Sorted by Rating | Sort by Name5 classicAbaddon Incarnate NadirThis is the best deal I have ever gotten on anything. 24 of the most ungodly awesome songs of all time for 10 bucks. It's "blackened deathgrind." How can anyone resist that?? That's just pure raw awesome.Arghoslent Hornets of the PogromAmazingly well-orchestrated MDM. This album has them with their best vocalist and by far their greatest song: MANACLED FREIGHTAGE!!!Becoming the Archetype Terminate DamnationEpic Christian death metal. Love every inch of it, including Elegy.Death The Sound of PerseveranceSTILL my favorite Death album. The solo in A Story to Tell, and the pure awesomeness of Spirit Crusher and Flesh and the Power It Holds...every metal fan needs this.Discordance Axis The Inalienable DreamlessBrilliant, beautiful, raging grindcore. Best ever written, in my opinon. Beyond perfection, and one of my all-time favorite albums.Green Day American IdiotI know every lyric to every song. This was my first ever album, and I still love it. Call me biased, but I'm sticking by it.maudlin of the Well BathI've listened to this several times, and after trying to pick the best song, I realized that the entire thing is genius. My Chemical Romance The Black ParadeExcellent excellent pop-punk emo-whatever. I had no idea it would be this amazing, but I find it hard to hear imperfections in this.Nasum Grind Finale152 songs of pure badass grindcore. 152 songs. Seriously.Opeth Blackwater ParkPast all the hate, Opeth are really damn good. This album blew my mind with how far you can stretch the definition of "metal".Zao The Fear Is What Keeps Us HereGenius Jesuscore crammed full of hooks. Every time I feel this doesn't deserve a 5, I fall in love with it again.4.5 superbAletheian ...Hope PrevailsAmon Amarth With Oden On Our SideAnaal Nathrakh EschatonAnaal Nathrakh In the Constellation of the Black WidowThis is so much more brutal than Hell Is Empty... but still with enough of Mick's musicality. "Blood Eagles Carved On the Backs of Innocents" rapes my face. Can't really give it a 5 til I listen to the whole thing, but for now this reaches my expectations.Anberlin CitiesArghoslent Incorrigible BigotryArsis We Are The NightmareAs I Lay Dying An Ocean Between UsAs I Lay Dying has always been amazing. They just do it differently every time. An Ocean Between Us is a great one, thrashing all the way through with a slight slow-down with I Never Wanted. Otherwise the album is a metalcore gem. Love it people! Recommended: Nothing Left, An Ocean Between Us, I Never Wanted, Forsaken, This Is Who We AreAugust Burns Red MessengersBecoming the Archetype The Physics Of FireSet me on fire! This album is incredible, pounding in your ears every second with blasting guitars and eardrum shredding vocals. New addition Alex Kenis gives out some melody with his clean vocals. I recommend the entire album. Listen to it all, but be warned, Balance of Eternity drags on after a while.Between The Buried And Me ColorsBrutal and strange and all lumped together until it's really one gigantic song. Sorry downloaders, gotta take the whole thing on this one. A huge, theatrical mess of brutal thrashing and swaying guitars.Boston BostonI love this album, for very sentimental reasons, but still.Carcass HeartworkChthonic Seediq BaleCynic Traced In AirDemon Hunter Storm the Gates of HellDemon Hunter is my favorite band ever. It brings back all the brutality of their self-titled album (Storm the Gates of Hell, Sixteen) and throws in a pair of gorgeous ballads (Carry Me Down, Thorns). Follow the Wolves and Storm the Gates of Hell!!Demon Hunter The Triptychchanging a lot of my old 5's to 4.5's because...well they aren't 5's so much anymore, which means they never really were 5's. This is still one of my fave albums, and we can still be friends right?Despised Icon The Ills of Modern ManDir en grey The Marrow of a Bonebeau99 is right, the rest of u will be eaten by agitated maggots, thrown up, then run over by cancer.Dir en grey Withering To DeathDir en grey Uroboroswhoa, wtf happened to Dir en grey? they got heavy on us here. Uroboros just has this...thicker feel to it. and apparently Kyo has discovered guttural growls.Discordance Axis Jouhouafter endlessly listening to this and TID and reviewing this one....i just can't force myself to give this a 5 when TID is so much better. still great.Drudkh Blood In Our WellsEluveitie SpiritWoot. This is seriously good Celtic metal. Seriously. Every instrument in it's place and every placement perfect. Heavy guitars, harmonic flutes and