[SculptedCold]

YaY, Bloodthirst made it!

 

[Under a Stone]

Nice! Both The Chasm's best albums are there.

 

[no country for old wainds]

That's pretty pleasing. A year ago the list here would have been hugely worse.

 

[MFJ]

Glad to see that the gallery made the cut, its fantastic.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Reign in Blood #1!

 

[J.]

I didn't vote, but it's refreshing not to see the more popular metal bands at the top of the list. And the inclusion of The Chasm, Graveland, Arghoslent and Neurosis are a pleasant surprise.

 

[SculptedCold]

A couple of things vex me. The lack of Windir, and the low placings of Summoning and Immortal.

 

[Funeral_Eclipse]

i dunno..i really like that list..lots of awesome albums...though i wouldn't place Reign in Blood as number 1

 

[no country for old wainds]

A couple of things vex me. The lack of Windir, and the low placings of Summoning and Immortal.

Meh, Sons of Northern Darkness is hardly anything special. I can understand why some people like At the Heart of Winter but it's surely not worthy of a top 100 list.

Pure Holocaust on the other hand should surely make the list.

 

[Terrifyer]

good list, but decapitated over cryptopsy none so vile?

 

[SculptedCold]

Pure Holocaust is garbage compared to most of their other albums, I don't care what elitist wankers think. Pure Holocaust is their most boring album after Battles in the North.

 

[MURAI]

I knew Reign In Blood will come up as #1.

 

[Victim of Deception]

A deserving number one choice. \m/ Reign in Blood \m/

 

[[0hr]Sunlapse]

meh.... no hypocrisy....

 

[Thanatopsis123]

Only one Enslaved album? I'm not sure what to say about that.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Well I can't compalin too much, 2-6 were all on my list. But I do have to say Neurosis deserved more then one album and Through Silver in Blood should have been much higher...

 

[[0hr]Sunlapse]

Nocturnus - The Key should have been as well, but I had "Thresholds" on my list instead of The Key so that didn't help

 

[Spirit In Black]

Pure Holocaust is garbage compared to most of their other albums, I don't care what elitist wankers think. Pure Holocaust is their most boring album after Battles in the North.

F that Battles is their best. I love all their cds and wouldn't call any of them boring by any means.

 

[Spirit In Black]

28) Dimmu Borgir-Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia
40) Dimmu Borgir-Enthrone Darkness triumphant
53) Immolation-close to a world below
