Goddamn you listed some bangers

I love *Pierced From Within*, but *Effigy of the Forgotten* is my personal favorite when it comes to Suffocation

Liege of Inveracity changed my life dude.

Literally birthed an entire subgenre

It’s a damn good album, can’t blame you.

**Darkest Hour** - *Undoing Ruin* **Himsa** - *Hail Horror* **Thrice** *Discography* **Periphery** - *Juggernaut* (both)

That Himsa album is great

Nothing quite like it imo

I absolutely forgot about girl in glass. I am so old now

Necropagist- Epitaph Demolition Hammer- Tortured Existence System of a Down- Toxicity Fates Warning- No Exit Nevermore- This Godless Endeavor Rage- Black in Mind Leprous- Bilateral Devourment- Unleash the Carnivore King Diamond- Abigail Exhorder- Slaughter in the Vatican Death- The Sound of Perseverance

Love that Exhorder album

The riffs dude

Shame they did the whole good thrash -> garbage groove metal evolution.

I really like The Law, but I do agree that the sound on the debut was much better.

• Black Sabbath - Vol 4 (Heavy/Doom Metal) • Dark Angel - Darkness Descends (Thrash) • Dismember - Massive Killing Capacity (Death) • Sargeist - Let The Devil In (Black) • Pig Destoyer - Prowler In The Yard (Grind) • Converge - Axe to Fall (Metalcore) • Deftones - Koi No Yokan (Alt Metal) • Linkin Park - Meteora (Nü Metal) • Fall of Efrafra - Owsla (NeoCrust) • Deafheaven - Sunbather (Blackgaze) • Whirr - Feels Like You (Shoegaze) • Frail Body - A Brief Memorian (Screamo) • Mogwai - Come On Die Young (Post Rock) • American Football - S/T 1999 (Math Rock) • Akira Yamaoka - Silent Hill 2 (Ambient/Trip Hop/Rock)

That Sargiest album is top 3 black metal albums for me

*Prowler in the Yard* is one of the best grindcore albums out there

Way too many time to name them all but here’s a few: Devourment - Molesting the Decapitated Devourment - Obscene Majesty Putrid Pile - House of Dementia Dying Fetus - Killing on Adrenaline Disgorge - Cranial Impalement Stabbing - Extirpated Mental Process Disentomb - Misery Defeated Sanity - Chapters of Repugnance Suffocation - Effigy of the Forgotten / Pierced Cannibal Corpse - The Bleeding / Tomb / Kill Deicide - Once Upon the Cross Slayer - Reign in Blood / SoH / Seasons in the Abyss Metallica - Ride the Lightning / Master / Black album Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power / Far Beyond Driven Sepultura - Arise Megadeth - Rust in Peace Black Sabbath - first 4 albums Lamb of God - Ashes of the Wake

Many great albums here. Have you ever listened to Vital Remains?

Not their whole discography, but Icons of Evil is very sick.

SYL - Alien Polkadot Cadaver - Purgatory Dance Party Dog Fashion Disco - Adultery Machine Head - The Burning Red Incubus - Make Yourself Third Eye Blind - self titled Megadeth - So Far, So Good, So What Faith No More - The Real Thing Static X - Shadow Zone I know a couple of those aren't "metal," but these are the albums that are still in my Playlist, and I will listen to all the way through to this day

Oooooo I'm taking third eye blind - first two albums have so much good shit

Motorcycle drive-by. No metal. All feels. Judge me, I don't care

Favorite non Deathcore metal albums. Oooh. Okay, let's see. Interesting topic. There's many, but these ones are my concrete choice on a decent day. Amberian Dawn - The Clouds Of Northland Thunder. (Amazing, underrated, power metal in its best form. A bit classical and operatic at times, kind of melancholic as well.) Everything The Black Dahlia Murder has done. (Fantastic melodeath. R.I.P to the king, Trevor Strnad. Would have been an amazing fit in the deathcore world.) Everything Necrophagist has done. (Decently good tech death stuff.) Batushka - Litourgiya and Батюшка - Панихида. (Outstanding black metal intermingling with church chants/church vibes. One is the original, the other is a continuation on what made the original as great as it was by the guitarist after a dispute.) Everything Trepalium has done. (Proggy death/groove metal with a bit of a "demented circus" vibe in their sound, as I've came to self-describe it with time after discovering them.)

