One of the best on that list, though.

Morbid Angel was like the first death metal band that I loved and I don't wanna turn my back on them. Vader was the first one I listened to a lot but I liked MA better.

My man. Altars of Madness might be my top pick as well.

Dismember - Like an Ever Flowing Stream
Obituary - Cause of Death
Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness

Yes! Thank you Jansz. Now Suffocation will not be eliminated this round. That will give me a few days to fly to Norway, drag Briks out of school and strap him to a chair and force him to listen to all the death metal albums and participate in this thread.

Just a heads up, I've added folk metal, drone metal, funeral doom, and made some alterations to other battles. Drone and funeral doom only have five entries ATM. I might be able to bitch people into checking out some genres, but I imagine trying to get a bunch of chodes who haven't already listened to Sunn O))) or Skepticism to listen to ten albums in each of those categories might be unrealistic, so those will be shorter battles unless I decide otherwise. I might even shorten some other pre-existing battles that I don't think people will be all that into or know much about (like metalcore or avant garde). Additions and changes are bolded.

Spoiler for Future Battles:

I'd say personally I'm way more likely to sit through a bunch of drone or avant garde metal than power metal or folk metal.

Hey, if you think we can get at least four or five people in on drone then by all means I'll extend it, but I'm dubious about how many people have even listened to much drone let alone give a **** about voting in a drone battle. At least power metal is a more universally known genre.

Black One is already in the avant garde metal battle.

And I find that odd. Granted, I don't listen to all that much drone metal, but Monoliths & Dimensions sounds like drone personified, whereas Black One seems far more experimental.

I see where you're coming from, but I think that Black One incorporates both the drone and metal elements. That's not to say that M&D doesn't, it's just that Black One does it more so. I guess I'm mainly talking about Alice, because that's straight drone and I don't hear any metal elements really. They're fine in the categories they're in now, forgot that Black One was in another category.

Hey... guys... you shouldn't vote off Effigy of the Forgotten. That's mean and stuff. And Wpnfire says so.
