Goddamn everyneurotic, thanks. I'm going to check out some of that.
I don't feel I've ever been properly introduced to metal, and that list should help put me some where in the metal genre.

one thing i have noticed, at least 3 female SY fans I know are huge Slayer fans also,

so i gotta ask the ladies, are you big SY AND Slayer fans?

I'd give you more rep if I could.....good list.

That band must have the worst vocals ever. Other than that and a few others which are a bit cheesy for my liking its a good list. Good to see Eyehategod getting some lovin

who's the third one? i'm blanking at the moment.

borknagr's self-titled record is great...and i'd say every pantera record (post-
glam shit, which is long out of print anyway) is worth a listen. "screaming for vengeance" by judas priest...damn everyneurotic, that is as close to a perfect list as you'll find...

La Sexorcisto is my favorite metal album. White Zombie rules.

i never listened to my war till today, a WHOLE different side of black flag. i love it

hell yes, i remember the first time i heard the first song i was "is this supposed to be the best doom album ever" it's the closest doom has ever come to power metal. but after the first song, the vocals kind of fit in a weirdo way, it is a great album.

EDIT:: shit!!! i forgot carcass!!! i also decided to put deftones' around the fur since it's quite bleak and textured and qualifies as heavy in my book.

check out a band called Baroness. saw them supporting capricorns who are also excellent but Baroness savaged them that night, kind of classic metal, kind of hardcore-y kind of thrash. bliss.

check this stuff:

SADUS: SWALLOWED IN BLACK
SADUS: A VISION OF MISERY
SADUS: ELEMENTS OF ANGER
SADUS: OUT FOR BLOOD

CORONER: GRIN
CORONER: CORONER

PRONG: CLEANSING
PRONG: RUDE AWAKENING
PRONG PROVE YOU WRONG
PRONG: BEG TO DIFFER

MINISTRY: THE LAND OF RAPE AND HONEY
MINISTRY: RIO GRANDE BLOOD
MINISTRY: THE MIND IS A TERRIBLE THING TO TASTE
MINISTRY: PSALM 69

DEATH: INDIVIDUAL THOUGHT PATTERNS
DEATH: HUMAN
DEATH: SYMBOLIC

OBITUARY: CAUSE OF DEATH

there's more I can't think of right now...

Never thought I 'd see Death get a mention on here...

Isn't Seventh son of the seventh son by Maiden so muh better than Killers? Or Number of the beast for that matter


Vulgar display of power kicks far beyond drivens arse.

Lateralus. Not Aenima, there's to many filler on that album.

first of all. i said it was MY list of favorite albums.

second, i like killers far better than seventh son... (too long and boring for my taste) or number (while it has some incredible songs in there, it has also many weak ones). in fact, the only maiden album that rivals killers in my opinion is powerslave.

vulgar, while being a classic, doesn't really cut it like far beyond does for me; side two is very weak with a couple of stand out tracks and also, dime's riffs have been recycled so much i feel like i'm listening to a deftones or coal chamber album.

lateralus is a fantastic album but it's not a HOLY FUCKING HELL WHO DID THEY DO THAT?

why don't you do your list?

here are a few more to the list, they kind of float more on the melodic metal:
russian circles
the torch
the sword
paik
pelican
these arms are snakes
les savoy fav
mastadon
earth crisis

i definitely word further recommend isis, jesu (especially silver ep), and deftones any day.

^Earth Crisis....hell yeah dude.

check out http://www.darksoul7.com/indexVideo.html ...

some vids really kick ass...others are just funny...

tipp: the first immortal video is funny as hell...^^ gandalf is alive...

Me, do a list? Ok then. I'll keep it short and sweet

Slayer-Reign in Blood (essential)
Megadeth-So Far, So Good, do What or maybe Rust in peace
Iron Maiden-Seventh son of the seventh son
Testement- The new order
Metallica-Master of Puppets
Pantera-Vulgar display of power
Opeth-Deliverance
Death-anything except 'scream bloody gore'
Anthrax-Among the living


The essestials remember

Yeah Mastodon are pretty sweet. I heard them at the same time as when I heard Isis, so I often get the two confused even though they sound quite different

lordy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


go finland!

All I listen to is death metal and feedback skronk.
