MINAS MORGUL!!! I've always enjoyed atmospheric black metal and the lyrically themes of that album ALWAYS brings out my inner childhood since I grew up watch LOTR
Such a beautiful idea! Thanks for sharing a big slice of your life and emotions. At the end of the day, it's always all good. All the Great Music. Cheers.
Chimaira- Self titled, and Chimaira- The Impossibility of Reason. Both got me through all the good and the bad days man. I will never part with those. Cheers bro, love the videos!
Have to say soulfly 3 because it is my introduction to soulfly and Max cavalera and the fact that he took the time to sign it years later is why it means alot to me
Thank you for doing this video and being so candid with why these albums mean so much to you. I've seen some dark times myself man and I'm glad you decided to stick around. And you have alot of people here who feel the same.
I'd love to make a video about this I might later in the future but I don't have a camera or my own place. I guess my albums in my collection that mean the most to me are the ones that had changed how I view music in general. 1. The Eagles - Greatest Hits: My dad used to have a CD of this in his car along with a bunch of other old school rock bands but I have to say that was the first band that got me into music in general with the songs "Hotel California" and "Get Over It". 2. Third Day - Revelation: First heard of this christian contemporary group while watching TV, became my first "favorite band", was the first CD I bought with my own money, and my first concert. 3. Nickelback - Right Reasons: I was day dreaming with listening to classic rock of becoming a rockstar when the lyric "...AND WE ALL JUST WANT TO BE BIG ROCKSTARS, LIVE IN HILLTOP HOUSES DRIVING FIFTEEN CARS..." came up and it basically spelled out the life of a rockstar which hooked me super fucking hard. I have to thank that little shitty band for getting me actually excited to listen to music. 4. Metallica - Ride the Lightning / Master of Puppets / Self-titled: The trademark albums that got me into metal and guitar. 5. Family Force 5 - Business Up Front, Party In the Back: Christian crunkcore group that really got my attention for some reason, absolutely obsessed with them for a bit. First hint of "screaming" in music that I heard of. 6. Disturbed - The Sickness: Listened to "Down with the Sickness" for the first time and it took my breath away, I never knew music could be as punchy as this at the moment 7. The Devil Wears Prada - With Roots Above and Branches Below: First "extreme metal" band with screaming vocals I got into. 8. Green Day - American Idiot: Introduction into punk. 9. Dream Theater - Awake: First progressive metal band I found, followed by an obsession with prog-metal. 10. After the Burial - Rareform: Favorite band to this day, shaped how I view deathcore/metalcore proving that it's not just whiny/br00tal vocals and chugs 11. Darkthrone - Transylvanian Hunger: This was extremely difficult trying to listen to this because I was so heavily into progressive metal but I made myself this because of your channel actually so thanks. First of many black metal bands that would become part of my CD collection and my beginning into becoming obsessed with black metal. 12. Gallowbraid - Ashen Eidolon: Favorite atmospheric black metal album, didn't know metal could be beautiful until I heard Jake Roger's cleans on the song Oak and Aspen.
I accidently flagged you. so sorry my phone is broken so it's real slow at times so I went to cancel it when it popped up and hit report because it popped up as I was trying to cancel. very sorry.
You have a great passion for music. Really like this video! Two albums that mean a lot to me will always be Sabbath Masters of Reality and Maidens Number of the Beast. The two albums that got me into Metal.
Just letting you know, you have helped me find amazing bands. I was a complete metal noob before I started watching your vids. You exposed me to bands like Agoloch and Nails (Rad shirt btw) and many more so thanks
I might do something like this someday. You've introduced me to some of my favorite bands,like Watain and Revenge. I've thought about the albums that helped me through some tough times.
