Metal With Mettle
Just thought I'd do my part to help Sputnik grow back its testicles. |
| 1 | | Thrash
gon have riffs, gon be fast, gon thrash |
| 2 |  | Aspid
Extravasation
Russian thrash to wet your gash. KILL and I have been whoring this one for a minute now and with good reason. Plenty of awesome riffs to bang your head to. |
| 3 |  | Blind Guardian
Battalions of Fear
Criminally overlooked, BG's debut thrashes and thrashes hard. One of their very best and one of my personal favorite thrash albums. |
| 4 |  | Mekong Delta
Kaleidoscope
Proggy thrash from Germany. Has a cover of Genesis? Dance on a Volcano that I think is better than the original. |
| 5 |  | Onslaught
The Force
Pretty melodic with some power metal-esque vocals. Owns. |
| 6 |  | Sabbat (UK)
Dreamweaver (Reflections of Our Yesterday)
One of the most consistent acts in thrash, Sabbat hail from UK, and this album may very well be their magnum opus. Should get the blood pumping to your chode. |
| 7 |  | Hypnosia
Extreme Hatred
A more modern thrash album that doesn't suck dick. Vocals have a bit of a black metal feel a la Kreator. |
| 8 |  | Toxik
Think This
One of the absolute best. Don't hear this mentioned much except among true thrashers. Lots of cool intros. Just get it; it's a classic. |
| 9 |  | Holocausto
Campo de Exterminio
Brazilian thrash with tinges of black metal. Not a clone of Sarcofago or Mystifier either. |
| 10 |  | Devastation
Idolatry
Delivers the suffering. Cool intros on here too. |
| 11 |  | Epidemic
Decameron
Fast as shit. These dudes give Sadus a run for their money. |
| 12 | | Death Metal
br00tal |
| 13 |  | Morbid
December Moon
Old-school Swedish death metal with Dead on vocals. One of the pioneers of the scene along with Nihilist (later Entombed) and Sorcery. |
| 14 |  | Molested
Blod Draum
One of my favorites from the very same guitarist that would later bring us Borknagar. Very unique. Can't think of any other albums of the period that would have a Nokturnal Mortum-esque folk part erupt into brutal death metal. |
| 15 |  | Vomiturition
A Leftover
A badass gem out of Finland. Pretty melodic but not quite melodeath. |
| 16 |  | Funebre
Children of the Scorn
Another great cut from Finland, this one more on the old-school side. |
| 17 |  | Messiah
Choir of Horrors
Good shit from Switzerland. This and Rotten Perish are both pretty rad. |
| 18 |  | Rottrevore
Iniquitous
Good mixtures of tempos with some great playing. |
| 19 |  | Iniquity
Serenadium
Kinda heavy. Some nice solos. |
| 20 |  | Morta Skuld
Dying Remains
Milwaukee's finest. Really like the vocals. |
| 21 |  | Monstrosity
Imperial Doom
The best album Corpsegrinder has ever been a part of. |
| 22 |  | Hypocrite
Into the Halls of the Blind
Melodeath but not the gay kind. |
| 23 | | Black Metal
kvlt |
| 24 |  | Mortifera
Vastiia Tenebrd Mortifera
Something Neige did that isn't fruity. |
| 25 |  | Peste Noire
Folkfuck Folie
This album isn't trying to be La Sanie, so don't approach it that way. It's just another excellent release in Peste Noire's consistent-as-hell discography. Give it the proper chance it deserves. |
| 26 |  | Prevalent Resistance
Eternal Return
Fucking slays. Why aren't these dudes popular? |
| 27 |  | Odelegger
The End of Tides
Raw just like your mom's snizz from last night. |
| 28 |  | Nekrasov
The Form of Thought from Beast
Ambient black metal from Australia. |
| 29 |  | Wrath of the Weak
Wrath of the Weak
USBM that brings the grim and frostbitten atmospheres. |
| 30 |  | Nuit Noire
Black Form
Fairly melodic punk-influenced black metal. |
| 31 |  | Belenos
Spicilege
Folky pagan black metal that is absolutely awesome. If you don't have this, I don't know where you've been, but get it now. |
| 32 |  | Leech [US]
Ten Black Hymns
Cascadian band that is constantly evolving. This, their debut, has elements of hardcore, crust, and folk. Stop fapping to Kvelertak and get this instead. |
| 33 |  | Akitsa
Sang Nordique
Rarely do I expect Canada to do something right, but this band is most excellent. |
| 34 | | Doom
low and slow |
| 35 |  | The Austrasian Goat
The Austrasian Goat
Bleak blackened funeral doom. |
| 36 |  | Grief
Dismal
Dismal indeed. |
| 37 |  | Stabat Mater
Stabat Mater
One of the best. Crushing and hopeless. |
| 38 |  | Mournful Congregation
The Monad of Creation
Another powerful and beautiful doom classic. |
| 39 |  | Skepticism
Farmakon
The first and probably the best release from these Finnish doom titans. |
| 40 |  | Consummatum Est
Funeral Procession
Another debut and another stunningly beautiful album. Awesome vocals. |
| 41 |  | Esoteric
Metamorphogenesis
Eerie and punishing doom from the UK. |
| 42 |  | Solitude Aeturnus
Into the Depths of Sorrow
A true doom classic. The debut from a very influential and consistent band that has that old-school feel with some excellent vocals. |
| 43 |  | Candlemass
Nightfall
EDM may get all the attention, but this is truly Candlemass' magnum opus. Absolutely beautiful. |
| 44 |  | Inborn Suffering
Wordless Hope
A very accessible but highly enjoyable album from some Frenchies. |
| 45 | | Post-Metal
lol jk |
