[Ivan the terrible]

Great album, but not their first.[/QUOTE]

Actually you are the one who is at fault here, "Sventevith" is Behemoth's first official release, everything else before this is demo stuff except for "And the forests dream eternally" which was an e.p.

 

[SlaughterofSoul]

A few that come to mind...
COUNTESS - The book of the heretic

That's not Countess' first album. Three albums were released before this one:
The Gospel Of The Horned One
The Return Of The Horned One
and my personal favorite Countess release Ad Maiorem Sathanae Gloriam

 

[Nico]

Satyricon - Dark Medieval Times

fuck you!

What?

 

[Perdition's Light]

What?

j/k y'all

I always thought From The Pagan Vastlands was full-length but I looked it up and it seems I was indeed wrong.

*hangs head*

 

[Burkhard]

Helstar - Nosferatu

That was actually their 4th album.

 

[byrne]

WTF? Testament - The New Order is by far their best. (I love The Legacy, but its not even close to the The New Order)

Machine Head - Burn My Eyes
Demigod - Slumber of Sullen Eyes
Eucharist - A Velvet Creation
Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness
Mayhem - DMDS
Necrophagist - Onset of Putrefaction
At the Gates - TRITSIO
Psycroptic - Sceptre of the Ancients
Amorphis - The Karelian Isthmus
Mercyful Fate - Melissa
Danzig - Danzig
Dissection - The Somberlain
Amon Amarth - Once Sent from a Golden Hall

SLAYER - SHOW NO MERCY: GREATEST ALBUM EVER

 

[Nico]

Psycroptic - Sceptre of the Ancients

Isle of Disenchantment was considered a full length, even though it was independantly released

 

[Minion520]

don't flame me but clearly System of a Down - System of a Down

 

[Ivan the terrible]

The Gospel Of The Horned One
The Return Of The Horned One
and my personal favorite Countess release Ad Maiorem Sathanae Gloriam

Shit you're right, my bad...

*Edits post*

 

[Intoxicator]

Vehemence - God Was Created ( it's their first album right? )

Nope.

 

[Christie_fell]

Falkenbach - en their miki fara (or whatever)

En Their Medh Riki Fara. But I personally think that Magni Blandinn Ok Megintiri is better

 

[Evil Ernie]

I prefer FSSD to The Legacy and The New Order... The production was sooooo bad on their first 4 albums. I also prefer Chuck's vocals on the re-records. Much more versatile now.

Oh and someone mentionned Helloween....can't agree with that. Keepers Pt1 is their best work by far.

Eh, the songs are too slow on the rerecordings, but the remakes of Alone In The Dark and Reign Of Terror with Zetro are the best things they've ever recorded.

Walls Of Jericho owns you.

 

[Crimson Velvet]

Amon Amarth - Once Sent From the Golden Hall
Amorphis - The Karelian Ishtmus
Borknagar - Borknagar
Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse
Enslaved - Vikingligr Veldi

Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
Night in Gales - Towards the Twilight
Sacriliege - Lost in the Beauty You Slay

At the Gates - The Red in the Sky is Ours (With the Fear I Kiss the Burning Darkness)
Burzum - Burzum (For All Tid)
Darkthrone - Soulside Journey (Transilvanian Hunger)
Dark Tranquility - Skydancer (The Gallery)
Dissection - The Somberlain (Storm of the Light's Bane)

In Flames- Lunar Strain (Colony)
Katatonia - Jhva Elohim Meth (Discouraged Ones)
Metallica - Kill 'Em All (...And Justice for All)
Satyricon - Dark Medieval Times (The Shadowthrone)
Slayer - Show No Mercy (Reign in Blood)