This video was awesome, I watched the entire thing. I always found your knowledge and your opinions on metal extremely inspiring and I owe my taste in metal music to you. Here's my list for metal: Kaos Sacramentum - Scars of Revelation Amon Amarth -Deciever of the Gods Ethereal Shroud - They Became the Falling Ash Ensiferum - One Man Army Ghost - Opus Eponymous Saor - Aura Allegaeon - Elements of the Infinite Burzum - Filosofem Cattle Decapitation - Monolith of Inhumanity Timeghoul - complete discography I love your content and I hope you continue to make videos for a long time. Also cool to see a RU-vidr from upstate :)
The most breathtaking moment I've ever experienced was earlier this year. I was walking through a cemetery listening to Nattferd by Ragnarok. It was snowing heavily and it looked and felt like I was surrounded by a white, swirling void. Off in the distance I saw a herd of deer scamper by. Not only that, every time I visit that cemetery and listen to black, death or folk metal it brings out these feelings of joy and euphoria.
I really enjoyed the video. Very different and very interesting to say the least In Flames "Whoracle" Opeth "Blackwater Park" Spawn of Possession "Incurso" Lynyrd Skynyrd "Second Helping" Swallow The Sun "The morning never came" Iron Maiden "Number of the beast" Those records have done more more for me as a fan, a musician, and a person more than any other albums that I have ever listened to.
Really enjoyed the video, I'd assume that it's a hard type of video to make Thanks for the content, man! Been wanting to start a collection channel for quite some time now, always binge watching your videos Keep up the good work!
Nirvana Nevermind: the first album i really loved and got me into music. Bleach was also the first cd i bought Metallica Ride The Lightning: the album that got me into metal, remember my dad showing me creeping death and just being blown away Watain The Wild Hunt: first proper black album i bought when i was 13, got me into extreme metal Jimmy Eat world Bleed American: gets me through tough times and always cheers me up Green Day American Idiot: first punk album, first proper rock album i remember coming out when i was 4 or 5 Deviated Instinct Sanctuary crawls....: first vinyl i bought At the Gates Slaughter of the Soul: favourite metal album as of right now Emperor In the Nightshade eclipse: favourite black metal album Refused the shape of punk to come: favourite punk album. absolutely amazing and experimental, also one of the best gigs i've ever been to Voivod Dimension Hatross: same as refused but punk, another amazing gig Bring Me The Horizon There is a Hell: not very true meant a lot to me in the darkest times of my life, brings back bad memories however and they have now completely sold out now which is a shame
Honestly, Black Sabbath's Paranoid. My dad gave me his CD (and later his collection of classic rock and a little bit of metal) and then later on when I started collecting vinyl, he bought me Paranoid on vinyl. Also, Sleep's Holy Mountain. I have it on CD but for a while vinyl was stupid expensive but eventually, for my birthday, I got a repressing since it had been repressed. That's a record I never thought I would own.
Great channel Sean !! There were two albums that after I hear them i said to myself :" this is the shit I need " Sepultura-- Schizophrenia Death -- Scream Bloody Gore
One that always comes to mind for me is With Teeth by Nine Inch Nails. It was the first NIN album I ever bought/heard and it really started me down my path to loving music. I had so many good times listening to that album while playing Halo 2 also.
+Doomed Existence This is weird: that was my first NIN album too, funnily enough, and it was around the same time I finally got an Xbox so I have memories of playing it with Halo and Halo 2.
+Richard Owens The funny thing is that I didn't even own an Xbox at the time. I just had friends who were kind enough to lend me theirs so I could play at my house too. But yeah, With Teeth is definitely my top NIN album because of those memories and how much impact the music had on me at that point in time. Sunspots is without a doubt my favorite NIN song.
Fair enough! I'm sure I must've had other games that Christmas (of the year W_T came out), but I can't remember. It actually took me a while to get into that album - because I got an album at random after seeing the video of 'We're In This Together' and being absolutely blown away by it - I think I was disappointed it didn't sound similar. But it'll always have a special place for setting me onto NIN fandom. Yes! Definitely one of the (many) highlights for the album, agreed.
