The lack of BTBAM in this thread is appalling. Parallax II anyone?-Tish-

I don't think there are even 10 metal bands that I like anymore, but BTBAM is my favorite.

Others being Death and Slayer.

1. Black Sabbath
2. Mastodon

....I haven't really listened to much metal

Sterile wankfest with the regurgitated mesh of any musical element that they come across. Their simplistic origins was far superior. Now go listen to Converge.

Going for the easy option and posting everything again since I rarely exclusively stick with a few favourites at a time.

The lack of BTBAM in this thread is appalling. Parallax II anyone?-Tish-

It's not even that he growls, cause i listen to a lot of bands with growls, but the dude just sounds so f*cking funny, it literally sounds like he's burping his way through the songs.

I like you. Minus Portal and post-Incorrigible Bigotry Arghoslent that's a good list. Mine are similar enough that I don't want to look through my library to pick favorites. :PSaturos3091

I can understand Portal, as I'm selective with their work. I think they can be incredible at times (ex. the outro to Seepia, Antiquate/Endmills). As for Arghoslent, the biggest gripe I have with Hornets of the Pogrom is that it lacks the punchy, crisp sound of Incorrigible. It becomes too muddy at it's own detriment. The Martial Barrage split is much more worthy.

With Blut Aus Nord, I was anticipating this after their last release (which wasn't bad, but they were pushing it). I can't even get myself to finish Cosmosophy. I don't care that they wish to move onto other genres, but this is base by any standards.

You are a gentlemen. As for my own top 10, lets see how we go

freek666

Thank you both:).

Burzum

Wolves In The Throne Room

Mayhem

Darkthrone

Sleep

Om

Bathory

Deathspell Omega

Agalloch

the list goes on. My favorite metal genres are black, doom, stoner, thrash, and some death metal like Disma and Bolt Thrower.

Keep seeing the new Om album around, worth checking?
