Top Ten Metal Albums
Here's a list of my current favourites, obviously I recommend these to any metalheads out rthere. They're worth your while. |
| 1 |  | The Ocean
Precambrian
Crushingly primal when it needs to be, even the calmer moments seem to
be seething and boiling before an eruption. Great stuff, and my favourite album. |
| 2 |  | Rotting Christ
Sanctus Diavolos
Classic Greek melodic black metal, I can't help but love this thing the whole
way through. Sanctimonius in particular is a jewel in Rotting Christ's crown
of horns. |
| 3 | | Daemonlord
Hellfire Centuries
A pretty unknown choice, but nevertheless a good one. The drums on this
album rumble and flow like a speeding torrent from the very beginning, until
they stunningly cede the limelight to the guitars in Monuments of
Bereavement. Riding the Mushhushu remains one of my BM favourites. |
| 4 |  | Dodecahedron
Dodecahedron
A very recent addition to my collection, I can't seem to stop spinning this
disc. It grips one and does with one what it wishes, from start to finish. Try
it out if you kinda like Deathspell Omega, but want better. |
| 5 |  | Funeral Mist
Maranatha
It's the blood! It's the blood!
Just check out the first two songs. White Stone is a wild beast. With
Mortuus on vocals, this destroys Marduk any day of the week. |
| 6 |  | Blood Revolt
Indoctrine
Insane vocals and militaristic drums make this an experience every time I
slap it on. You'll want to sing along amidst the gunshots. |
| 7 |  | Macabre
Dahmer
Speaking of sick minds, this beautiful piece of murder metal documents the
life and times of serial killer and cannibal, Jeffrey Dahmer.
It contains a song entitled McDahmer's. Enough said. |
| 8 |  | Kvelertak
Kvelertak
I can't really explain it. Kvelertak makes me want to grab a few beers and
learn Norwegian. |
| 9 |  | Down I Go
Tyrant
This is kind of cheating, as it's hardcore. But I couldn't go without
mentioning it. It's loud and rifftastic, it tells of cruel tyrants throughout
history, and GLORY TO STALIN THE GREAT! |
| 10 |  | Giant Squid
The Ichthyologist
This only dips its toes into metal, carrying more of a progressive vibe.
Nevertheless, it's ocean-based, and I love me some sea metal.
Still not convinced? Listen to 'La Brea Tar Pits'. |
