The Best Metal Albums* From A To # (F)

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.Faal - The Clouds Are Burning
2.Façade - The Eternal Dance
3.Facínora - Hell Is Here
4.The Faceless - Autotheism
5.Faceless Burial - Speciation

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

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

The Best Of Dissonant Metal

Metal art of dissonance as I love it.
Rules:
- on album per band, unless the band has very different albums.
-I'm not picky for albums released before 2000.
-I'm not picky for genres that are to some degrees unusual for the dissonance, like sludge metal.

This list is open to suggestions.

1.Abyssal - Novit Enim Dominus Qui Sunt Eius
2.Alkerdeel - Morinde
3.Altars - Paramnesia
4.Amnis Nihili - Christological Escalation
5.Antediluvian - λόγος

Dark, Harrowing, And Ravaging Albums To Ruin Your Day

These obviously won't ruin your day. Chances are if you are into these styles you'll love this selection. No stylistic borders, but I'm limiting myself to one album per band. These aren't necessarily my favorite albums by these bands, but they are the one's I think fit the best.

10ish years later, I find a lot of my descriptions on these really mediocre. Don't judge my shitty writing.

1.Ævangelist - De Masticatione Mortuorum In Tumulis
2.Abruptum - Potestates Apocalypsis
3.Absolutus - Pugnare In Iis Quae Obtinere Non Possis
4.Abyssal - Novit Enim Dominus Qui Sunt Eius
5.Aderlating - Spear Of Gold And Seraphim Bone Pt. 1

Divine Code For The Comfort Of Cowards : Best Of Death Metal In 2011

No word from DM giants like Gorguts, Quo Vadis, Cryptopsy, Viraemia, The Faceless, Augury, Kronos, Martyr.Yet DM unleashed an entire fleet of some mighty monsters,minions,imps and all sort of decibel devils.

This list includes everything from Post-death to Old school death n roll records.I also kinda like slick production a little better, not that i despise the rough one.It depends on the what kind of vibe the album tries to convey.

1.Deceased - Surreal Overdose
2.Fleshgod Apocalypse - Agony
3.Ulcerate - The Destroyers Of All
4.Monumental Torment - Element Of Chaos
5.Baring Teeth - Atrophy

Until Yet A Few More Deaths Do Us Part, here's my 2011 list...

Quite a polarizing year, this one. On one hand, some releases redefined crap itself. On the other hand, we've got quite a few great and awesome albums. All in all, it was a bit disappointing for me, but I won't complain much indeed (unless I compare it with 2007 of course)...

1 to 5: Cream of the crop, by preference order.

1.Lazuli - (4603 Battements)
2.Thy Catafalque - Rengeteg
3.Devin Townsend - Deconstruction
4.Terra Tenebrosa - The Tunnels
5.Unexpect - Fables Of The Sleepless Empire
