Dissection deathmetal? No Failures for Gods? GOOBY PLS!

I got to 98 counting down, and stopped. Portal and Hate Eternal should not even be mentioned in the same sentence as 'best death metal.'

no Unleashed, no care.

oh wait. there it is. still no care.

and Shadows in the Deep is better than Where No Life Dwells.

How can they claim these are the best 100 death metal albums of all time when time is infinite?

haha

The Necron will perfect death metal in the year 40,682, rendering this entire list moot. Fuck off presentdays Decibel.

No Aeon? No Amok? At least blackwater park is on there. Phew. List saved.

No the bunny the bear? For shame!

the only album that should be on this list is Massacre of the Majestic 'fallen fortress.'

This list doesn't have any Job For a Cowboy.

NO CARE.

My top 5 death metal albums: 5. Neurosis 'pain of mind' 4. Dead Kennedys 'plastic surgery disasters' 3. Depeche Mode 'people are people' 2. Rolling Stones 'let it bleed' 1. Korn 'got the life'

Is that the dubstep album? If so, SUPPORT!

No Osculum Obscenum or Penetralia?

Loved Formulas Fatal to the Flesh in high school.

In retrospect I'm not sure if I'd even call it a top 100 Morbid Angel album.

i love backwater park, but it's not a death metal album. a few others on the list aren't either. lists are always stupid. no surprise.

Formulas is a good album but Domination should be on the list instead.

Horrible list.

King of All Kings is one of my favorite death metal albums, but they listed their two shittiest albums instead.

top 100 most mediocre death metal album: 1-100: Hate Eternal

those are not the 2 Death albums that I would put in the top 10...

these lists are so silly

ChrisRex just made Hate Eternal his favorite band in all future threads.

That would be fun to really flesh out. Malevolent Creation would be on that list.

10 commandments should be in the top 10

so should bolt thrower in general

Nespithe isn't number 1 so I fail to see the validity here.

Deicide's first album should be top 5 and were's Once Upon the Cross?

only post I agree with in this whole thread.

They shouldnt have mixed melodic death metal in. I don't understand that reasoning.

I don't see Luciferion, WTF

Demilich is one of the most boring bands I've ever heard.

I don't know why Soulside Journey is on this list either and if that was really Spence bad mouthing Demilich he would feel my wrath!

dumb list is dumb lists are dumb

All lists are dumb but it gives us something to bitch about.

because youre a FAGGOT

this.

also: racist.

this is number 1



bennyhillifier

and I'm sorry but anyone who thinks Demilich "Nespithe" is boring is just plain wrong.

another one that should be on this list, but doesn't surprise me at all that it isn't



bennyhillifier

Their envelope wasn't fat enough???

I think Cianide - A Descent into Hell should be on it

and Winter - Into Darkness

and yeah I know its more doom/death, but I am not sure there is any requirements on this list other than being death metal

LOL @ Opeth not once, but twice.

Being sort of entry-level.

Utopia Banished is WAY better than Harmony Corruption.

And Altars of Madness is number one?
LOLRUS IS LOLLING

Mehtopia Banished

Destroy the Opposition > Into the Grave? I lol

they also have a shitty top albums of 2012 list out

40 Gojira – L’Enfant Sauvage
39 Meshuggah – Koloss
38 Agalloch – Faustian Echoes EP
37 The Shrine – Primitive Blast
36 Incantation – Vanquish In Vengeance
35 Samothrace – Reverence To Stone
34 Devin Townsend Project – Epicloud
33 Panopticon – Kentucky
32 Saint Vitus – LILLIE: F-65
31 Mutilation Rites – Empyrean
30 Author & Punisher – Urus Americanus
29 A Life Once Lost – Ecstatic Trance
28 Asphyx – Deathhammer
27 Farsot – Insects
26 Gaza – No Absolute For Human Suffering
25 Inverloch – Dark/Subside
24 Swans – The Seer
23 Horrendous – The Chills
22 Killing Joke – MMXII
21 Early Graves – Red Horse
20 Liberteer – Better To Die On Your Feet Than Live On Your Knees

14 Testament – Dark Roots Of Earth
13 Cattle Decapitation – Monolith Of Inhumanity
12 Blut Aus Nord – 777: Cosmosophy
11 Municipal Waste – The Fatal Feast
10 Pig Destroyer – Book Burner
09 Paradise Lost – Tragic Idol
08 Royal Thunder – CVI
07 Enslaved – Riitiir
06 Neurosis – Honor Found In Decay
05 Pallbearer – Sorrow and Extinction
04 Witchcraft – Legend
03 Evoken – Atra Mors
02 Baroness – Yellow & Green
01 Converge – All We Love We Leave Behind

That list makes me want to throw up. Baroness album is the most boring thing I've heard this year and I like the red and blue albums. I'm glad that Evoken is at least getting some recognition.

Our time could be better spent identifying the albums in the cover of the issue.

i see :

Massacre - From Beyond
Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness
cannibal Corpse - tomb of the mutilated
Bolt Thrower - Warmaster
Entombed - Left Hand Path
Dismember - Like an Ever Flowing Stream
Death Leprosy
Pungent Stench - Been Caught Buttering
Obituary Slowly We Rot
Pestilence - Consuming Impulse
Autopsy - Severed Survival
Autopsy - Mental Funeral
Cryptopsy - None so Vile
Obituary - Cause of Death

I think Vader - De Profundis is in the cover too

http://rateyourmusic.com/list/apocalyptan/...greatest_metal_albums_of_the_decade

#97 is a band called "BATTLE OF MICE"?

They list the albums in the collage in the back of the issue. When I get home I'll post it.

ugh I fucking hate that Dying Fetus album 'destroy the opposition.'

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

THIS PART WAS COOL
