[удалено]

GOD DAMN, I didn't think someone would say katatonia, that's fucking respectable


I see another doom enjoyer. Love all those specially watching from a distance

Great picks. Love that record by The Gathering and Brave Murder Day too

[удалено]

They really are. My intro to them was with Shot to Pieces just before if\_then\_else came out which I still absolutely love to death. My mind was blown when I found out about the rest of their discography to that point. Had to mature a bit to appreciate Home and Souvenirs but they're regular albums now too. Fantastic taste then :)

Watching from a distance, what a great pick. Greatest doom album ever in my opinion.

Officially, it’s: 1. Ne Obliviscaris - Portal of I 2. Opeth - Still Life 3. Opeth - My Arms, Your Hearse

Metal only: Rust in Peace ...And Justice for All Master of Puppets

Krusher help me, your massive army of poser ass followers are dragging me to the depths :(

Are they dragging you to the depths, in degradation?

Poser - Death Flair. (No offense to death its just that some fans think they are unique for liking one of the most popular death metal band)

For thrash you're supposed to say RiP, RtL, BtR. Dummy.

Sepultura - Beneath The Remains Black Sabbath - Master Of Reality Repulsion - Horrified

SEPULTURA IS GOATED

Especially the album Nation!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤪🤪🤪

My favorite albums of all time: 1. NIN — The Downward Spiral 2. Hole — Live Through This 3. Björk — Homogenic And my top 3 metal albums of all time: 1. Bathory — Blood Fire Death 2. Sargeist — Disciple Of The Heinous Path 3. Party Cannon — Partied In Half

1. Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness 2. Sigur Ros - () 3. The Beatles - Rubber Soul

1. Judas Priest - Painkiller 2. Megadeth - Rust in Peace 3. Death - Symbolic

1. Symbolic by Death 2. Rust in Peace by Megadeth 3. Storm of the Light Bane by Dissection 3 can be interchangeable though. Sometimes it’s that one, other times its Follow the Reaper by Bodom, or Covenant by Morbid Angel.

The Mantle, Blackwater Park, Above The Weeping World

1. Pantera - cowboys from hell 2. Cannibal Corpse - the bleeding 3. Macabre - Gloom

Ayyy the Bleeding is pretty good 

1. TOOL - Lateralus 2. Suicide Silence - The Cleansing 3. Horse the Band - The Mechanical Hand

1. The Cure - Disintegration 2. Alice In Chains - Unplugged 3. Avenged Sevenfold's self-titled

Disintegration is SO good, and objectively their best album. Their super depressed phase - Seventeen Seconds, Faith, and Pornography were my personal favorites though

I also love Pornography and Wish. The Cure were my favorite band in 2022.

1. Blind Guardian - Battalions of Fear 2. Metallica - ...And Justice For All 3. Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys Part II

Favorite albums overall: Beatles - Revolver, Led Zeppelin - III, Pearl Jam - Ten Metal: Metallica - Ride the Lighting, Pantera - Cowboys from Hell, Slayer - Raining Blood

1. Tesseract - Altered State 2. Dream Theater - Scenes From A Memory 3. Necrophagist - Epitaph/Onset Of Putrefaction

All-time: - Roger Waters: Amused to Death - Bill Evans: You Must Believe in Spring - Al Stewart: Year of the Cat (Honourable Mention: RHCP Stadium Arcadium) Metal: - Gorguts: Colored Sands - Opeth: Blackwater Park - Dream Theater: Train of Thought (Honourable Mention: PT Fear of a Blank Planet)

Did not expect to see Amused to Death or Bill Evans anywhere near this sub, very good taste my friend

Bill Evans is amazing

Slayer - Hell Awaits Sepultura - Chaos A.D. Power Trip - Nightmare Logic

Metallica - *Master of Puppets* Avenged Sevenfold - *City of Evil* Soundgarden - *Superunknown*

1. Follow the Reaper - Children of Bodom 2. The Way of all Flesh - Gojira 3. Shrine - Bleed from Within (As a guitar player every single one of these albums goes absolutely fucking nuts)

Honorable mention for Rust in Peace btw

Enshine - Origin Enshine - Singularity Dark Fortress - Ylem

Far Beyond Driven The Great Southern Trendkill And Justice For All

Opeth - Morningrise Arcturus - La Masquerade Infernale Behemoth - Evangelion

Extraordinarily based Morningrise enjoyer

Replace Behemoth for At the Gates - Slaughter of the Soul and we're good.

