GMD Poll: Top Ten Albums of 1994

[HamburgerBoy]

It was banter you thin-skinned fuck. I've long acknowledged that I dislike metal's evolution since the early 90s. Show me where I've ever claimed otherwise.

So what were you saying I was being contrarian about?

9. Molested - Blod-draum

5. Molested - Blod-draum

Despite RYM this seems to be a 1995 release.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Edited. Gorement managed to make it after all.

Wish I'd been aware that Blod-draum was a '95 release when we did that year, it definitely would've made my list. RYM sucks.

 

[CiG]

Yeah unfortunately it's a lot easier to catch an album that doesn't belong in a game than it is to find an album that does but it's not listed.

Damn. A @Slayed Necros classic favorite was denied from your list due to RYM sucking.

Despite RYM this seems to be a 1995 release.

Damn I need to start verifying my shit. Hot swapped in HLTO (whoops - i guess I didn't) and added Eps.

1. Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger
2. Infester - To the Depths, in Degradation
3. Mayhem - De mysteriis dom Sathanas
4. Graveland - Carpathian Wolves
5. Bolt Thrower - ...For Victory
6. Mortuary Drape - All the Witches Dance
7. Solstice - Lamentations
8. Pentagram - Be Forewarned
9. Timeghoul - Panaramic Twilight
10. Morpheus Descends - Chronicles of the Shadowed Ones

A pretty safe list for now. still need to flesh it out most likely.

 

[Slayed Necros]

That Morpheus Descends EP rules.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

That Morpheus Descends EP rules.

It has some of the most crushing low-end mix I've heard from that era with maybe only Suffocation's Human Waste topping it.

 

[-CC-]

Alright, here we go

1. Grave - Soulless
2. Meshuggah - None
3. Cianide - A Descent Into Hell
4. Solitude Aeturnus - Through the Darkest Hour
5. Bolt Thrower - For Victory
6. Gorement - The Ending Quest
7. Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
8. Timeghoul - Panaramic Twilight
9. Machine Head - Burn My Eyes
10. Amorphis - Tales From the Thousand Lakes

HM: Emperor / Incantation / Edge of Sanity / Infester / Scum / Satyricon / Molested

This year was fun, but made me realize I've grown less and less fond of 2nd-wave black metal. DMDS still rules though.

WARCRAFT!

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Factual opinion: the first two Warcrafts shit all over the third

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

I never actually played the first Warcraft, but I remember being at somebody's house once and seeing them play it.

 

[Vilden]

Dune II vs Warcraft?

C&C vs Warcraft II?

 

[CiG]

Dune II vs Warcraft?

Warcraft.

C&C vs Warcraft II?

C&C.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Warcraft and Warcraft 2: i love both to death(two of my all time fav's) and played them for countless hours, but Warcraft 2 is the greatest SRPG of all time no questions asked

And Red Alert(not the fist C&C) was the direct competitor to Warcraft 2, and it was the best game of the series. I still play it sometimes.
