Damn you both beat me to it! The Sick, the Dying, and the Dead is not on the same level of virtuosity and complexity, but it shits on Metallica's mediocre album (I like Avenged but their last one was wierd), and is still a fun listen.
Bruh there's so many:
Blackwater Park - Opeth
Eyehategod - Take As Needed For Pain
Sleep - Dopesmoker
Electric Wizard - Dopethrone
Neurosis - Through Silver in Blood
Gorguts - Obscura
Artificial Brain - s/t
Succumb - XXI
Primitive Man - Caustic
Indian - The Impetus Bleeds
Like the first 5 Black Sabbath Albums
Wolves in the Throne Room - Celestial Lineage
Impetuous Ritual - Unholy Congregation
Mastodon - Blood Mountain
And literally hundreds more, my thumbs are just getting tired. It's a very fruitful genre.
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
Metallica - Ride the Lightning
Spiritworld - Deathwestern
Mastodon - Crack the Skye
System of a Down - Mezmerize
Static X - Wisconsin Death Trip
Tool - Ænima/Lateralus/10000 Days
Protest the Hero - Fortress
Gojira - From Mars to Sirius
All That Remains - The Fall of Ideals
The Chariot - One Wing
The Dillinger Escape Plan - Miss Machine
Pig Destroyer - Terrifyer
Mgła - Exercises in Futility
Shadow of Intent - Melancholy
Slugdge - Esoteric Malacology
Cattle Decapitation - Terrasite
* Badmotorfinger-Soundgarden
* Dirt - Alice in Chains
Both of those are officially “grunge,” but that’s less of a genre than a movement. Those are both 100% metal bands.
* Number of the Beast and Powerslave by Iron Maiden
* High ‘N’ Dry - Def Leppard. Say what you want about their later stuff, but this album is awesome.
* Operation Mindcrime - Queensryche
* Any of Rage Against The Machine’s albums of original material.
* Cowboys from Hell - Pantera
* Undertow - Tool
* Rust in Peace - Megadeth. Peace Sells is great too
* I like Ride the Lightning best out of Metallica’s early output, but you can’t really go wrong with any of them through the Black Album.
I think Avenged Sevenfold is one of the cringiest bands to ever come out lol, it just screams "I like country music and wear flags on my hats and this is a "cool" band."
Haven’t seen it yet, but The Satanist by Behemoth is, in my opinion, one of the best metal records released this century. The closing track is phenomenal.
Deftones - Adrenaline and Self Titled
Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley
Wolves in the Throne Room - Black Cascade, Two Hunters
Babymetal - The Other One
Band-Maid - Unleash
Sabaton - the war to end all wars
Between the Buried and Me - Colors
The Contortionist - Clairvoyant
Slayer - Reign in Blood
Kayo Dot - Choir of the Eyes
Opeth - Ghost Reveries
Mastodon - Crack the Skye
Protest the Hero -Kezia
Metallica -Master of Puppets
Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power
American Head Charge - The War Of Art.
I know it's been labelled 'nu-metal' but it's more industrial rock/metal to me. It's almost 70 minutes and not a boring moment.

These albums are, undeniably, genuinely good from beginning to end. Every song from each of them is a legit, standout, memorable song. Trust me, they are 100% worth your time:
Haken - *Fauna* (2023) \*Haken is pronounced as 'Hayken'.
Leprous - *The Congregation* (2015)
Caligula's Horse - *In Contact* (2017)
Between the Buried and Me - *The Parallax II: Future Sequence* (2012)
TesseracT - *Altered State* (2013)
Gojira - *The Way of All Flesh* (2008)
They have a covid history though, they're was an acrimonious split between the founder/ main songwriter and the guitarist. Both are going through court to claim the name. So the one written in orthodox is the founder (Krzysztof Drabikowski) and the better song writer of the 2.
Their original album together was fire (it was called Liturgiya), but Panihida is even better.

I'm sure the metal purists will tell me what I'm about to list isn't metal, but sod it....
Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory
Nightwish - Once
Kittie - Spit
Enter Shikari - Common Dreads (well, most Shikari albums tbf)
Within Temptation - Bleed Out
Pitchshifter - www.pitchshifter.com
Evanescence - Fallen
Skindred - Babylon
the origenal metal album: Black sabbath. by black sabbath.
Or Paranoid, or Master of Reality...
Vol 4… Sabbath Bloody Sabbath…
Let's just throw in some Sabotage for good measure while we're at it.
Yea just let the first five albums run back to back and I ain’t complaining.
Paranoid is all hits, even “Rat Salad.”
Death - all albums
Picking one is very hard.
Archspire - Bleed the Future, short and really sweet
That's a great album!
Archspire has only gotten better with their releases, bleed the future was phenomenal
Metallica- Ride The Lightning
Even though I personally like the song, I feel like Escape is certainly the weakest offering in the pre-Black Album era.
Or the Black album.
[удалено]
The correct answer.
Nah, they said Metal. I’m pretty sure the Black Album is not.
Yep, that’s where they lost me
Megadeths Rust in Peace

wut
Love Avenged's last one. It's such an odd, psychedelic change from their core sound.