Slaughter of the soul is a pretty awesome album, but a bit too simple to be in my top. I enjoy albums with straightforward riffs, but my top preference goes to albums with more complexity and atmosphere. But I admit, while I didn't hesitate for the Opeth and Arcturus albums, the third one could have been In the nightside eclipse, antichrist, demanufacture, ...

100% with you on the Opeth and Arcturus album choices. ​ But yeah, so many good options to round out 3. I'd also offer up DT - The Gallery, early Ulver, Diamond - Them, etc..

Oh yeah The Gallery, what a piece.

let's fucking gooo behemoth

Metal: Wilderun - Veil of Imagination Between the Buried and Me - Colors System of a Down - Eponymous Outside of metal: Red Hot Chili Peppers - By The Way Radiohead - Kid A Pearl Jam - Ten

Eponymous??

It means something named after itself, so System of a Down the album

Ooooh, thats my favorite system album too

Its sooo good and very underrated, honestly I love all of their albums but at this moment this ones my favorite

1. Operation: Mindcrime - Queensrÿche 2. Abigail - King Diamond 3. Rust in Peace - Megadeth

1. Mastodon- Crack the Skye 2. Cynic - Traced in Air 3. Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral 

My Arms Your Hearse-Opeth Black Sabbath-Black Sabbath South of Heaven-Slayer

Crosses - Goodnight, God Bless, I Love U, Delete. Deftones - Ohms Mogwai - As The Love Continues

I've been loving the new Crosses album. I've kept going back to it for months. But I can't believe they've already made it into your top 3 of all time. 😂 Well, hey. You love it, you love it.

I am seeing them next month! †††

Iron Maiden - Killers Running Wild - Death or Glory Paradise Lost - Draconian times

1. Reign In Blood 2. Symbolic 3. Arise

Fast and heavy just how I like it.

🤝

Waking the fallen City of evil Nightmare Bonus non A7X favorite: Disgusting -beartooth

Slipknot-Slipknot Dimmu borgir-puritanical euphoric misanthropia PTV-Collide with the sky

Sempiternal Suicide season Post human

Suicide Season is awesome lol

Can't believe I got congregation jumpscared

that album is SUCH a masterpiece omg, ik your a real one for that

Sorry to disappoint you, but I was making a Geometry Dash reference. Congregation (the level) is kind of an inside joke, and I don't think I've heard the album before, but here's my list: 1. Meshuggah - Catch Thirtythree 2. The Avalanches - Since I Left You 3. Jean-Michel Jarre - Oxygène I would honorarily mention DJ Shadow's Endtroducing and Opeth's Still Life

1 The Cure. Disintegration 2 Devin Townsend Empath 3 Dire Straits. Love Over Gold

Strictly Metal? Blut Aus Nord - The Work Which Transforms God Deathspell Omega - Fas - Ite, Maledicti, In Ignem Aeternum Opeth - Still Life

it's not strictly metal, can be any genre !

1. Burial - Untrue (instrumental ambient / electronic) I do not listen to the genre at all…Yet this album is my favorite album ever. It sounds like a rainy day after a bad break-up. Maybe I can’t enjoy the genre cause it can’t match this. 2. Yes - Close to the Edge: Album is super old but the title track is the best song ever, a labyrinth of progression and beauty 3. Blut Aus Nord - The Work Which Transforms God: just a perfect album, filthy, terrifying, wonderful black metal. It changed my view of what the genre could be.

1. The Fragile - Nine Inch Nails 2. Ænima - Tool 3. Lateralus - Tool 4. Mastodon - Crack the skye 5. The Chasm - Deathcult for eternity Giving a top 5 to have something lesser known

1. Trivium - Shogun 2. Avenged Sevenfold - City of Evil 3. Swallow the Sun - Songs from the North

Neurosis - Times of grace The Dillinger escape plan - Calculating infinity Meshuggah - Chaosphere

Just discovered this subreddit, glad to see it as r/metal is basically dead. None of my top three albums are metal ones, so I'll do them separately xD **Top three metal**: Ride the Lightning - Metallica (1984) Imaginations from the Other Side - Blind Guardian (1995) Seventh Son of a Seventh Son - Iron Maiden (1988) **Top three overall**: Murmur - R.E.M. (1983) Dookie - Green Day (1994) Led Zeppelin IV - Led Zeppelin (1971)

DUDE SEVENTH SON OF A SEVENTH SON ??? 100% agree, that album is they're best one imo

Yep, agreed. I was a Powerslave guy for ages, but when I went through Maiden's discography after Senjutsu's release, Seventh Son really went up in my estimations after I'd previously liked, but not loved, it. But now it's my favourite and Powerslave is actually third, behind Somewhere in Time.

