You know you've done something right with your metal RU-vid channel when fans of prog metal, 90's black metal, and Avenged all have nothing but positive to say.
@@RastaganTheGreen if he throws a Limp Bizkit album there, he will successfully manage to make black metal fans, prog metal fans and heavy metal fans agree on something for the first time in the history of ever, that Limp Bizkit shouldn't be there 😂😂
I was first fascinated by Metallica. I bought a guitar, learned a few riffs and just when I started to feel SORT OF confident I discovered Megadeth riffs. Back to 1st grade.
my top albums W.A.S.P. - The Headless Children Riot - Thundersteel Judas Priest - Defenders of the Faith Black Sabbath - Heaven & Hell Carcass - Swansong Agalloch - The Mantle Electric Wizard - Come My Fanatics Skull Fist - Chasing the Dream

I’ve been a massive Metallica fan for years, but I will never argue with anyone who says Rust in Peace is the greatest metal album of all time…it’s an absolute masterpiece and I share Bradley’s opinion of Megadeth to the letter 🤘
10: Dream Theater- Train of Thought 9: Tool- Aenima 8: Porcupine Tree- Fear of a Blank Planet 7: Gojira- L'Enfant Sauvage 6: Opeth- Ghost Reveries 5: Metallica- And Justice for All 4: Death- Individual Thought Patterns 3: System of a Down- Steal This Album 2: Mastodon- Crack the Skye 1: Metallica- Ride the Lightning Honorable mention: Trivium- The Sin and the Sentence
Rust In Peace is my favorite album of all time, too. Others albums, in no-particular order are: • The Sound of Perseverance - Death • Ride The Lightning - Metallica • Bonded By Blood - Exodus • Persistence of Time - Anthrax • Painkiller - Judas Priest • Cowboys From Hell - Pantera • Somewhere In Time - Iron Maiden • Scenes From A Memory - Dream Theater • Sabotage - Black Sabbath • Reign In Blood - Slayer • Keeper of the Seven Keys (1 and 2) - Helloween
love how varied this list is! got some great suggestions to (re)listen to but I am 100% with you on Ghost Reveries and mid-era Opeth peaking. one of my top 5 for sure.
Wow, dance of death is a preety unusual pick. Great list beanley!!! Here's mine: 1- Megadeth - Rust In Peace (1990) 2- Artillery - By Inheritence (1990) 3- Judas Priest - Painkiller (1990) 4- Death - Leprosy (1988) 5- Megadeth - Youthanasia (1994) Some other that I ADORE, in no order: Annihilator - Alice In Hell (1989) Metallica - Ride The Lightning (1984) Slayer - Show No Mercy (1983) Megadeth - Endgame (2009) Vektor - Terminal Redux (2016)
Master of Puppets is my #1. Not a single skippable track and everything on it just goes right. Another album I think worth mentioning is Sabaton's Carolus Rex. I know it's not the most complex thing ever, but the sheer amount of emotion and passion the band put into it and how fluently it tells its story makes it just a phenomenal listen every time
I completely agree with Dance of Death - I loved it immediately and often go back to it. No More Lies and Paschendale are two of their best 'long' songs. Also on the 'out of the comfort zone' stuff, Face in the Sand is the only song where Nicko McBrain uses double-kick pedal (he said it's the hardest thing he's ever done). Scenes from a Memory is indeed the best DT album :)
Hangar 18 is the song that got me into metal full time, the combination of Dave & Marty’s guitar work, the magical vocals from Dave in the song, and just the overall feeling you get from it
@@tonywacholz6279 my favorite would be the conjuring Hangar 18 got me into metal But the conjuring ruined my neck for good back in April My first concert ever back in April, and as soon as the drums kicked in after Obey I let loose
Not in a particular order, because that would take too long to decide honestly! Metallica - ...And Justice for All Agalloch - The Mantle Carach Angren - Where the Corpses Sink Forver Megadeth - Rust In Peace Amon Amarth - Surtur Rising Death - The Sound of Perseverance Gojira - From Mars to Sirius Children of Bodom - Follow the Reaper Vektor - Black Future Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss
Maidens 00’s run was amazing. Brave New World, Dance of Death, Matter of Life and Death, Final Frontier are all amazing. Like man it’s insane they stayed so good after 20 years
