Top 10 Modern Classics

[EspaDa]

Black Label Society - The Blessed Hellride

The Blessed Hellride isn't a bad album at all, I'd even say it's Society's best.

 

[The Ozzman]

The Blessed Hellride isn't a bad album at all, I'd even say it's Society's best.

That or 1919 Eternal but TBH is much stronger in terms of songwriting. Zakk Wylde's solo stuff/Pride & Glory is way better anyway.

 

[EspaDa]

I have to revisit 1919. I must admit I really like the lyrics on TBH let alone Stillborn.


You can never get too low when you're so damn high,
On the blessed hellride

 

[Vilden]

I consider all of those different kinds of classic:

Reverend Bizarre - In the Rectory of the Bizarre Reverend
While Heaven Wept - Of Empires Forlorn
Deathevokation - The Chalice of Ages
Summoning - Old Mornings Dawn
Agalloch - The Mantle
Sigrblot - Blodsband (Blood Religion Manifest)
Nokturnal Mortum - Weltanschauung
Mourning Beloveth - The Sullen Sulcus
Funeral Mist - Salvation
Dödfödd - Besvärjelse För Omvänd Rekreation

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I prefer to look at the House of Atreus albums as one long album, but II is really good as well.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

I consider all of those different kinds of classic:

Reverend Bizarre - In the Rectory of the Bizarre Reverend
While Heaven Wept - Of Empires Forlorn

Sigrblot - Blodsband (Blood Religion Manifest)

[dwellerINTHEdark]

Interesting choice for your Summoning pick.

Not really. I'd go with Oath Bound. However, all Summoning albums are contenders.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I think I've said enough about Summoning these days but Old Morning's Dawn is my favorite since it came out.

 

[JontRevolting]

Mine's definitely Stronghold and i still wonder why it wasn't included in the SOME box set,it's annoying and bizarre.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

I don't care what the majority says, Caladan Brood def put out a modern classic.

 

[Onder]

Mine's definitely Stronghold and i still wonder why it wasn't included in the SOME box set,it's annoying and bizarre.

Stronghold is my favorite too, but I even like Lugburz and stuff.

 

[JontRevolting]

Same,even today Stronghold inspires awe for me. I can't of another release that is so complete, not just the music but that damn cover art and inlay.

 

[EspaDa]

(the) Melvins - Freak Puke

Seriously? I found that record rather uninspired. It sounded like garbage for me. Maybe it needs revisiting, I think so if someone lists it as a modern classic.

Enslaved - Isa

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Skeletonwitch - Beyond The Permafrost

Damn, i forgot a bout that one.

Enslaved - Isa

A lot of interesting stuff going on to my ears, This isn't the first time I've loved a Melvins record others have despised though. Hostile Ambient Takeover is also a favorite of mine that gets no love.
