MonumentumCoroner - No More Color
Back in those days when the term progressive Metal was not clearly spoken in wider circles, you could fit some bands in the already existing categories, e.g. it was hard to categorize outfits like WATCHTOWER or LAST CRACK or SECRECY or even FATES WARNING. This also applied to the Swiss trio CORONER, whose 1987 debut was easily fitting in the European Thrash style but as soon as the follow up “Punishment For Decadence” had come out one year later it was obvious the horizons of this technical band were starting to broaden dangerously.

Ulver - Themes From William Blake's The Marriage Of Heaven And Hell
ULVER was never a band that remained stationary and Kristoffer Rygg (a.k.a. Trickster G.) was, and still is, an anxious spirit. The band released three albums before this one, two of them were pure Black Metal and their second that even though had little to do with Metal was a great folk album.

Sodom - Agent Orange
Let’s start by saying that I believe SODOM is the only one off the ‘big three’ of the German Thrash Metal that still remain approximately loyal to their initial principles. I know, it’s so mature to expect from a band to stick to its roots when performing for more than 25 years in a row but the directions and paths both KREATOR and DESTRUCTION once followed (or still follow) in their post-80s discographic steps have confirmed that the trio from Gelsenkirchen needs a special space in our heart for more reasons than just for their musical offerings all these years.

Grim Reaper - See You In Hell
GRIM REAPER worked during the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal era and were initially founded during 1979. They were (un)lucky enough to release their first full length LP in a year when the whole movement was settling down - at least in its original basis. The band centered on furious vocalist Steve Grimmett and notable guitarist Nick Bowcott and they were capable enough of gaining some international exposure with their three albums between the years 1983-1987.