The pieces in my collection that mean the most are by a So.Cal BM band called Conjuror. You said to maybe pick something that helped you during a really shitty time. Their LP came into my life during one of my darkest times in my life. Every aspect of the band from the vox to the guitar/ bass / drums are incredible
I'd do my own video if I owned enough albums. But here's a list and mini-descriptions, and I happen to own three of these. Amon Amarth - Twilight of the Thunder God: This was the album that got me into extreme metal. There's a lot of emotion and energy in the music that really hit me, and I think I first discovered the band back in 2013 on the comments of a Thor: The Dark World trailer. That movie kind of sucked, this album doesn't. I don't listen to the band as much anymore but that album still stands as the first death metal I ever listened to and brought me down a crazy rabbit hole. Favorite song: Live For The Kill Celtic Frost - Monotheist: Quite similar to your thoughts on it, I had never heard an album that dark and menacing before and it totally wowed me on first listen. It's a genuinely FRIGHTENING album and never gets tiring even after listening to black metal for days on end. Very little if anything can top this album in how menacing it is. Favorite song: Synagogue Satanae Epica - Design Your Universe: I have no idea how a band can put some notes together and do something that might seem kind of simple but creative something absolutely beautiful. That's this album, and honestly all the band's work. I never finish this album with dry eyes, it's absolutely heartbreaking from beginning to end. Favorite song: Tides of Time AND Design Your Universe Iron Maiden - The Final Frontier: Far from my favorite Iron Maiden album but it made my last year of high school amazing. I had for so long not seen it as a one of their best and I still prefer a multitude of albums over it but somehow, after giving The Final Frontier a listen sometime back then, something clicked and I was listening to it constantly. SOMETHING about this album just seems to hit me in a personal spot that I still find hard to truly understand, but it is what it is. Favorite song: When the Wild Wind Blows Opeth - Blackwater Park: My favorite album of all time. Everything about this record reeks with a dark, bleak atmosphere which is different from the menace found in Monotheist. There's a more melancholic and subtle side which I absolutely love, and simply a power behind the way Opeth arranges their songs. It's hard to describe and I'm far from a musical expert but never before had I heard misanthropy sound beautiful. Blackwater Park did just that. Favorite song: Bleak
Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden So far, so good, so what - Megadeth The Wall - Pink Floyd Spectrum of Death - Morbid Saint Kill ‘em all - Metallica The Legacy - Testament Far Beyond Driven - Pantera March or Die - Motörhead Countdown to extinction - Megadeth Killers - Iron Maiden Fear of the dark, Somewhere in Time, and Powerslave - Iron Maiden Keeper of the Seven Keys - Helloween Ragnorok, and Scumdogs of the Universe - GWAR Holy Diver, Last in Line, Lock up the Wolves, and Strange Highways - DIO Heaven and Hell - Black Sabbath Ride the lightning, and Master of Puppets - Metallica
Metallica- Master of Puppets Megadeth- Peace Sells... But Who's Buying Mastodon- Crack the Skye The Offspring- Smash The Strokes- Is This It Opeth- Blackwater Park/My Arms Your Hearse
For me I need a new copy but my most treasured album is Nimrod from Green Day. Before 6th grade all I really listened to was 60's music because that's what my dad plays. I heard Nimrod in a friend's family's car and I was hooked. If not for Green Day I would never love bands such as Panopticon.
I had put off music for months mostly due to life matters taking over my life. I felt a disconnect from metal in particular that I could not shake off fully. It may seem unthinkable, but it happened. After having watched this video yesterday, along with reply videos such as from Counterbeat ! and Wyattxhim, I had to go out today and pick up some of the albums mentioned. Helped a lot. Thanks, CountBlagorath!
The album I have in my collection that means the most to me is ''Ascendancy'' by Trivium. Trivium was the band that first got me into metal, and Ascendancy was the very first album I've ever bought. Its gotten me through so much shit. It's amazing.
