[PSIL0777]

I know this isn't Industrial or Noise but I really didn't think it belonged in the Art section. I know we have a ton of Metal heads here, and most of you were brought into Industrial/Noise/PE through Metal. What are some of your favorite Metal releases of all time?

I did a pretty in depth list of mine with short reviews over at RYM, it is still a work in progress but the first 25 have been established. I tend to like the dirty and evil Speed Metal genre with punk flavoring and Thrash, as you will see:

Your favorites? Comments? Ideas? Metal discussion in general is welcome.

Unholy " Trip To Depressive Autumn " demo tape & LP reissue

[Cranial Blast]

Piledriver - Metal Inquisition (thee original poser killer)

Bulldozer - The Day Of Wrath (perfect mix of Mötörhead and Venom)

Deathspell Omega - Si Monvmentvm Reqvires, Circvmspice (biggest game changer in aesthetics and sound for early 00's BM)

Cryptopsy - Blasphemy Made Flesh (one of the most profound and lyrically explicit DM albums to ever be produced and with a strong emphasis on technical, yet melodic leads)

VON - Satanic Blood (brilliant by accident, sheer satanic lo fi terror done by these northern California maniacs)

Shitfucker - Suck Cocks In Hell (modern black metal/punk executed executed brilliantly and effectively by Detroit maniacs who understand the importance of the sound
of G.I.S.M.)

Ride For Revenge - Wisdom Of The Few (modern day take and expression of Beherit with an emphasis on experimental approach. Proves the beast of BM has many heads!)

I can fucking go on forever, but this is what comes to mind spontaneously off the cuff!

[Fistfuck Masonanie]

One of my favorites from the 2000s that often gets overlooked, especially now, is The Crown. A perfect blend of Thrash, Death Metal, and rock n' roll sensabilities. Satanic worship lyrics, shredding riffs, incredible drumming, and general head-bang-ability. Just want to chug beers and trash about with this band. Deathrace King is a near-perfect album. Crowned in Terror is also fantastic. So many classics tracks across those two albums like Death Explosion, Under the Whip, Speed of Darkness, Blitzkrieg Witchcraft, and Total Satan.

[ritualabuser]

Nile is one whose first two albums I've just recently revisited and they've held up surprisingly well, especially for more "mainstream" tech death. Then again, I am a sucker for Egyptian historical stuff when it's done well or in a novel way, so the theme might be propping it up a bit.

[MALAISE57]

Other than noise/industrial, i listen to alot of the brutaler stuff of death metal. Bands like Mortician, Torsofuck, Last Days of Humanity.. etc etc...

[Zeno Marx]

Death doom isn't really of much interest, but this album turned out to be a great blind purchase item.  It not only surprised me at the time, but it has continued to hold up over the years.  Riffs and interesting twists and interesting production.  Could never be made today, just on the drum sound alone.  The cover art looks more like an EBM release or an ad you'd find in Industrial Nation.  With everything getting reissued on vinyl, I'm surprised it hasn't got the treatment.

Spina Bifida - Ziyadah 1993
https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Spina_Bifida/Ziyadah/29986

[BatteredStatesofEuphoria]

Don't listen to a lot of metal outside the gym these days, but one big exception as of late has been Blut Aus Nord. Probably a lot of black metal purists would dismiss them because of all their experimentation with other genres, but that's why I enjoy them so much (although they've returned to a more traditional bm sound with the last couple). Have spun "Hallucinogen" and "Cosmosophy" so many times I'm worried I might be in danger of wearing out the records. All their releases have something to offer. And their early straight up bm albums are still amazing.

That riff and section @6:13 pretty much rules everything.