Here's mine! 1. Epicus Doomicus Metallicus by Candlemass 2. Melissa by Mercyful Fate 3. Coma of Souls by Kreator 4. Those Once Loyal by Bolt Thrower 5. Rising by Rainbow 6. Mesmerize/Hypnotize by SOAD 7. Follow the Reaper by Children of Bodom 8. Human by Death 9. Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden 10. Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath I've listened countless times to all those albums. Honorable mentions: -Stained Class by Judas Priest -De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas by Mayhem -Ecliptica by Sonata Arctica -Heaven and Hell by Dio's Black Sabbath -Wolfheart by Moonspell
im not into avenged sevenlfold at all. i really dont know why, it just doesnt grow on me. that said i must say i laughed the shit out of this comment ahahaha thank you even if it was not the intent
@@christopherhowes987 It's definitely their most enjoyable. StST, I mean, it's cool, but it's ass compared to everything else they've made. Still better than a lot of metalcore I've heard though, so props there. Waking the Fallen...well, let's be totally honest, it's a timeless metalcore album and is up there with the greats like All That Remains' Fall of Ideals. Maybe not as widely loved/appealing, but it's up there. I love it. City of Evil was just insanity. Third album from a relatively new band, pulling off shit basically no other band could at the time. The absolute skill of everyone in CoE, top-notch (I mean Matt hit an F1 in one passage of Betrayed and an A5 in the backing of the intro to Beast and the Harlot. Burn it Down had insane drumming. M.I.A was guitar nerd paradise.) IMO their prime before The Stage, maybe just period. Self-Titled, super varied, has a song for anyone, nothing more that has to be said there. Nightmare, very emotional, amazing album, but not their best work MUSICALLY. However, it was an incredibly emotional hard-hitter and it certainly deserves points for that. Hail to the King, cool, still A7X, but not my favourite at all. And The Stage...oh boy. Basically if Dream Theater (in their prime) decided to stop being show-offs and actually wrote some consistent, sensical prog. Like Opeth's prime.
My top ten would be something like this (it changes every week tho haha): 1- Opeth - Blackwater Still Ghost of the Damnation Hearse 2- Cult of Luna - A Dawn to Fear 3- Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son 4- Megadeth - Rust in Peace 5- Agalloch - The Mantle 6- Between the Buried and Me - Colors 7- Death - Symbolic 8- Deafheaven - Sunbather 9- Unexpect - Fables of the Sleepless Empire 10- Rivers of Nihil - Where Owls Know My Name
I'm a huge Ride the Lightning guy. It was what made me fall in love with the genre and I highly doubt I'll hear anything more magnificent in my entire life. Some of my other favourites would be Rust in Peace, Toxicity by SOAD and really anything by TOOL. They've never had a bad album.
Same here... bought RTL in '85 when no one had really heard of them in the UK on the basis of hearing Creeping Death on the Tommy Vance show. I had to include it in my list because of how it blew me away! JFA might be my favourite, but for me it's hard to choose between those two and you can also chuck MOP into the mix.
I'm late to the party, but here's my top 10 metal albums: 1. Atheist - Unquestionable Presence 2. Opeth - Blackwater Park 3. Demilich - 20th Adversary of Emptiness 4. Cryptopsy - None So Vile 5. Devin Townsend - Ziltoid the Omniscient 6. Dead Congregation - Graves of the Archangels 7. Gorguts - Obscura 8. Meshuggah - I 9. Ulcerate - Everything is Fire 10. Suffocation - Pierced From Within
Man that was so entertaining! Instant sub! Thanks for the video. Love how you mix in samples of what you were just taking about. I so agree with rust in peace. And scenes from a memory. Found some stuff I didn’t know about too.
My favs are: Scenes from a memory - dream theater The human equation - ayreon The divine wings of tragedy - symphony x Blackwater park - opeth Slipknot - slipknot
Blackwater park has one of the coolest intro/main riffs, especially for still basically being in the key of e. Very original. Got stuck in my head the first time I heard it till I learned the riff just from memory of hearing it. Good stuff. But of course dream theater, Jon petrucci is no joke either.
