GMD Votes: Top 20 OSDM albums

[The Ozzman]

I'm reluctant to even start over since some people here can't grasp the concept of composing a list given a set of parameters, but I guess I need to make it simpler for some of you to understand


Voting will close in one week. You will list your top 20 death metal albums IN ORDER. A number one album will get it 20 points, a number two will get it 19 and on down to 1.

So, for example if your top 3 albums are:

Effigy of the Forgotten
Dawn of Possession
Onward to Golgotha

Effigy gets 20, DoP gets 19, OTG gets 18

No honorable mentions or anything like that. Once voting is over, I will tally the votes and post them here.

The second round I will post the top 10 from round one and you will do the same thing there (#1 gets 10 pts, #2 gets 9, etc)

3rd round will rank the top 5 and then there will be an ultimate list at the end of everything and I will add this to the thread directory.

I will lock the thread at the end of each round so no one gets in late or whatever.


Parameters:

No more than two albums from any one artist
You may only choose one artist on your list that has one full length (ie you can't have both Mordicus and Demilich on your list)
Cutoff year: 2004

I don't get your parameters. Who gives a shit if they only have 1 album?

 

[viewerfromnihil]

1. Autopsy - Mental Funeral
2. Death - Human
3. Autopsy - Acts of the Unspeakable
4. Abscess - Urine Junkies
5. Demilich - Nespithe
6. Abscess - Seminal Vampires and Maggot Men
7. Atheist - Unquestionable Presence
8. Necrophagist - Onset of Putrefaction
9. Morbid Angel - Covenant
10. Pestilence - Spheres
11. Suffocation - Effigy of the Forgotten
12. Gorguts - Obscura
13. Pestilence - Consuming Impulse
14. Death - Spiritual Healing
15. Immolation - Dawn of Possession
16. Immortal Fate - Beautiful
17. Bolt Thrower - Realm of Chaos
18. Deicide - Deicide
19. Incantation - Onward to Golgotha
20. Solstice - Solstice

I'll come out and admit it: I've never listened to The Chasm.


edit: Ozz, pick parameters and stick with them. You retitled the poll to "OSDM" and changed the cutoff year to 2000, but then changed it back to 2004. I hardly see how you can call a 2004 album OSDM.

It just seems completely arbitrary. Now if I add Demilich I cannot add something like Molested?

I gave a guideline I want people to follow. If you don't want to follow it, don't post a list. I don't care if you think it's arbitrary or not.

It's designed to make you think: 'If I have two albums I want on there but can only choose one of them, which one do I really like more?'. It's something fun to do to alleviate some of the boredom this forum has at the moment.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

I'll give it a shot ...

1. Gorguts - The Erosion of Sanity
2. Death - Symbolic
3. Death - Leprosy
4. Gorguts - Obscura
5. Morbid Angel - The Covenant
6. Autopsy - Severed Survival
7. Suffocation - Pierced From Within
8. Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness
9. Pestilence - Consuming Impulse
10. Atheist - Unquestionable Presence
11. Immolation - Here in After
12. Atheist - Elements
13. Decapitated - Winds of Creation
14. Spawn of Possession - Cabinet
15. Cryptopsy - Blasphemy Made Flesh
16. Carcass - Necroticism
17. Dismember - Like An Ever Flowing Stream
18. Carcass - Symphonies of Sickness
19. Brutality - Screams of Anguish
20. Vader - De Profundis

Forced to leave a lot of classics out. Blessed are the Sick, Slumber of Sullen Eyes, Realm of Chaos, Cause of Death, The Rack etc.

I'm too much of a poser to be able to make a list consisting of 20 OSDM albums pre 2004 that I've actually listened to enough to have an opinion. I could maybe do 10.

 

[ProphetofHatred]

lol plebs. I couldn't even remotely come close to coming up with 20 favorite death metal metal albums. Even 200 would be hard for me.

 

[The Ozzman]

You should try ;-)

 

[Nephilim96]

Sucks that we can only list 2 albums per band.

1. Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness
2. Incantation - Onward to Golgotha
3. Death - Human
4. Immolation - Close to a World Below
5. Incantation - Mortal Throne of Nazarene
6. Brutality - Screams of Anguish
7. Death - Symbolic
8. Edge of Sanity - Crimson
9. Dismember - Like an Ever Flowing Stream
10. Morbid Angel - Covenant
11. Immolation - Dawn of Possession
12. Suffocation - Effigy of the Forgotten
13. Bolt Thrower - Realm of Chaos
14. Gorguts - The Erosion of Sanity
15. Cryptopsy - None So Vile
16. Bolt Thrower - War Master
17. Demilich - Nespithe
18. Atheist - Unquestionable Presence
19. Gorguts - Considered Dead
20. Devourment - Molesting the Decapitated

Ask me tomorrow and it would probably change.

Also, in B4 some fag makes a list with only Melodic Death Metal albums.

 

[Nephilim96]

4. Abscess - Urine Junkies

That's a compilation.

Yeah, this forum could use more discussion.

 

[divine_torture]

Man, 20 is so much more difficult than I thought.

 

[The Ozzman]

I don't understand the hype behind Close to a World Below. It is good, but you fuckers overrate it (per usual)

 

[Krow]

Since every list between the two threads I've seen so far is awful... (Well actually Mort's is pretty good, if dissimilar to mine)


1. Autopsy - Mental Funeral
2. Possessed - Seven Churches
3. Incantation - Mortal Throne of Nazarene
4. Bolt Thrower - Realm of Chaos
5. Morbid Angel - Blessed are the Sick
6. Cancer - Death Shall Rise
7. Immolation - Dawn of Possession
8. The Chasm - Deathcult for Eternity: the Triumph
9. Suffocation - Effigy of the Forgotten
10. Death - Spiritual Healing
11. Entombed - Left Hand Path
12. Deicide - Deicide
13. Carcass - Heartwork
14. Nocturnus - The Key
15. Cannibal Corpse - Tomb of the Mutilated
16. Devourment - Molesting the Decapitated
17. Cadaver - ....In Pains
18. Asphyx- The Rack
19. Arghoslent - Incorrigible Bigotry
20. Carnage - Dark Recollections

I think i obeyed ozzs goofy rules....

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... and then you post the worst looking list so far.

 

[Krow]

Says the guy that included Spawn of Possession in his list. Wtf man.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Cabinet > about half the stuff on your list. That album is fuckin' godly.

Death Shall Rise being on that list is hilarious, let alone a top 10 spot! Heartwork? Cadaver? Devourment? ? But it's all good ... different strokes.
