Need help!

[Pull The Plug]

Alright, I am going to get a huge bunch of CD's soon (around 30) and I am after a lot of modern black/death/experimental metal and I just dont know where to start (i've got a list of 200+ new bands alone ).

I'm more after the relatively underground bands that get talked about a lot still (Deathspell Omega, Slough Feg...) around these forums.

So please, if I could get a really good list of what people would say as a top 30 modern (looking at year 2000+) black/death/doom/progressive/grind/weird/anything albums I would be grateful!

Gigantic Brain - The Invasion. Good look finding somewhere to buy it, i found it near impossible to get hold of.

 

[skeptik]

October 31 - No Survivors
Sourvein - Will To Mangle
Toxic Holocaust - Evil Never Dies
Anael - On Wings Of Mercury
Tearstained - Final Thoughts
Slough Feg - Down Among The Deadmen
Hammers Of Misfortune - The Bastard
other stuff

 

[Hammer of Might]

Sauron - Thrash Assault

formed in 2000, great blackish thrash - you've probably heard of them, but thought I'd mention

 

[Pull The Plug]

Thanks, i've looked into these and i'll definetely be buying some of this stuff. (I still have yet to hear Tearstained!)

Are the new Blut Aus Nord and Arcturus albums any good?

 

[skeptik]

No, they're fucking horrible.

Excellent, although I have quite a few of these albums there are also a lot I dont have. (1349, Watain, Tsjurder and In Battle I have had at the top of my list for a while, good choices)
