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

Hopefully frobisher will be back tomorrow to finish the top 20.

Here's hoping for a 1-2-3 of Celtic Frost-Bathory-Death SS

Been listening to Dopethrone just now btw, it's awwwesome, my word!

Dopesmoker is the boring version, right? ;)

p.s. I'm not stoned

xxxxp thought that said wall to wall boredoms and I was like, hey, yeah, they belong here way more than your deafheavens and shit

I think at this time we also go for predictions and things you really want to make it but probably wont now.

im assuming
Death SS - The Story of Death SS 1977–1984
Corrupted - Corrupted - Se hace por los suenos asesinos
Worship - Last Tape/vinyl/cd Before Doomsday
Skepticism - Alloy
Godflesh - Selfless
Godflesh - Pure
Boris - Absolutego
Khanate - Khanate
Grief - Come To Grief
Mournful Congregation - The Monad of Creation
Sunn O))) - 3: Flight of the Behemoth
Warhorse - As Heaven Turns to Ash
Ludicra - The Tenant
Nachtmystium - Instinct:Decay

wont make it :(

I'd hoped to see Dark Funeral - The Secrets of the Black Arts place but I don't think that's happening.

For me Dopethrone is one of the greatest albums ever made, period. That perfect cross section of psych and doom. Theiy nail everything in it. Their other albums are great too.

Glad to see Through Silver in Blood made top 25.

Dopethrone is so so good, fuck. I had never heard it all the way through before!

props for including Ludicra CS. I voted for them. And I didn't hear it until recently, shamefully, so I didn't vote for it, but Obscura needs to place. Seriously.

im hoping maybe a couple from my list there might get in but im assuming the vote threshold will be double figure votes and i cant see any of those getting 10 votes as some big big albums have already placed

btw i think i voted for a couple of recentish albums after all- the last triptykon (tho low down). maybe that could place?

lets hope frobishers internet and other stuff is sorted out by tomorrow

maybe ludicra will place then. Id be shocked if the gorguts didn't. thats a well loved album round here ultros

Rust In Peace is probably my all time favourite metal album but I'm ok with it not winning an extreme metal poll.

Run since Invisible Thought Patterns is great. Even the stuff I don't particularly care for (Neurosis) seems credible & well-placed. Particularly happy to see Dimension Hatross. The kvetching about Seasons is bizarre though. It's not breaking tons of new ground relative to the prev two, but why should it have to? Great songs, tons of energy, crushing production.

I get why Dopethrone will always be the world's favorite E-Wiz album. I just prefer the spacier, less aggressive sound of Fanatics.

I'm with contenderizer on this one. Always preferred Fanatics (though it probably helps that the 2CD of that and the s/t was my entry point for the band).

Death SS - The Story of Death SS 1977–1984

I mean, how could it not?

"Seasons is pretty much the sound of Slayer realizing they could just recycle Reign In Blood and South of Heaven forever, without much thought or effort."

i think it's their last great album and i love it and most bands will never make anything as good but yeah it's not as good as what came before.

getting genuinely scared now

in particular regarding a certain Irish band who destroyed everything in 2007

So I was the #1 vote for Funeral Moon, and I'll stand by that vote. It sounds like they just found this tape buried in a graveyard, at midnight, in winter, and this is what was on it.

U2 wont win

xp

A couple things I voted for that I no longer think will place: Nuclear Assault, Bongzilla, Carpathian Forest.

Cant rule anything out with such a low threshold but I think you may be right.

Also with the exception of Metallica, Pantera and Slayer I would imagine that it will be 1 album per band placing now

I would've been stunned if Carpathian Forest made this list and I LOVE Carpathian Forest.

Ghost for the win.

Genuinely drawing a blank here

The Corrs?

Altar of Plagues?

Primordial?

Cosmic Slop for the win

Of course! To The Nameless Dead is magnificent.

Some thing that don't look like they'll get a look in...

Cathedral - Forest of Equilibrium
Kehlvin & Rorcal - Ascension
Horseback - The Invisible Mountain

"Ghost for the win."

so sad but probably true.

I will TEAR THIS THREAD DOWN if Ghost wins.

probably worth shutting down the whole board forever if that happens

They weren't nominated/accepted, surely?

Heh, no they weren't, I've just checked.

I can think of maybe 15 dead certs for the top 20 but the rest, who knows.

That's what write-in votes are for.

yeah i think write-ins were allowed

people always forget to nominate or say they missed the top of new answers for a fortnight

I just hope you all voted for a Celtic Frost-Bathory 1-2

Nah it's gonna be all Lividity albums

@ Tom Violence, UAFM was also high on my ballot, and imo the best guitar tone on any Darkthrone album. Not to mention, it fucking rocks.

and still thinking RIB will take #1. And I could at least get behind that in principle. Would love to see To Mega Therion or Under the Sign of the Black Mark take this, but doubt it will.

from my ballot, was hoping to see, but haven't: any Gorgoroth, Carnage, Nihilist

one of those 2 should but its slayer or metallica im sure

safe to say ILM prefers death metal the least of all the extreme sub-genres?

this is why I should have voted. the DM would be flowing through the poll's veins

tho tbf these are largely good choices

Only three of my votes yet to place, I reckon: Bergtatt, Obscura, Streetcleaner
