Finally... The Top 200 Extreme Metal Albums of ALL TIME!(results)

the first Pantera entry?

xp

ahh

dominique - yeah mayhem is a good call.

I have a sinking feeling Heartwork will be the top death metal album.

i would be happy with that

ive given up on alloy by skepticism making it. im guessing no more doom?

P sure the top death metal album will be the one which unceremoniously burst into my top 10 despite me not liking DM so much

Huh but I also expected Still Life to be Opeth's highest ranker.

I think that will go to Blackwater Park

no more doom, everything else is opeth, mastadon, and pantera.

left hand path or heartwork were the only 2 DM albums i loved back in the day so if they were top 10 id be happy

oh shit. Slipknot were nominated werent they?

if it only needs 4 votes to get in the top 100 anythings possible

xp hah no, that would've been vetoed.

Siegbran, were people talking about Celtic Frost then? That was the first thing I thought of when I heard it.

Yeah of course, and technically Winter is basically slowed down Celtic Frost riffs, with a roughly similar guitar sound (that's what its detractors said at the time), but that wasn't really the point, in the same way that Burzum isn't just about slowed down Bathory riffs, it completely changed relatively peppy and headbangable Frost into that suffocating atmosphere of total dread and hopelessness.

theres 3 possible pantera albums. a #1 us album and 2 big albums vulgar and cowboys. a lot here grew up with those albums (not me)

Sepultura are bound to do well too i reckon. are those 80s albums thrash or death?

Siegbran what age are you?

43 like everyone else or old like scott and phil?

no offence mean to scott and phil there btw

Listening to Winter. So far so good. I like hearing where it all came from after all! (Unless it came from thrash)

Bathory!!!

imago as long as you like bathory ,celtic frost/hellhammer its ok

It all came from Bathory as well, right? Did it come more from Winter or from Bathory?

One day I hope to understand why I can't get into Bathory, esp because most of my fav bands are direct descendants of them. I don't have this problem with other originators like Incantation or Autopsy.

Winter came out early 90s didnt it? i guess that is old skool now. How time flies. Streetcleaner was 1989 hah

xpost Or Celtic Frost.

Bathory are like frost in that they kinda invented more than 1 genre and had a hand in creating thrash/black/death/avant garde then frost did doomy stuff while bathory did viking/folk metal. usually if you dont like black metal bathory you like the later stuff and vice versa

Not like celtic frost is like not liking sabbath to me

I def would prefer the first 3 Bathory but even then when I want that style I end up listening to something like Summon, arguably terrible.

Also I do love Celtic Frost. I meant they were one of the pioneers that I do like, contra Bathory.

43 like everyone else or old like scott and phil?

Hahaha yeah exactly like everybody else. Too young to have bought an original Hellhammer demo, too old to have ever felt excitement over Pantera.

I got into Bathory immediately after getting into 2nd wave black metal, so at least as far as the fast, thrashy stuff, it was really easy to dive in. Even the lo-fidelity wasn't a detractor, because I was already used to 2nd wave stuff. It's his Viking metal stuff (and a lot of stuff where Quorthon tries to "sing") that's harder for me

its only 10pm here frobisher at least take it down to 70 tonight. theres lots of chat.
we all want more results tonight dont we? youve finished after midnight every other night!

xp CORRUPTED!!!!

haha siegbran is in the 43 club too. That is pretty much the average age of ilxors who have been here 10-15 years.

ilx0rs = old fuX0rs

I'm not as into doom metal as CS but I really like this Corrupted album.

Such a nice guitar sound.

It's his Viking metal stuff (and a lot of stuff where Quorthon tries to "sing") that's harder for me

It also doesn't help that this viking stuff has so vastly been improved upon by so many bands. Going back from Moonsorrow, Nokturnal Mortum and Falkenbach is really a leap back in grandiosity, which matters a lot when that's 99% of what that style is all about.

Ok I suppose I can take it to 70.

Corrupted - Se Hace Por Los Suenos Asesinos must have a great chance of placing too. That would be amazing and make up for lack of Skepticism

Ok I suppose I can take it to 70.

you rule!

Sund4r, you in the 28/9 club with ultros, Brad and me? :D

This Winter album is really cool

I'd never even heard of Corrupted but after seeing them twice am now listening to this one. Their chord choices and harmonies are kind of offsetting the usual drudgery of this style of music. I might end up liking them.

Corrupted encompass all styles sometimes in the same album. on eps and 7"a they have a different sound again. Like Boris they just do everything.

I split the difference at 36.

Enjoying Corrupted so far. They sound a bit like a good Mogwai. Of course, Mogwai are already good! Sometimes.