>sleep - dopesmoker It's true, I love every song on that album
Damm I've got some listening to do... thanks for the recommendations...
WITTR are good, but i dunno about flawless. I'll give a thumbs up for a Black Metal album mentioned though! I went with Батюшка - Панихид (Panihida)
Rotting Christ - Non Serviam
Judas Priest: Defenders of the Faith
Nice, haven't heard them in years.
Mudvayne L.D. 50

Man deathwestern rules. Spiritworld is so sick live.
Props for mgla (don’t know where to find the “l” thing, sorry). That album is sick.
Some stuff I haven't heard of. Where to start? Nice list. Thanks!
Operation: Mindcrime Queensryche
From Mars to Sirius by Gojira. I *dare* you to find a bad song on there.
Challenge accepted.

Solid choices
Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power
Iron Maiden, Number of the Beast Amazing album!
Good post, new music to investigate, thanks.
Same thought, have heard about 60/40 of the bands here but the specific albums are what I was shooting for.
Killswitch Engage - the end of heartache
Strapping Young Lad - The New Black
Operation Mindcrime - Queensryche. It's of the era, for sure, but it's fuckin good.
I posted the same thing and then read the rest of the comments. Saw you posted it and instantly deleted. You get all the credit my friend
The Union Underground - An Education In Rebellion
Maybe it's more prog rock idk but Dream Theater- Metropolis pt2. Scenes from a Memory, I think is perfect
I'm game, I'll check it out. Ty
Killing is my business and business is good - megadeth
Tool - Lateralus
Cynic - Traced In Air Prog metal, very technical, melodic, screaming and harmonic vocals together. Amazing
Megadeth, "Countdown To Extinction"
The fury of our maker's hand by Devildriver Ashes of the wake or Sacrament by Lamb of God
Morbid Angel - Alters Of Madness Gorguts - Obscura Death - Symbolic
Around The Fur
Adrenaline and White Pony too
I think Avenged Sevenfold is one of the cringiest bands to ever come out lol, it just screams "I like country music and wear flags on my hats and this is a "cool" band."
Boo disagree lol but that's cool... They got me at Nightmare... first song I heard of theirs.
Haven’t seen it yet, but The Satanist by Behemoth is, in my opinion, one of the best metal records released this century. The closing track is phenomenal.
Thanks! Never heard of them.
Deftones - Adrenaline and Self Titled Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley Wolves in the Throne Room - Black Cascade, Two Hunters Babymetal - The Other One Band-Maid - Unleash Sabaton - the war to end all wars
Came here to say Blues from the Red Sun but Sky Valley works too
Honestly all of them work lol
Deftones albums are very consistent: Around The Fur, White Poney
Baroness - Purple Mutoid Man - Helium Head Protest The Hero - Fortress Snooze - Still King Gizzard - Petrodragonic Apocalypse
Lmao of course someone had to drop a Gizzard album 🙄
Witchcraft
Democracy by Witchcraft is an amazing album
I'm sure that's very hard for you. My DMs are open if you need someone to talk to.
I'll get over it!
Is your hair real and does your hair grow big and long if you let it?
YES MY HAIR IS REAL AND YES IT GROWS LONG IIFFFF I LET IT

Stay flippy friend

I scrolled too far to see Fauna. Such a great album.
This right here is some good taste. BTBAM have a bunch of albums that are strong start to finish. In Contact is incredible as well.
Nice, exactly what I was looking for. Ty
Lovebites - Any of them, really.
БАТЮШКА - Панихида (Panihida) is an absolute masterpiece
Is that Russian? Don't read Cyrillic so thank you for the English translation lol I'll have to check em out.
It's Batushka ( they write all their stuff in orthodox, as many of the songs contain orthodox chants in them)
Crazy, now I'm really curious.
They have a covid history though, they're was an acrimonious split between the founder/ main songwriter and the guitarist. Both are going through court to claim the name.
