Top 10 Debut Albums

[Podgie]

Damn, how many metulz points did I just lose?

None! Though I have to admit I'm far too modest to accept Keenan's 'human metal encyclopedia' title.

You should check it (Soulside Journey) out anyway, it's actually pretty awesome. I reckon if they carried on playing death metal they'd be listed among the legendary Scandinavian death metal bands. And probably be the biggest Norwegian death metal band, I guess that's not saying much though. They didn't produce many old school death bands - at all actually... odd. Kind of. I guess their early 90s scene was mainly dominated by black metal.
