25 BEST DEBUT METAL ALBUMS


Chuck Schuldiner / Ozzy Osbourne / James Hetfield
A debut album usually acts as a foundation for an act to build upon, but sometimes a band’s first attempt is innovative enough to launch them into the stratosphere of legends. Musicians will often say that you’ve got your whole life to write your first album, and acts such as Iron MaidenBlack SabbathDeathMetallica and more took that sentiment to its highest level.
There are few impacts more exciting than when a metal band gets it right on their first try, becoming overnight sensations who stick around for decades as their introductory work doesn’t age a day. This is a tribute to the 25 metal bands who made the most significant impacts with their debut full-length album.

NO. 25: ANTHRAX, ‘FISTFUL OF METAL’ – BEST DEBUT METAL ALBUMS


Anthrax, 'Fistful of Metal'
Megaforce

Anthrax‘s debut album, ‘Fistful of Metal,’ isn’t only the first piece of the band’s legendary career, it’s the album which birthed the term “thrash metal.”
Some of thrash’s greatest masterpieces (which you’ll see later in this list) had already been recorded and released, but the first song to ever be called “thrash metal” was Anthrax’s ‘Metal Thrashing Mad.’ The massively influential ‘Fistful of Metal’ is the act’s only full-length with Neil Turbin on vocals, and the 10-track record even contains a thrashed-out cover of Alice Cooper‘s ‘I’m Eighteen.’
