Embarrassingly bad.

>no Godflesh
literally the only good metal band

Lol

>Burzum
>No Judas Priest
It's shite

BASED. Great taste user.

This is every metal album you need. If you don't like any of these, you will never like metal.

Top row is classic 70s / early 80s traditional metal. Start here.

Middle row is speed/thrash metal. The missing link between classic heavy metal and more extreme metal. This is not considered extreme yet, but it's getting there.

Bottom row is the beginnings of extreme metal. These are death and black metal in their purest forms.

we have to stop being so general and start making subgenre charts.

A great way to get into music buy starting off with the most acclaimed of any genre.

why even bother? the only metal band worth listening to is Godflesh

Yeah, this is pretty much the first two decades of metal in a nutshell.

>No Ulver
>No Dissection

what faggot made this

you only need paranoid, powerslave and scream bloody gore, slayer is shit-tier trash, kill 'em all is garbage, bathory and venom are boring, motorhead released the same album 24 times and rainbow are just inessential

Motorhead bridges the gap between MWOBHM and thrash.
Kill Em All is the purest thrash album of all time. The whole genre pretty much revolves around that album.
Venom bridges the gap between thrash and black/death metal.
Bathory solidified the cold black metal sound.
Rainbow Rising is the best metal album of the 70s and the best metal album to feature Dio.

why is it filosofem instead of hvis lyset tar oss
where is antichrist
where is mercyful fate
where is dissection
where is sarcofago
where is sepultura
where is sodom
where is kreator
why is slayer there
why is the inferior "Ride the Lightning" there
why is "powerslave" there instead of any good Iron maiden album
this

>Kill Em All is the purest thrash album of all time.
Imagine being THIS much of a tourist. If you're looking for thrash, look no further than pic related.

music isn't a history lesson faggot, just because something was the 'first to do it' doesn't make it good

I fucking love that album, but my chart was supposed to be entry-level. Normies who want to get a taste of 80s thrash should hear Kill Em All before they hear an obscure death thrash album from the early 90s.

-Some stuff is redundant if you're just trying to make a list of absolute essential albums. Both Sleep and Electric Wizard are good examples of stoner metal, but we don't need both.
-Having three sludge albums is also excessive and redundant.
-Needs at least one more classic power metal album.
-Morbid Saint is great, but I feel like if you want to add something outside the big four of thrash, it would be wise to showcase some good Euro thrash like Kreator or Sodom.
-It also seems to be badly lacking in some of the really classic bands. No Judas Priest or Motorhead is just silly.
-Could do with just a straight prog metal albums.

Overall not a bad list, particularly if one is interested in the more extreme side of metal, but a few too many albums really overlap, and a few genres don't get enough credit for how important they are to metal.

the point of the chart is to be a history lesson
other charts exist to aid in delving into metal subgenres

Mercyful Fate/King Diamond is the best trad/heavy band and it's not even close. Their exclusion from the chart is a travesty.

Faggot. What about drone metal. You can't be a gay genre gatekeeper if you can't even represent the entire genre.

Name one (1) good drone metal album.

>implying drone matters even to metalheads.

BASED

Hammerheart isnt even Bathory's best viking album, its just ok

>Rainbow
>no Judas Priest

Why does it stop in the 80s?

Stargazer is the greatest heavy metal song of all time.

>not listening to them back to back

>only death is real
>chart also has black metal

Metal stopped being innovative in the 80s. The last pure metal subgenres, death metal and black metal, emerged in the 80s.
Everything after that has been variations on existing genres.

Dronevil

That isn't true at all, though. Not to mention that death and black took massive influences from punk, so I'm not sure how they're 'pure' metal.

2nd wave black was pretty damn big tho and that happened in ther 90s

>ride the lightning
fine

fine
>reign in blood

>filosem
I prefer the other one but fine
>leviathan
I like Mastodon but is there really room for modern bands on an "essentials" list? Especially one this short? sure, though; it's a good album.
>powerslave
finally some trad stuff. are these in any kind of order? it seems like it jumps around randomly
>master of reality
I definitely prefer this over Paranoid or s/t
>master of puppets
wait, ANOTHER Metallica album? On a list this short?
>altars of madness
great album. important band.

