Destruction - Infernal Overkill

Best Proto-Black Metal album ever?  Yes.  You can forget about Venom, Bathory, Sodom, this album surpasses anything those bands have done.  Even better than Celtic Frost.  "What makes it so good?"  The atmosphere?  The Speed?  Nope, it's all about the riffs bro-ham.  This album is crammed full of long, grandiose riffery.  Not only that, but it also marks a turning point in the genre where bands started to leave the rudimentary NWOBHM sound of Venom, and started using chord progressions that actually sounded "dark", befitting the name "Black".
