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

Ashes Against The Grain is an amazing album

next one has 664 points but I dont know what #10 is as I only had 20-11 so this is the last one for tonight so we will need to wait until tomorrow for frobisher to tell us if there is a 666.

11. Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse (664 Points, 8 Votes.)

i am the black wizards

Stunning album.

Was hoping against hope that would be #1.

is that a Kristian Wahlin cover?

decks cleared for a shitty thrashtastic top ten, but what a run today

yeah pretty much all of the big thrash albums havent placed yet but theres still 2 or 3 black metal classics to come I reckon

and sepultura - chaos ad. how do we classify that?

cowboys from hell is the fan fave Pantera album isnt it?

given up on bergtatt, streetcleaner's gonna show tho

i hope so but the fact none of the other Godflesh has turned up but multiple albums by lesser bands have suggests no Streetcleaner. Cant really see Anthrax placing top 10 but of djp and jjj voted it could

is that a Kristian Wahlin cover?

Of course. Dark Funeral just posted a shot of him doing the art for their next album. And in breaking news, Dark Funeral still exists.

Nightside was my #3, after Mental Funeral and The Inalienable Dreamless. It's also the very first black or death metal album I recall having heard. Still completely amazing.

I don't think Pantera or Chaos AD will show but that's only because they weren't on the noms list and write-ins never seem to place highly on polls. I could be way off though.

Do many ilxors rate Pantera?

Heartwork is an album you could've called a sellout at the time but it's really just some caterpillar into steel-edged British heavy metal butterfly shit.

yeah I remember reading the fucking anus.com review that bitched about its 'populist touches' and said exactly that. I got razzed on USEnet for loving it so much (it was my first Carcass).

Symphonies is my fav but Heartwork is up there. really a fan of everything but Swansong (which tbf I haven't even hard in its entirety).

Darkthrone vs Mayhem vs Burzum for the black metal crown, like it's 1993 all over again.

Darkthrone probably win for longevity and consistency but my heart always wants to scream Mayhem.

2x slayer 2x metallica 1x celtic frost 1x atheist (pls) 1x godflesh 1x mayhem 1x burzum 1x idk yeah darkthrone prob

I will trade an Incantation for an Atheist.

^^^^^

Onward to Golgotha woulda placed if Chachi would vote

and slayer vs metallica (and possibly anthrax & megadeth) im thinking if anything of theirs is gonna place in this poll it will be the early stuff. Rust In Peace placing suggests something else might. The lo turnout has meant funny placings.

We havent even had an album with voters in double figures yet so the best known albums are bound to win?

xp
surely at the gates will place?

lj I hate to break it to you but there's THREE Metallica albums that are still to place

Load, ReLoad and Lulu

omfg how dare you bump out St Finger

The most extreme snares ever

...and justice for all might even win out of all 3 because its proggy and has its fans on ilx

i daresay lj might even like it

Personally I hope ride the lightning is the top placing metallica

Im totally convinced slayer and metallica will be the top 3 but dunno which order

everyone else has multiple albums and with Hvis lyset tar oss so low could filosofem actually miss out? That would be weird but people do hate varg

no burzum no pantera in the top 10 due to hatred of the frontman?

would be very surprised not to see Filosem

however, here's where I lament the bands that will likely not place: Gorgoroth, At the Gates, Incantation, Demigod, Sarcofago, Sadus, Vader, Carnage, Nifelheim, Destroyer 666

at the gates will place

(no) Sex, (no) Drinks and (no) Metal

Don't Entry

yay Ashes

Just realised that the cover image Cosmic Slop picked for Leviathan is from the vinyl version - it's way better than the one used for the CD!

Always is

tho they usually do fancy deluxe boxes for the cd since they signed to warners

Lets all hope Frobisher is well enough to finish today. He said he should be.

What has been everyones fave part of the rundown so far?

the part where imago listened to two albums at the same time and had his mind blown

the part where I a) learned about what other ilxors like, and b) where I listened to stuff I hadn't heard before. As always, these polls are great excuses to purposely check out stuff I had previously, purposely avoided

both previous posters otm

imago liking bathory was my fave part. Hopefully he will check out hellhammer/celtic frost/death ss

Imago please check this out. Its from the era Paul Chain was in the band

yeah 20-16 was an amazing run. maybe even 20-11 if i get round to the rest

this death ss song is well cool yeah

reminding me that van der graaf generator came THIS close to inventing extreme metal