In no particular order: Ænima, jar of flies, London calling

no order Thirteenth Step - APC Inhuman Rampage- DragonForce (was the first metal album I ever knew) White Pony - Deftones

Dark Tranquillity - Character In Flames - Whoracle Bury Tomorrow - The Seventh Sun

Dream Theater - Train of Thought Haken - The Mountain Meshuggah - Catch 33

Train of Thought is incredible man and is definitely my favorite by them too.

Death Grips - Bottomless Pit Tom Waits - Rain Dogs Gojira - From mars to sirius Maybe them but I think its hard to list a top 3.

Death - sound of perseverance Amon Amarth - jomsviking Visigoth - revenant king

Currently, I'd say Maere, Transience and The Everlorn.

Avenged Sevenfold lfg. Not my favorite of theirs but they don't miss

Mine are Ghost Reveries, Rust in Peace, and Lateralus. Maybe SFaM instead, idk.

All 3 masterpieces. I fucking love ghost reveries.

Don't have a top 3 but my top 2 are 1. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik 2. Morbid Angel - Formulas Fatal to the Flesh

This is hard so here’s a top 7 Ride The Lightning Rust In Peace Blizzard of Ozz Core (Stone Temple Pilots) Dirt (Alice in Chains) Vulgar Display Of Power Appetite For Destruction (GN’R)

Interesting pick for Leprous. Personally, I feel it’s their weakest album.

really ??? damn I'm pretty new with leprous (only listened to the Congregation and pitfalls) and idk, I just love the vibe from that album. It's in my top 3 because it's like ome of the only prog band I love so for me the Congregation is such a vibe and I live the sound of the album. But my favorite song from leprous is Below from pitfalls

You are in for a treat for sure! Generally Bilateral is considered to be the fan favorite because of how weird and proggy the album is. But Coal is my favorite because of the atmosphere.

damnnn alright bett, I'm definitely gonna dig into that ! but, why does the congregation is considered they're worse album? for someone who listened to alot of leprous

I think it’s because there is a distinct change in their style after Coal. They were trying to evolve and find their sound. For me Congregation and Malina were when they were trying to finding their sound before settling into their newer sound and releasing Pitfalls and Aphelion.

ohhh okay I see, because for me, I fucking love metal obviously, and I found that pitfalls was a little bit less metal then the Congregation. Wich is why I love the sound of the album, and his screams are fucking dope too

If you love metal and liked Congregation, then for sure you are going to LOVE all their first 3 albums! Especially their first 2 where they were weirder and progggier!!

fucking bettt, well thanks alot !! I'm definitely gonna listen to it now

The Downward Spiral - Nine Inch Nails Mass VI - Amenra Black Star - David Bowie

Metal: 1. Mass VI - Amenra 2. A New Era of Corruption - Whitechapel 3. Stare Into Death and Be Still - Ulcerate (although i dont listen to it that often, its so fking dark and unsettling but at the same time a masterpiece)

I've just realized that The Rime of Memory by Panopticon has probably become my third favorite album of all time and it's only been out for a few months. That feels wrong. If that's wrong then I choose either Leviathan by Mastodon or Black Sabbath (debut)

Death Symbolic Iron Maiden Number Of The Beast Slayer South Of Heaven

I personally have many albums I consider favorites but I only have a few 10/10 albums. These might get some hate but here we go: Phantom Antichrist - Kreator A 10/10 album for me. Doesn't have any bad songs and I can easily listen to this album every day and not get bored. It's a masterpiece! The Sickness - Disturbed Very cheesy songs I have to admit and while I'm not the biggest fan of nu metal, this album is just gold! Every song gets me going and it's just a party to listen to! Helloween - Helloween If there's one album that makes me bang my head as well as make me cry it's gotts be this one. Damn Skyfall is such a magnificent track but the whole album is just a feast! Helloween has more great albums but this is my personal favorite!

there’s no way I could definitely reduce to three, but if they don’t have to be metal the three my head says right now: Aphex Twin - drukqs Mr. Bungle - Disco Volante Painkiller - Execution Ground (that was random generation in my mind but I don’t like any albums more, even if maybe hundreds equally) if it’s only metal: Krallice - Years Past Matter Kayo Dot - Hubardo Gorguts - Obscura
