Favorite Debut Albums

[Zephyrus]

I'm close to nominating Vader's The Ultimate Incantation, but I haven't heard De Profundis so I can't be sure.

 

[Mort Divine]

Shit, there's way too many to list. These come to mind:

Necrophobic - Darkside

I'm guessing that you mean The Nocturnal Silence

 

[Satanstoenail]

I'm not usually a fan of most bands first albums, usually I find bands take a couple to get their sound right.

Black Sabbath - s/t
Deicide - s/t
Entombed - Left Hand Path
Brutal Truth - Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Responses
Suffocation - Effigy of the Forgotten

 

[Slayed Necros]

I'm guessing that you mean The Nocturnal Silence

Indeed! What a terrible mistake.

 

[IWP]

Metallica - Kill 'Em All
Overkill - Feel the Fire
Poison - Look What the Cat Dragged In
Exciter - Heavy Metal Maniac
Exodus - Bonded By Blood

 

[Matt]

Shit, there's way too many to list. These come to mind:


Gorgoroth - Pentagram

I respun this today, and it is very good! Reminds me a lot of new Satyricon.

 

[EyeballKid]

cheesiness galore:

Armored Saint - March of the Saint
Dio - Holy Diver

 

[Rumpole]

Pagan Altar - Lords of Hypocrisy

Not their first.

 

[Captain]

For the second time, EP's and Demos do not count.

^Indeed it is not. Shit.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

For the second time, EP's and Demos do not count.

^Indeed it is not. Shit.

I can't list anything from hellhammer???

Celtic Frost - Morbid Visions

 

[Zephyrus]

Celtic Frost - To Mega Therion

It was their first full-length, and I think their best as it was a great combination of their thrashy/blacky/deathy/ early days and the more avantgarde stuff we would see on Into the Pandemonium.

 

[Sabin Frost]

Cynic - Focus
Be'lakor - The Frail Tide
Mar De Grises - The Tatterdemalion Express
Meza Virs - Vida Sacrificium Meum Est
Rainshadow - End Songs
Draconian - Where Lovers Mourn
Virgin Black - Sombre Romantic
Lykathea Aflame - Elvenfris

There are lots of debuts I love, but all of those are outstanding and stand up as 9-10's not just as great debuts.

 

[username345]

Psychotic Waltz ~ A Social Grace
Iron Maiden ~ Iron Maiden
Opeth ~ Orchid
Mercyful Fate ~ Melissa

 

[cookiecutter]

Suffocation - Effigy of the Forgotten
Devourment - Molesting the Decapitated

 

[Skepticism]

Dark Tranquillity - Skydancer
Opeth - Orchid
In Flames - Lunar Strain (pretty much the only good In Flames album)
Lykathea Aflame - Elvenfris
Dismember - LAEFS
