I'm sorry, I have to edit mine, I completely forgot about Windir's Arntor! To keep things simple if you've already tallied scores for my list, i'll just replace Soilwork's APP with Windir's Arntor. Please account for that! Thanks!

1. Iron Maiden - Powerslave
2. Fear Factory - Obsolete
3. Theatre of Tragedy - Velvet Darkness They Fear
4. Blood Red Throne - Monument Of Death
5. Dimmu Borgir - Enthrone Darkness Triumphant
6. Soilwork - A Predator's Portrait X
6. Windir - Arntor
7. Summoning - Stronghold
8. Rotting Christ - Triarchy of the Lost Lovers
9. Immortal - Damned In Black
10. Absu - Tara
11. Circle of Dead Children - Human Harvest
12. The Crown - Crowned In Terror
13. Opeth - Still Life

16. Testament - The Gathering
17. Neuraxis - Truth Beyond
18. Cannibal Corpse - Bloodthirst
19. Immortal - Blizzard Beasts
20. Krisiun - Conquerors of Armageddon



That was insanely difficult. The order is at best, fairly random within each group of ten or so. I also excluded Mudvayne so no-one would gripe. Fuckers.

Can't make a list took me 30 mins and it's bullshit

Listening to your number one know and i cannot disagree.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Damn, this was a huge necro. Last post was only a few weeks ago from 10 years old.

 

[Avigrus]

I take it i'm too late to add my list?

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I didn't realize this forum was so gay for The Chasm even a decade ago.

 

[Baroque]

I take it i'm too late to add my list?

My thoughts too. Why not start this back up again? I wonder if they even had a single voting round after everyone submitted hundreds of albums. Oh well though.

19) Burzum- Det Som Engang Var
20) Dimmu Borgir- Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia

Wow. I totally blocked it from my consciousness that I ever liked Dummu Borgir that much

Opeth doesn't float my boat as much as they used to (still like them, but it doesn't seem as great as it once did), but most of those black metal albums would still be in my top 20-25 black metal albums and I still think Neurosis, Agalloch, and MDB are the best at their respective genres.

Just winging it my top 20 metal albums today would be (unranked):

Black Sabbath- Paranoid
Black Sabbath- Mob Rules
Judas Priest- Sad Wings of Destiny
Judas Priest- Painkiller
Iron Maiden- Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
Dio- Holy Diver
Slayer- Reign in Blood
Agalloch- The Mantle
Neurosis- Through Silver in Blood
My Dying Bride- Angel and the Dark River
Burzum- Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
Burzum- Filosofem
Emperor- Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk
Darkthrone- Transilvanian Hunger
Darkthrone- A Blaze in the Northern Sky
Deathspell Omega- Fas...
Deathspell Omega- Paracletus
Velvet Cacoon- Genevieve
Mutiilation- Remains of a Ruined, Cursed and Dead Soul
Immortal- Pure Holocaust

The biggest difference is I've gained much more of an appreciation for more traditional heavy metal. Still don't find even my favorite death metal albums to reach me in the way the best black metal albums do...
