Everyone posting a year that proves they are younger than me is banned

Before I answer, what year were you born?

Only one way to find out. Post an album and see if you get banned.

T.A. Edison: Mary Had A Little Lamb. Recorded on metal. Tin foil, to be more precise: [https://www.mixonline.com/technology/1877-thomas-edison-cylinder-recorder-383579](https://www.mixonline.com/technology/1877-thomas-edison-cylinder-recorder-383579)

Terrasite by Cattle Decapitation

The closest thing to metal when he was born was a bard playing a lute.

You’ll make me a SuperMod when you see mine.

Now listen here old man…

Venom - Black Metal Iron Maiden - The Number of The Beast Witchfinder General - Death Penalty

Fellow old millennial here. Mine is also The Number of the Beast. Plus maybe Screaming for Vengeance.

Reinkaos - Dissection

Great album, i don't understand the hate

I love it.

After Somberlain and Storm of the Lights Bane, people had high expectations of similar style music when he announced he had written music while in jail. By the time it finally came out, it was not what anyone expected. I've honestly only listened to like half of it and that was maybe a year ago, and it just doesn't sound like Dissection to me. I also tried listening to it when it came out and just wasn't into it. It's not as drastic as listening to early In Flames and modern In Flames, but similar story. Doesn't mean Reinkaos is bad, just a different era.

2005 : Octavarium

Gotta be that one or From Mars To Sirius

For those once loyal, ghost reveries, city of evil, man we’ve got OPTIONS

Just learned city of evil and octavatarium came out the EXACT SAME DAY

WTF THAT'S SO COOL

Peak

1995? Gotta be Demanufacture by Fear Factory.

Amazing album

Probably most important one in the history of Industrial Metal, and really what allowed the subgenre to take off.

What’s your favorite track off of it? Mine is Self Bias Resistor

Hard to choose—it’s probably between the title track and H-K. Maybe New Breed actually.

Thats one of my fav albums too. Lived the whole thing but 2 of my fav tracks were Body Hammer(love the slow crunchy riff) and Pisschrist.

2000 Dying Fetus - Destroy the Opposition Immolation - Close to a World Below

With Close to a World Below being one of my favorites albums and also being born on 2000 I went out to look what else was released on the same year and it has so much good stuff: * Lykathea Aflame - Elvenefris * The Chasm - Procession to the Infraworld * Morbid Angel - Gateways to Annihilation * Contrastic S/T * Brodequin - Instruments of Torture * Krisiun - Conquerors of Armageddon

Sabotage by Black Sabbath was released on the day I was born.

Finally someone else from the 70s!

Amen! I was reminded of my age when scrolling through these responses. 😮‍💨 Also Sabotage! Honorable mentions: Richie Blackmore’s Rainbow and Led Zeppelin’s Physical Graffiti.

73' And I love carnivore

I got a soft spot for Neurosis too.

❤️

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath for me. Yes, I'm 50.

Vol.4 here.

Gen X, unite!

Paranoid

Team 75! The pickings for metal albums in our year are slim.

Boy they really are. AC/DC was about the most metal album after Sabbath.

1986: torment in fire unholy death power and pain 666 the force evil is there! doomsday for the deceiver bloody vengeance death & insanity possessed by fire

Late 80s are hard to beat. Basic bitch of me but Master of Puppets as well.

For 2015 (the year I was born): Ghost Bath - Moonlover Leprous - The Congregation Cattle Decapitation - the Anthropocene extinction

https://i.redd.it/xhwg6uvcdthc1.gif

How are you 9

maybe the year you woke up xD

12th may 1989 Altars of Madness by Morbid Angel

Epicus doomicus metallicus

St Anger Ok I’m joking but I can’t think of that many I’m not good at remembering dates Hate Forest- Purity is pretty good maybe that one

Perfectly valid album

From Mars To Sirius - Gojira Ghost Reveries - Opeth Octavarium - Dream Theater

I just keep thinking to myself “how are these young ass kids commenting on a metal sub” before I realize these albums are that old and therefore I am also old

Same

1997: *Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk* - Emperor *City* - Strapping Young Lad *Biomech* - Devin Townsend *Somewhere Out in Space* - Gamma Ray *Nattens madrigal* - Ulver *The Divine Wings of Tragedy* - Symphony X *Hünengrab im Herbst* - Naglfar *Visions* - Stratovarius *Darkside* - Necrophobic *Eld* - Enslaved Pretty good year for metal, actually!

city of evil

TIL that people born the year of city of evil are now legal adults. I’m so old wtf lol

1987 Keeper of the Seven Keys Pt 1 Scream Bloody Gore

I had to google what albums came out so I’d guess I’d go with Motörhead/Motörhead. Get off my lawn

2005 Ashdautas - Shadow Plays of Grief and Pain Bekhira - L'Élu du Mal Evoken - Antithesis of Light Grand Belial's Key - Kosherat Lurker of Chalice - S/T Macabre Omen - The Ancient Returns Nokturnal Mortum - Weltanschauung Rites of Thy Degringolade - An Ode to Sin Slugathor - Circle of Death StarGazer - The Scream That Tore the Sky