Great list Bradley! My top albums 5. Sylosis - Conclusion of an Age / Edge of the Earth 4. Machine Head - The Blackening 3. Trivium - Shogun 2. Judas Priest - Painkiller 1. Iron Maiden - Powerslave / Somewhere in Time
@@ElViejoYElViaje I love every single one of their albums. You should definitely listen to Conclusion Of An Age and Edge Of The Earth in their entirity. New album from them coming in 2022 btw
My favorite is Korn's self titled. I don't care if it's nu metal, it still sounds awesome. It's nice to know that whenever I'm pissed off, there are four guys from Bakersfield who feel the same way
Let me tell you how Rust in Peace (the album) became my favorite metal album of all times. I discovered Megadeth in 2002 when I was 16. I am from Brazil and, as always, metal was not exactly popular down here. So, if we wanted to buy a CD from a metal band that was not Iron Maiden or Metallica (bands that were "popular enough" for the labels to decide to print their CDs in Brazil), for example, we had no choice but to acquire imported CDs, which would cost me all the money I had for a month. Thus, my friends and I used to first download the songs of a given band through softwares like Napster, Kazaa, Emule and only after we were 100% sure that a certain band was worthy, we would then spend our limited cash to buy that band's CD. Well, back in 2001/2002, when you searched for a given bands song in one of those softwares like Kazaa, you would get MP3 files named such as "Metallica - One", or "Iron Maiden - Run To The Hills", following the pattern "Band name - song name". Therefore, when I was "discovering" ("downloading" cough, cough) Megadeth I had a folder filled with individual songs in MP3 format like "Megadeth - Hangar 18", "Megadeth - Holy Wars", "Megadeth - She Wolf", with no information whatsover about from what album each song came from. The thing is that, from all the Megadeth songs I have downloaded, after one year I had my personal Top 5: "Megadeth - Holy Wars", "Megadeth - Hangar 18", "Megadeth - Take no Prisioners", "Megadeth - Lucretia", and "Megadeth - Tornado of Souls". I thought these songs were awesome, the guitar playing was out of this world (I never heard those scales and that riff creativity), and somehow had a magic element that other Megadeth songs did not have. I did not know all these songs where from the same album. To be honest, I only found out that these 5 songs were from the same album 2 or 3 years after I had establisedh my top 5 best Megadeth songs. What was my surprise at the end of 2004 when I found out that, not only all my favorite Megadeth songs were from the same album, but also there was one extra major song, which beared the same name of the album: "Rust in Peace". After I found out all these 5 songs belonged to the same album, Rust in Peace was already one of my favorite albums ever. I recall I that my expectations were very, very high when I finally got to listen "Megadeth - Rust in Peace" for the first time. After five minutes listening to that song, I was completely baffled that Megadeth had surprised me again: not only Rust in Peace was a great song, it was a thrash metal master piece, I had no choice but to turn my top 5 Megadeth songs a top 6. So, not only all my favorite Megadeth songs back then were from the same album, but this album was so damn good that it made me discover another thrash metal jewel "Rust in Peace... polaris". After discovering this last song, "Rust in Peace" became my favorite metal album of all time, and still is. Like a good wine, Rust in Peace is aging very well. If you google now "best metal album of all times", Rust in Peace will appear among the very best, where it belongs.
I told the same to everyone. Rust in Peace is the best master piece ever created. I’m not a big fan of Megadeth, but this album is the foundation of all my guitar and music.
A really great video. I accidently got into metal about a year and a half ago. A rock band started getting good reviews and I watched their videos. The I saw a lot of "reaction to" videos and started watching those. I found some very good Reaction To channels by people with connection to music in one way or another. And metal is one of the mainstays of these channels. You have picked a nice variety of styles and given a clear reason on what these albums offer. Thank you, I have some new stuff to listen to. I subscribed, looking forward to exploring your content.

Dude, your feel for the metal, and how great the tunes feel matches mines so well, there were a number of al ums on here that I just couldn't stop playing as well, I'm a vocalist and piano player so this isn't so much what I play, but the metal runs deep in my veins, keep tearing it up brother!

Hell yeah dude, I have a Opeth tattoo, and it all started with Still Life. It is still my favorite Opeth album and I am certain I'm going to play the entire album at my wedding! Great list btw

Mad respect for Odyssey and Speed Metal Symphony, never heard any other RU-vidr talk about how awesome those albums are. Another really amazing album that I love is Jason Becker’s Perpetual Burn. Just an absolute masterclass in guitar playing.
