To be honest, I haven't really listened to much Chains outside of their first three albums. Nothing against Duvall, but it just isn't the same without Layne.
I'm soooo ready for live shows. Covid really ruined these last few years, but I'm excited to finally be able to start seeing some live music again. :3 First show I'm going to is the Megadeth/Lamb of God tour. ^^
Can't go wrong with either of those! Agent Orange is a killer album by Sodom, and pretty much everything from Death is excellent. I don't know if you're really into melodeath, but Hypocrisy has some great material. Same goes for Children of Bodom, my all-time favorite band. If you're looking for recommendations, Hypocrisy's self titled album and Abducted are two of their greatest imo. Or, you can check out Hatebreeder and Follow the Reaper by Children of Bodom.
