The Most Headbang Worthy Albums

[Necromunchkin]

Name 'em folks. Those albums that just so viciously require you to self-punish because of musical badassness.


Not all by any means, but for myself:


Iron Maiden- Killers
Metallica- Kill 'Em All
The Sword- Age or Winters
Mayhem- De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
Possessed-Seven Churches
Bloodbath-Resurrection Through Carnage
Morbid Angel- Alters of Madness
Darkthrone- Panzerfaust
Morbid Saint-Spectrum of Death
Immortal-Pure Holocaust
Defleshed-Under the Blade


Edit: can't believe I left off:

Celtic Frost "To Mega Therion"
Bruce Dickinson "Chemical Wedding"
Judas Priest "Painkiller"

 

[flying_whale]

nevermore-this godless endeavor
metallica-and justice for all
sepultura-arise
dragonlord-black wings of destiniy
testament-the gathering or the legacy, can't really decide
necrophagist epitpath
morbid angel-domination

 

[Lunar Still]

In no order:

Nevermore - pretty much all the albums
Sanctuary - Into The Mirror Black
Megadeth - Killing Is My Business
Death Angel - Act III
Exodus - Bonded By Blood
Iced Earth - Horror Show
Evergrey - The Inner Circle
Overkill - Horrorscope
Amon Amarth - Versus The World
Witchery - Dead, Hot and Ready
Finntroll - Jaktens Tid
Emperor - IX Equilibrium
Solitude Aeturnus - Beyond The Crimson Horizons (just for Seeds of the Desolate)
SYL - Alien

Not all my favorite albums, but the most neck-wrecking.

 

[DriftAlongLiquidSky]

Dark Angel - Darkness Descends
Nile - In Their Darkened Shrines
Megadeth - Rust in Peace
Psycroptic - The Scepter Of The Ancients

I can definitely think of more but im lazy.

[MajestikMøøse]

this album doesn't make headbanging... headbanging comes to it...

Amen to that!

Arch Enemy- Burning Bridges
Exodus- Bonded By Blood

Celtic Frost- Morbid Tales
Mercyful Fate- Don't Break The Oath
Death- Individual Thought Patterns
King Diamond- Abigail

[Metal head87]

Don't forget about the Celtic Frost classic, "Cold Lake."

C'mon, that album wasn't quite as bad as people made it out to be.
This may just be coming from a Celtic Frost fanboy, but that album wasn't exactly Poison or Motley Crue like a lot of people make it out to be.

 

[Will Bozarth]

In Flames - Reroute to Remain
Children of Bodom - Hatecrew Deathroll
Iced Earth - Glorious Burden

 

[Dying Freedom]

Fates Warning – The Specter Within

"The Apparition" is the greatest heavy metal song ever.

And by ever, I mean EVER.