My top Metal Albums: 10 - Arch Enemy Will to Power 9 - Ozzy Osborne "Bark at the moon" 8 - Slayer "Riegn in Blood" 7 - Manowar "Louder than Hell" 6 - Black Sabbath "Heaven and Hell" 5 - Pantera "Vulgar Display of Power" 4 - Ария "Герой Асфальта" (Aria "Hero of the Asphalt") 3 - Metallica "Black album" 2 - Megadeth "Rust in Peace" 1 - Dio "Lock Up The Wolves"

I remember the first time I heard Megadeth, and it indeed was hangar 18. I was around 2002 and I was driving in my car, listening to the radio. The song came on and it immediately grabbed my attention. When the first silo started to come to an end I parked my car and just sat there listening. Chills went through my body as the song kept going on and on. When it was over, I knew I had to find out the name of the song, the band, and immediately buy this album.
Dance of Death might be my favorite Iron Maiden album too. I'm not the biggest Maiden fan (I'm more of a casual listener TBH) but there's something I really dig about it. It was the first album by them I heard in full, the melodies are really catchy, the long compositions are really well crafted and powerful ("Paschendale" is absolutely fantastic, is one of my favorite), performances and productions are really good. It has a bunch of tracks I don't like, but overall it's a great album. From the 80s, Somewhere In Time might be my favorite.
Damn dude let me spill some praise. Where some guitar RU-vidrs are too goofy or bland for my taste, you portray a wonderful mix of humour and information as well as talent. Like wtf you're incredibly skilled and inspiring whether it's an awesome cover of the whole rust in peace album (which is my all time favourite as well; can't fucking wait to perfectly nail lucratia, tornado of souls and hangar 18) and a great tribute to the wild child, delightfully amazing shorts or a fockin' 3 hour LotR epic. You're like the shredding big brother I never had and if I were to make it in any way as a guitarist, it would me jarring to have a collab with you. Keep it going man, I hope your channel and work in general keep on growing a humongous fanbase!
I had Scenes From A Memory in my CD player in high school for 9 months straight. I still listen to Cacophony every week or so as well. Images, Black Cat, Concerto, Speed Metal Symphony, ESP, so many good tracks across both albums. Jason Becker and Marty as a duo playing off each other is something I don't know will ever happen again at that technical of a level.
Among The Living by Anthrax is probably my number 1 metal album of all time, there is not a bad song on that album (in my opinion). It's also given me a massive amount of inspiration as a guitar player.
I could almost list five albums at least from every artist here to be in my top 10, it changes about everyday. (1 per artist) 10: Slaughter of the Soul by At The Gates 9: Wishmaster by Nightwish 8: The Fall of Ideals by All That Remains 7: Shadows Are Security by As I Lay Dying 6: Wintersun self-titled 5: Tales from the Thousand Lakes by Amorphis 4: Subterranean by In Flames 3: The Sound of Perseverance by Death 2: Projector by Dark Tranquillity 1: Follow The Reaper by Children of Bodom
Love how you putting respect on yngwie malmsteen and putting odyssey on this list. He’s my inspiration and has some of the best metal tunes I’ve heard.
Great picks! I gotta go with: Metallica - And Justice for All Mudvayne - End of All Things to Come Godsmack - Faceless Lamb of God - As the Palaces Burn and Wrath Static-X - Wisconsin Death Trip Mushroomhead - Xx Trivium - Shogun Meshuggah - Nothing and Obzen Everything here for me defines a sound or subgenre and pretty much sums up my musical influences lol
My top 5 album is: 5. Opeth - Deliverence 4. Lamb of God - Ashes of the Wake 3. Megadeth - Rust in Peace 2. Metallica - ...And Justice For All 1. Gojira - The Way of All Flesh (I tried to pick from different bands btw. Here are some honorable mentions: Metallica - Master of Puppets Gojira - Link Gojira - From Mars to Sirius Megadeth - Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?)
Really fun list m8! I don’t necessarily agree but I loved your energy and reasoning! I do have to admit that Rust in Peace did have a huge impact on me as a guitarist in high school so I felt that big time
Totally agrees on Rust in Peace, such an amazing album. First song I heard from the album was Hangar 18 when I played guitar hero 2 way back. I fell in love with that song, I have always been a sucker for guitar solos so you can imagine. And when I got the whole album my mind was blown. I couldn’t believe how freaking good it was, It’s such a masterpiece!
