There is only one album I don't own in that list: Immortal's "Pure Holocaust". I already have AtHoW and DFM however.

Otherwise, the list just confirms that I already have a great collection.

 

[JayKeeley]

So you own everything in that list other that RiP?

 

[NAD]

GO BUY THEM SHITZ FUCKER!!!

18 Immortal "Pure Holocaust" 56
23 Exodus "Bonded by Blood" 47

28 Testament "The Legacy" 42
31 Thergothon "Stream From the Heavens" 38
33 Primordial "Spirit the Earth Aflame" 36
37 Obituary "Cause of Death" 33
40 King Diamond "Abigail" 30

Haven't heard these, pretty much all of those have been on my "need to check out" list for a long time, and that's where they'll stay until I'm good and god damn ready.

 

[JayKeeley]

Just curious, but why was "Pure Holocaust" selected as the Immortal entry?

 

[Ayeka]

No, sorry.

 

[KILL TULLY]

23 Exodus "Bonded by Blood" 47
24 Kreator "Coma of Souls" 47

^ These I do not own.

 

[Dev]

I wanna listen to Det Som Engang Var or wtf it's called because I don't have the album but I like this song very much.

Add the Skepticism too even if I'm not too keen on them for the moment.

 

[NAD]

I wanna listen to Det Som Engang Var or wtf it's called because I don't have the album but I like this song very much.

Consider it done.

 

[JayKeeley]

'Cause it's generally considered their finest work...

Is it really? I figured that would have been DFM, but I know most people here think AtHoW is one of the best. So I suppose I should look out for PH then, but since I never listen to this band, no rush.

 

[Dev]

EDIT : see ^^^^^^

(NAD your cd-r is so full of good shit that it is amazing )

 

[J.]

ANswer to the question: no, but the tourneys were a lot of fun.

I almost made a tourney following Erik's on Most Overrated Metal Album, but since Reign in Blood would win hands down, I thought it was pointless.

 

[Dev]

They're is no denying that RIB is one of the most intense Metal records ever , right?

 

[NAD]

Stop with the ninja edits!

I think 2/3 of all my posts I have to ninja edit due to forgetting a sentence or shitty grammEr.

They're no denying that RIB is one of the most intense Metal records ever , right?

No. There is no denying that. People can come and go and hate it all they want if they so choose, but you can't deny that it's intense as fuck. The thunderclap at the end is like an orgasm of the most manic monkey sex you've ever had in your life.

 

[General Zod]

I'm curious to hear Burzum. I doubt I'll like it, but I'll give it a whirl. As per a thread I posted, I checked out Finntroll based on the polls.

My shits are intense, but that doesn't mean they sound good.
