Top 5 Metal albums of all time

[Mr. Bungle]

I'm just more of a Dio fan, I know that will bring flames my way haha.

 

[Caecius]

first 4 sabbath > the rest tbh. damn hard picking a favourite out of those though.

Agreed.

 

[The Butt]

not sabotage

YOU GUYS ARE WRONG

 

[zabu of nΩd]

except you're forgetting Vol.4

Surely you mean Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.

Haha, Heaven and Hell for me

 

[The Butt]

I agree. HnH was shit aside from Neon Knights and Die Young.

Dehumanizer is the best Dio-era Sabbath.

 

[Ross]

vg is instantly and permanently my favourite person.

 

[Belligerent]

Vol 4 has Wheels of Confusion, Tomorrows Dream, Supernaut, and Snowblind...enough said. But i am partly biased because those are some of my alltime fav Sabbath tunes.

 

[The Butt]

All of the first 8 are great, tbh.

But Sabotage is their peak.

 

[MURAI]

Sepultura - Schizophrenia
Obituary - Slowly We Rot
Pantera - Reinventing the Steel
Entombed - Morning Star
Slayer - Reign In Blood

This thread officially needs locked.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Sacramentum - Far Away From the Sun
Demilich - Nespithe
Amorphis - The Karelian Isthmus
Eucharist - A Velvet Creation
Mercyful Fate - Don't Break the Oath

There are dozens of albums that could be easy contenders, though.

 

[MURAI]

No, "Morning Star" is a great album.

Eucharist - A Velvet Creation

I only heard one song off that album but I love it.

 

[mutantllama]

*points to sig*

Others not in it are A Blaze in the Northern Sky, bunch of Sabbath albums, Epicus Doomicus Metalicus, Burnt Offerings, Ride the Lightning, Battalions of Fear, and others.

 

[Nightmare_Heaven]

Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
diSEMBOWELMENT - Transcendence into the Peripheral
Katatonia - Brave Murder Day
Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane

[byrne]

No country had most of my list but ill post it anyway,

Judas Priest - Sad Wings Of Destiny
Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
Sacramentum - Far Away From the Sun
At The Gates - The Red in the Sky is Ours
The Chasm - Deathcult for Eternity: The Triumph

It was difficult leaving albums like, A Blaze in the Northen Sky, Epicus Doomicus Metalicus, Beyond the Crimson Horizon, Altars of Madness, Under the Sign of the Black Mark, The Karelian Ithmus and Hell Awaits out.

Nice

1. At the Gates - The Red in the Sky is Ours
