Ok, list of 5 bands that you still can't get enough of, where you've probably listened to the album so many times and you still say, "DAMN! This is freaking amazing!", or just have the need to head bang!


1)Devourment - Butcher The Weak: I honestly don't know how many times I've listened to this album, but to me, it's all about the slam and drums with this band, every time I hear any of their songs, I can't help but to head bang.

2)Dying Fetus: Mostly to any of their albums to be honest. I've never heard so many transition in their riffs, it always keeps the song pretty much new and clean. And they always have that certain groove to one of their songs that you just need to headbang or gets you pumped up.

3)Hate Eternal - King of All Kings: This is, in my opinion, one of the heaviest albums I know and love, it either fills me up with so much rage or adrenaline. When I need something fast, brutal, or when I'm angry, I'll stick to this album. I remember how much rage I had when I saw them live, I just had to pit, especially when they closed off with King of All Kings, lord have mercy....

4)Decrepit Birth - Diminishing Between Worlds: The most technical album I've ever heard. This album NEVER gets old as many times i've listened to it. I wouldn't put this album as, simply heavy. There's a lot of aspects to this album and it never ever seems to bore me. Still one of my favorite albums of all time.

5)Morbid Angel: of course, this would be my favorite band of all time, and when I hear those original oldschool riffs and beats, brings me back to my haven of when Death Metal was still pure. I always sing along to each and every song and always catch them live. This band still gives me the chills and I'll always still be a fan of this band no matter what...

Only a top 3. Oh, well.

Behemoth - Demigod - The album that opened my eyes to Death Metal and really widened my musical taste in general. I'll never grow tired of it.

Amorphis - Silent Waters & Eclipse - I can't get enough of either one of these.

Opeth - Nearly all albums(I'm not as much into the first three, though I listen to them frequently, too).

Now, there are many more bands and albums I keep coming back to, but these are the ones that I can never really get enough of.

Bastard

Genius Trilogy
Pagan's Mind Enigmatic Calling
Shadows of Steel - Second Floor - Dame and Lord is probably my favorite power metal song
Ark - Burn The Sun - Coin spin in heal the waters is still awesome
Pain of Salvation - Remedy Lane - Love a trace of blood

I like all the albums from these bands really (for the most part) but picked my fave from them

MetallicA - Master of Puppets
Sonata Arctica - For the Sake of Revenge
Opeth - Ghost Reveries
In Flames - Clayman
Arch Enemy - Wages of Sin

1. King's X--Everything including all of Ty,Dug and Jerry's solo stuff.

2. Fates Warning--"Awaken The Guardian" The pioneers of prog metal..This album is so great it still blows my face off with every listen..I love all thier albums but this one is special..John Arch.. Come back to us!!!

3. Slayer--"Reign In Blood" No explanation needed..Next..

4. Mad Season--"Above" The best thing to come out of the "grunge" era.THis is definitely a desert island disc..Highly recommended.

5. Morbid Angel--Mostly everything but especially "Domination"."
"Dawn Of The Angry" makes me want to punch Jesus and eat babies..

There's plenty more but that's 5 off the top of my head..

Into Eternity - Buried in Oblivion
Scar Symmetry - Symmetric in Design
Nevermore - Dead Heart in a Dead World
Chimaira - The Impossibility of Reason
Fear Factory - Obsolete

i may go a long time without hearing any one of these cds, but when i do, its like a breath of fresh air

Kreator - Enemy of God
Mercyful Fate - Melissa
Sodom - Agent Orange
Testament - The Gathering
Pantera - Cowboys From Hell

1. Moonsorrw - The last three including the EP, just amazing stuff, so layered that every time you listen you hear something new, awesome atmosphere, great music

2.Gjallarhorn - Nordheim - still pumps me up, especially "the day odin stood still" great epic stuff

3. Amon Amarth - known of the band since crusher and still not tired of any of their music, still dig it

4.In Vain - The latter rain - one of the best albums of 07 and maybe ever, great stuff, still turn it on and still sounds awesome

5.Grave Digger - Rheingold - also epic stuff, great songwriting, great music, still not sick of it

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
Dream Theater - Awake
Type O Negative - Dead Again
Opeth - Watershed
Testament - The Formation Of Damnation

These aren't in any particular order.

Nile - Annihilation of the Wicked: God help me this album always punishes my face right off. I never get tired of it.

Windir - 1184: Strong contender for my favorite album of all time.

1349 - Liberation: In my eyes, it's nigh impossible to get any more perfect than this album. I have, on more than one occasion, listened to this album on loop all day long.

Decrepit Birth - Diminishing Between Worlds: I feel the same way as you, Azag. This album cold punishes.

Finsterforst - Weltenkraft: Only a few of you probably know this one, but it's damn amazing. If you like folk then you have to check this one out.

Mmhh...These kind of topics make me mad! ...In the infinite galaxy of albums listened in 24 years of metal madness, and with an embarassing lack of memory, I will (hardly) choose:

Metallica - Master Of Puppets

Anthrax - State Of Euphoria

Testament - Practice What You Preach

Hypocrisy - The Fourth Dimension

...and the most recent one Dawn Of Demise - Hate Takes Its Form

Well at least those albums kick ass, lol. Especially Testament!