You know Waldgeflüster? Saw them live a few weeks ago, it was amazing. I was surprised when you hold it in the camera :) important CDs are: - soad toxicity - mayhem dmds - burzum self titled/aske - kpn la chaise dyable - xathrites my last day story and other shit... greetings from germany, count \,,/
Amon Amarth - With Oden on Our SideSatyricon - The Age of NeroSirenia - The 13th FloorThose are my three favourite bands, and the albums that got me into them. Although I'd heard plenty of Metal before them, these are the bands that really spoke to me the most, and had the biggest impact when I heard them for the first time. Also, "Perils of the Deep Blue" by Sirenia is close to my heart because Sirenia toured Australia for the first time on this album, and it was one of the most incredible sets, as far as set-list and sound, I'd ever seen.I also adore the original soundtrack of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Phantom of the Opera", that was the first music I fell in love with when I was about eight or nine years old (I didn't hear any Metal until I was about ten or eleven).Other honourable mentions:Amon Amarth - Versus the WorldSatyricon - Dark Medieval Times, Nemesis Divina, Live at the OperaSirenia - At Sixes and Sevens, The Enigma of Life, The Seventh Life PathLeaves' Eyes - Njord, Meredead, King of KingsEmperor - In the Nightside EclipseImmortal - All Shall FallBurzum - FilosofemNightbringer - Rex Ex Ordine Throni, Death and the Black WorkMarduk - Wormwood, Serpent SermonBolt Thrower - Realm of Chaos, For VictoryBlack Sabbath - ParanoidJudas Priest - Nostradamus, Painkiller, Redeemer of SoulsIron Maiden - Number of the Beast, Piece of MindSlayer - Hell Awaits, Reign in Blood, Seasons in the Abyss South of HeavenMorbid Angel - DominationCradle of Filth - The Principle of Evil made Flesh, Damnation and a Day, Godspeed on the Devil's ThunderRhapsody of Fire - From Chaos to EternityDio - Holy DiverAnaal Nathrakh - In the Constellation of the Black WidowOpeth - Ghost ReveriesKampfar - HeimgangNick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Let Love InBlackmore's Night - The Secret VoyageThe list could seriously go on for years, and I don't want what's written here to discredit albums that I haven't mentioned. Frankly, there a very few albums in my collection that I'd be willing to ever part with. There are albums that I haven't mentioned, that had equal impact as the ones I have.
+CountBlagorath And an album that meant alot to me was the babymetal album from babymetal. I was going through a phase wgere i was obssesed with babymetal. Now its more folk metal bands like heidevolk abd wintersun
Sonata Arctica-Reckoning Night. Pain of Salvation-Perfect Element Symphony X-V-The New Mythology Suite Kamelot-The Black Halo Third Eye Blind-S/T Collective Soul-S/T Offspring-Smash Manticora-8 Deadly Sins Dream Theater-Images and Words
for me, one of my favorite items in my collection is my copy of Zelda reorchestrated: Twilight Symphony. Such a genius and beautiful reorchestration of an already golden soundtrack. other albums that mean a lot: master of puppets - first metal album de mysteriis dom sathanas - favorite album.
+Krilkaazzoor btw, to elaborate further: Twilight Princess is easily one of my favorite games of all time. not to mention Twilight Symphony is limited to 2000 if i remember correctly.
Twilight Princess is absolutely incredible. Excellent music, too. Puppets is my favorite metal record. As far as Mayhem, I think it’s a shame that Dead wasn’t the vocalist for that record; his vocals were best for that band IMO.
So I know this was uploaded a long time ago and will excuse for bringing up something so personal that you talked about. But I'm watching this now and just had to let you know that I found it very moving and emotional you talking about Dröj kvar by Lönndom. Has anyone speaking swedish told you that "Dröj kvar" could be translated along the lines of "Stay a little longer"?
@@CountBlagorath Maybe it's time I sent you my full translation then, which I did just now. Decided to translate "Dröj Kvar" to "linger[,] remain" this time: Linger Remain Linger remain sense and wisdom, like last winter with its austere cold. / Change not place with the world’s devils, / like a sword is changed for a broken shield. / Stay soul inside here. Like the soul stays in hell. / For the man that three times has sworn false, / without the thought on where afterwards he ends up. / Linger remain my heart linger remain. / Yet the blood pulsates through your voidage. / What life gives is in the end what is taken. / Thereafter waits the end, a mystery. / Stay blood here inside. / Keep yourself warm, death lay itself beside. / A feeling grows, everything seems to give way. / My eyes seek the light, hold my sight wide.