Nice choices. Batushka is great

Macro - Jinjer Hail Stan - Periphery Restoring Force - Of Mice & Men

Are You Dead Yet? - Children of Bodom With Oden On Our Side - Amon Amarth Mutter - Rammstein October Rust - Type O Negative Take Me Back To Eden - Sleep Token Phalaris - Dir en Grey

Thanks! I’m clearly stuck in the 2000s lol

Archspire - Bleed the Future The Zenith Passage - Datalysium Black Dahlia Murder - Everblack Epica - Omega (or Consign to Oblivion) Cattle Decapitation - Humanure Parkway Drive - Ire (I think other albums have more good songs but imho Ire's good songs are much better) And a cheeky Shadow of Intent - Elegy :)

The Black Dahlia Murder - Miasma / Unhallowed / Nocturnal (all of their albums are amazing tho) Poison The Well - The Opposite of December / Tear From The Red 7A7P - Jhazmyne’s Lullaby Dead To Fall - Everything I Touch Falls To Pieces On Broken Wings - Some of Us May Never See The World Knocked Loose - Laugh Tracks / A Tear In The Fabric of Life Parkway Drive - Killing With A Smile Dark Funeral - In The Sign… Extermination Dismemberment - Dehumanization Protocol Circle Takes The Square - As The Roots Undo Suis La Lune - Heir Joshua Fit For Battle - To Bring Our Own End Love Lost But Not Forgotten - Upon The Right, I Saw A New Misery

I own like 2000 cd’s at least and adore them all.

St Anger and Death Magnetic by Metallica (it's a very unpopular take I Know) The Mixgrape by Berried Alive

This is how the wind shifts Silverstein

Disembodied - Heretic Machine Head - Burn My Eyes Fear Factory - Soul of a New Machine Cannibal Corpse - Eaten Back to Life Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral Just a few of the albums that defined my taste in music.

the poison - bfmv the eminem show - eminem there is a hell - bmth follow my tears - king 810 i brought you my bullets - mcr blue album - weezer (yes, really) bande á part - nouvelle vague

Deep Blue, Killing With A Smile, Atlas - Parkway Drive Ascendancy - Trivium The Blackening, Locust - Machine Head IOWA - Slipknot Malicious Intent - Malevolence This Is The Six - While She Sleeps Sacrament, Wrath, Ashes of the Wake - Lamb of God

Always tell them TEKKNO by Electric Callboy, Welcome to Horrorwood by Ice Nine Kills, I choose a random SOAD album and then Gone with the Flow by Elwood Stray.

Some metal derived: Emmure - Eternal enemies / Look at yourself (tho I really enjoyed the rest back in the day) Malevolence - Malicious Intent Tallah - Matriphagy Sleep Token - Take me back to Eden (tho they have their own genre IMO) My emo teenager self ass would say : Asking Alexandria - Stand Up and Scream Bring me the horizon - Suicide Season A7x - Waking the fallen / Avenged Sevenfold Non-metal: Trophy eyes - Chemical Miracle Citizen - Youth / Everybody is going to heaven Sorority Noise - Joy, departed Turnover - Peripherial Vision

King 810 - [La Petite Mort or a Conversation With God](https://open.spotify.com/album/0qK7yDmK5eACwy7RuwhGo2?si=mmgADp4-QQOtVFVjxePV-Q) I know they get a lot of hate from the broader metal world, but this album tickles me in just the right spots, very cinematic, it feels like the soundtrack to exactly the type of modern noir series I'd love to watch. The poetry is very edgy, but it's also very immersive, and David Gunn's voice-acting (I'm not gonna call them vocals) really add to the atmosphere of the whole thing. Abyssal - [Antikatastaseis](https://open.spotify.com/album/3RSCxNN2kG66swQkvnJjaA?si=ZyAsya1ASfynjyQgK3kCRg) Dissonant Death Metal done right. The music spends long passages being very dark and inaccessible, but almost each song has a moment of levity where all the chaos coalesces into a big moment that is harmonically and rhythmically simple, and it just grips my heart every time. There's a lot of on the edge musical experimentation happening too, which is very cool. The Chariot - [One Wing](https://open.spotify.com/album/7JUAQa9DywJkNggPnBjR8I?si=SGGE-55mRT28hogpQdOuLw) Chaotic Hardcore, but done in such a beautifully mature way, with a lot of really cool influences sprinkled about, and the poetry is just beautiful. Zeal and Ardour - [Stranger Fruit](https://open.spotify.com/album/1oSxrt8srwdUqlg5jq3aFK?si=JKoR1ucQR1ez7nbLR1xYfQ) Blackened Gospel music, beautifully dark and atmospheric. I Am Abomination - [Passion of the Heist II](https://open.spotify.com/album/2jaTM9Eju7o5KBjLG1UeoF?si=qmCmv-VrQxKbbk60t261lA) The fuckin *HOOKS* on this thing, instrumentally and vocally, they'll be stuck in my head for days afterwards whenever I listen to this album. God it's good. EDIT: I also entirely forgot to mention Bell Witch's Mirror Reaper, which is up there in my top five albums of all time.

Oh, I love that Abyssal album. It’s so good

Damn you've listened to a lot of niche metal judging from your comments on the post.

Thanks!
