This is gonna be the best page yet.

Got a question for y'all: If you could only listen to one metal album that was released after 1999 for the rest of your life, what would you choose?

E: To clarify, it wouldn't be the only metal album you could listen to, just the only one released between 2000 and now.

So many great options. I'm a coward and can't narrow it down to just one. But I can say with certainty that it would be one of these ten, just not sure which:



→ Ad Nauseam - Nihil quam

→ Altar of Plages - Teethed Glory & Injury

→ Dead Congregation - Graves of the Archangels

→ Deathspell Omega - Paracletus

→ Gorguts - Colored Sands

→ Grand Belial's Key - Judeobeast Assassin

→ Hell - Hell

→ Immolation - Close to a World Below

→ Kayo Dot - Dowsing Anemone With Copper Tongue

→ Mgla - Exercises in Futility

Some evergreens mixed with some more exotic picks. We'll consider that answer an ad for your top 10 post-1999 metal albs, which is blocked as per Demon.

(This was a great reminder to finally check Grand Belial's Key. Thank you.)

In Their Darkened Shrines by Nile

Album Rating: 4.5

choosing one album from all of metal post-99 sounds like absolute insanity, but this is a vague first-thoughts attempt at a top 10, so my choice would be #1, I guess...



Cult of Luna - Salvation

ISIS - Panopticon

Neurosis - A Sun That Never Sets

Persefone - Core

Fall of Efrafa - Inle

Gorguts - Colored Sands

Imperial Triumphant - Alphaville

The Angelic Process - Weighing Souls With Sand

Agalloch - Ashes Against the Grain

Scarcity - Aveilut



one per artist because otherwise there's gonna be a lot more Cult of Luna and Oceanic would 'overlap' too

eliminating any semblance of post-metal entirely would make mine a lot harder / more interesting, lol

seems I also forgot...

maudlin of the Well - Bath

Dir En Grey - Arche

would maybe put them ahead of a couple here, it's close

Heh, another ad. Looks like we need to fine-tune the whitelist.

Love how you didn't hesitate to commit, Jurtz.

Midian by Cradle of Filth yeah BOI.

Album Rating: 5.0

For me it’s a tough call between this and Everything is Fire. Probably EiF by a hair.

That is an extremely tough one (even allowing for 10) considering most of my favs are from 2000 onwards

Would be cool to see that top 10.

Also happy to see the based-as-fuck neurosis - astns name drop by demon

It's a tough nut to crack, yeah. Props to the four who came up with a definitive answer, Midian of course being the least sane pick here.

Probably wouldn't choose anything by a band whose discog extends into the 90s. Also, with the intentional core loophole, there's probably enough post left to not auto-name Panopticon.

Lots of all-timers to be found in the 80s and 90s, so I'd likely choose either something decidedly modern (e.g. disso or modern bdm), something avant-garde like this or Murmuüre, or something singular like Elvenefris.

For now, I'd go with Ad Nauseam - Imperative Imperceptible Impulse.

Album Rating: 4.5

you’ve put a lot of thought into this beyond a slapdash top albums list, damn

If you were to restrict it to bands that released their first material from the 00s onwards, most of my selection would be null and void

In that scenario this would almost definitely make the cut
