You can thank me by using proper capitalization and punctuation.

119. High On Fire - Snakes for the Divine (2010)



High on Fire, one of the greatest metal bands out there right now, have been doing this for a while. Almost 20 years of excellence. Fun fact, without these guys there would be no Mastodon due to the members of that band actually meeting at an early High on Fire show. This album rivals Death is this Communion in almost every way. Any album that can match up to that one deserves to be heard. Some may argue that Matt Pike is losing a little strength in his vocal delivery, I disagree and continue to fight for this record. Every track is excellent, but a real standout would be the fantastic title track opener. Also Bastard Samurai is one of the bands most over the top tracks to date, and I love it. They lyrics are crazy, the delivery is on point, the instrumentation is wild. Overall, I could not be more impressed with this album and this band. Back to back near masterpieces in the genres of stoner and sludge is an impressive feat. If you have heard one, you simply must listen to the other.

You posted the Orphaned Land album twice. 58 and 106. I don't care for the record personally but I feel it should be removed from one of those spots.

120. Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse (1994)




Yes, Bathory is essential. Yes, Burzum is essential. Yes, even ******* Ulver are essential. However, you don't know what it means to be essential until you listen to this record. Coming out of a time where black metal records were beginning to shred their death metal counterparts in terms of exposure, this probably was the pinnacle of that era of black metal. I regard this highly as my 5th favorite album of all time. The shrieks are apocalyptic, the depressing atmosphere is breathtaking, and the instrumentation is top notch. I was left with probably the most impressive black metal record I had ever listened to. It beats the hell out of bands like Bathory. There are too many standouts on this record to list, but I'll give you one for your listening pleasure. This is a must for anyone who even remotely likes metal. For me it was the gateway drug into one of metal's most expressive genres.

Let's make that the last metal album that you hear before you die so that people will survive to hear the other albums first.

Chad approves of this message. I don't. Boo from me, also.

Oh no, look: even he can't believe it.

Edit: Hold on a ****ing minute!! Metal, that's bad enough of a claim for Nickel****. BLACK METAL? Oh man, you really need help. Unless you're trolling, in which case fine, but please replace the album: all the others are feeling uncomfortable in its douchey presence.
