Extremism Before 1992, Community Participation Requested
Quote:
Now, we can argue about whether these earlier bands and albums are still relevant or as good as current releases, but the fact is these groups tend to be forgotten. As metal websites tend to focus on reviewing new releases, and as most metal fans aren't as fortunate as Jackhammer to have been there when it happened, we tend to be myopic and focus on the recent past and the new. So, I think the community coming together and discussing these earlier groups would be helpful, and just a little bit of fun. So, what I'd like to do is ask that people post their top 10 favorite "extreme" releases from up until 1992 (so, releases from 1992 are ok, but none later). They can be from any of the "extreme" genres, whether crossover, death metal, thrash, black metal, harcore, grindcore, whatever - if you think it qualifies as extreme, it can be put in your list. The concept is simple; a week from today (July 22nd), I'll tally up the lists. Lists are going to be weighted in a simplistic manner, a #1 is worth "10 points", a #"10" worth 1 point, and so on. The ten albums that get the most points will be put together in a sort of super list, to serve future newbs and genre explorers on this site. ================================================== =============== So, the last chance to participate has already come and gone. But, if you're curious about the results, I've put them in this post for ease of browsing. The rest of the thread is neat, too, what with people carrying on the great metal tradition of **** talking others lists. Results 1. Slayer (Reign in Blood, then Hell Awaits) 2. Celtic Frost (To Megatherion, then Into the Pandemonium, & lastly Morbid Tales) 3. Sepultura (Arise, then Beneath the Remains) 4. Bathory (Blood Fire Death, then S/T, & lastly Under the Sign of the Black Mark) 5. Morbid Angel (Covenant, which is '93, but then Altars of Madness) 6. Carcass (Symphonies of Sickness) 7. Godflesh (Streetcleaner) 8. Mercyful Fate (Melissa) 9. Napalm Death (Scum) TIE FOR 10: Discharge - Hear Nothing....

Great idea for a thread, maybe as an idea it could be just one artist as well, to stop people choosing 2 or 3 albums by the same band.
Death- Leprosy (4) Morbid Angel- Covenant (3) Celtic Frost- Morbid Tales (6) Bathory- Blood Fire Death (8) Sepultura- Arise (1) Slayer- Reign in Blood (2) Atheist- Unquestionable Presence (7) Kreator- Coma of Souls (5) Possessed- Seven Churches (10) Obituary- Slowly We Rot (9) |

Bathory - Bathory 7. Obituary - Cause of Death 8. Sepultura - Arise 9. Venom - Black Metal 10. Napalm Death - Utopia Banished |
The problem I have here is actually ordering them into a top ten in order for points to be awarded.
So I will post albums and then add the running order in the next couple of days if that's OK? I have not really gone for many typical faves as it is pretty obvious what many of those albums did for the genre but there was a huge amount of albums that straddled a few extreme genres and managed to appease fans from conflicting genres. Infest - Slave Crucifix - Dehumanization Napalm Death - Scum Death - Scream Bloody Gore Void - Potion For Bad Dreams Bathory - Under The Sign Of The Black Mark Ministry - The Land Of Rape And Honey Autopsy - Severed Survival Blind Illusion - The Sane Asylum Celtic Frost - Into The Pandemonium Mordred - Fool's Game Killing Joke - Debut Ludichrist - Immaculate Deception Agnostic Front - Cause For Alarm Obituary - Slowly We Rot Discharge - Hear Nothing... Septic Death - Now That I Have Your Attention Crumbsuckers - Life Of Dreams Corrosion Of Conformity - Tecnocracy Agnostic Front - Cause For Alarm Venom - Black Metal St. Vitus Dance- S.T Kreator - Pleasure To Kill Morbid Saint - Spectrum Of Death Sabbat - Dreamweaver S.O.D - Speak English Or Die D.R.I - 4 of a Kind Death Angel - The Ultra Violence Nuclear Assault - Game Over Prong - Beg To Differ Carcass - Symphonies Of Sickness Repulsion - Horrified |
some of my favorites, can`t do 1 defenitive 10....
Possessed - Seven Churches (1985) (2) Kreator - Pleasure to Kill (1986) (9) Sodom - Persecution Mania (1987) (10) Morbid Saint - Spectrum of Death (1988) (8) Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness (1989) (1) Terrorizer - World Downfall (1989) (7) Entombed - Left Hand Path (1990) (5) Obituary - Cause of Death (1990) (6) Carcass - Necroticism: Descanting the Insalubrious (1991) (3) Dismember - Like an Ever Flowing Stream (1991) (4) |
