Fave BM (and BM-adjacent) Albums * Updating this as I get around to doing song-by-song on RYM.
* 1 album per band * limiting this to actual black metal releases, as opposed to releases by bands that were, at one time, black metal. >> Some bands really do incorporate a lot of both death metal or doom (or avant garde or folk, etc) and black metal in their albums, so I consider them to be 'black metal adjacent' even if it might not be 'purely black metal'

Ranking the One-Album Wonders in Metal Some of the best metal albums ever released have been by bands that only had one full length release.
List is (and probably always will be) a constant work-in-progress. If you know of a "one-and-done" metal band/album that isn't on my list, feel free to recommend

The Best Metal Albums* From A To # (M) 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/

MS Meta(l) List Of The 2010's - Top 200 Input:
10 years 20 decade lists 749 bands 973 albums Output: 200 top albums from 2010-2019 FAQ How are the points calculated? Simple math. Ranked top lists: 1st place = 150 pts. 2nd place = 149 pts. ... 100th place = 51 pts. ... 150th place = 1 pt. Alphabetically sorted lists: Each place = 100 pts. Why just a Top 200? Because 200 list entries are more than enough. Is it by pure coincidence that the first four positions are occupied by bands with the initial letter "E"? Yes. Will your list be updated on a regular basis? No. Why is my favorite power metal abum not featured? I don't know. Let's ask the list owners: AgentOrange94 - Top 10 Albums Of The 10's andreosokin - Top 25 Albums Of 2010s ChapuLviz - Top 100 Grind List (2010-2019) Chobo_jokeR - JokeR's Top Hunnid From 2010 - 2019 Desha - Me(tal) In The 2010s Draugen - Top 100 of the 2010s embracing - My Completely Subjective Top 10 Of The 2010-2019 Decade Enemy of Reality (RIP) - 100 Album Guide To The Decade 2010-19 FullyOttoMatic - 50 Favorite Metal (And Metal-Adjacent) Albums Of The 2010's Iron Men - A Decade Of Aggression Kuroboshi - Top 100 Albums Of 2010-2019 Maco - 2010-2019 Top 100 musclassia - 150 Albums To Become An Adult To: 2010-2019 mz - Best Of 2010-2020 By Mz Neachy - Neachy's Select: Top 100 Albums Of The 10s nikarg - Old Nick's Top-101 Of The '10s nonZero - My Top 50 Albums of the 2010s (deleted) RaduP - You Know It's Technically 2011-2020, Right?

Me(tal) In The 2010s Descriptions will probably be added/edited a few times as I always write this stuff pretty quickly and sometimes can't find the right words to describe somehting so abstract as music. A lot of my taste just boils down to "sounds interesting" or "catchy". So yeah. Most of this will have overlaps with other lists I made because I have very narrow taste.

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.

Mz's Favorite Records Of Drone And Related Genres Still not finished, as I need to rearrange, check the links and also go through the genres again. I might have forgotten many good records. In addition, my knowledge of early industrial movement is very limited, so the list is lacking on that front. Many albums on the list might also not be considered drone in a traditional sense of the word, but they need the same sort of aesthetic appreciation I guess, so I included them. The most important criteria is that the albums should rely extensively on texturing, buildup, and musical landscapes rather that being riff based.

Magical Albums Good musical pieces are those that initiate an emotional reaction or a subconscious shift of your subjective perception. The best music are those that elicit the most positive or dramatic of changes to our psyches. This is a list that I return to occasionally for these effects.
It is subjective of course.

One-album Metal Wonders A list of bands who have released just one album. Feel free to recommend!
Edit: If the band released their debut album between 2014-present and they haven't split, they are not viable.

Mind Manifesting: Apothecary's Guide To Psychedelic Soundscapes I've always been a huge fan for psychedelic music of any and all kinds. The enveloping atmosphere, the ability of minimalist solos to create a grand sense of harmony, and all those deliciously trippy effects that you can zone out with... they all come together for such a stimulating, otherworldly experience. This is often the type of music I'm most comfortable with: dazing, mind numbing, and hypnotizing.
My psychedelic definitions (including, but not limited to) 1. Very free flowing and (often) formless guitar playing. Specific soloing style of focusing more on the individual notes themselves to create a grand harmony around the main rhythm at hand. 2. Intense manipulation of guitar tone, including feedback, delay, looping, etc. 3. Heavy use of electronic effects. This is something that goes back to the earliest psychedelic bands of the 60s who used hammond organ and harpsichord, but today it's evolved into a wide range of keyboards, synths, equalizers, etc. Recs both encouraged and appreciated.

Rod's Favorite Use Of Samples! Sometimes, samples can improve the atmosphere of a song just as much as the instruments (or even more). This is a compilationn of some of my favorite samples in metal. I'm trying to keep it one album per band but exceptions are just fine. Oh yeah, I forgot something: I'm not gonna be too specific about where these samples are. It's way more interesting to discover them on your own!
Recommendations are welcome! Just don't get upset if I don't like them. D: Please write band AND album. Rec's awaiting evaluation: N.K.V.D. - Vlast Will Haven - Voir Dire The Monolith Deathcult - Trivmvirate Necrophagia - Deathtrip 69 Cathedral - The Carnival Bizarre Ævangelist - De Masticatione Mortuorum In Tumulis Fantômas - Delirium Cordia Metallica - Ride The Lightning, Master Of Puppets, ...And Justice For All Deicide - Legion Cathedral - The Carnival Bizarre Tool - Lateralus, Ænima Impaled - Mondo Medicale Queens Of The Stone Age - Queens Of The Stone Age Immortal - Sons of Northern Darkness Heathen - Victims Of Deception Fear Factory - Demanufacture White Zombie Strapping Young Lad - City Static-X - Wisconsin Death Trip Nailbomb - Point Blank Impetigo - Horror Of The Zombies Lamb Of God - Ashes Of The Wake Buzz*Oven - ...At A Loss Toxik - Think This Hell - Human Remains Machine Head - Burn My Eyes Bolt Thrower - Mercenary The Ruins Of Beverast - Unlock The Shrine, Foulest Semen Of A Sheltered Elite Agalloch - Faustian Echoes Alrakis - Alpha Eri Blacklodge - Solarkult
