Default Metal Album Survivor [1st Wave Black Metal Division]
Well, William the Bloody seems to have stumbled upon the perfect format to get people into music discussion, so I'm stealing his idea for a metal album thread. Given the sheer number of metal albums out there, I'm gonna have separate battles for each sub-genre, and when all battles are finished, we'll have a "Final", where the winners of each sub-genre battle go head to head, so that we can finally have a definitive answer to what is the best metal album of all time.


Finished Battles:

Traditional Metal
Thrash Metal
Death Metal
Sludge/Stoner Metal
Proto-Metal
Black Metal
Alternative Metal
Doom Metal
Power Metal
Avant-Garde Metal
Grindcore
Glam Metal
Industrial Metal
Progressive Metal
Folk Metal
Drone Metal
Melodic Death Metal

Still to Go:

Groove Metal/Post-Thrash
Post-Metal
