Darkthrone, Burzum, Graveland, The Chasm, Immolation, Bolt Thrower, Inquisition.

It is pretty uncommon for metal bands in general to break the '3 great albums' barrier.

Fuck your right. Well i guess for the most part it depends on your standards of what a great album is.

Definitely, I'm being a bit lenient with some of the ones I listed counting like 8/10 as great.

Burzum, not really, I'd say exactly three. Darkthrone, maybe barely if I insert my personal love of Goatlord, otherwise it's exactly three. Graveland and The Chasm are irrelevant. Immolation, not really. How many post-debut Immolation albums are required listening? A lot of them run together. Bolt Thrower, convince me that the answer isn't zero. Inquisition, who cares.

In my honest opinion though id say Voivod has 5 great albums (Killing Technilogy, Dimension hatross, Nothingface, The Outer limits, and Target Earth), an ep(Post society), and a Demo (To the death). Id also say Angel Rat and Katorz are really good albums.

Your remark on Bolt Thrower is really making it hard to take you seriously. Also perhaps we should focus on the general consensus of what metal heads tend to think rather than personal opinion on this specific discussion.

What is the most influential, innovative, and interesting Bolt Thrower album? Is it more creative than South of Heaven, an album considered unworthy during this discussion of great/seminal albums?

How is The Chasm and Graveland irrelevant? Both are widely considered to be extremely consistent bands.
Burzum - 4.5 (first 4 plus the Aske EP)
Darkthrone - first 5 (I also really love Goatlord as well but we'll leave that out)
Graveland - First 4 at least and a demo.
Immolation - Again first 4. Here in After is where they became more unique and Close to a World Below is generally their most critically acclaimed one.
The Chasm - 5 (I'll leave off the first two as they aren't as well known as the following 5.)
Definitely, but we've already spoke about them in this thread and HBB isn't a fan so he'll just shoot them down.

Det som engang var is definitely on a lower level than the other three.
Panzerfaust is not a classic.
Here in After, Failures for Gods, AND Close to a World Below all included seems excessive. I'd argue that Dawn of Possession is pretty overrated and nothing special anyways.

Varg invented atmoshit and brought "minimalist" garbage into metal. Still very creative and important albums, however.

But you can't reject it if you're factoring in classics and not classics. Classic doesn't always = good, great or special.

I agree with this, but it's still generally received as a great album. I thought it'd be Hvis or Filosofem that you personally had an issue with, though.
You didn't say "classic", you said great albums. Obviously a lot of my list if way off if we're only including classics. If we're talking about the wider metal community as well then we'd probably have to say 5/5.5 for Slayer.

I would say that kind of thing has been done before him and done much better.

In that case, there are plenty of thrash bands with four or more great releases, including Slayer.
