Hey guys! I was just really wondering what you metalhead fapstronauts' favourite metal albums are! Personally, right now I'd go with The Years Of Decay by Overkill (ehem, my profile picture...). What about you?
I more focus on individual songs rather then the whole album, but anyway at the moment I really like Avatar - Hail the Apocalypse.
I have to go with Trivium. Shogun is probably still my overall favourite from them (only just). However, their latest album The Sin and the Sentence, is absolutely immense. So that one is my very recent favourite.
I hardly listen to metal anymore, but my favorite one was pretty much The Maniacal Vale by Esoteric (doom metal).
Nice, some doom metal! I actually really love Electric Wizard's "Come my Fanatics". I could listen to that album anyday.
Cool! I never really got into Electric Wizard except for the song "Supercoven", but listened to some similar bands I'd say. Esoteric is more death/funeral doom style. But good to see someone liking some doom here
For me it will always be Dream Theater Metropolis Part 2: Scenes from a Memory - heard it when I was young and it blew my mind. Never knew music could sound like that. These days though, I listen to a lot more djent stuff and a few albums by Tesseract and Meshuggah get a lot more play through than anything else. I find them both quite cathartic to listen to, so there's almost a functional aspect to my enjoyment! Tesseract - Altered State and their lastest Sonder are siiiick Meshuggah - Catch 33 and Nothing are grand
I've always been a sucker for power metal, maybe more when I was young, but the music you grew up with stays with you. It's hard to pick out any specific album. There's been so many I've been addicted to over the years.
