Top 10 all-time favourite Metal albums 2.0

[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.

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

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

3. Rush-Moving Pictures

You're calling this a metal album?

 

[Talos of Atmora]

@Iron Wizard The only album that even remotely approaches the sound of "metal" is Clockwork Angels. Not a whole lot beside that.

 

[Satanstoenail]

You're calling this a metal album?

You're suprised? He was calling The Who metal a few months ago.

1. You misspelled "Rust in Peace" and
2. "Moving Pictures," while phenomenal, doesn't even have a single metal track on it.

Otherwise, very strong list.

Have you heard 2112? One of the heaviest albums of all time. I consider Rush to be a progressive metal band, in fact the first of their kind. You have to distinguish what they were doing from stuff like Yes and Styx.
