I was thinking about this today, so what's everyone's favorite death metal albums? Here's what my top 15 may look like: Obituary - World Demise Arch Enemy - Doomsday Machine Dying Fetus - Destroy the Opposition Obituary - The End Complete Death - The Sound of Perseverance Acrostichon - Engraved in Black Carcass - Necroticism Morbid Angel - Covenant Atheist - Piece of Time Nile - What Should Not Be Unearthed Pestilence - Consuming Impulse Sepultura - Schizophrenia Cancer - Sins of Mankind Death - Symbolic Obituary - Obituary It's hard to stop at 15, originally this was going to just be 10.  ------------- If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme |

As you may be aware my relationship with death metal is hit and miss and I've long been on a project to revise my older ratings. For now here's five albums I know will keep their 5 star ratings. Augury - Concealed Arch Enemy - War Eternal Lascaille's Shroud - The Roads Leading North MaYaN - Antagonise Nile - Those Whom the Gods Detest ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |

It´s an almost impossible task (but it´s always nice to be inspired and to inspire others to listen to what you think is great), and I´ll probably forget some albums, which deserve a place here, but I´ll give it a try: Macabre - Dahmer (not strictly a death metal release, but Macabre are mostly accepted as death metal). Morgoth - Odium (I know most people would mention "Cursed" instead of "Odium", but I love the post-apocalyptic atmosphere of Odium). Pestilence - Testimony of the Ancients (it could also have been Consuming Impulse. I love that album too) Atheist - Unquestionable Presence (today it´s probably not counted as death metal, but back then it was considered a weird jazzy form of death metal) Carcass - Necroticism Autopsy - Mental Funeral Darkthrone - Soulside Journey (I´m not a huge fan of their black metal releases, but their death metal debut album...hell yeah) Entombed - Clandestine Dismember - Like an Ever Flowing Stream (which is the only Dismember album I´m interested in. The rest are sub par to this one). Morbid Angel - Blessed are the Sick (could have been Altars of Madness or Covenant too, but Blessed...always thrilled me a bit more) Benediction - The Grand Leveller Bolt Thrower - ...for Victory (could have been a few of the others too) Napalm Death - Harmony Corruption (their only "true" death metal album) Deicide - Deicide (the debut album had a huge impact on me when it was released. Sadly they were never able to follow it up with something of equal or better quality). Death - Human (could have been Symbolic too) Edge of Sanity - Unorthodox Bloodbath - Nightmares Made Flesh Suffocation - Pierced from Within Dying Fetus - Destroy the Opposition (all their albums are great, but this one and the predecessor are the strongest IMO) Obituary - The End Complete (Obituary are incredibly consistent in style and quality, but this album is just a notch above the rest IMO). Black Breath - Slaves Beyond Death (this album deserves far more attention than it has gotten. Had this been released in the early 90s, it would have been a death metal hit). Atrocity - Hallucinations (this one seems like it´s been forgotten by time, and the fact that Atrocity changed their sound drastically throughout the years probably hasn´t helped either. If you haven´t heard of this album already, give it shot. It´s killer technical death metal with a great concept story). Cynic - Focus (well not strictly a death metal release, but it was considered part of the scene back then) Decapitated - Nihility (I love Organic Hallucinosis too. Vogg´s riffs floor me everytime I listen to Decapitated) Nile - What Should Not Be Unearthed (could have been a few others too) Malevolent Creation - The Ten Commandments Opeth - Blackwater Park Zyklon - World ov Worms OK, I know that was a few more than 15, but this is probably my favorite style of music, so I couldn´t help myself. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

Impossible!...might change tomorrow but here goes...

Suffocation - Pinnacle Of Bedlam Unleashed - Midvinterblot Gorguts - Coloured Sands Immolation - Majesty And Decay Bolt Thrower - ..For Victory ...or... perhaps another...(too many good ones to choose from) Carcass - Heartwork

I left some albums that I love out because I limited myself to 15, but I would definitely include the debut albums of Malevolent Creation, Vital Remains, and Gorefest, as well as an Entombed and Bolt Thrower album. Also I didn't think to add Opeth, but I would definitely put Still Life somewhere in my top 15. If I tried to list a top 15 thrash metal albums, that would be an impossible task for me as thrash is probably my favorite style of music.

We have it listed as death metal, so that's definitive. And I'm having it too.Anyway, I'll have a go. One per band:

I’ve yet to acquire many DM albums. Seems that when I select any DM album from YouTube (I try before I buy) it averages to be something like 3 in every 5 I’d like to get. But from the handful I have so far : NILE - In Their Darkened Shrines (though from the albums I’ve heard, they seem consistently impressive) GORGUTS - Pleiades’ Dust (it a smidge above Colored Sands, mainly coz drummer Patrice Hamelin is a star) OPETH - Morningrise GERYON - s/t (rhythm section of Krallice only - love the relentless drums and bass and McMaster’s gutteral vocals) ATHEIST - Unquestionable Presence And being the vinyl obsessive that I am, I’m seeking out albums from Cynic, Suffocation, Death and more Nile. Only the tip of the iceberg, really. |
