Here you'll find my beloved metal CDs ever.

Amorphis : The Karelian Ishtmus

Deathmetal

Comments : bought it following the months of its release. A masterpiece of atmospheric death metal.

 

Black Sabbath : Master Of Reality

Doommetal

A must have.

BARF : Ignorance- Chaos - Suicide

Hardcore

A very atmosphere CD. A few deathmetal touches there & there. Very dark lyrics. There from Quebec so some songs are English & some in French.

 

Cannibal Corpse : Bloodthirst

Deathmetal

It was hard to pick just ONE album. I choose this one because it represents what deathmetal should be. Also, my first CD from them.

 

Confessor : Condemned

Doommetal

Not your typical doom band here but really great album. A wonderful voice mixed with excellent guitar players.

 

Despair : Decay Of Humanity

Trashmetal

Here again, a great band with a great singer. No growls, no grunts, just a beautiful voice. Musically quite typical European trash but delivered very well.

 

Darkthrone : Soulside Journey

Deathmetal

If I had to just pick a very few CDs to bring on a desert island, Soulside Joureny would be very first pick.

 

I know that Darktrhone changed of style many years ago & I respect that but what a stunning album. Although some complain about the sound in general, I think it’s good enought.

 

I appreciate bands like Cannibal Corpse but if I could find more CDs like this.

 

Very atmospheric, mysterious lyrics, the particular voice on this album, all of these elements make that CD a MASTERPIECE to me.

 

I can’t tell how many times I’ve listen to it. I have lost count years ago.

 

I paid for it 3 times. First : a used tape then as a new CD couples of year after & finally the remastered version when it was released in 2002 I think.

 

If only they have finished Goatlord the way it was supposed to be before switching to Blackmetal(I know that finally released it but as demo version. Very good but I can’t imagine how great it would have been if only that had finished it. My feeling is it would have been even better that Soulside. Much more better)

 

Edge of Sanity : Unorthodox

Deathmetal

Dark atmospheric deathmetal. A pure pleasure at each listening.

 

Forbidden : Twisted into form

Trashmetal

A must have. Well executed.

 

Gorefest : False

Deathmetal

Second CD of the band, this one is my favourite. They after changed for a “hard metal” style that I’m not too found of.

 

Too bad.

 

 Gorguts : Considered dead.

Deathmetal

French-Canadian Gorguts have been a leader in pure brutal death metal style for many years. They are inactive since while now.

 

Morbid angel : Covenant

Deathmetal

A hard choice here. Which album picking-up ? I ended choosing the first one I ever bought.

 

It’s nice to see a “older” band still touring and recording.

 

Mortification : Scrolls of the Megilloth.

Deathmetal

Typical death stuff with Christian lyrics. Interesting. Also great musicianship.

 

My dying bride : The dreadful hours

Doom/deathmetal

What a wonderful album ! A great mix of oppressive & brutal music.

 

Nile : Black seeds of vengeance

Deathmetal

Besides typical deathmetal, they also added some Egyptian instruments on some tracks. The result is stunning. Fascinating.

 

Obituary : The end complete

Deathmetal

Again, I had chosen the first CD that I bought from them. That album is a must! Definitively a CLASSIC here.

 

Probably their best CD yet.

 

Oppressor : Agony

Deathmetal

Very brutal stuff. Don’t listen to it if your heart is fragile !

 

Pentagram : Pentagram

Doom-metal

Cathedral has credited them as an inspiration so I decided to give them a chance. That band is, with Black Sabbath, the grand father of doom metal.

 

Another classic here.

 

Pestilence : Consuming impulse

Deathmetal

One word : WHOW !

Sacralis : Infera Destino

deathmetal

An all female death metal band from Germany. Disbanded a couple of years ago. Very talented.

Sinister : Cross the Styx

Deathmetal

A very talented group. That CD is my favourite so far.

 

Slayer : Reign in blood

Speed/trashmetal

Just listen to it.

Trouble : The Skull

Doom-metal

Another Christian band here. Brilliant album. Slow and tortuous.

 

Sorrow : Hatred and disgust

Doom/deathmetal

Disbanding shortly after the release of this album, Sorrow left as a testament a truly great album to listen to. Dark lyrics based on life facts, very slow rhythms with some speed bursts at the right place, Sorrow combined masterly elements of doom & death.

 

A too short career.

 

Vader : Ultimate incantation

Deathmetal

An excellent example of the deathmetal of the 90’s.

 

Vital Remains : Let us pray

Deathmetal

Very evil, very heavy, Satanic CD cover = pure pleasure!

 

A masterpiece.

 

Winter : Into darkness

Doom-metal

Looking for VERY slow deathmetal ? Do not look further more : you have just found it !
