25 Metal Albums Everybody Should Own?

[The Butt]

Got the idea for this thread from another board... basically, post 25 metal albums that, in your opinion, no household should be without (You can do EPs too, if you like).

Here's mine, sorted alphabetically:

01 - 3 Inches of Blood - Advance and Vanquish
02 - Arsis - A Celebration of Guilt
03 - Arsis - A Diamond For Disease [EP]
04 - Behemoth - ...And The Forests Dream Eternally
05 - Behemoth - Demigod
06 - Black Sabbath - Born Again
07 - Black Sabbath - Dehumanizer
08 - Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
09 - Burzum - Filosofem
10 - Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
11 - Children of Bodom - Hatebreeder
12 - Children of Bodom - Follow the Reaper
13 - Cryptopsy - None So Vile
14 - Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger
15 - Darkthrone - Sardonic Wrath
16 - Dragonforce - Inhuman Rampage
17 - Iced Earth - Something Wicked This Way Comes

which ones don't you like and which ones haven't you heard of?

my taste in metal is very wide

 

[Inapprope]

which ones don't you like and which ones haven't you heard of?

my taste in metal is very wide

the stuff like my dying bride, saxon, nightwish, slayer, anorexia nervosa, anathema, iced earth are pretty much all bands i hate or dont like and ive never heard of wolven ancestry, trollfest or tristwood

 

[OvSeth]

I dunno how you can HATE music.. :S (Just my opinion, it's in general btw, not directed to you, Inapprope)

 

[Inapprope]

hate is being used as an exaggeratory term in this case i dont hate it for real but 'hate' is being used to describe how much i dislike these bands. like if you say to someone IM GOING TO KILL YOU. you dont mean it but its just to emphasize and no problem man
