Riot - Thundersteel
 

Yea i can agree to that, everyone keeps certain albums close to their hearts for various reasons. Nevertheless i promise to listen to the rest of the albums with an as unbiased view as possible. Black Metal is like venting for me similar to a very strong emotion plus im fond of the wicked and evil themes. So yeah im trying to get into this genre even more with time and explore everything i can. Also i noticed that all these albums have some of the most satanic and deprived and fiendish album titles i've ever seen! You ever get this feeling when listening to an evil as fuck album and looking at the disgusting album cover at the same time and thinking "man i might summon a demon with this record" 🤣
I used to be an exclusively Doom/Funeral Doom guy but after spending some time in other forums with some thrashers and black metal dudes i have thankfully been infected with these genres ever since 😅 O-Ok please i'm blushing when you say such embarassing things 🙄 Like how could i possibly contribute anything significant to your ears when i'm just barely dipping my toes into music. Still it feels nice that you enjoy what i post and i can certainly say the same thing on your end.

To be fair I've seen more than a few people cite that debut as their favorite Inquisition album of them all. For me it's my least favorite of a completely stacked discography. Great album but they're all great, and they can't all be #1. This happens to be my all-time favorite metal band we're talking about here, any genre, they don't have any bad albums. So ranking them can become very arbitrary, we all have our own various personal reasons for liking one album from a band better than another. You might listen to them all and conclude that I was out of my fucking mind, because that's their best album. So take whatever I say with a grain of salt and please listen for yourself. Every album has something to offer and is worth your time. If you're into one of them you'll probably love them all. If you hate black metal altogether like certain narrow minded people do, then yeah you'll be wasting your time with any of them. But I've seen you post enough black metal to know that you'll dig it. You have some pretty broad and varied tastes for someone your age. You've posted a wide array of shit here on these pages in a relatively short time, I could probably learn a lot from you.
Nefarious Dismal Orations is unquestionably my favorite Inquisition album. It also happens to be the first one I ever heard as I was just getting to black metal in 2007 and it was the new release, so my introduction to the band. But that's really not why I like it the best. There are a couple of distinctly different eras of the band's sound. The debut which you've heard and the following two albums were what I call the 'early period' and they had some pretty raw production. The second album Invoking the Majestic Throne of Satan is my favorite of the early ones. Unbelievable riffs on that album.
This album NDO from 2007 is like the bridge between that early period and what I'll call the 'modern period' starting with Ominous Doctrines where the production got noticeably cleaner and Dagon really established his very unique sound and songwriting style that compensates for not having a bass player. The next three albums after this one, Ominous Doctrines 2010, Obscure Verses 2013, and Bloodshed 2016 are all absolutely incredible and have a somewhat similar sound. Ominous is the best of these 3, I think that'd have to be my overall 2nd favorite Inquisition album. I was fortunate enough to see them play live four times within the timeframe of this modern period. Life changing experience for me each and every time.
But then in 2020 he released Black Mass for a Mass Grave which had a distinctly new and different sound than anything that had come before. So now a new era of Inquisition has been born. Don't know what to call it as "modern" has already been used. Guess I'll go with the 'melodic era' as a lot of people had some reservations about that album when it came out, thought it was overly melodic, not brutal enough possibly, and they wondered if maybe Dagon was going soft on us or something. But as so often happens with repeated listens that album has revealed itself to be absolutely amazing. 4 years later it's now one of my favorites and most listened to Inquisition albums. Their latest Veneration of Medieval Mysticism came out earlier this year and the style sounds pretty similar to Black Mass so we're still in the melodic era. But something's slightly off there, I can't quite put my finger on what it is. I haven't given it enough listens to really figure that record out yet, so I'll let you see for yourself. Guess I know what I'll be listening to now today.

Me neither, but i'm glad i found them out! What caught my attention was the original goofy album cover where a barbarian of sorts battles a green pterodaktyl or something 😅 I'm happy you like it! Lately i've been enjoying a lot many heavy/power metal bands with these screeching vocals idk why maybe because it sounds so epic and glorious to my ears. 
I would die from the cringe that surrounds my entire existence but there's still more shit to listen to 🤣

Death - Vivus! (2012)
 

Really?! I'm surprised cause it had some really killer riffs and very unique vocals. But yeah as you said it comes down to tastes. This now this just makes me more excited for the rest of their discography 😁
Whiplash - Insult To Injury
 

