[General Zaroff]

I'm lazy today-

The Absence-From Your Grave

 

[Zephyrus]

Debut albums that are the best of the band's material:

Mysticum - In the Streams of Inferno
Sethery - Kholera
Zyklon - World Ov Worms

 

[The Ozzman]

The only one that comes to mind right now:

Metallica - Kill 'Em All

 

[zabu of nΩd]

It would be slightly more interesting to list debut albums that are also your favorite for the band. So that's what I'm gonna do:

Down - NOLA
Opeth - Orchid
Ozzy Osbourne - Blizzard of Ozz
Venom - Welcome to Hell
Yngwie Malmsteen - Rising Force

That excludes bands I've only heard 1 or 2 albums of (except Down, because they just kick fucking ass).

edit: honorable mention for Black Sabbath's s/t, since it's my second favorite.

 

[Mort Divine]

Reverend Bizarre - In The Rectory of the Bizarre Reverend

 

[Alongside Death]

Vomit The Soul - Portraits Of Inhuman Abomination
Aeon - Bleeding The False
Arkhon Infaustus - Hell Injection

Eps counts?

 

[Death head]

Decapitated's Winds of Creation, not only is this release still rip, the average age of the band members when they released this album was 14, listen to the track Nine Steps on there and take that into consideration.

 

[CaGeD iN]

Woods of ypres - demo - against the seasons (if demos count)
Woods of ypres - first full length - pursuit of the sun and allure of the earth
katatonia - dance of december souls
memento - beginnings (not metal, but good band)
