10. Sacramentum- Far Away From the Sun

I can't complain too much. Six of these records are in my top 12 and nine of these would be in my top 40. The only one I'm not crazy about is FAFTS, though I understand its appeal.

 

[End of Glory]

I'm surprised that Mayhem didn't make it... Also ItNE should have made it to the top 10 too but I can't complain.

1. Bathory - Under the Sign of the Black Mark
2. Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
3. Burzum - Filosofem
4. Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger
5. Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane
6. Master's Hammer - Ritual
7. Darkthrone - A Blaze In the Northern Sky
8. Sacramentum - Far Away From the Sun
9. Immortal - Pure Holocaust
10. Enslaved - Vikingligr Veldi

 

[crimsonfloyd]

If I'm reading the list correctly DMDS was beat out by Ritual by one point. Blame it on Attila.

 

[End of Glory]

And Beherit came on the last spot. I thought it would be higher since it got big love from some people here.

Not a bad top 20 at all, but surely some panties will get in a bunch over it.

That's just a few vocal idiots. It was at 20 on at least 1/3 of the lists.

It was on 20 for me aswell. I like Engram but can't understand why DDtM even made the top 20 in the first place. But as I said, some ranked it high in the top 20 so I'm just surprised that it ended on the last spot anyway.

 

[Nephilim96]

Nobody with a brain understands why DDtM made the list.

@Ozz: I know you said you probably wouldn't run another go around of rankings for stuff over again, but I think some way to do it in the future might be to do a band ranking, and then once some top 10 or top 5 bands are agreed on, then voting on the best album from that band. Might eliminate deserving albums from strong bands from not getting enough votes because of splits, and from having a bunch of albums by the same bands (looking at you Thrash list).

Maybe later on in the year. I do plan on doing the death metal one over again since I have a process down finally so we can do an ultimate 'Top 50' using the 10 best from each poll (so trad, death metal redux and an 'everything else' list).

Also: Let's keep the Beherit talk to a minimum in this thread. That took up like 5 pages in the last thread and I'm not having it again.

Yeah, DMDS deserves a spot on this list over Enslaved, but I am content with this.
