Name ten metal albums you can listen to over and over again

[hibernal_dream]

So far so good the album I've seen get the most votes on here is The Mantle by Agalloch. Must be pretty good.

I barely have the patience to listen to it in one sitting, let alone over and over. Its good material, but so unnecessarily drawn out and sparse.

 

[Zephyrus]

Borknagar - Discography

 

[Killbot]

No,that's actually the total playing time of all the 372 songs the band has recorded, and incidentally, the number of pages in my copy of the Old Testament:zombie:

Who would have thought 1337 would be such a diverse and exciting number? Not me.

 

[Kreator/Destroyer]

Dismember - Death Metal
Dismember - Hate Campaign
Carcass - Heartwork
Bathory - Blood Fire Death
Metallica - Ride the Lightning
Sentenced - Amok
Kreator - Enemy of God
Soilwork - Stabbing the Drama
Suffocation - Souls to Deny
Suffocation - Pierced from Within
Dream Theater - Scenes from a Memory
Slayer - Reign in Blood
Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power

 

[Necro Joe]

I barely have the patience to listen to it in one sitting, let alone over and over. Its good material, but so unnecessarily drawn out and sparse.

Agreed, Pale Folklore and their newest are far more immediate and rewarding overall (or at least Ashes.. is certainly shaping up that way). But some people just fall in love with the Mantle, good for them I guess.

At The Gates - The Red In The Sky Is Ours

Flare, if you like extreme melodic metal/melodic death so much, try the albums in bold type.

...Aaaarrghh... - ...aaaarrghh...

Aaaaaaaaaaarghhhh, matey, ye ole' salty pirate

 

[Flare]

I've heard all of Soilworks older stuff, but I only own Stabbing The Drama. I have a mix of their older songs I long ago downloaded from the net (shame on me).

It's true, I love In Flames maybe a little too much. I have been trying to get into other bands. I'd like to hear some At The Gates, but I can't find any website or anything. I haven't heard much if anything about the other bands you listed DeathsSweatEmbrace.

You guys ever heard of Into Eternity? They're pretty good.

 

[Crapples]

I haven't heard much if anything about the other bands you listed DeathsSweatEmbrace.

Do yourself a favour and give each one a listen. Especially Arghoslent.