violins all melded into a savory record. Great, great stuff. Europe is the land of truly classic music, keep headbanging Switzerland!Enslaved VertebraeI bought it on a whim and it's probably the best post-black metal i have ever freaking heard. Listen to New Dawn and tell me i'm wrong.Frost Like Ashes TophetFrost Like Ashes is one of the best blackened death metal bands out there. The songs are all fast and cryptic and heavy. The screams are so high-pitched I can feel my throat ripping. Recommended: Of Spirit and Power, A Cruel Verse, Nightfall's Cold KissGrand Belial's Key KosheratGreen Day 21st Century BreakdownHeaven Shall Burn Iconoclast (Part I:The Final Resistance)Wow. I looked this up because Wikipedia had it listed under "deathcore", which i love. I listened to it on iTunes and was blown away, almost literally, by Endzeit. This is heavy heavy heavy heavy. I recommend the whole thing, but especially Endzeit, Murderer of All Murderers, and Bombs of My Saviours.I Am Ghost Lovers' RequiemI don't think I will ever find another album so full of hooks. Lover's Requiem will have you singing along by the third song. Full of great lyrics and catchy beats and male/female vocals (sweet! :D). I recommend this if you like Skillet. Best Songs: Our Friend Lazarus Sleeps, Killer Likes Candy, Dark Carnival of the Immaculate, Pretty People Never Lie Vampires Never Really Die, We Are Always SearchingIn Flames Come ClarityClassic melodic death metal (great genre!). In Flames continues their streak of greatness. Crunching, snapping guitars and shrieking vocals with snippets of melody and clean vocals. Recommend: Take This Life, Leeches, Dead End, Crawl Through KnivesMastodon Crack the SkyeOpeth Watershedjust not as good as BWP when I really listen close...still, The Lotus Eater is probably my favorite 'Peth songOpeth Still LifePanic! At the Disco A Fever You Can't Sweat OutReally this album should be like a 4.8 but there's no rating for that so... This album is catchy, catchy, catchy. Full of great melodies and hooks. What makes it fall short of a 5 is a few slip-up songs like Nails for Breakfast, Tacks for Snacks. Recommended is everything but that and Intermission.Panopticon CollapsePeste Noire La Sanie des siecles - Panegyrique de laStrange yet skillful black metal containing solos...restores my faith in the French.Pink Floyd Dark Side of the MoonPink Floyd The WallSilverstein Arrivals and DeparturesSlipknot SlipknotGreat record, I still enjoy Slipknot. Eyeless, (sic), and Wait and Bleed ftw.Slipknot Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)Slipknot mellows out but still is pretty pissed off. More melodic than their previous efforts, Vol. 3 still kicks major a**. Still brutal enough to satisfy. Recommended: Duality, Three Nil, The Blister Exists, Opium of the People, Pulse of the Maggots, Before I Forget, The Nameless, Vermilion Pt. 2Slipknot IowaSmashing Pumpkins Mellon Collie and the Infinite SadnessA classic and original. Every song is completely different than the last. And every song is great! Recommended: Tonight, Tonight; Bullet With Butterfly Wings, X.Y.U.System of a Down ToxicityTaake Hordalands DoedskvadA more traditional version of Satyricon meets the stunning writing of old-school Ulver. Blew my expectations out the window.The Black Dahlia Murder NocturnalThis is great stuff. Heavy, dark, solid all the way through. I wish Trevor Strnad would screech less and growl more. Just get a better balance of vocals would make it better. Recommended: Everything Went Black, Nocturnal, Deathmask Divine, Climactic DegradationThe Faceless Planetary DualityOk, i beg to differ from EVERYBODY by saying this is way better than Akeldama. It's way technical and the vocals remain solid. Idk why i didn't give it a 5.The Faceless AkeldamaThe Used Shallow Believer EPWith Blood Comes Cleansing HorrorI absolutely love this album. The only-ONLY-thing that downgrades it from a 5 is the horrible breakdowns that are monotonous and cookie-cutter. Recommended: EVERYTHINGWolves in the Throne Room Black CascadeZao The Funeral Of GodZao Where Blood and Fire Bring Rest4 excellentAborted Strychnine.213AFI DecemberundergroundI really liked this album. Very solid, almost dance-ish. I think this pwns all over Sing the Sorrow at least. Recommended: Miss Murder, Kill Caustic, Summer Shudder, 37mmAmon Amarth Twilight of the Thunder GodAnaal Nathrakh Hell Is Empty and All the Devils Are Heri might have found a new favorite band, and i can't even pronounce it. it's kinda deathly black stuff, for me who prefers death. i