1. Torche - Meanderthal

Well...Opeth and Genghis Tron shouldn't be that high:Smug:. I have only heard about 15 of the albums so I'll say more later. I love the new Toxic Holocaust however. I think it was ranked appropriate.

 

[divine_torture]

No Behexen? Fail.

 

[SweptbackFlame]

Amon Amarth & Enslaved should be ranked higher

 

[SweptbackFlame]

and where the fuck is Iced Earth in that list? The Crucible Of Man was a decent album.

 

[Zephyrus]

No Behexen? Fail.

As if Decibel was ever big on Black Metal.

 

[XSASweet]

As if Decibel was ever big on Black Metal.

Nachtmystium is number 2, though.

I've seen worse lists, but I haven't heard anything from the top 10 besides nachtmystium lol

 

[mutantllama]

I really liked The Formations of Damnation.

 

[whiskey funeral]

List sucks, except for this:

12. Krallice - Krallice

And if you guys haven't heard Krallice...well, you probably should. I fucking hate it when magazines compile lists like these.

 

[Caecius]

Amon Amarth & Enslaved should be ranked higher

No Amon Amarths is almost too high. I enjoyed it but I don't think it is top 15 material. I haven't heard the Enslaved.

and where the fuck is Iced Earth in that list? The Crucible Of Man was a decent album.

Decent shouldn't make a top 40 list

List sucks, except for this:

And if you guys haven't heard Krallice...well, you probably should. I fucking hate it when magazines compile lists like these.

I haven't but I will. And I like lists of all forms, even if they are shitty.

 

[Einherjar86]

Hollenthon deserves a spot.

 

[SweptbackFlame]

Decent shouldn't make a top 40 list

Then Cynic shouldn't be there at all.

 

[Matt]

Hollenthon deserves a spot.

Really don't understand why people like this band. Sounds like disjointed symphonic shitfail to me.

 

[Einherjar86]

Strange. Sounds like epic symphonic glory to me, with great riffage too.

 

[SweptbackFlame]

Really don't understand why people like this band. Sounds like disjointed symphonic shitfail to me.

Hollenthon is good man

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Gay list, should at least include Human Mincer, Seamount, Nocte Obducta, etc.

 

[waif]

Wow...I've actually only heard 2 of those albums.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Needs more Darkspace.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

WTF is with everyone jacking off on Trap Them. Just listen to old Swedeath and forget these fucking trendy faggots throwing in random hipster shit to the OSDM sound.

 

[Belligerent]

Amon Amarth & Enslaved should be ranked higher

Indeed.

Then Cynic shouldn't be there at all.

I'd have to agree again. That album was a HUGE disappointment.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Maybe I'm an idiot...but Hour of 13's self-titled album came out in 2007.
