If you could only own one metal record, what would it be?

achris is the man tbh

Don't be a complete faggot.

Down is considered sludge. It has Phil Anselmo on vox, but it's decent. Give it a shot.

I thought Rex was also in Down.

 

[The Ozzman]

I thought Rex was also in Down.

Not on the first record

 

[DarkBliss]

not particularly eloquent, but i agree with the sentiment. there is no doubt in my mind that TRITSIO is the greatest piece of art in existence, however, if im stuck isolated with just this for music, it would be too heavy nihilistic and inflexible with respect to mood.

Yes, I think you would be correct to choose the more ear-firendly stuff over TRiTSiO because imo, overexposure to a a specific extreme metal album tends to burn you out faster than any other music and you risk losing the special bond you had with that record.

I'd have a hard time choosing between these two:

 

[ivry91]

I like all the Agalloch choices here.

I suppose another album i'll think of is Theatre of Tragedy self titled.

 

[entanglement]

Primordial - The Gathering Wilderness, imo.

Probably this, or

Primordial - Spirit the Earth Aflame
Reverend Bizarre - In The Rectory of the Bizarre Reverend
Esoteric - Epistemological Despondency
Radiohead's second and third (Highly debatable, but yes, I consider them metal)

:danceboy:

 

[Uthark]

Primordial - Spirit the Earth Aflame

I just got this today, fucking awesome album, especially The Soul Must Sleep.
