed for tjhe same amount of $ on their so-called "import reissue" of Sacred Warrior's OBSESSIONS a coupla years back.
