Death - Symbolic (It isn't death metal)

Yes it is. There's a thin line they croseed, but all their albums are loosely death metal, at the very least.


Kil, you have way too many first albums & in most other cases very early albums on your list. Blind Guardian's & Metallica's first albums were good for example, but they both did better later in their career after they matured. Just my opinion.