There are just so many that have hit me hard at different times in my life, but some noteworthy ones include: Metallica-Kill ‘Em All, Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets Nirvana-Nevermind, In Utero, Bleach Blind Guardian-Nightfall in Middle-Earth and all the others Demons and Wizards-self titled and Touched By the Crimson King The Beatles-entire catalogue Nightwish-Once and Wishmaster Dream Theater-Images and Words, Awake, Scenes From a Memory, Train of Thought, Octavarium Nick Drake-Pink Moon Enya-The Memory of Trees, Shepherd Moons and A Day Without Rain Buckethead-Electric Tears, Population Override, Monsters and Robots, The Cuckoo Clocks of Hell, Bermuda Triangle, Colma, Giant Robot… actually, just all Buckethead Death Cube K-Torn From Black Space, Dreamatorium, Disembodied Tool-Aenima Alice In Chains-Dirt Black Mountain Transmitter-Black Goat of the Woods Nox Arcana-The Darkness is Coming Nocturnal Illusion soundtrack Protest the Hero-Kezia Lightning Hopkins-anything John Denver-Rocky Mountain High and Poems, Prayers and Promises Disturbed-The Sickness SOAD-Toxicity Dimmu Borgir-Enthrone Darkness Triumphant, Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia, Stormblast Eiffel 65-Europop .hack//SIGN OST Any music from The Legend of Zelda series, especially Ocarina of Time Primus-Pork Soda Led Zeppelin-I, II, III, and IV and Houses of the Holy Ayreon-any and all Pink Floyd-The Dark Side of the Moon Burzum-self titled and Det Som Engang Var Mayhem with Dead Black Sabbath-Paranoid Gorillaz-Demon Days Blink 182-Enema of the State The Chick Corea Elektric Band-self titled Iron Maiden-Powerslave Jimi Hendrix Experience-Electric Ladyland Chopin’s Nocturnes …and so many, many more. Great video, and thanks for getting me to explore music I love and for helping me to discover more.
Nice list man, linked it in my last update. Going to think a bit about my favorites. Love that Monotheist, that's on my wantlist for some time now. Maybe next time a video of records that scared you the most.. Can't think of a single album that ever scared me.
In terms of a record I've been looking for definitely Katatonia's "Saw You Drown" on vinyl. My next record to get will be Cocteau Twins' "Four-Calendar Café" but that's rare and goes for a fuckload, but it's also an album that's very special to me because it got me through a really bad time, when my mom was suffering from cancer. Another album from around that time was The Contortionist's "Language". Some others that've just helped me out at different times are Cult of Luna's "Somewhere Along the Highway" (I've got the green vinyl pre-ordered), pretty much everything by Katatonia, My Bloody Valentine both "Loveless" and "mbv", Ved Buens Ende - "Written in Waters", and Dead Can Dance - "Within the Realm of a Dying Sun".
Tiamat - astral sleep and clouds, Paradise lost - Shades of god and gothic, my dying bride - turn loose the swans, cemetary - godless beauty, varathrone - his majesty at the swamp, bolt thrower - ivth crusade, deicide -st, candlemass tales of creation, i could go on for ages :) nice list mate!
