[HamburgerBoy]

That's stone cold wrong. It was released in December by a Japanese record label, not sure why anybody would even bother disputing a literal fact like that.

Per IQ studies the Japanese are second-in-line to claim over title of intellectual masterrace, gotta stay on top.

2. Teitanblood - Seven Chalices
3. W.A.I.L. - Wisdom Through Agony Into Illumination and Lunacy

And that's the bottom line, 'cause CASSETTEISGOD said so.

Best one of your whimsical posts so far

 

[no country for old wainds]

Hey no country, I recall you mention earlier that you're only doing the years from 1980 to 2009. Why not include 2010-2015 as well? I'm sure some people enjoy doing the 2000s years, I know I do because they're less predictable and have the most stuff I haven't heard.

anyone else got an opinion on this? my rationale for not including them was mainly that they're recent enough that many people here probably participated in threads for those years at the time, and i was thinking i'd probably do a best of decade poll in a couple years time. but i'm happy to add these to the hat so to speak, if people wanted.

not gonna lie, feel like it's been a few rankings in a row without any interesting 'controversy' for the top3, top5 etc. not sure why we're doing this year tbh

 

[The Ozzman]

I do have 10 after all:

1) Illdisposed - To Those Who Walk Behind Us
2) Amorphis - Skyforger
3) The Chasm - Farseeing the Paranormal Abysm
4) Revocation - Existence is Futile
5) Immortal - All Shall Fall
6) Heaven and Hell - The Devil You Know
7) Megadeth - Endgame
8) Dying Fetus - Descend Into Depravity
9) Funebrarum - The Sleep of Morbid Dreams
10) Goatwhore - Carving Out the Eyes of God

Mort will probably say my list sucks but fuck that asshole.

[The Ozzman]

^ Katatonia above Cobalt? Oh come on.

Honestly I dont know why they are in anyone's list. That Katatonia album sucked and Cobalt is abomination for black metal

 

[EspaDa]

You sir are stupid. This opinion is preposterous.

 

[Dak]

I don't like BM all that much as a subgenre, sue me.

 

[The Ozzman]

You sir are stupid. This opinion is preposterous.

Go to your sister's wedding and stay there you fuckshovel

 

[EspaDa]

The fact that you don't like black metal shouldn't make you hate Cobalt automatically. Hope you die of heart attack fatty.

You are seriously stupid you fucking Polack. Where did I say I hate black metal?

 

[EspaDa]

I bet that sucks like most black metal

Another stupid opinion btw.

Triggered. Proves Dak's point.
