Bands in metal that never top their first album.

If you're suggesting that Storm is "not even close" to Somberlain in quality, I advise you to eat a dick

 

[byrne]

<Sarcasm>not at all</Sarcasm>

 

[Scourge of Malice]

Rapture
Ulver (sorry I just don't really like their new stuff and I think Bergtatt is the best of the first three)

 

[Killbot]

Ulver (sorry I just don't really like their new stuff and I think Bergtatt is the best of the first three)

You better be sorry.

 

[Zephyrus]

I've yet to hear hear Bergtatt but Nattens Madrigal was an absolute masterpiece to my ears.

 

[Crimson Velvet]

Mmmm... Bergtatt is bloody gorgeus! Definately the best thing Ulver ever did!

 

[Zephyrus]

Once I find it in a record store I will see about that.

 

[Mythos Inibri]

Paradise Lost

After their first album they really lost most of their killer doom element.They still had a good sound on alot of their stuff but it didn't really compare to their first release

 

[Susperia]

Falkenbach

I would like to see you explain that one to us.

 

[SheisMySin]

System of a Down for sure!


I have to say no to In Flames and Pantera. I think Colony and Vulgar are their best.

Scott

The first 3 in flames are pretty neck and neck.

I'm going to give storm of the lights bane another listen. I do not remember it being close to the somberlain. I'm really enjoying the new Dissection but it's still very different.

 

[Kreator/Destroyer]

System of a Down for sure!


I have to say no to In Flames and Pantera. I think Colony and Vulgar are their best.

Scott

i agree Vulgar Display of Power is an untochable album by pantera...now it will stay their best forever

RIP Dime

en their medk riki fara is Falkenbach's best album...quite easily.

 

[Impudent]

At the Gates.

Paradise Lost

After their first album they really lost most of their killer doom element.They still had a good sound on alot of their stuff but it didn't really compare to their first release

THeir first album has least doom elements on it.

Megadeth - never topped the cool, raw thrash visceral excitement of Killing is my Business.

 

[CF87]

I would consider lost paradise to have the bands most doom elements but it's still amatuarish and the band wrote 4 better albums after straight through.

 

[Under The Oak]

^ What he said. I think their debut was one of the worst albums in their career, as well as one of the worst doom albums ever recorded. It may sound harsh, but it's just so amateurish that it's not worth listening to.

 

[Carcassian]

I agree. Lost Paradise is mostly utterly worthless, other than a footnote in metal history.

I am not saying it's a bad and like it, just more saying it's amatuerish compared to some of the bands later works. It's still probably the first doom/death metal album ever recorded.
