Top 10 all-time favourite Metal albums 2.0

[Phylactery]

Nah, it's not even close for me. I find Melissa to be more consistently great.

 

[alex76]

Why are you considering this a metal album?

Changed to Bloody Sabbath.

 

[alex76]

Iron Maiden, Metallica, Slayer, Possessed and Pestilence all have better albums than the ones you picked.

At least you picked the correct Mercyful Fate album.

Well, next time I'll check with you first as to what I like. Would it make you feel any better if I said Sacramentum and The Chasm suck?

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Changed to Bloody Sabbath.

Nah stick with Rush, that album is metal enough.

 

[alex76]

I have come to really appreciate the album, but...

 

[Burkhard]

[TechnicalBarbarity]

I've heard more than a few people refer to Caress of Steel as a heavy/metal album. I've never heard it so yeah i have no clue.

 

[CiG]

Brilliant record, not metal though. Maybe in spirit...

 

[Mort Divine]

Not any set order to this, just the 10 albums that immediately come to mind as my favorites

Sacramentum - Far Away From the Sun
The Chasm - Deathcult
Agalloch - The Mantle
Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
Saint Vitus - Born Too Late
At the Gates - The Red in the Sky Is Ours
Revelation - Release
Fates Warning - Awaken the Guardian
Primordial - Spirit the Earth Aflame
Demigod - Slumber of Sullen Eyes

 

[Phylactery]

Nice list! Sacramentum, The Chasm and At the Gates make my top 10 too.

 

[no country for old wainds]

maybe it's 'cause you admitted to being a trump supporter.

 

[Phylactery]

I'm not indicting or accusing, but I feel I've approached you a few times of late and you just plain ignore me, even directly asking you a question. Maybe I'm just an old man out of his head, but did I do or say something?

Sorry, I've just been super busy lately. I've been meaning to post in the Hall of Fame but I missed the past one or two so now I'm behind. I used to repost my list from the previous ones and remove whichever bands got in, but now I'm behind it's effort to do that.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

yeah right, phylactery is probably wearing his Make America Great Again hat as we speak.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

I've heard more than a few people refer to Caress of Steel as a heavy/metal album. I've never heard it so yeah i have no clue.

There are metal passages, but it's not a metal album.

 

[Baroque]

I mean, I'd welcome Rush to metal with open arms if they made one clearly metal album, but they did not. Still a great band metal or no.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... sorry, but i'll be the one who decides whether they're metal or not. I don't think you are qualified.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Top 2:
Burzum- Hvis lyset tar oss
Agalloch- The Mantle

These are more than albums to me and resonate with the deepest part of who I am and how I relate to the world.

3. Judas Priest- Sad Wings of Destiny
4. Emperor- Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk
5. Deathspell Omega- Paracletus

Then it gets tougher. Off the top of my head, these are the canidates. I'll actually have to listen to them all to differentiate and rank.


Slayer- Reign in Blood
Velvet Cacoon- Geneieve
Darkthrone- Transylvanian Hunger
Slayer- Reign in Blood
Iron Maiden-Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
Black Sabbath- Mob Rules
Black Sabbath- Sabotage
Dio- Holy Diver
Velvet Cacoon- Genevieve
Neurosis- Through Silver in Blood
Mutiilation- Remains of a Ruined, Cursed, and Dead Soul
Incantation- Mortal Throne of the Nazarene
Opeth- Still Life
At the Gates- The Red in the Sky is Ours
Manilla Road- Crystal Logic
Demilich- Nesphite
At the Gates- The Red in the Sky is Ours
Jag Panzer- Ample Destruction

 

[HamburgerBoy]

You listed Velvet Cacoon twice. Being a wimp must resonate with you deeply.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... lol.