My top 10: 1- Opeth - Ghost Reveries 2- Between the Buried And Me - Colors 3- Dir en Grey - Dum Spiro Spero 4- Metallica - And Justice for All 5- Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle Earth 6- Gojira - Terra Incognita 7- Slipknot - Iowa 8- Meshuggah - Destroy Erase Improve 9- Babymetal - Metal Galaxy (yes, not ironically. I love jpop too, so this one is the best of the two worlds). 10- Bloodbath - Nightmares Made Flash
Great video! Here is my top 10 : 10. Abyss - Unleash the archers 9. We are not your kind - Slipknot 8. King of everything - Jinjer 7. Cowboys from hell - Pantera 6. Rust in peace - Megadeth 5.

Metallica - Ride The Lightning 7. Dream Theater - Images And Words 8. Symphony X - The Divine Wings Of Tragedy 9. Sepultura - Beneath The Remains 10. Shadows Fall - The War Within
Absolutely love that you hail Speed Metal Symphony here. Listened to it for the first time about 20 years ago and fell in love with the raw musical talent and power of it all.
Opeth in one of the few bands I would understand if someone chose any of their albums as their favorite. All of them have their own tone and atmosphere, even if they all differ in quality.
I'm not able to make a top 10 list, but some albums that'll be forever in my heart are: Nightfall in Middle-Earth (Blind Guardian), The Sound of Perseverance (Death), Unsung Heroes (Ensiferum), Hatebreeder (Children of Bodom), Blood on Ice (Bathory), Storm of the Light's Bane (Dissection), Land of the Free (Gamma Ray) and almost every Maiden and A7X album.
Great top 10, there were definitely a few curveballs I didn't see coming! My top 10 would be something like: 10: Megadeth - Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? 9: Vektor - Terminal Redux 8: Pestilence - Consuming Impulse 7: Martyr - Feeding the Abscess 6: Sepultura - Arise 5: Anata - Under a Stone with No Inscription 4: Necrophagist - Epitaph 3: Decapitated - Nihility 2: Spawn of Possession - Noctambulant 1: Coroner - Mental Vortex
My top 10 metal albums of all time: 1. Dream Theater - Metropolis pt2: Scenes from a Memory 2. Metallica - Master of Puppets 3. Gojira - From Mars to Sirius 4. Death - The Sound of Perseverance 5. Angra - Holy Land 6. Judas Priest - Painkiller 7. Megadeth - Peace Sells...But Who's Buying 8. Jason Becker - Perpetual Burn 9. Symphony X - The Divine Wings of Tragedy 10. Yngwie Malmsteen - Rising Force
It’s Really great to see someone talk very positive about A7X Self titled, it seems everyone goes with COE but The white album will always be my favorite. For a lot of reasons that you pointed out. but as well as being the Album that really got me into metal. If it wouldn’t had been for me sitting down and listening to it, I probably wouldn’t be into metal today.
Most people go with Nightmare, really. Especially Save Me. Love the album and song, but they're overrated imo. My fave used to be Avenged Sevenfold until I listened all the way through The Stage, and then I was completely enamoured with it henceforth.
@@someguy7424 "Technically" you are correct. I should have said "Post 1999" as to include Brave New World. I believe that most Iron Maiden fans would agree with you that Brave New World is a better album. This is what I've seen on RU-vid and read in Tier lists.. But I'm with Bradley on this one. Dance of Death just does it for me. I mean Pachendale and Montsequr are amazing!.. But my favorite songs are Gates of Tomorrow and my #1 song on the album is New Frontier.. I just love the energy and major chord progressions.. reminds me a lot of the Seventh Son album which I also loved.. Right after the first chorus in New Frontier, that whole vibe is exactly what I'm talking about.. the major chord progression with these lyrics.. "I want to end my life now but I don't know how, Recycled again, a lifetime of pain, The spawn of a man, The devil has planned" So kickass!! .. it's just happy and creepy at the same time.. gives me chills man!! :0)
It’s so hard to pick my favorite albums but I gotta say my favorite albums in no particular order are Avenged Sevenfold - self titled Slipknot - Iowa Tool - Ænima Metallica- …And Justice for All Bullet For My Valentine - Self Titled Rammstein - self titled Slaughter to Prevail - Kostolom LINKIN PARK - Hybrid Theory Crown the Empire - The Fallout Suicide Silence - The Cleansing Lotta self titled albums lol
@@mr.cancer7270 Tool is pretty soft to call metal, more post-grunge prog. Bullet for my valentine sort of has the aesthetic but not the substsnce Rammstein always seemed very straightforward to be more than hard rock but it's debatable. Linkin park is WAY too pop-oriented, imo, to be metal.
