[Astral Poetry]

This board isn't very informative, most people will name turds like Cryptopsy's "None So Vile", Nile's "In Their Darkened Shrines" and Emperor's "In The Nightside Eclipse".

I don't quite see how "In The Nightside Eclipse" qualifies as a 'turd'. Sure it's not the best black metal album (especially production wise), but it's far from shitty.

As for my list:

Black metal:
1. Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
2. Summoning - Dol Guldur
3. Immortal - Pure Holocaust
4. Graveland - Thousand Swords
5. Burzum - Filosofem
6. Mütiilation - Remains of a Ruined, Dead, Cursed Soul
7. Averse Sefira - Battle's Clarion
8. Nokturnal Mortum - Goat Horns
9. Emperor - In The Nightside Eclipse
10. Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger
*My preference is subject to change, though the top 3 usually stay the same.

Death metal:
1. Gorguts - Obscura
2. The Chasm - Deathcult for Eternity: The Triumph
3. Demilich - Nespithe
4. Therion - Beyond Sanctorum
5. Immolation - Dawn of Possession
6. At The Gates - The Red in the Sky is Ours
7. Necrophobic - The Nocturnal Silence
8. Deicide - Legion
9. Miasma - Changes
10. Amorphis - The Karelian Isthmus

Meh. I exaggerated a little, but I still think it's mediocre, and I don't like praising mediocre stuff. Nice list, by the way.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

I don't listen to much DM so I'll stick to black metal:

1)Emperor-Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk
2)Dissection-Storm of the Lights Bane
3)Dimmu Borgir-Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia
4)Emperor-In the Nightside Eclipse
5)Nargaroth-Herbstleyd
6)Enslaved-Below the Lights
7)Burzum-Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
8)Ulver-Bergtatt
9)Ulver-Nattens Madrigal
10)Emperor-Prometheus:The Discapline of Fire and Demise

Theres a good chance this will chnage sometime soon...

5.Malevolent Creation- The Ten Commandments
4.Nile- In Their Darkend Shrines
3.Morbid Angel- Alters of Madness
2.Deicide- Deicide

I could only think of 5 BM albulms:

5.Naglfar- Sheol
4.Burzum- Det Som Engang Var
3.Darkthrone- Transilvanian Hunger
2.Emperor- In the Nightside Eclipse
1.Mayhem- De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas

[Tanith]

How can anyone actually enjoy Six Feet Under's music?

 

[no country for old wainds]

He's on the 'wow, I have shitty taste' planet. crimsonfloyd, however, is more on the 'what the fuck is black metal?' planet.