have no problem with black, just prefer death, so this is a good midpoint. evil.August Burns Red ConstellationsI was pleasantly surprised by this. Jake Luhrs' vocals are a guilty pleasure. Best metalcore I've heard in a long time. INDONESIAAAAAA!!!Becoming the Archetype DichotomyBehemoth DemigodBehemoth EvangelionBlood Of The Black Owl Blood of the Black OwlCannibal Corpse Evisceration Plaguehey rugter, Corpsegrinder is the new vocalist. The old one is Chris Barnes and he now fronts Six Feet Under. Research, dumbass.Cannibal Corpse KillCarcass Necroticism:Descanting The InsalubriousCarnifex Dead In My ArmsI'm pleasantly surprised...i actually really like Carnifex. True, their nothing too brand new, but they thrash around like guys possessed and it's heavyyyyyyyy. But if you want the song Slit Wrist Savior get the EP version. It's better.Chiodos Bone Palace BalletCoheed and Cambria Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV...Cryptopsy None So VileDark Tranquillity FictionDark Tranquillity CharacterDemon Hunter Demon HunterDisfiguring the Goddess Disfiguring the Goddess (EP)a little too Suicide Silence-ish to be perfect, but holy f***ing s*** Big Chocolate is officially my f***ing hero.Eluveitie SlaniaGridLink Amber GrayHawthorne Heights If Only You Were LonelyWhy the bad reviews from everyone? I think this album is very atmospheric and catchy, I listened to it constantly after I first bought it. Recommended: Saying Sorry, Dead In the Water, Cross Me Off Your List, Where Do I Stab Myself In the EarsHeaven Shall Burn Deaf to our prayersKorn IssuesThis is the epitome of Korn. Issues, I think, was their most perfect album. The squeaky, beepy noise effects and the whining and shouting vocals, courtesy of Jonathan Davis, make this album amazing. Recommended: Wake Up, Make Me Bad, Trash.Light This City Facing The ThousandI don't care what they look like, women who scream are hott. Women who scream like Laura Nichol are even more hott. And when their band is pwnage too, you have every thrash-head in the world drooling on their iPod.Living Sacrifice Conceived In FireMastodon Blood MountainMeshuggah obZenI love Meshuggah, I can't even say the name without growling it anymore. This album is another one of their psychedelic rhythm expeditions, and a fine one at that. The instruments are great as always, but I must admit that the vocals are EXTREMELY monotonous and get old after a while.Morbid Angel Altars of MadnessMortal Treason Sunrise Over A Sea Of BloodMumakil Behold The FailureNorma Jean The Anti MotherOk, i bought the CD and listened to it over and over and it's actually pretty good. Really good. Recommended: Birth of the Anti Mother, Robots 3 Humans 0, Murphy Was An OptimistNovembers Doom Into Night's Requiem InfernalBrutal/melodic Amorphis fronted by Johan Hegg. Very nice.On The Last Day Meaning In The StaticPig Destroyer Phantom LimbSilverstein Discovering the WaterfrontSlipknot All Hope is GoneSoulfly ConquerAwesome...and the artwork kicks arse hardcore xD. screw seventy charactersStone Sour Come What(ever) MaySystem of a Down System of a DownSystem of a Down MezmerizeAmazing, pure SOAD. Great riffage and Serj is astounding. The greatest songs are on the album are B.Y.O.B., Question!, Sad Statue, Revenga, and Old School Hollywood. Go, buy, enjoy!The Decemberists The Crane WifeI never thought I would like folk music, but this s*** is good!! Done with a million different instruments, but truly well-crafted and catchy.

Maybe its the breakdown in No Pity for a Coward. YOU COWARD!System of a Down Steal This Album!The Agony Scene The Darkest RedThe Breathing Process In Waking: DivinityThousand Foot Krutch The Flame In All Of UsTool 10,000 DaysVampire Weekend Vampire WeekendI'm not usually into Indie-rock music, but every so often I find a band who really appeals to me. Vampire Weekend did so. The songs are very catchy and I like the instrumentation, it's very...experimental. I recommend Oxford Comma and A-Punk.Whitechapel This Is ExileHey, it's better than The Somatic Defilement at least. Still not perfect, but it's getting there.Zao Awake?3 goodAFI Sing the SorrowI gave this only a 3 because I heard Decemberunderground first, which makes this sound worse that it actually is. This is slightly monotonous and overly epic in comparison. Good, but Decemberunderground is better.

Disappointing! I personally thought Nightmare Anatomy was ok...but this is so washed out and bland...There are a few good songs that save this from a lower grade: One Love, Teenage Queen, Son of Lies, Moment.