Honorable mention for me:

Dio - Holy Diver: Come on, it's f**king Holy Diver.

I'll give it a go but I hate these things. My opinion will change next week. Anyway, here goes;

Winter - Into Darkness
It just has to be one of the best Doom albums I've ever heard.
Arcturus - Aspera Hiems Symfonia
One of the albums that got me into black metal, still a favourite to this day.
Carcass - Swansong
I can't really explain it. I love this album.
Hate Eternal - King Of All Kings
"Slam my balls in a door thats heavy!"
Clutch - Transnational Speedway League
Oh how I love Stoner Rock.

And as predicted I've thought of a few more. Bugger it, I'm making my list 7 instead of 5;

Treponem Pal - Excess & Overdrive
My Dying Bride - Turn Loose The Swans

And there's about 5 more in my head that I can't get enough of.

i'll have to go with:

nile - annihilation of the wicked

the black dahlia murder - unhallowed

vital remains - dechristianise

misery signals - mirrors

slayer - reign in blood

\m/

pantera "vulgar display". absolutely never enough album.

entombed "to ride, shoot straight...", iron maiden's "live after death" and "7th son of a 7th son", "master of puppets", some megadeth albums of the same era, voivod's "dimension hatross"... and of course prong's "beg to differ" and "prove you wrong". all depends on personal mood, the day, the weather etc. during winter the lists goes more to the black metal. but vulgar display is just The One in every condition especially when driving, heh

In no particular order

Nile - Amongst the Catacombs Of Nephren-Ka

Hypocrisy - Virus

Notice how whenever there is threads where someone says, "pick your top # of etc." there is always a bunch of people that never adhere to that number? Some interesting choices and awesome new avatar Waqz g-slice.

There are three kinds of people in this world:

Those who can count....
and those who can't.

MONSTER - Death Metal Blues, Volume One - Bringing Back The GORE! (my band)
MEGADETH - Rust In Peace (the greatest metal album ever recorded)
IRON MAIDEN - Live After Death (the greatest live performance ever recorded)
ENTOMBED - Uprising, Morning Star, Wolverine Blues, T.R.S.S.A.S.T.T. Clandestine. (I f**king love this band)
EXODUS - Tempo Of The Damned, Shovel Headed Kill Machine. (the best albums so far this decade)

I could give you a list of at least 25 BANDS that I can't get enough of.
5 cds is just to limiting to me and I will feel like I have left way too much stuff out.

TESTAMENT ~ The Gathering/New Order
DIO ~ Holy Diver
MORBID ANGEL

Heathen - Victims Of Deception

2.Kreator "Enemy Of God"
3.Absolution "The Revelation Diaries"
4.Dissection "Reinkaos"
5.Swallow The Sun "The Morning Never Came"

Martyr- Feeding the Abscess
This album is just so intense and technical. I will never get bored of it because everytime you listen to it you hear it in a different way then you did before. Tech Death at it's best.

Dream Theater- Images and Words
A classic album. I don't know why i love it so much. I guess it's just a perfect album.

Death- Everything from Human to Sound of Perseverance
Also classic. These albums got me into death metal and they will always have a place in my heart so that i can listen to them without end.

Killswitch Engage- As Daylight Dies
This album is just addicting. I can't get enough of it.

Scar Symmetry- Holographic Universe
This album is just completely innovative and interesting. Not to mention the amazing clean vocals.

Into Eternity- Buried in Oblivion
The Faceless- Akeldama

Machine Head - Burn my Eyes
Into Eternity - Dead Or Dreaming

the first one that get into my mind!!

Opeth - I find myself always listening to them nonstop. Although I barely got into them a month ago, they're already my favorite artist and have almost 1000 plays on lastfm. Truly great music, bleak and at times brutal and catchy. I'm more of a fan of Blackwater Park and beyond, but I do enjoy Morningrise quite a bit. The other releases haven't caught my attention yet. (But I admit, I hardly listen to them since I'm occupied with the others since I got them first.)

Ihsahn - angL : Such a crushing album, not only because it's extreme and harsh, but also because of the sheer amazing progressive and melodic qualities that's added into the composition of the music. One of my favorite albums to date, and I had thought the Adversary couldn't be topped. Ihsahn's songwriting is still very strong, and I greatly look forward to any later releases.

Vintersorg - My former favorite artist for nearly a year, their music is truly great and inspiring. Andreas's musical AND lyrical abilities are amazing, and have influenced me like no other band has. I do like all their releases, but I do prefer post Till Fjalls.

Decrepit Birth- Diminishing Between Worlds...I'd have to use the same reason as the previous posters for liking this album so much. It really did shock me, as I was very disdainful to all brutal death. This is definitely a rare exception though.

Nachtmystium - At first I was mostly interested in them because they were once obscure and I was in my USBM phase. Their earlier releases were pretty generic and unoriginal, and I don't listen to them anymore. Anyways, after the release of Eulogy IV...I was surprised at the sudden change from Darkthrone influenced to their now famous "psychedelia" sound. It actually worked very well, and they became far better after that. Their style is fresh and is one of the few black metal bands I hear to this day, with their newest release "Assassins" they took it a step forward and brought another great (but sadly short) effort.