>nightfall

>unquestionable presence
wow, that's like three tech-death albums now on the list. I mean they're all classics but we're kind of struggling for variety on this list.
>epicus doomicus metallicus or whatever
you know; i've never heard this. I own the album after this one though. anyway, the list needed more doom so good job.
>spectrum of death
this seems really out of place on this list. it's a great album but Morbid Saint aren't a "big" band like the others on this list. maybe that was the point. Also, like a third of the list is Thrash Metal now.
>through silver and blood
Neurosis... okay, getting some sludge on here. I never really got into these guys but fair enough. They're probably more well known/have more crossover appeal than Crowbar or Eyehategod or Grief.

>houdini
oh wow ANOTHER sludge album. actually i haven't listened to this in so long that I'm not even sure if it is sludge metal. Maybe I just thought it was when I was 24 or whatever. I like Melvins but I don't think I would have included this.
>transylvanian hunger
wow FINALLY some black metal. we're almost at the end of the list! good pick. classic band, classic album.
>in the nightside eclipse
no complaints here.
>feedbacker
uh, this is not a metal album. What the fuck is this doing here. side note: I saw them on their last tour and they were selling shirts with this album cover on the front and I really wanted to get one but I waited until after the show and they were all sold out! I'm still pissed about that. You can't find it anywhere online; That was my only chance.
>Bath
I fucking love this album but is this really essential? Were these guys influential at all? Also the other "half" is much more metal and honestly probably more accessable. They should really be listed as a pair. I always listen to them as one right after the other.
>relentless
I would have picked Trouble or St. Vitus or Witchfinder General or something instead of this. They all put out degbut albums earlier and honestly I don't even think this album is that good.
>whatever the Earth album is called
Okay, We don't need both Earth AND Boris on here. Drone metal is such a niche sub-genre. Also hasn't everyone basically decided that Sunn 0))) is the essential Drone band?
>whatever this album is called
Agalloch sucks.
>when the kite string pops
ANOTHER sludge album??
>holy mountain
ANOTHER stone album??
>colors
fuck you.

Final verdict: That list really went off the rails at the end. I think I would replace 1/3 or 1/2 of the list with other albums. There's too much thrash, too much sludge, almost no traditional and power metal. C- see me after class.

Its sound is rooted in Under The Sign Of The Black Mark.

100%

Why not skip that since you have venom and just put de mysteriis instead, hell why not put "Bathory" instead of UtSotBM and put de mysteriis, nightside eclipse or hvis lyster tar oss instead?

Why not just make the entire list Bathory albums?

In that case venom would be better

Venom is pure first wave black metal. All first wave black metal is derived from Venom.
All second wave style black metal is derived from Under The Sign Of The Black Mark. Simple as that.
My goal was to create the tightest metal essentials chart possible that trims all the fat and gives normies exactly what they need to hear and nothing else. They can explore later if they like it.

>I like Mastodon but is there really room for modern bands on an "essentials" list? Especially one this short? sure, though; it's a good album.

At this point Leviathan is 16 years old. It's starting to get to the point where we can't really call it a "modern" album anymore. When I got into metal in 2005 some of the albums on this list that were younger than Leviathan is now were already considered essential. Given how big Mastodon was in the 2000s (and still is), I think it's fair to put one of their more famous albums on the list.

Why do metal heads NPC so God damn much?

Bam, I made my own version. Tear it apart.
1st Row is essential trad and thrash
2nd Row is black metal
3rd row is death metal
4rth row is power metal, doom metal, and other misc. stuff (Thorns would've been in the black metal row but I put Emperor instead)

actually a really good essentials chart, personally I'd remove Pure holocaust in favor of either the somberlain or storm of the light's bane but that's a nitpick

I own 6 HM-2 pedals
Fuck off fag

Needs more prog than just Mastodon and Opeth, add Queensryche, Fates Warning, Voivod or Devin Townsend

Rust in Peace is not important at all. Pleasure to Kill is just poor man's Hell Awaits. Do we really need Terrorizer when we have Repulsion? Do we really need more than one grindcore album from the 80s and why isn't one of them Reek of Putrefaction? Do we really need Electric Wizard? Do we really need Agalloch?
Otherwise nice list.

Leviathan is barely a prog album anyway.
