Saint Vitus - V
Candlemass - Nightfall
Pentagram - Relentless

[ohiogrinder]

these:

Darkthrone - Soulside Journey
Darkthrone - Under a Funeral Moon
Obituary - Slowly We Rot
Ulver - Bergtatt

I'd recommend Nightfall as well, but thats one too many

 

[The Ozzman]

and Darkthrone pulls into the lead with 8 for SJ

Flotsam & Jetsam - No Place For Disgrace (I live, you DIEEEEE!!!)
Primordial - To The Nameless Dead

Solitude Aeturnus - Beyond the Crimson Horizon

 

[Belligerent]

Arsis - A Celebration of Guilt <- phenomenal album!
Primordial - To The Nameless Dead
Satyricon - Nemesis Divina
Deathspell Omega - SMRC

 

[zabu of nΩd]

...that I should order when I get paid next week

Have fun.

I recommend the two Darkthrone ones, because I've only heard 3 or 4 of the albums on that list, and those were the ones I liked.

 

[Vilden]

Manowar - Into Glory Ride

Wtf! Hail to England is clearly more essential!

But oh well, all Manowar albums up to and including Kings of Metal is pretty much essential.

 

[The Ozzman]

Here's how it's shaping up so far:

Darkthrone - Soulside Journey
Devourment - 138
DsO - SMRC

Those are the top three. The fourth is a toss up between a ton of stuff, so I'll probably just pick something from the list at random.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Those are definitely the best picks so far. If you get Fas, you'd be going along with all my recommendations also.

 

[The Ozzman]

I'll probably get Flotsam and Jetsam since I've been wanting that for a bit

 

[Eerie Isolation]

The 2 Deathspell Omega albums, Primordial and Dark Medieval Times
