Bands in metal that never top their first album.

Sarcofago! Nothing beats "INRI".

I've never heard any albums by them other than that one.

 

[Hammer of Might]

Onslaught

 

[Mercy/Severity]

I disagree with Agalloch, I think The Mantle and Pale Folklore are pretty neck and neck.

Thyrane. Black Harmony is on another level to their following albums

 

[Life Sucks]

Cathedral. Forest of Equilibrium is their best, though most of the others are good, too.

 

[Impudent]

I've never heard any albums by them other than that one.

I have "The Laws of Scourge". It's not bad, but it lacks a lot of the black and death metal elements that make "INRI" so awesome. It's more of a thrash, or possibly death/thrash album. I'd compare it to Sepultura - "Arise".