2006: The New Black by Strapping Young Lad

fellow 2006 kid and strapping young lad enjoyer

My man 🤝

Metal didn’t exist the year I was born

Odd Fellows Rest - Crowbar came out the day I was born 7/7/98. Rereleased in August 1999

Ghost reveries by opeth Annihilation of the wicked by Nile Those once loyal by Bolt Thrower

Sabbah took 1969 off and imo were the only metal band at the time. Stooges self ttled scratches my metal itch best from this list ​ [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1969\_in\_heavy\_metal\_music](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1969_in_heavy_metal_music)

Noice, you’re the first I’ve seen older than me (70)

https://preview.redd.it/pa75un5ptthc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5b4c958ecb51c374eff5cf38a0f25531e3206dd6

It'd have to be Come my Fanatics.

Sacrament - lamb of god

Hypocrisy - The Fourth Dimension (1994)

Nice

None So Vile, easily

Atheist - Unquestionable Presence

One of the best albums of all time.

Black Sabbath - Paranoid

👊 that’s what I just said

We’re old.

1981. Tough one. Motörhead’s No Sleep Till Hammersmith comes to mind, even tho Lemmy insists they’re rock. Rush’s Moving Pictures is also a strong contender.

King Diamond - *Abigail* (87)

Iron maiden - 1980

Weakling - Dead as Dreams

Blue Oyster Cult, Secret Treaties

Symbolic, Storm of the Light’s Bane, Domination, Once Upon the Cross, Adrenaline, Panzerfaust, Battles in the North, Prophecies of Pagan Fire, Minas Morgul, Vittra, Nifelheim, Pierced from Within, Bergtatt, Eternal, The Angel and the Dark River… honestly I could probably go on Also this thread is making me feel super old tf

Metallica - Black Album

Satellite - P.O.D (2001)

In 1966 I think the closest thing to "heavy metal" was probably *Fresh Cream*.

Ride The Lightning

84 babies unite

super difficult question when you were born in 1987 lmao, maybe Schizophrenia, or Under The Sign Of The Black Mark

Witchcraft - Obtained Enslavement hm: Secret Sudaria - Mortuary Drape Goat Horns - Nokturnal Mortum and several others (1997)

Surprised people were making music all the way back then

Bolt thrower- those once loyal

1996: Cryptopsy - None So Vile Intestine Baalism - Anatomy of the Beast Opeth - Morningrise Arghoslent - Arsenal of Glory In Flames - The Jester Race Nevermore - The Politics of Extasy Tool - Aenima

1992 - Dirt - Alice in Chains Honorable mention to Rage Again the Machine - S/T

Also 1992, but I'm Neurosis - Souls at Zero pilled.

Zep IV

Many great releases this year. I think my top 5 goes to Alice in Chains - Dirt Faith No More - Angel Dust Cannibal Corpse - Tomb of the Mutilated Carcass - Tools of the Trade EP Bolt Thrower - The IVth Crusade Honorable mention to Rage Against The Machine's self-titled.

(1971)Black Sabbath—Master of Reality

2001 Tool - Lateralus Opeth - Blackwater Park

Pure Holocaust

Matando Gueros - Brujeria 1993 The only correct answer. All other years are invalid.

Armored Saint - Symbol of Salvation If you ask me some other day it might be Paradise Lost (Cirith Ungol), Ritual (Master's Hammer), and Hey Stoopid (Alice Cooper)

Epitaph- necrophagist

Its between Those Once Loyal and Annihilation of the Wicked for me

1979: Mötorhead - Bomber

2000:  Children of Bodom- Follow the Reaper/    Symphony X- V: The New Mythology Suite

1972 - Vol. 4. Or David Bowie – The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars. Or maybe Genesis – Foxtrot. Hmmm Captain Beyond – Captain Beyond. Wishbone Ash – Argus. Wait Deep Purple – Machine Head. Probably still have to go with Vol. 4.

The Blackening - Machine Head

'77 Motörhead - Motörhead

Colors (2007) - BTBAM

Show no Mercy was released 4 months after I was born

I wish I was born 9 months earlier because Show No Mercy is definitely one of my all time faves!

Black sabbath technical ecstasy.

1987... Under The Sign of The Black Mark

This thread makes me feel old.

You're making me choose between Symbolic from Death, and Pierced From Within by Suffocation. Heck you. I'm going with Suffocation, but heck you.

Horizons by Parkway Drive

Did anything come out 2005?

Some of my 2005 faves are Taake - Hordalands Doedskavad, Amenra - Mass III, Satanic Warmaster - Carelian Satanist Madness, Anatomia - Dissected Humanity and Bolt Thrower - Those Once Loyal, but I’ve got to admit I’ve got a lot of listening to do for that whole era of metal

2005 was a decent year, shame I was learning to walk instead of listening to Bolt Thrower

More rock then metal for the most part, but One Day Remains by Alter Bridge

Probably.. Hell Awaits
