So you're seeking some good ol' (or new) Thrash Metal and you don't know where to look? Recommendations are running low and you're tired of wandering forums aimlessly, only to find one or two albums that you've probably already heard of?...If so, my friend, then stop searching and welcome to my little sanctuary. Nowadays, most would say that I'm a complete Thrash addict, always in need of it's fix, and they would be right. In order to keep my addiction under control and share it with all of you Thrash Metal maniacs, I've created this monstrous list. You may use my precious creation as an ''Encyclopedia'' of sort, in which I stored what I consider to be the best Thrash releases of all time. From the acclaimed classics like *Exodus - Bonded By Blood* and *Kreator - Pleasure To Kill* to the more hidden jewels like *Believers - Extraction From Mortality* and *Anacrusis - Suffering Hour* or even more recent gems like *Skeletonwitch - Beyond The Permafrost* and *Vektor - Black Future*, I've got it all. I know it might look exhausting & exhaustive but after many user's complaints I decided to add this guide so here are few tricks to browse this monster of a list efficiently.

1. Discharge - Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing

2. Metallica - Kill 'Em All

3. Suicidal Tendencies - Suicidal Tendencies

4. Slayer - Show No Mercy

5. Dr. Know - Plug-In Jesus

All hail Bandcamp. Most of the music you will find here is progressive, avant-garde, or experimental in nature. That being said, there's something here for everyone - just search for your favourite sub-sub-sub-sub-sub...you get it. A large portion of these artists will let you "name the price" for their album(s) - go ahead, you can't resist the temptation to test it out before inevitable purchase.

2. Jun Mitsui - Evacuation

3. Syncatto - Coloratura (EP)

Here's a list that contains only Death Doom and Melodic Death Doom Metal albums, so Gothic (check out my other list for that), Funeral or Sludge Doom etc. are NOT included here (but elements from those subgenres might be present in some of the albums on this list). The reason I made this list is because "death doom" is easily one of my all-time favourite subgenres of music in general. Also, there's not a single similar list on MS to be found (at least to my knowing), hence why I feel people who are into this subgenre can use this list to find out more great music. The list is ordened to my own preference and all these albums are worth at least an 8/10 (the alphabetically ranked albums on the bottom of the list will eventually be ranked among the others, but I haven't listened enough to those to do so). The styles (pure/melodic/atmospheric death doom metal) of the ranked albums are also added so it's easier for people to find what they're looking for. I only add 1 album per band for the sake of variety as well as for keeping the list comprehensible. Lastly, give me suggestions so I can check 'em out and add them to the list (only albums that are featured on MS).

1. Katatonia - Brave Murder Day

2. My Dying Bride - Turn Loose The Swans

3. Saturnus - Paradise Belongs To You

4. Desire - Locus Horrendus - The Night Cries Of A Sullen Soul...

5. Disembowelment - Transcendence Into The Peripheral

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

My top 75 favourite albums of all time (initially it was a top 20 list, and after that top 50). Only 1 album per band. The list is in alphabetical order, so it doesn't represent explicitly which album is my absolute favourite (I don't have one). All albums on this list have earned at least a 9/10 rating. Albums with a star (★) have received a 10/10 rating from me. I've added genres and my favourite songs.

1. After Forever - Decipher

2. Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain

3. Alcest - Souvenirs D'un Autre Monde

4. Amorphis - Tales From The Thousand Lakes

5. Anathema - The Silent Enigma

A lot of bands have great debut albums. Obviously this list is just a fraction of all the great debut albums out there, but it's a start. I'll keep expanding this list continuously, so all suggestions are welcome (granted they are featured on MS). All the albums here are ranked according to genre and then alphabetically. If a certain album belongs to the (in your opinion) wrong genre, then definitely let me know.

1. [Avantgarde]

2. Aarni - Bathos

3. Arcturus - Aspera Hiems Symfonia

4. Diablo Swing Orchestra - The Butcher's Ballroom

5. Sadness - Ames De Marbre

***Currently working through suggestions and adding some spacey non-metal things when they cross my mind***
As a lover of all things sci-fi I find metal to be the most accommodating of genres when it comes to themes of space/aliens. This is a list of those albums which use this theme and/or evoke an overall 'spacey' atmosphere and which I find particularly intriguing and enjoyable. No order for now and a work in progress (recommendations most welcome) Last Updated: 9th April 2014

1. Atoma - Skylight

2. Ayreon - The Universal Migrator Part I: The Dream Sequencer

3. Dol Ammad - Star Tales

4. Star One - Space Metal

5. Pagan's Mind - Enigmatic : Calling

Within the past decade, black metal has seen bands from all over the world incorporating new sounds to the genre and changing its delivery like never before. As great as the classic bands are, BM bands today seem to be branching out in every possible direction. From the beautiful chaos of the French bands, to the developing psychedelic black metal style, and even the Avantgarde craziness of the Meads or work from Mories... all the experimentation is helping to create a bold new identity for the genre's sound. Black metal today could very well be the one area of metal where we see the most experimentation taking place, and I hope the albums in this list will illustrate this growing trend.

1. Necromantia - Crossing The Fiery Path

2. Ved Buens Ende - Written In Waters

3. Woods Of Belial - Deimos XIII

4. Deathspell Omega - Fas - Ite, Maledicti, In Ignem Aeternum

5. Blut Aus Nord - MoRT