@@shawntrevordaniel bruh have you heard the bullet self titled it’s 100% metalcore and LINKIN PARK (at least the early stuff) is definitely nu metal. I guess I could Rammstein not being metal but I definitely would count Tool as metal
@@shawntrevordaniel gonna have to disagree and say all of those bands are metal, especially the bullet for my Valentine one. Metal doesn’t have to be the heaviest thing ever written to be considered metal lol
Some of my favorites (no order): -Moonglow by Avantasia -Imaginaerium by Nightwish -Brave New World by Iron Maiden -Ride the Lightning by Metallica -TNOBT by Iron Maiden -Fear of the Dark by Iron Maiden -Conspiracy by The Raven Age
10 in no particular order, limited to 1 album per band. Many albums would fluctuate in and out but this morning, this is my 10. Scar Symmetry - Hollographic Universe Pantera - Cowboys from Hell Metallica - ...And Justice for All Dimmu Borgir - Puritanical Euphoric Missanthropia Mors Principium Est - The Unborn Bleed from Within - Fracture Andy Gillion - Neverafter Iron Maiden - Live after Death (Cheating I know) Cacophony - Speed Metal Symphony Ozzy Osbourne - Blizzard of Oz
10) Hypnotize 9) Rust in Peace 8) Cowboys From Hell 7) City of Evil 6) Ride the Lightning 5) Slipknot 4) Iowa 3) Vulgar Display of Power 2) The Sound of Perseverance 1) Ghost Reveries
Finally someone who appreciates Scenes from A Memory! Its easily in my Top-5 of all time, one of the best albums I've ever listened to! I've also spent countless of hours trying to learn the whole thing on guitar! As for Number 1, I was EXPOSED to it back in mid 90s and its still my all time favorite! Im not a huge Megadeth fan myself but this album... MASTERPIECE. Cheers mate! (Btw I like the baglamasi in the background lol)
"Berserker" by Beast in Black is sooo phenomenal. There's just so much to love about it. The song writing is catchy but unique, the production quality is outstanding, there's a wide variety in the songs, the guitar riffs and solos are juicy, it's got this 80s synth blend that no other bands can pull off without being too cheesy, and then of course there's the vocals. I've never listened to a single album from start to finish as much as that one. Recently they released Dark Connection and it's on the same level. Anton Kabanen is literally a genius. Warrior Path's The Mad King is another album that came out recently and ugh I can have this one on repeat all day. The weird thing is none of the tracks stand out as being better than the rest and so any time I listen to it, it's from start to finish. Like their debut album Warrior Path, the guitar riffs are pentatonic as f*ck but the drums are thunderous, the vocals are KILLER, the guitar tone shreds, most songs have a slow opening that builds up, and just the theming is cool. It really succeeds in pulling you into medieval times and doesn't feel like it's trying too hard. And definitely couldn't leave out Unleash The Archers' "Apex". I mean just listen to the song Apex and you'll know why :p Also I love Avenged Sevenfold's self titled album but City of Evil is just more of a favorite for me personally. It's great on the surface but just like you said, once you dig deeper, it gets better. Sidewinder is one song that at first I didn't really care for too much at first but the ending flamenco part straight up injects dopamine into your ears
Here we go, in no particulary order : - Dark Tranquility - The Gallery - Between the buried and me - Colors - Metallica - Master of Puppets - Children of bodom - Something Wild - The black dahlia murder - Nocturnal - Neuraxis - A Passage Into Forlorn - Cryptopsy - None so vile - In Flames - The Jester race - Manowar - Warriors of the world - System of a down - Toxicity
I had Asylon on mine, i'll have to check out "A Passage Into Forlorn". I was strongly considering adding an in flames album too (colony, clayman or the jester race).
Excellent video, and great picks! Honestly, picking a top 10 is just too difficult. What I would state though, is that any Be'lakor album is my nr. 1. Let's see who has my back...
