| Coroner Death Cult (demo) |
| The production here might turn some listeners off - but the production here is EXACTLY what makes this record SO damn enjoyable to me. A crisp and raw production with crunchy guitars (that guitar tone is to die for) with Tom G Warrior's vocals on them - makes this record a Thrash classic. Turn up the volume and experience raw eargasms. |
| Corpus Rottus Rituals of Silence |
| Covenant (NOR) In Times Before the Light |
| Cryptopsy None So Vile |
| Death Metal Classic - this album is too crazy, too extreme to listen to casually.This isn't 'satanic or alien death metal' This is madness in music form. Listen to this album maybe once or twice a week - when everything goes wrong and you need a mind-numbing release |
| Darkthrone Transilvanian Hunger |
Black Metal Classic - this is the album I would suggest to anybody who asked me to define
Black Metal. This is "pure" (and I mean, ABSOLUTELY pure) Black Metal. No influences of any
other genre whatsoever. This is bare bones Black Metal - at it's highest quality. The
instrumentation is simple, no complexity there at all, nothing majestic about how the
intruments are played. Yet despite it's simplicity, the ATMOSPHERE and HYPNOTISING AMBIENCE
this record creates is second to none. So pure. So cold. So motherfucking dark. |

| Mayhem De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas |
| Black Metal Classic - I am always pleasantly surprised at how fucking good this album is - and how it stands its ground and looks any other Black Metal classic in the eye. And I am even more surprised because Mayhem is mostly known for all the controversy, off-stage antics etc. However, this album is Black Metal masterpiece. Perfect atmosphere, majestic riffs, killer production, tasteful drumming (HellHammer) and Attila's vocals are just idk... perfect. Highly recommended, on the strength of it's music alone |

| Xentrix Kin |
| Xentrix Shattered Existence |

| This album isn't objectively a 5/5 - more like a 4/5. I'm giving this a 5 coz I personally love Xentrix's brand of crunchy thrash metal. A 5 for me, personally |

| Altar of Oblivion Salvation |
| This album gives the following vibes : Heavy metal song structures, epic power metal vocals that sound amazing (because these are baritone vocals, my favourite kind) and ultimately, consistent dark doom-riffing throughout the album. All these elements blend in perfectly. What a great discovery! What stops me from giving this a 5 is that sometimes, the album gets slightly redundant. I wish this was not the case, but it is what it is. |

| Melodic Black Metal titan. The compositions are beautiful. But ---------- The production quality could have more "bass" to it (not just the intrument - the album sounds very "trebly" and a bit too "sharp" in an unrefined way for my liking) --- this would have made it a 5 from me. Also, this album simply isn't "crazy" or "genius" enough for me to give it a 5. |

There is very little preventing this album from being a 5/5 Black Metal masterpiece. Other than
this, the riffs are amazing, the atmosphere is evil in a very ominous and original way - and most
of all, the VOCALS - are marvellous. The vocals are like a menacing shrieking snake's, and
definitely unique compared to so many of the other Black Metal bands I've heard so far. Heck I may
even give this a 5/5 sometime in the future. //// Edit - Nah, this album had to had a better
production for me to give this a 5. The vocals alone deserve the rating this entire album gets.
However, the riffs are pretty amazing. Just wish the production was better. |
| Grafvitnir Keys to the Mysteries Beyond |
| Overall album production is better and more clear than on Necrosophia. Vocals are still amazing but not as menacing as on Necrosophia. Overall experience again - is amazing. Just needed a 'little' push for me to give this a 5/5 |
| Grafvitnir NâHásh |
| Grafvitnir Semen Serpentis |
| The vocals here are not as phenomenal as some of the later albums by Grafvitnir. However, this album gets its rating coz of the sheer majesty of its tritone tremolo-picked black metal riffs. Beautifully sinister. |

| Catchy consistent aggressive SHOUNEN rock-riffing, which at times can be even sexy. Should be a staple in a bad boy shounen collection. |
| King Weed A Deal At The Crossroad |
| Two tracks here. First one's laid-back jam rock BUT with an ominous and naughtily apocalyptic undertone to it. The kind of music you play when you're on a secret mission or... walking away from an explosion (of course, without turning back to look at it) The second track is aggressive, manly, sexy and will get you laid. (+.0.5 for this track alone) |
| Kryptos The Coils Of Apollyon |
| Limbonic Art Moon In The Scorpio |
| Pleased at how consistent this album is from first track to last. This album to me represents a Qlipothic spiritual journey - and this album does it well. It's a very tiring experience to sit through the whole album, and there is very little that stops it from becoming a Black Metal Classic. (the album needed more "crunch" and aggression - is almost too melodic/symphonic for my tastes)... but an essential black metal album anyway. |

| Lord Belial Unholy Crusade |
| Lord Gore The Autophagous Orgy |
| Malignancy Intrauterine Cannibalism |
| Massacra Final Holocaust |
| The death metal equivalent to Coroner - Death Cult (demo) - would be a 5 if production were more 'modern' (unlike Death Cult's production, which works in its favour). Overall is solid, incredibly hard hitting/in-yo-face and well crafted. |

| Black Metal Classic - Some say that this album "rivals" Dissection's magnum opus, Storm of the Light's Bane. Merely rivals? I say, that this album crushes, obliterates and spits Dissection's record out like it's chattel. This is one of the greatest Black Meta- nay - one of the greatest Metal albums I've ever heard. Anyway, this is quintessential black metal music. |

Nothing special. But not exactly a 'bad' album either. This goes into Brutal Death Grind slab. The
album "Deprived" is way better. |
| Dismember Like an Ever Flowing Stream |
| The two good things about this album are 1) Amazing artwork 2) Great guitarwork - and these two arent enough to redeem the weak points of this record. By which I mean, the production on this album sucks. And the vocals are annoying AF. Overall feels like an uninspired album. Rests in DM slab. |

| Hyperdontia Hideous Entity |

| The vibes this album gives off are that of a shounen anime hero (imagine :Naruto) ...but sounds rhollow, instrumentation-wise. If you're looking for that kind of music, look to other artists. The rtracks Misty Mountain, Dark Fairytale and Babylon are worth checking out. I'd give the rest of rthis album a pass. |

This album isn't anything special but it isn't "awful". This album gets unnecessary flak. There
are many, many albums that are 'actually' awful. This isn't close to them. And no, this album
isn't "death metal" nor is it anything remotely close to "From Beyond" (which was a masterpiece
btw). I am analysing this album as an individual record. You'd have to be hit on the head with a
hammer to compare this to their
debut, which was essentially an album of a different genre entirely. As for what genre this album
is, I'd call it "Death n Roll" - which is what Entombed and Dismember became after releasing their
debuts. And no, I wouldn't call this album Nu-Metal. As for cringey lyrics, maybe... I just don't
pay attention to lyrics. I care about the music more and to me vocals are nothing more than
another musical instrument - and vocals are pretty cool here. |
