Okay, so I know Peter G will have a conniption over this, because it's not metal. But, one of the best-sounding releases I've heard in years is Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush's "Real Live" album, which could still blow the doors off.
"The White Zone is for loading and unloading only. If you got to load or unload go to the White Zone!"
Actually one of the best sounding heavy'ish albums I know is Led Zeppelin II (LP version american pressing).
Lots of dynamics !
if you're looking for as loud and as great sound sounding as you can get...
A bit 'old-school', but as someone mentioned above, Slayer - Reign in Blood, Also Trouble's 1990 self titled record. Both of those will crank as much as your stereos got and not distort.
both are on Def Jam and produced by Rick Rubin...I'll add Danzig's first album to that list too.
I'd try the first couple of Venom albums.
Something like this?
Not sure it's metal.
Alas I can't find his latest work Schattenspiel.
Although it sounds dated now, that drum sound from the first album was phenomenal for its time --- from what I understand it was done with two Sennheiser overheads but you guys feel free to correct me on that........ doesn't matter really, because the "tones" captured on that album are more from Bonham's finesse/touch/approach as well as fresh drum heads
Dude, really?why do they sound like Spinal Tap?
Well, I've got another one you'd prolly like too:
Devin Townsend Project - Epicloud
This release covers a lot of musical ground - but when it gets heavy, it's really on.
I recommend Fantomas: Delìrium Còrdia
Buckethead: Bucketheadland 2
Metallica: St. Anger (very unpopular album, but I love it)

Wo Fat: any
I'd like to go way back in time, but why not get yourself a copy of the MC5's first record, which was recorded live at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit? There is a reason that they first recorded on Total Energy Music! It's an astonishing record, and played loud- which is the only way it should ever be played- you will get only a sense of what they were like in person.
This is the disc:
But on a top-notch stereo system, it's mind boggling.
I'm not lazy. I just work so fast I'm always done.
I always considered them sort of heavy psych tinged blues-rock. I think Frank considers himself to be the evolution of what Hendrix was doing.
While the concept is plausible, I would bet that he would not make any Hendrix comparison. Yes, there are similarities. And, he certainly has a deep influence and has covered Hendrix. But, there was a bogus story many years ago that he claimed the be Hendrix reincarnated. It's totally false and he still has to deal with it.
I also think the blues label is too narrow though, as he plays a lot of jazz-based music. He's quite eclectic.
I will state that I think he's one of the best, if not THE best, guitar player out there. Sadly, he hasn't toured in years. I wish he would. I thought I read something here about health problems, but hope it's not true.
"The White Zone is for loading and unloading only. If you got to load or unload go to the White Zone!"
That's good to know that whole Hendrix claim didn't come from Frank- I didn't know anyone had ever claimed he said it himself but I knew it was something that clung to him. He's certainly got some Jimi influence but there's much more to him. The guy is a monster, for sure. maybe not quite in a Shawn Lane league but for sure better than that Bonamassa doofus
