So I was playing this arcade shmup called Wivern Wings (Wyvern Wings in the US), and the music sounded familiar :)

For the uninitiated, this is a Korean game, and in the arcade industry Koreans were largely known to blatantly rip off assets and ideas from major Japanese hits. Here the gameplay is obviously inspired by Psikyo shmups, but the OST has more global "influences". I can hear two Metallica and one Iron Maiden already, and combined with crappy sound hardware & bad emulation listening to them is a blast :)

But I've never been a big fan of old school trash and heavy metal, and am missing most of the tracks. Let me identify them, please?

Here are nice convenient Youtube bookmarks to all music tracks:

1- Genocider, https://youtu.be/Y-GcmydGCj8?t=16
2- Tidal wave, https://youtu.be/Y-GcmydGCj8?t=156
3- Typhoon, https://youtu.be/Y-GcmydGCj8?t=304
4- Evolver, https://youtu.be/Y-GcmydGCj8?t=427
5- An antlion, https://youtu.be/Y-GcmydGCj8?t=581
6- Deicide, https://youtu.be/Y-GcmydGCj8?t=731
7- Heaven's Gate, https://youtu.be/Y-GcmydGCj8?t=852
8- Boss theme, https://youtu.be/Y-GcmydGCj8?t=958
9- High Score screen, https://youtu.be/Y-GcmydGCj8?t=2088
10- Credits sequence (I couldn't really make sense of this one...), https://youtu.be/Y-GcmydGCj8?t=1022

Have fun!

1. Is totally Slayer
2. Metallica
3. I don't know about this one
4. Iron Maiden
5. Sounds like Megadeth to me. Can't put my finger on it though
6. Metallica ... duh!
7. Megadeth
8. Sounds like Megadeth and Slayer (i have no idea)
9. Metallica
10. End credits is Megadeth on a piano... weird

Uh that is what I think atleast, most of them are pretty obvious if you own their '80s albums.

You can try one of these:

1. Slayer - South of Heaven
2. Metallica - Creeping Death
3. Sepultura - Attitude (verse riff and another one a bit into the song)
4. Iron Maiden - 2 minutes to midnight
5. Carass - Black Star
6. Metallica - Battery
7. Pantera - Cowboys From Hell
8. Dont know this one...
9. Metallica - Fade to black
10. This one is weird, the first part sonds familiar but I'm not sure what it is, sounds a little like the Megadeth- family tree intro but in a diffrent key, probably is not that... a bit later is the intro from Pantera Cowboys From Hell

Holy shit number 4 is 2 minutes to midnight.
The similarity is uncanny.

Thanks a lot folks!

Number 10 could very well be bad emulation, iirc MAME didn't have the music emulated at all until recently.

Thats because it IS Two Minutes to Midnight. *facepalm*
