One of my most favourite heavy guitar sounds is this old bootleg of Mercyful Fate from 1981/1982, playing Shadow Night.
Even with the crappy YouTube compression it still sounds great. Such a heavy grinding sound but has that midrangey ring and "kerrang" for lack of a better description.
It's like the speakers are breaking up and ripping, but it sounds awesome.
It this from just using a cranked 100 watt Marshall Plexi into a 4x12 loaded with 25 watt Celestions? (Well two of them, one per amp). On the other hand I think both guitarists Hank Schermann and Mike Denner both using full stacks, so I guess that would minimise the speakers being pushed to near past their limit?
Here it is anyway
