The Best Metal Albums* From A To # (U-V)

This list is meant to be an extensive, but by no means exhaustive, collection of the greatest (modern) metal albums and eps. Running the gamut from avant-garde to trve norweigan black metal. *As someone who is young in age, my tastes tend to revolve around the period of the 80s to the present.* Although certain metal albums from before will certainly be featured, the period of the 60s-70s will be under-represented. I refer you to this excellent list to gain a better appreciation for some of the best metal from that period: https://rateyourmusic.com/list/freis/martin_popoffs_the_top_500_heavy_metal_albums_of_all_time/

1.Uada - Djinn
2.Uaral - Sounds Of Pain
3.Ufomammut - Eve
4.Úir - Óenach Tailten
5.Ulcerate - The Destroyers Of All

JokeR's Top Hunnid From 2010 - 2019

To commemorate the top 100 albums of 2010 - 2019 I thought I would follow suit and make a list of my own. This has been a very challenging task to say the least. As I reflected on the releases from the last 10 years, it became increasingly difficult to settle on album rankings. In the interest of getting my top 100 published I am potentially releasing the list a little prematurely. The top 30 or so are quite firm. I don't anticipate much change in those albums, however, there could be some mobility throughout the rest of the list.

1.Ulcerate - The Destroyers Of All
2.Esoteric - A Pyrrhic Existence
3.Un - Sentiment
4.Mournful Congregation - The Incubus Of Karma
5.Ulcerate - Shrines Of Paralysis

You Know It's Technically 2011-2020, Right?

To explain the title, there is no year 0, regardless of what Ghost may tell you. Thus, the first decade was years 1-10, instead of 0-9. So then it would be 11-20, and so on. But I know that would imply that Paranoid is a 60s album, which we cannot have.

So now that all the cool kids are doing it, here is my top 100 albums of the "decade", most of it might be a bit too mainsteam, most of it you'll find on others' lists, and so on. Restricted to one album per artist/band (including collabs), ordered alphabetically.

1.Abyssal - Antikatastaseis
2.Agalloch - The Serpent & The Sphere
3.Akhlys - The Dreaming I
4.Alcest - Écailles De Lune
5.Altar Of Plagues - Teethed Glory & Injury

Best Of 2010-2020 By Mz

The best of 2010-2019. At the end it tuned out to be less diverse than what I thought it would be in terms of musical genres, with mostly black and death metal record filling the spots.
Recommendations more than welcomed.

1.Sutcliffe Jugend - Blue Rabbit
2.Emptiness - Nothing But The Whole
3.Ulcerate - The Destroyers Of All
4.Schammasch - Contradiction
5.Lorn - Subconscious Metamorphosis

Simple ranking of all my favorite albums. Favorite song from the album in the notes. Sure to change/expand as I learn and explore more within metal.
2023: This was starting to get too long so I split it into separate lists for albums at each ranking 10 to 7. This list will no longer be updated.

Bandcamp Blowout: Best Albums For Around $5 Or Less

There are a lot of great albums out there, but that doesn't mean A) your wallet has to suffer or B) you need to resort to stealing. This list is here to both provide you with some excellent music for cheap and also help these bands make a few bucks in the process. If you are particularly into black (mostly of the atmospheric variety), sludge, and/or doom; you might be best suited just going through the collection related to my site, Metaltrenches.com, here or THIS GUY'S COLLECTION.

1.Torrential Downpour - Truth Knowledge Vision
2.The Sixth Of November - Ashes
3.Corpse Light - Without Form
4.Ketha - #!%16.7

MZ's Favorite Death Metal Albums

My favarite death metal records. I avoided making this list for long because
a) I've suggested many of these albums on the lists of the others
b) many of them appear on my other lists
c) my knowledge on OSDM is extremely shallow
In the other words, this is a shit list and I admit it. Any help for improvement in the form of suggestions is appreciated.

1.!T.O.O.H.! - Pod Vládou Biče (Under The Reign Of The Whip)
2.Abyssal - Novit Enim Dominus Qui Sunt Eius
3.Adversarial - Death, Endless Nothing And The Black Knife Of Nihilism
4.Altars - Paramnesia
5.Antediluvian - λόγος

Chobo's Choices For Top 25 Favourite Albums

Here is a list of my favourite albums of all time (that are on Metalstorm). I have limited it to one album per band. The albums are ordered in alphabetical order. The list is subject to change over time, but nearly all albums on here are set in stone and have been extremely influential on my musical tastes. If you think you have an album that could squeak its way onto this list, by all means suggest away.

1.Agalloch - The Mantle
2.Ahab - The Divinity Of Oceans
3.Amon Amarth - Versus The World
4.Cult Of Luna - Somewhere Along The Highway
5.Death - Symbolic

mz's Favs

These are the albums which I like the most. Since I have not listened to a lot of albums( let's say, max 400 for me), it would be pretentious to make a list of my 100 favorite albums, so I keep this list short.

1.Tool - Lateralus
2.Esoteric - The Maniacal Vale
3.Lurker Of Chalice - Lurker Of Chalice
4.Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven
5.Blut Aus Nord - The Work Which Transforms God
