Debut albums

[SculptedCold]

 

[Ivan the terrible]

 

[Henrik Main]

Their only above average release.

Erhm, if you choose not to take into account that "Nihility" is one of the best albums ever, of course

My picks:

Enslaved - Vikingligr Veldi
Emperor - In The Nightside Eclipse (unless you count "Wrath Of The Tyrant")
Arcturus - Aspera Hiems Symfonia
Satyricon - Dark Medieval Times
Cryptopsy - Blasphemy Made Flesh
Dismember - Like An Everflowing Stream
Entombed - Left Hand Path
Gorgoroth - Pentagram
Ulver - Bergtatt
Troll - Drep De Kristne
Monstrosity - Imperial Doom
Metallica - Kill 'em All
Suffocation - Effigy Of The Forgotten

To those who mentioned "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas" - that wasn't Mayhem's first album.

 

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

fuck you!

Yes because we all know The Key isn't a completely classic and innovative tech. death thrash album.

 

[Ivan the terrible]

Enslaved - Vikingligr Veldi

 

[Crimson Velvet]

That's probably the most stupid thing I've ever written...

Allow me to change that to "Hvis Lyset Tar Oss".

If there is such a thing as sacriliege, I think this would be it...

Oh man...

 

[Thanatopsis123]

I guess I'm not a huge fan of debut albums comparatively. I don't agree with a damned one of you. Well...maybe on Skepticism but I'm still just not sure (I really have a make a point of listening to Farmakon more).

 

[Perdition's Light]

Yes because we all know The Key isn't a completely classic and innovative tech. death thrash album.

but...you said it before me...

 

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

but...you said it before me...

Oh was that the problem.

Shit I thought you were doubting the awesome.

Sorry again.

 

[Melodeath]

Opeth - Orchid

 

[Melodeath]

Psycroptic - Sceptre of the Ancients

That's actually their newest/second album.

The Isle of Disenchantment was their debut.

 

[RosesofShadow]

Amorphis - The Karelian Isthmus
Theatre of Tragedy - S/T
Nocturnus - The Key
Samael - Worship Him

 

[Wicked Child]

Cause of Death was, I think, by far Obituary's best.

Don't get me wrong, i really like Cause Of Death, but i dunno man....Slowly We Rot just sounds better to me.

 

[Victim of Deception]

Another non-metal one many would probably disagree with...

Alice in Chains - Facelift

 

[Poison God Machine]

That was actually their 4th album.

My bad. The only albums I knew of theirs were Nosferatu and A Distant Thunder. Thanks for the correction though.

Also, add Machine Head - Burn My Eyes to my list. Probably my favorite debut ever, and I don't care if Pyrus hates me for that selection. After all, I think Eternal Nightmare is pretty damn good too.

 

[Poison God Machine]

Another non-metal one many would probably disagree with...

Alice in Chains - Facelift

I don't disagree with you. Facelift is great, and is one out of a select few grunge bands I even remotely care for. Although it was originally marketed as metal, because it came out before the initial grunge rush of late 1991/early 1992.
