10 classic metal albums[views:8139][posts:47]___________________________________ [Feb 22,2004 5:56pm - dyingmuse ""] i copied this from another board. but this is interesting either way What do you numbskulls consider the top 10 classic metal albums of all time? And don't give me any of this Dimmu Booger/ Amon Amarth crap either.... I mean CLASSICS . You know, shit you can hear over & over without burning out on it. Good musicianship, good writing, good flow of songs, etc. My 10 classics: 1. SLAYER - Reign In Blood 2. DEICIDE - Deicide 3. TESTAMENT - The Legacy 4. SACRIFICE - Torment In Fire 5. SEPULTURA - Arise 6. EXODUS - Bonded By Blood 7. METALLICA - Master Of Puppets 8. VENOM - Welcome To Hell 9. DESTRUCTION - Eternal Devestation 10. DEMOLITION HAMMER - Epidemic Of Violence Kinda hard to narrow it down to only 10....... But I could live happily with only these. _________________ Sun Feb 22, 2004 3:29 pm dyingmuse Joined: 11 Jun 2003 Posts: 379 Location: boston mercyfull fate- dont break the oath king diamond-abigail candlemass-epicus doomicus metallicus venom-at war with satan my dying bride-turn loose the swans the third and the mortal-tears laid in earth theatre of tragedy-velvet darkness they fear sanctuary-refuge denied obituary-cause of death deicide-deicide _________________ this is dan from shroud of bereavement if you like neoclassical doom/death metal check my page the cd is out soon |

| _______________________________ [Feb 22,2004 6:30pm - eddie ""] crap replace powerslave with sodom-tapping the vein this is hard as hell |
| ________________________________ [Feb 22,2004 6:40pm - retzam ""] No order. Every Maiden studio album that came out before Bruce Dickenson left besides Seventh Son of a Seventh Son and No Prayers For The Dying. That's 7. So: 8. Metallica - Ride The Lightning 9. Morbid Angel - Blessed Are The Sick 10. Judas Priest - Painkiller |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 22,2004 6:56pm - JellyFish ""] also no order 10.Darkthrone-Transylvanian Hunger 9.Morbid Angel-Altars Of Madness 8.Cannibal Corpse-Eaten Back To Life 7.Slayer-Hell Awaits 6.Opeth-Still Life 5.Metallica-Kill 'em All 4.Obituary-Slowly We Rot 3.Napalm Death-Enemy of the Music Business 2.Pantera-101 Proof 1.Gwar-America Must Be Destryoed I tried to make everything I added older, so it could be truly classic. There are other albums I like more than some of these, but I kept it to one album per band. |
| __________________________________ [Feb 22,2004 8:24pm - HiImPaul ""] 1. suffocation - effigy of the forgotten 2. suffocation - pierced from within 3. malevolent creation - retribution 4. necrophagist - onset of putrefaction ( most technical DM ever) 5.dying fetus - KOA ( a lot might disagree but it changed the face of DM) 6.disgorge- cranial impalement 7.mortal decay- a gathering of human artifacts 8.dehumanized - prophecies fortold ( mastered slam DM ) 9.cryptopsy - WS 10. meshuggah- Chaossphere granted this is only off the top of my head the list changes every now and then. But i think these are definatly some classic metal discs |

Amon Amarth: I like once sent from the golden hall. I have NOT forgotten about them. No, the guy was just saying he only wanted metal that is really classic metal. Nothing in the last decade. Actually, I think Jellyfish's selection of Still Life is kind of controversial. I love Dimmu. They are definately in my top 10 favorite bands. Amon Amarth: to be honest, I havn't heard them. |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 22,2004 10:15pm - DeOdiumMortis ""] That's a stupid fucking guideline. Apparently no one can listen to Dimmu or Amon without burning out on it. Mighty pompous of the creator. Just because an album isn't older than me doesn't mean it can't be a classic. Retarded. |

Amon Amarth: to be honest, I havn't heard them. I had a feeling someone would notice this. I debated entering it myself. I tried to put things that were classic to me. Still Life was one of the most important albums I ever heard. It changed how I listened to music. As for Dimmu and Amon Amarth, they are both AWESOME. |

I think I have heard about 87463493 people say that they have a fucking amazing live show. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 23,2004 10:33pm - JellyFish ""] Yes, I have seen them live once, and it was an amazing show. They killed celebrities Saddam and Mike Tyson, and brought out Gor Gor, their pet dinosaur, which is 15 feet tall, and killed him of course. Dude, check it out. They are touring this may, according to the website (www.gwar.net) MAKE IT TO THE SHOW |

I am gonna try and make it up front at the Opeth show Saturday (I know you'll be up near the stage). If I can I will try to find you. I am not sure what you look like (but you'll be wearing a Red Sox hat right?) but I kind of know what Abbath looks like, so maybe I can find you guys and we can scream shit at eachother during Devil Driver's set? |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 24,2004 9:52am - TheGreatSpaldino ""] that initial list is all thrashy stuff. if this is going to be a CLASSIC list then its definitely going to be more NWOBHM bands than thrash. And Black Sabbath would be there. Iron Maiden as well. |

| ________________________________ [Feb 24,2004 2:59pm - retzam ""] TheGreatSpaldino said:is making crappy music a wrong in your eyes? it sure it in mine... GWAR is the apitimy of heavy metal. Metal's roots (not including Sabbath) are cheesy music about sex and other stupid things. Then it evolved into actual good music. GWAR's music is chockfull of great metal riffs and their lyrics are stupid in a funny way. They don't take themselves seriously Spaldino, so if you do, then you can't make a proper judgement. |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 24,2004 3:04pm - TheGreatSpaldino ""] they are good for a live show, but their music is crap. I know that they aret serious, but there is no way that any of their albums are classic. they are a joke and that is what i consider them and their music to be, a joke. you can listen to them for funny lyrics but not good metal riffs because they lack truly good riffing. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 24,2004 3:14pm - ninkaszi ""] i agree. gwar blows. i have seen them three times, all because i wanted to see someone else. wow, a brutal puppet show, awesome! it's fun for maybe 15 mins. |

| ___________________________________ [Feb 24,2004 5:40pm - dyingmuse ""] i never got into gwar. spaldino had a point. its just joke shit. but to each his own |
| ________________________________ [Feb 24,2004 5:53pm - retzam ""] I love the song Meat Sandwich because of its awesome riffs! It has three guitar parts and some stuff they do just sounds really good. Like in the pre-chorus one of the guitarist is playing a riff made up completely of harmonics (either natural or harp, probably harp). I know this isn't very original, but the riff sounds really cool. |
