XXXP yeah its great! there's some serious riffage later on, too.
Well, this is supposed to be the BEST, not most important or influential or whatever.

xxxpost argh
I think most Obituary fans rank Cause of Death way higher. Personally I prefer SWR for its less refined approach. I remember a time when that title track was the heaviest, scariest thing I'd ever heard. (Of course I was like 14.)

also xxxpost there were some recent Vlad Tepes reissues with "better" sound quality than the originals. I keep forgetting that I bought two of them and have yet to actually play them.

oh I'm lying, there was another KD way down. but this is IMO their crowning glory
― odysseus (imago), Tuesday, 16 February 2016 20:30 (ten years ago)
CotE for me. That might still place since I placed it so highly!
― space prophet wogan (ultros ultros-ghali), Tuesday, 16 February 2016 20:31 (ten years ago)
considering i still gave it >50 points, given that it made my ballot at all, yeah

― odysseus (imago), Tuesday, 16 February 2016 20:39 (ten years ago)

I've always loved that album cover and I want to know where it comes from.

voted for a Dodheimsgard album I think, but not that one. The Vlad Tepes/Belketre is indeed classic!

Not Shining. That was lucky to be my #47

The Dodheimsgard is like the second coming of peak-era VDGG, but as metal. It's become one of my favourite records by anyone ever. I prefer them to Ulver at this point
― odysseus (imago), Tuesday, 16 February 2016 21:27 (ten years ago)
I think it sound weird for the sake of weird. but I like it.

reverend bizarre way too low. Punished for not having "extreme" enough vox?
― Cosmic Slop, Tuesday, 16 February 2016 21:35 (ten years ago)
last two albums are all time
i think i'm just going to say the same thing periodically throughout this list
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Tuesday, 16 February 2016 21:42 (ten years ago)
have you heard the reverend bizarre? they might be mid-paced enough for you to like
― Cosmic Slop, Tuesday, 16 February 2016 21:43 (ten years ago)
i was just about to say i wanted to check that record out just based on the cover
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Tuesday, 16 February 2016 21:44 (ten years ago)
which i've seen several times over the years but i've never gotten around to it
xxxxp come on you're talking about a board where a band like Ghost wins polls

one of the all-time doom albums

you have a point (but I bet we'll see some far-from-extreme stuff too)
― moans and feedback (Dinsdale), Tuesday, 16 February 2016 21:47 (ten years ago)
due to using certain official sources to guide what 'extreme' meant, we had to allow basically all doom metal that wasn't doom-ish NWOBHM.
― Frobisher, Tuesday, 16 February 2016 21:48 (ten years ago)
so yeah, likely a lot of things will place that aren't that "extreme." it was a difficult process.
