I think it's pretty obvious that we're rating our top 20-25 Black Metal albums. Read the OP for more details.

We also did this for Death and Thrash Metal.
 
I did read the original post. I got that it's a black metal album ranking. But WHY? Is there a point to ranking these albums/genres or is it just for fun? Don't be a smart ass cunt.
 
To have the forum active.
To discuss and maybe find something new.
To see what albums will make it to our top 5/10 at the end.

Is there a point to anything we do on this forum? :D

Ozz is going to calculate each person's ranking and make a super ranking thing or whatever. Go check the Death and Thrash metal voting threads if you wanna see how it turned out.
 
I'm doing it for fun/research. I've never seen something like this done in a uniform manner on this board since I registered.

I'm doing the main 4 genres (trad being the next one). I'm gonna redo the death metal thread since that was a dry run and then compile each top 10 together for a top 40. I might do a power metal thread to get a top 50, but I don't know yet.
 
Yeah power metal/trad metal would be fun, but only if people dont make a list of maiden and priest albums.

Perhaps in time a death doom one
 
cook-ta's list was the most agreeable to me, so I'm basically copying his list and adding a few of my own picks.


1. Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
2. Darkthrone - A Blaze In The Northern Sky
3. Bathory – Blood Fire Death
4. Master's Hammer – Ritual
5. Ulver - Bergtatt
6. Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse
7. Blasphemy - Fallen Angel of Doom
8. Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
9. Enslaved - Below The Lights
10. Beherit - Drawing Down the Moon
11. Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane
12. The Ruins of Beverast - Unlock the Shrine
13. Mystifier – Göetia
14. Grand Belial's Key - Mocking the Philanthropist
15. Immortal - Pure Holocaust
16. Tormentor - Anno Domini


I am probably forgetting a bunch of stuff which is why lists generally aren't my thing but hey, this seems like a neat idea. :)

They've got about two weeks to release some pretty amazing records, because otherwise Priest, Sabbath and Maiden are gonna dominate my list. And no, I don't feel the least bit bad about it.

Mine will be very Priest and Sabbath-heavy. Especially the latter.
 
... lol, yea right. BM is actually actually dead last when compared to thrash, death and trad. Nothing from the top 5 here can compare to the top 5 from the TM and DM lists .. and i'm pretty sure the same can be said for the upcoming heavy metal list.
