Favorite 25 Metal Bands?

[ChaosLee]

So it's apparently the Swedes and myself with the bathory worship in these parts? I have seriously been listening to Quorthon for over half my life, we're talking eighteen plus years. only Iron Maiden, Danzig (in the form of Misfits/Samhain), Metallica... and oddly Quiet Riot have been with me longer. Don't judge.


Doomsniffer/Krill Reese's: Solace is rad. Like oldschool Soundgarden/Fu Manchu/Sabbath with fun twists.

[Dick Sirloin]

If Bruce Dickinson counts, then throw him into my top 12

 

[ChaosLee]

You could count Bruce Dickinson as a singular entity for Chemical Wedding alone. I think I was lumping him in with Iron Maiden, much like King Diamond and Mercyful Fate.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

That's pretty much what i did (the fact that adrian smith is on a few of those albums really helps my cause)

I fucking love Varathron. The deep gaseous vocals with the slow melody that is directly derived from heavy metal and heavy rock makes me feel like I'm walking through a swamp.

Probably my favorite song:

The Single?




LOVECRAFT


DUNE

 

[einride]

If Bruce Dickinson counts, then throw him into my top 12

of course that counts, it's a band, just with the name of the singer

i love varathron too but i have to ask: what the hell is a tressrising

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Will listen to these when I get home, hopefully drunk. I used to have that walpurgisnacht album, but I think I ended up selling it to someone here
