Your top six albums

[metal_wrath]

I agree that The Mantle is the best album to be released from America, but I extend it to "ever." The rest of his list is shit though, despite SIT and Burzum's s/t being good.

Agalloch is waaaaaaaaaay overrated, that album isn't that metal, there are far better metal albums to be released from America (ie. Morbid Angel, Death just o start with), that album is kinda boring, a desolation song is kinda lame, there are only 5 proper 'songs' on that album, Agalloch is kind of a joke band, this metal has no balls, you suck

 

[Demilich]

Never mind that The Mantle is barely even a metal album, have you people who think it is America's best ever listened to anything from the 80s or earlier? So many great, great albums!

Any band that still thinks its cool to have a logo with un-decipherable letters should be shot.

[Astrum]

My list is going to include NO Iron Maiden-take note of that. If I did they would dominate my list.

1. Immortal-Dammned in Black
2. Bathory-Blood Fire Death
3. Emperor-Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk
4. Bloodthorn-Under the Shadow of your Black Wings
5. Bolt Thrower-Mercenary
6. Immortal-Sons of Northern Darkness
7. Death-Symbolic
8. Death-Human
9. Behemoth-Demigod
10. Behemoth-Satanica

Ten, for fun. This list could change around a lot, I guess.

I find Morbid Angel and Death waaaaaaaay overrated, so it is a matter of opinion to the extreme. Atmosphere will always beat out riffs and technicality.

 

[Solipsist]

I find Morbid Angel and Death waaaaaaaay overrated, so it is a matter of opinion to the extreme. Atmosphere will always beat out riffs and technicality.

...unless both elements are synthesized masterfully (as shown in albums like Unquestionable Presence and Close to a World Below)

 

[Mort Divine]

Yes, that is always a case that transcends the rule.

Evoken's Antithesis of Light and diSEMBOWELMENT's Transcendence Into The Peripheral are perfect examples of it as well.

 

[skeptik]

I believe the most obvious would be Hvis Lyset Tar Oss.