Metal Church's Blessing in Disguise, Hallow's Eve or Cirith Ungol
I know that being a relic from the rocking chair generation I should be expected to know these bands and albums, but I don't. I do truly love the 1984 Metal Church debut, but that's as far as I go with them, just like that one album. Hallow's Eve is a bit like Nasty Savage in that I know the name, but it always sounded suspiciously like Iron Maiden or something, a band I'm not fond of so I never investigated. Cirith Ungol is a band whose name I've read is pronounced with a hard C like Kirith and it's based on some fantasy thing which just irritates me so I've intentionally ignored them all these years. It's bad enough I can't remember to pronounce Celtic Frost with the hard C like Tom does in the interviews, because back in the day we always called them Seltic Frost. It's a habit I've been trying to break, even though I'm just thinking the name in my head usually. But I could never turn my back on them, they're one of my all time favorite bands, and Tom G Warrior is one of my personal metal gods. One of the few 80's bands that still gets regular spins.
But anyway when judging 80's metal first and foremost I go by the riffs. That's where it all begins and ends for me. If I like the riffs and the guitar sound, and there isn't anything about the production that I specifically find annoying, (80's metal production was often hit or miss, see: The Legacy) then next I go to the vocals: can I tolerate them or not? That's my thought process. Don't have to like the vocals, just feel that I'd be able to tolerate them while focusing on the riffage. Most thrash and speed metal from that era had absolutely atrocious vocals as far as I was concerned, which is why there are only a handful of 80's thrash metal albums I'd ever want to revisit all these years later. 
 
Hallows Eve - Death & Insanity, Atlanta GA 1986. Yeah this fucking sucks, I'll only be staying with this one for as long as it takes me to type a couple of sentences about it. I sometimes forget just how bad some of the songwriting was in the 80's. Cringe City. It's so bad I'm embarrassed for them. No wonder these guys never went anywhere. Nasty Savages were way better than this crap.
 
Cirith Ungol - One Foot In Hell, LA 1986. I went with their highest rated (92%) album on M-A. This is 3rd tier low-grade generic low budget bargain bin 80's metal. Cover art is dog shit. But I'm immediately won over by the cool guitar solo in track 1. Vocals are much better for me here, this dude's not going for all these squealy high notes, he sounds like an adult whose testicles have already dropped into place. So already I like these guys a lot more than Hallow's Eve or the Nasty Savages. I might listen to this whole damn thing. 100 MPH song is a skipper biut I'll allow them one or two of those. This album isn't a 92%, but I'll give it a solid 80%. Reminding me of Razor a little but for some reason, might have to check in with those Canadians today.
 
Metal Church - Blessing in Disguise, Seattle 1989. Metal Church is the case of a band that shot their entire load on their first album and then couldn't ever get it up again. Their creative balls were forever dry after 1984. The only reason to listen to anything from these guys is based on the strength of that first album. If they had never released that 1984 self-titled classic onto the world no one would even remember them. Because this third album is straight garbage. How does a speed metal band decide it'll kick off the album with a boring slow song? Wasn't completely terrible, but it should've been buried on side 2 somewhere. Second song is just plain bad. Third song is a little bit better and faster, best track so far (relatively speaking) so why didn't they lead with this one? Still nothing here that can touch the first album. 4th track is the epic side 1 closer with the requisite acoustic intro, but as epic closers go it's lethargic and fails to captivate. Fellow 1961-er Vanderhoof can play, but since 1984 he hasn't been able to write good songs to save his life. Side 2 opener is another generic boring one, don't think I'll be finishing side 2. I'll go listen to the debut to get the bad taste of this crap out of my mouth. But wait track 6 just came on, The Spell Can't Be Broken. Holy crap, finally a good song! Pretty bad when you get all the way to track 6 (out of 9) before you've hit a good song. Track 7 is a banger, this absolutely should have been the album opener. With such a scarcity of quality material, why the fuck would they bury this in the middle of side 2? Track 8 was just meh, last song Powers That Be is alright though, nothing special but I can dig it.  My verdict is they should have shit-canned side 1 completely, just kept tracks 6, 7 and 9, and then just gone back to the drawing board to write some more songs. How this shit gets a 91% on M-A is truly baffling. I'd give this album more like a 67%.
 
Razor - Shotgun Justice, speed metal Toronto 1990. I almost always go with Violent Restitution or Evil Invaders so I'm consciously changing it up here. In Shotgun Justice we have another undeserved 91% album on M-A. I mean it's alright, but this is no 91%. 75% maybe. The other two Razor titles I mentioned would be 90's probably, or close to it. But hey this album is still way better than other more well known 1990 titles like: Seasons in the Abyss, Impact is Imminent, Persistence of Time or Coma of Souls. But it's not up on the level of a Spectrum of Death, Souls of Black or The American Way. I knew I should have gone with Malicious Intent.
 
Their least great album IMHO (aside from the latest one which I still haven't made up my mind about yet) but it's still great in its own right.
