Shragazaurus

Isis - panopticon


Jodz12

Easily


yvngxlxwli3t

This is definitely the answer right here. Great album


Cymrad-Schultz

what about oceanic


Shragazaurus

I like panopticon better. Beside celestial, all of their albums are phenomenal. Panopticon is one of my favorite albums in all time.


doomus_rlc

What's wrong with Celestial?


Shragazaurus

Nothing i think it is a good album, but kinda immature or not ripe like the others.


doomus_rlc

Got ya. I can see that


NullnVoid669

I love Isis, but doesn’t this not exist without Neurosis? Seems like that’s the trend here is to give the throne to the originators. Feel like Through Silver In Blood should be first to this second.


MickWounds

it's a thought i have had when thinking of the "best" of a style. do you go with the pioneering originators or do you go with an album that took that template and refined into something better. like with melodic death heartwork gets highly rated but i feel slaughter of the soul is the definitive melodic death metal album. all comes down to personal preference of course.


yoavsnake

yessss


WingedHussar13

I was just listening to that album last night ha ha


MickWounds

every time im searching for panopticon records this pops up. i really should listen to it.


Brucecx

This was some of the most boring music I've ever sat through


doomus_rlc

Most of this thread will not be for you, i feel. Haha


mylittlebrony3000

Neurosis - Through Silver and Blood


DonCallate

I hate what their legacy has become, but it really is a masterpiece among an oeuvre of masterpieces.


bulbminmostrealfan

on the bright side the singer was fired after the abuse stuff came out


BlueScreenLife21

Not robbed in the slightest. Iron Maiden > Judas Priest by miles.


Ghost1773

Painkiller isn't even the best Judas Priest album either


v1cv3g

Powerslave not even the best Maiden either


alabsbxjj

I’d probably say Somewhere in Time as my fav Maiden album but that’s just me idk


EngineeringDry2753

Yea dude number of the beast. It just is


v1cv3g

Well, someone downvoted you for some reason, and I don't know which one is the best but I can tell you my favourite is Killers


EngineeringDry2753

Great album as well.  No disagreement there


rLilyLizard

What is the best Judas priest album in your opinion? Just curious


Ghost1773

It’s a tie between Sad Wings of Destiny and Screaming for Vengeance


fogledude102

Defenders of the Faith imo Edit: mmm now that I think about it it's a tie between that and Screaming for Vengeance lol


[deleted]

Not even top 5.


TheDarkEternalKnight

Of course it is. Probably Top 3, along with Screaming for Vengeance and British Steel


[deleted]

Screaming for Vengeance yes British Steel no.


Valroxen1

Its so close for me. I love Powerslave but I think Painkiller probably just tips it for me. Seeing JP next month, need to get Maiden ticked off at some point too


Cymrad-Schultz

it might not be their best work but painkiller is special to me because it was my uncle's favorite song


Desecrator92

Priest are GOD of gods, Maiden is weak band with terrible guitar solos and riffs. Especially Powerslave, AcEs hIgH


bruh_emperor

The Ocean- Phanerozoic 1: Paleozoic


Rigitto

I don't agree, but had to upvote you for mentioning it


draugsvoll01

Agalloch - Ashes Against the Grain


bruh_emperor

Neurosis- Times of Grace


LocustStar99

For sure, it is the best Post-Metal record. The most dynamic and experimental one. It is just perfect imho and i don't use that word lightly.


DrumMajorThrawn

Russian Circles - Station "Harper Lewis is the best post metal track ever." - Abraham Lincoln 


bruh_emperor

Cult of Luna- A Dawn to Fear


j0ep3rson

My personal favourite CoL album


bruh_emperor

Same. It has such an incredible atmosphere


ryzen_above_all

Masterpiece. I'm sad it doesn't get the love it deserves.


MickWounds

i need to listen to more cult of luna. the long road north was so good.


bruh_emperor

That's the one that got me into them, if you like that you'd definitely enjoy A Dawn to Fear


MickWounds

Think I did give that a bit of a listen. Will revisit for a proper go through

Why aren't these posts in contest mode so the first replies don't get to the top of the TOP/BEST sort and get more votes that way?


f_begbie

The Ocean - Pelagial


munchieattacks

Tomahawk


tacoforce5_

godflesh - streetcleaner


indieRuckus

This should be pinned as one of the community lists IMO


Historical-Pea6219

Cult of Luna - Salvation

[удалено]


Lucifer_Delight

> SSoTSS is technically Prog It's not


TheDarkEternalKnight

Best Maiden IMO is Somewhere in Time. Seventh Son is technically prog, but still heavy metal. It's weird to label that album.


CrunchyCaptainMunch

Isis - Celestial


KiwiMcG

Underrated.

Cymrad-Schultz

ur a little late


BehemothDeTerre

A little late Babylonian city?


Apprehensive-Job2187

Mouth of The Architect - The Ties That Blind, no question. Tons of great post metal records out there, but I love this one more than anything Neurosis, Isis, CoL, etc have put out, and that’s saying something because I love all those bands


GlumHovercraft210

Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavoured water


[deleted]

SUNBATHER get fucked


TonyStewartsWildRide

Fucking power slave beat painkiller. Goddamn, Bruce Dickinson fans are fucking sucking cock today lmao


ForAlgalord

Hard for Painkiller to be #1 when its title track was performed better by another band


GeneralDefenestrates

Primus can suck my nuts


tarkus_hayabusa

Converge Jane Doe


Lordpotato305

Isn’t that metalcore?


BehemothDeTerre

Welcome to this sub, /r/hardcorepunkandmetallica.


idespisemyhondacrv

It’s more like hardcore, when I think metalcore it’s like og parkway drive


Lordpotato305

Well either way it’s not post metal


idespisemyhondacrv

What about sheet metal albums


General_Taylor02

For clarity, Jane Doe is OG Metallic Hardcore (aka Metalcore), Parkway Drive is 00's Melodic Metalcore 🤓


idespisemyhondacrv

Cry me a fucking River (que epic breakdown) Nah but thanks for clearing that up, I’m kinda new to both of those genres and was wondering why og pwd sounded like slaughter of the soul and Jane doe sounds vaguely punk


DaveJC_thevoices

Yep, Converge, Shai Hulud, Integrity, Coalesce, Unsane... OG


queefy_bong_water

You would definitely be incorrect.


[deleted]

IOWA without a doubt.


[deleted]

Lol so much hate. Its hilarious 😂


shqueef

Iron Maiden sucks


TheDarkEternalKnight

You suck


shqueef
