Best Metal Album

[JBGigas]

I could name here over 500 albums i love, but there is this one album that... well, it first ripped my heart out, after that it fried and ate it and ultimately it eaven throwed it back on it's place. And that great album is:
Wintersun - Wintersun
This package contains 8 eargasms that will blow up your god damn mind!

Man, I can't believe I forgot to put something from Ayreon! #JBGigas Right on with Wintersun! Death and The Healing is one of my favorite songs of all time.

Pop go the Wiggles by the Wiggles. Every show the crowd goes wild.

In all seriousness, Parnoid by Black Sabbath. I was raised on that shit.

 

[HarvesterofSorrow]

Metallica - ...And Justice for All, Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightning, Black Album, Death Magnetic (I'm a huge fan as you can tell)
Mastodon - Crack the Skye (and Leviathan to a lesser degree)
System of a Down - Toxicity (all their albums are great though)

 

[Iron Criterion]

Rust in peace by Megadeth
Amongst the living by Anthrax
Horrorshow by Iced Earth

These three are acceptable. Disagree and I will kill you will a rusty spoon. I'm just kidding...mostly.

 

[Willeus]

This, just this. They are amazingly captivating live and this album tells a great story.

I've seen them live (With Dethklok and High on Fire [I'm not mentioning the other abomination]) as well and loved them. Personally, I feel that, although I enjoy listening to Crack the Skye alot, Blood Mountain gets the trophy here. It was a huge success and helped get metal back on it's feet these past 5 years. Kudos Mastodon.

Well There is no "Best Album ever" That I could attest to but some of my favorites are as follows
1.Blazing Eternity - of times and unknown waters
2.Dark Tranquillity - Haven (best live show I've ever been to)
3.Frameless Scar - Whatever album 18-nine is on cause that song alone can make an album great
4.Katatonia - viva emptiness
5.Everything from Opeth
6.Everything from Agaloch
7.Project Hate MCMXIX - Hate, Dominate, Congregate, Eliminate
8.Raunchy - Velvet noise
9.Soilwork - Natural Born Chaos
10.In Flames - Reroute to Remain.

Not in any order but if you love metal... try these out.

Almost certainly Black Sabbath's Paranoid. I did really enjoy Mastodon's Crack the Skye, though. I also adore Imaginos by Blue Oyster Cult, though that's sort of right on the line between metal and hard rock.

And Dawn of Victory by Rhapsody is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. I enjoy the album despite disliking Power Metal on principle.

Feel the Steel!

Calumon: I can feel the steel, but it's really really cold.

Steel Panther! It's a pretty good album, great if you want a good laugh. I'd love to know if some of the things they sing about in their songs actually happened, I get the feeling the majority probably did :|

 

[Sonicron]

Let's see, out of the ones I have... hmmm...

Amon Amarth - Versus the World
Dark Tranquility - Damage Done
Die Apokalyptischen Reiter - Samurai
Disturbed - Ten Thousand Fists
Fear Factory - Archetype
In Extremo - Sünder ohne Zügel
Iron Maiden - Brave New World
Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory (yes, yes, burn me at the stake if you must... )
Mudvayne - The End of All Things to Come
Rammstein - Mutter
Subway to Sally - Engelskrieger

[OutcastBOS]

I know everyone has their own opinions. Mine is Painkiller

Spoiler: my favorite songs, and the title track

 

[Zuka]

1. The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden(Hallowed Be Thy Name is best metal song ever)
2. Reign In Blood by Slayer
3. Master Of Puppets by Metallica
4. Rust in Peace by Megadeth

 

[Shock and Awe]

UP THE IRONS!

 

[YoUnG205]

Count Your Blessings - Bring me the horizon.
It is amazing.

If you genuinely do not know about Ayreon, you should really remedy that ASAP.

Personally I found Ayreon to be cheesier than an ABBA and brie sandwich. It reminds me a lot of Genesis. and I really hate Genesis.

But hey, most of what I listen to now is not really classified as metal. I mean, Kyuss is borderline, and I omitted Clutch & Monster Magnet for the same reason.

Oh yeah: Whoever suggested Metropolis Part 2 - Dream Theater, check out Steve Vai. There's just the same amount of pretentious wank in that schmuck too.

Sepultura-Arise

just amazing, i blew my mind the very first time i listended Dead Embryonic Cells. the best album Sepultura made EVER!

 

[DividedUnity]

This has been my favourite metal album for a long while so i consider it the best.

The Agonist. Lullabies for the dormant mind

Dethklok and Crack the Skya by Mastadon.