For me, my most meaningful albums: Forgotten Woods - The curse of Mankind Lord Belial - Enter the moonlight gate Nokturnal Mortum - Lunar Poetry YGG and Shining - I WDDC
I have some: Woods of Ypres: Woods III Album(helped me trough my darkest moments of life, the vocals of David are so touching and comforting that it makes you feel that you are not alone, David died and i cried my heart out when this happened, he could have been a legend by now.) I really want everyone to check these guys out. Meshuggah Obzen (I didn't understand a lot of things about human behavior, and society, this masterpiece expanded my view on things a lot.) Gojira: Terra Incognita (I really wanted this album for a long time, but i couldn't afford to buy it for 200 euros. But then i found it for 50 euros, so took my shot. and am currently a proud owner of this rare album.) Agalloch: The Mantle (just a beautiful album where i can fly trough endlessly) Emperor: Wrath of the Titan (It helped me to fight back on things when surroundings around me got difficult.) Devin Townsend Project: Deconstruction (a album that boosts my creative vision on things and as a artist this is a masterpiece i very much like because of the humor, yet critical approach on things.) Frontline assembly: Echogenetic (one of the few electronic sounding albums i like due to it's hollow atmosphere and static lyrics) Woodkid: The Golden Age (the album describes me as a person, and a lot of troubles i had in my life, a real pleasant masterpiece to listen to) Primus: Green Naugahyde (the album is funny cool, and the bass guitar is creatively the main instrument in this album, it's so funny weird and interesting to listen to.) Honorable Mentions: Triptykon - Melana Chasmata Heaven shall Burn - Iconoclast: Final resistance Teseract - Polaris
Man that's a tough question to answer...... Mine would have to be my CD of Woods V. No matter what mood I'm in, I can put that album on and just be whisked off on David's voice. A close second would have to be Thrawsunblat's Canada 2010. I got the repress on vinyl and it has to be my favourite thing I've ever ordered. *EDIT* The only Vinyl version of the album on discogs is around 400 bucks for me. I'm heartbroken that I can't have it.
Wow, a video response! Too bad it doesn't exist anywhere. I'll list these albums here anyway though. Jane Doe by Converge, Crack the Skye, Around the Fur and Saturday Night Wrist by Deftones, The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails, Fabulous Muscles and Nina by Xiu Xiu, A Quick Fix of Melancholy by Ulver, Silent Alarm by Bloc Party, Smile by Boris, The Clash by The Clash, Attack on Memory by Cloud Nothings, Alive 2007 by Daft Punk, Bonito Generation by Kero Kero Bonito, Feelin Kinda Free by the Drones, This Year's Model, Get Happy, and Armed Forces by Elvis Costello and the Attractions, Singles Going Steady by the Buzzcocks, From Afar by Ensiferum, New Boots and Panties by Ian Dury and the Blockhead, Brutalism by Idles, The Creek Drank the Cradle and Our Endless Numbered Days by Iron and Wine, Oceanic by Isis, Thick as a Brick by Jethro Tull, Killing Joke by Killing Joke (my favorite industrial/industrial metal album ever), Arthur (Or The Decline And Fall Of The British Empire) by the Kinks, Bravado by Kirin J.

I could go on for hours about albums that have changed my perspective on music or life or albums that mean a lot to me but I'll just leave this.
Tough one- I know this seems to focus more on BM but don’t care what anyone says- Danzig 4!!!! Every song on that stirs up a whirlwind of memories. Transilvan Hunger, Hell Awaits, any all Burzum less prison midi stuff, and Mutiilation Vampires of Black Imperial Blood and Remains of a Ruined Dead Cursed Soul- Cliche I know. Modern day- Drowning the light- EVERYTHING especially Oceans of eternity.
Most people would laugh at this but the most important album i have is the Dethalbum 1 from dethklok because it was my intro to death metal but it also mainly inspired to pick up the guitar and want to play like Brendon Small does. I took one lesson on the guitar but then i just gave up at that point Another one is World Painted blood by slayer. I always loved slayer but i kind of forgot about them until i was gonna go see them in concert in 2011. I heard the riff after the chorus of the title track and ended up deciding to learn the whole song. Since then, i have been playing guitar and writing my own music. I am super thankful that i got back into slayer otherwise i probably would not be playing guitar.
slipknot - all hope is gone. my entry album into the metal genre. funny story, kids at my high school introduced me to metal. best part, it was a christian high school.
