Products similar to Forbidden - Black Sabbath
No More Color - Coroner
Less showy.
Indecipherable vocals.
Dominator - Cloven Hoof
Fun eighties heavy metal about space and stuff.
Lousy production job spoils everything, and the music is a little less original.
The Sun Still Rises In The East - Big Mike and Statik Selektah
En Tierra Firme - Ars Amandi
For folk metal fans.
There are many better alternatives.
Navajo Joe - Ennio Morricone - Soundtrack
An infectuously wild and fun spaghetti western from the pen of the maestro

Tha Carter - Screwed & Chopped - Lil' Wayne
Hip-Hop & Rap - 2004
Battleheart - Battleheart
Strong and impressively varied debut from the Scottish pirates.
More clichéd than later releases, and some weaker songs.
The Last Men on Earth - Balzac
A few songs rip off the Misfits without quoting directly from their songs, which is a start I guess.
Sub-par copy-cat act.
Forever My Lady - Jodeci
Lots of bangers
A few tracks let it down
Volkurah / Bone Awl / Hammer 5 / Vordr - Split Release
Stripped down black metal / punk
Not particularly good
