If it were up to me, these would be in no specific order.

I have serious issues with no Dying Fetus or Krisiun. No Grave!? Lack of Dismember!!! No love on either of the first two Goratory albums, along with Eternal Suffering and Scattered Remnants. No Mortal Decay, fuck that! DISINCARNATE YOU FUCKING COCKSUCKERS. Broken Hope and Demilich should have been at least in the top 15.
I'm done.

agree with it or not...that's an awesome list of albums

No to so much of this.
1) Autopsy appears but no Severed Survival
2) Entombed is completely absent. Left Hand Path should be in the top 20 at least.
3) Suffocation does not belong in the top 2, let alone in both.

Ehhhhhh. Ever top anything list I've ever read has bummed me out.

Necroticism should have been in the top 10 at least. I also agree that no Dismember album is a disgrace. Also, what is Disgorge doing so high on the list?

I always just read these things in no specific order...such a ridiculous thing to do...rank music...something entirely based on personal opinions

48. Dismember - “Like An Everflowing Stream”

I think only about 4 of these CDs should have made the list. The rest are completely bogus.

ZJD said:

NUMBER 48!??!!

when it comes to Disgorge, Cranial Impalement is all I fucking need.

morbid angel not in the top 10, failed.
athiest piece of time? failed.

unless I just didn't see it, im driving
no possessed? failed.
lot of really good cds though.

3 Gorguts albums in the top 20 is something I definately agree with.

total lack of anything James Murphy on there too.

Totally incomplete list.

ENTOMBED, CARNAGE, UNLEASHED, GRAVE, DEMIGOD?!

effigy of the forgotten definetly deserves to be in the top ten, one of my all time favorite albums period. Everyone is so all about pierced, dont get me wrong its a great record but effigy was their peak. Scattered remnants, what a great band that was too. I def agree with left hand path, and broken hope. how the fuck does broken hope not make this list?

erosion of sanity is soooo fucking good
.

50. Broken Hope - “Loathing“

This should have been a top 100 list with no specific order.

Lists are dumb.

Where the fuck is EDGE OF SANITY?!

this list isn't really meant to be taken seriously.

AUTOPSY_666 said:

i was wondering that too

what a shitty list. i mean the bands are good, but that is an uneducated "death metal lite" list.

How in the Christing FUCK can you even RATIONALIZE placing the vocoder-laced faggotry of Focus (please refer to the demos for the hetero versions of these songs) ahead of Blessed Are The Sick AND Necroticism??? UGH! Jewish liberal media:1 - Non-ZOG-encumbered death metal community: 0

i like how they have something from the chasm in there. oh, wait...

and amon amarth may be melodic/gay, but i dunno. i think they should be in there.

I never take these kind of lists seriously because it's all opinion-based.

Im surprised no Decapitated, Winds of creation remains one of the most amazing albums, especially considering those guys were like 15 yrs old when they released it

winds of creation is a must bro! agreed!!

mortalis nli said:

wait what? how the hell is anything Amon Amarth did gay?

Yeti said:

twas sarcasm, making fun of the ALL BR00TAL ALL SLAM ALL THE TIME death metal. not that i don't enjoy me some defeated sanity, but i like other stuff, too.

despise the sun? WTF! no way should that be in there.

brian_dc said:

I agree. Although it still pisses me off that not enough people think that Broken Hope's "Loathing" is the single greatest death metal release of all fucking time.

I'd put Rebaelliun's Annhilation on that list.

It would help if I could spell Annihilation

WHITE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW DEATH METAL NO MORE

I TOOK OUT THE CRAP AND LEFT THE BEST

BLACK POWER

You forgot to keep in Broken Hope. You are wrong at life.

And removing LYKATHEA AFLAME and WORMED is beyond stupid.

AUTOPSY_666 said:

Truth.

and you can't leave obituary in there but take out malevolent creation,

MarkFuckingRichards said:

DID YOU KNOW BROKEN HOPE USED TO BE AN R&B BAND?

THAT'S WHEN THEY WERE GOOD
SOME SWINGING GROOVES

NOW THEY'RE A MALEVOLENT CREATION IMITATOR
A FAKERY OF A FAILURE?

WTF

BH > MC

NIGGA PLEASE

MC AT LEAST WAS FRESH
BH ARE PLAYA HATING CLONES

Broken Hope bring the funk.

YES BUT NOT WELL

when I clicked this, I thought "nigger's going to comment on the drummer of suffo" he didn't. fail.

BROTHA, I SAW NO NEED, BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW WHO HAS THE SUPERIOR RHYTHMIC PERCUSSION SKILLS OF ALL THE RACES

GOOD THEY GOT A WHITE BOY ON THE VOCALS THOUGH, THAT SHIT HURTS MY THROAT JUST TO THINK ABOUT

BUT I APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERN AND WILL TRY NOT TO LET YOU DOWN. THIS IS MY FAVORITE INTERNET FORUM

BLACK POWER

That list makes me want to punch the screen. Suffocation is no where near the best death metal band. I could go on and on on how many should be there and aren't.

Lykathea Aflame is on it, which amazes me. Highly underrated band, and ruled when they were called Apalling Spawn as well.

Some bands are way to recent (including above mentioned band) to be on it. Spawn of Possession? Are you fucking kidding me? Origin? Wormed??? what the shit are they thinking?

c.dead said:

Well it's a "favorite album" list, not a "greatests album" list.

the original thread never said "GREATEST" anywhere on it. It was for fun and just everyone's "FAVORITE" albums, that's it. too many people took it way too seriously.

I really don't think that is true. I think what is true is that this is a very good conversation provoking topic.

BornSoVile said:

These are the only ones on the list I feel are worth mentioning - I could add a couple more that weren't listed.

Also:
BornSoVile said:

#35: Obituary "Cause of Death" James Murphy played on that one.


They listed every Death album except Scream Bloody Gore and Spiritual Healing....why SBG wasn't included AT ALL is beyond me.

Yeah, but James has done alot of other shit other than Obituary....Disincarnate niggah!
and Spiritual Healing is the heaviest most nasty Death album ever!

cynic death metal please

1. it was a fucking favorites list, for our fucking forum. We aren't venerating the classics here, it's what we jam the most.

And we decided to include Cynic. So shut up, make your own list to show how "true" you guys are.

siege said:

THANK YOU

people are retarded

ZJD said:

i agree left hand path is definately one of the best death metal albums ever and every autopsy album should be on there and the bleeding and butchered at birth are better then tomb of the mutilated

Exclusion of Atrocity's Hallucinations? That should have made the list considering how influential it is.

I think they should have kept it as one album per band up there, not a bunch of bands with different albums on the top 50. Plus, The Bleeding sucks in my opinion.

c.dead said:

ah yes, we forgot the number one requirement on this list...NO BANDS UNDER 10 YEARS OF AGE ALLOWED ON TEH LIST LOLZ))))RERTSDFG BECAUSE YOU AER NOT TEH TR)) IF ARE NOT OVAER 40 YEARS OF TEH AGE

siege said:

That's a noble point and a definate mistake on my behalf. Sorry.
Still though, what's the world coming too????? You guys are soft!!

this was also set up so your chose you own top 10 favorite DM albums to listen too. thats why there's so many artist repeats

Anyone who reads SMN would except a lot of modern tech bands to be on the top of the list because it's most a MODERN death metal forum. I'm surprised Psalms wasn't number 1 haha.