Ozzy Osbourne-Diary of a Madman on the the first vinyl press: My favorite album on its original press Hell-Human Remains clear 3xLP: Must have for a while that was given for a gift Ulver-Kveldssanger German press CD: Blind buy that ended up going really well for me Big Fish cast recording: Great memories of doing this show
Awesome question! I would have to go with these as my most important to me: Windir - 1184 and Arntor Opeth - Blackwater Park (album that got me into the more extreme) Emperor - In The Nightside Eclipse (started my love of black metal). Darkspace - 1 - 4. Alice In Chains - Dirt I always puts those albums/bands on when I need something to lift my spirit.
Agalloch - Pale folklore Katatonia - Discouraged Ones Death - Sound of Perseverance Nightwish - Once Within temptation - Mother Earth the Gathering - How to measure a planet? Woods of Ypres - Pursult of the sun and Allure of the Earth Type O negative - Bloody Kisses Paradise lost - One Second Nailbomb - Point Blank
+telephone bear Gives me chills every time I hear that line. Not gonna lie, the first time I listened that song while reading the lyrics, I was moved to tears.
CountBlagorath it's not often a lyric can move you on an almost religious level. Flawless album and I think the record that turned me onto harsh vocals at all, opening the door to a load of metal I was previously put off by.
Two albums I own that mean a lot to me are Die Without Hope by Carnifex and Holy War by Thy Art is Murder. Not only because I love the music, but listening to those albums happened to really help me through some shit that happened during Christmas time. So those are two albums I'm definitely never getting rid of (I can't see myself getting rid of any of the albums I own, but still).
Hey count, I haven't watched you in a while but I was curious about Wintersun. I remember you saying in a past video that Wintersun helped you through troubled times.
The first Celtic Frost song I heard was Ground as well. I didn't really understand it at first, and kind of forgot about CF, but now it is definitely one of my favourite albums ever, and Celtic Frost is most likely my favourite band. I'm definitely gonna do a video like this.
my most important album to me is an absolutely terrible album called "outta this world" by JLS, my aunt gave it to me as a christmas present and a few years later she passed away from cancer. so it means a lot but i hate it haha
My record collection isn't very big at the moment (only 45 albums), but the other day I bought the most valuable album currently in it, and that is the Standard Edition of the 20th Anniversary Remastered Vinyl Pressing of Garbage's self-titled masterpiece from 1995. This came out in October and was a highly anticipated release because their work wasn't available on vinyl prior to this. When I saw it at Kops Records (a small chain of Vinyl retailers in Toronto) the other day, I was twice shocked by the fact that A) I even found a copy in a store, and B) that said copy was only 50$. I don't know how many copies were released but they sold out quickly because of the high demand and copies currently listed on Discogs and Ebay are 170$ - 350$ dollars. It's a perfect album, imo. The personal significance of this record though is that the song 'Queer' was the soundtrack to my first kiss and the first time I made out with a girl, which happened when I was 15 or 16. It's got a snappy beat, but it's a great striptease song, cause the instrumentation is a little sleazy and Shirley Manson delivers a slightly erotic vocal performance. It suited the moment perfectly (cause the girl I made out with was smoking hot and she gave me a strip before we made out, so that's how I know haha). Overall, the album was the soundtrack to a sexy time in my life when I was beginning to experiment with life and love (and when thongs were becoming all the rage among girls for the first time hahah).
I don't make videos but I will make a list here: Iron Maiden-Killers - first album I ever bought... The Misfits-Earth AD - bought it because of the album cover, found out the music matched it perfectly. Darkthrone soulside Journey - my first death metal album..still love it to this day, probably my top 5... Malevolent Creation - Retribution - on the eve of apocalypse, best death metal song EVER.. Death-Sound of Perseverance, bought it the day Chuck died.. end of story, the best... Emporer - In the nightside eclipse, the album that got me into black metal... Massacre - From Beyond, the opening track should have been on the soundtrack "The Gate" watch it...you'll see what I mean.
