[Kir-ir-Bannog]

1. Slayer - Reign In Blood
2. Metallica - MoP
3. Iron Maiden - Powerslave
4. Death - Human
5. Opeth - BWP

always a tough one...Nevermores - This Godless Endeavour is so close to being there.

 

[Heckelgruber]

I don't want to pick any band twice and I'm gonna go for older and quite mainstream things:

Metallica - Master of Puppets
Slayer - Reign in Blood
Opeth - Still Life
Tool - Lateralus
Faith No More - The Real Thing

There's too much good metal to boil it down to 5...

 

[Ermz]

Tool & Faith No More, metal?

 

[affinityband]

Tool are definatley metal. They arent a soft band. But they arent a brutal one either. They half way and i would say they are heavier than Hard-Rock.

 

[affinityband]

Akercocke- Words that go unspoken, deeds that go undone.
Emperor- Prometheus
Burst- Origo
Madder Mortem-Deadlands
Opeth-My Arms Your Hearse.

 

[Heckelgruber]

Tool & Faith No More, metal?

Definitely, although very easy to listen to.

 

[metal_wrath]

Akercocke- Words that go unspoken, deeds that go undone.
Emperor- Prometheus
Burst- Origo
Madder Mortem-Deadlands
Opeth-My Arms Your Hearse.

Is that your final answer, lol

 

[Liquid Diamonds]

Hmmm, God, this is SO hard to do off the top of my head.

Now, I'm going to honestly list the first 5 metal albums that spring to my mind as personal favourites. I will probably forget some better records while doing so. I just know I'm gonna get flamed...

Opeth - 'Blackwater Park'

Arcturus - 'La Masquarade Infernale'

Dream Theater - 'Train Of Thought' (Yes, I know everyone hates this album, and most people hate Dream Theater. It's true that James LaBrie is a cockface, but I dunno... there's just something about this album that really appeals to me. I listen to it frequently, and enjoy it very much.)

Strapping Young Lad - 'Alien' (Again, another questionnable inclusion, but I just really enjoy this record also. I listen to it all the time.)

Metallica - 'Master Of Puppets'

Honourable mentions:

Katatonia - 'The Great Cold Distance'
My Dying Bride - 'The Dreadful Hours'
Emperor - 'Prometheus: The Discipline Of Fire And Demise'
Akercocke - 'Words That Go Unspoken, Deeds That Go Undone'
Opeth - 'My Arms, Your Hearse'

There... this is FAR too hard

 

[Deadlift]

Very hard question. This is not a constant thing. My taste changes often but today my list looks something like this:

Necrophobic - The Nocturnal Silence
Opeth - hmmm...any Album except GR
Dissection - Storms of the...
Death - Human
Dawn - När solen går ner för evigt (Swedish name)

Well.....theres probably 10 more I could put up but that was 5.

 

[affinityband]

Id definatley agree with the Dissection Choice.

 

[Liquid Diamonds]

I really like that Dissection album, I really do... but not enough for a top 5 placing.
