[Mort Divine]

[The Ozzman]

[V.V.V.V.V.]

David, will do

 

[JGMetalhead]

Lol Ozzman...

But srsly Mort that is untrue, theres other death metal albums.

 

[Mort Divine]

Of course there are other DM albums, but not ones that are better than it.

One controversial, one not:

Mort is a gargantuan faggot... and... I dont like TRitSiO or any At the Gates at all.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

I think Burzum sucks ass and don't find them remotely interesting. Obviously I'm missing something but it's a bit odd cause I really like many of the bands influenced by them (Drudkh for example)

A lot of Bathory kinda bores me though I LOVE several of their songs. (A Fine Day to Die and a few others) Dunno maybe the rest of their catalog will grow on me.

IX Equilibrium is Emperor's best album, followed by ATTWAD and finally by ITNSE. Prometheus is boring as shite. (though I don't think that's controversial)

I am extremely bored by the vast majority of most "classic" death metal albums. Stuff like Obscura does it more for me. I like Cryptopsy a lot too.

I remember a lot of people here glorifying At the Gates' first album (or maybe second?). I tried listening to it multiple times but just didn't think it was anything special at all.

1. Burzum is fantastic (well the first four albums anyway). I wasn't too impressed on my first listen myself but when I heard HLTO my jaw dropped. Since then Burzum has become one of my favs.
2. Bathory has several excellent albums... not just songs. Try Hammerheart if you haven't heard it yet.
3. IX Equilibrium is an excellent an highly underrated album but simply does not touch the awesomeness of Nightside.
4. Classic Old School Death Metal is frankly far and away the best death metal ever. Nothing touches those old classics by Death, Morbid Angel, Pestilence, Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, et al.
5. The first ATG album is highly overrated (at least by certain persons on this forum) but it is still an enjoyable listen.

TRitSiO is really not that great. It's good, but there's nothing really remarkable about it.
Also, Hammerheart is not a great album to recommend, since the middle is pretty weak. Nordland I is much stronger.

 

[JGMetalhead]

Well come on now Mort... its not possible that At The Gates put out the best death metal album of all time.

 

[Mort Divine]

Uh, yes it is because they did.

 

[JGMetalhead]

I will argue no further about this... kinda stupid argument imo.

 

[-CC-]

I'm still looking for a death metal album that will top Nespithe

I'd like people other than Mort to refute this

 

[JGMetalhead]

Nespithe is unique itself but. Since I'm a big fan of Asphyx... "Last One On Earth" would be my pick out of many (Yes I'm sure theres better). Theres plenty of albums out there. But I wouldn't say its better. Just up there anyway.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I am in love with Nespithe and don't really have a definite top death metal album.

 

[Caecius]

It is basically impossible to have a top album of any genre. Some of my favs...

Brutality - Screams of Anguish
Vital Remains - Let Us Pray
Autopsy - Severed Survival
Terrorizer - World Downfall
Gorguts - The Erosion of Sanity

I still haven't listened to a lot of classic death.

 

[rms]

Realm of Chaos and Nocturnal Silence, off the top of my head, would be on it for me

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I'm still looking for a death metal album that will top Nespithe

 

[Mort Divine]

lol no

 

[A Journeys End]

You can call me a trendwhore or whatever but I've liked "Slaughter of the Soul" since the day it came out. The first two releases were meh.

your primordial fandom doesn't save you anymore.
