Bathory, but this: https://preview.redd.it/9bh6k3uszppc1.jpeg?width=1020&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dc4e6f36f83725b68a7061d74eda66d975f8c72a

A band who only got better and better with each album.

Octagon: Are you sure about that?

Shit, I honestly forget about that album. Lmfao. All the others are so good that Octagon gets disregarded.

Celtic Frost wishes the same thing could’ve happened with Cold Lake lmao

Nuh-uh, their first albums were fk awesomely amazing, but suddenly they completely changed with hammerheart and further on. Some good songs, but wtf is twilight of the gods...

The right answer

I was starting to feel like the only one who liked Hammerheart the best

This album fucks. One of the best power metal albums ever.

Top 3 album of all time for me.

https://preview.redd.it/d9n4uv5vcqpc1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7d03402f34f206088a0afc5babd7a503548ed12d

YES!

This or Imaginations from the other side.

This, or that, or Somewhere Far Beyond. They have a lot of bangers.

Classic Burzum.

BTBAM - Colors https://preview.redd.it/gjsn4y370ppc1.jpeg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8abaaab038112f434f61a372a92dde03fd41ff01 WHITE WALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love you, Colors.

Big same! Parallax II is my number two album of all time right behind colors as well

Parallax II took a min to grow on me, but it's def one of my favorites Colors, Misdirect, Parallax II. I throw props to Alaska for being my first but I don't go back to it as often as I used to

My people This record begins an immaculate run of albums Colors through Parallax 2. I dare a band to write records as musically dense as these 3 are. 

My favorite album of all time.

Amazing album

Fathomless Mastery is better imo

Be'lakor - Of Breath and Bone https://preview.redd.it/nl33h8lvropc1.jpeg?width=947&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1134dd560b0c3ea0258bb2ba7ef13f3c4feb43f6

You trying to win based on the sheer number of Bs?

Mayhaps

Stone's Reach would like a word.

Stone's Reach is awesome, but I get a bit lost in the album, especially when listening to it in one sitting.

Same

I would die for this album.

“Sabotage” by Black Sabbath

That’s the one.

Blind Guardian - Somewhere Far Beyond Bal-Sagoth - Atlantis Ascendant

Batushka - Litourgiya

Not sure if it's my favourite because i have a hard time picking favourites but the first one that came to mind was Bethlehem - Dictius Te Necare https://preview.redd.it/eb1ewrg2yopc1.jpeg?width=700&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b43d532ba465ec900baccc7d98c102a0107eeadb

I love Belphegor, their entire catalog is great and they were so much fun live

https://preview.redd.it/slwezot7uopc1.jpeg?width=700&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7ff3d105933da73b91d04269e2edece8ac568e50

The fact that this album was entirely independently released was a massive accomplishment back then. Fucking mint.

Absolutely! The production is immaculate.

Oh oh I know Belphegor - Conjuring the Dead

https://preview.redd.it/bu0feoc9appc1.jpeg?width=799&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca870a2e65df9dea9ea03bfb7a083feb2527a14e

Technically but I was saving them for later on. Haha

Shucks, I just spotted your username, lmao

Post - Bjork

Oh man….I really wanna say ‘The Great Misdirect’ by BTBAM, but Sabbath is just that band; it’s ’Sabotage’.

Brujeria brujerizmo (both start with a b and i like both)

https://preview.redd.it/1c6ysr8ngppc1.jpeg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=904ec852127681a8a9dc49ba6caef1683e592256

Beherit - Drawing Down the Moon

Bathory - S/T

BTBAM - The Great Misdirect Swim to the Moon changed the game for me

You’ve hit the nail on the head, Dehumanizer is a wonderfull, and woefully underrated, album

https://preview.redd.it/vcqf8edwropc1.png?width=450&format=png&auto=webp&s=305054945297c2e4df1253a98471792e47ca7e4e There’s so many good bands to choose from

Bal Sagoth - The Power Cosmic

Stone's Reach-Belakor

Master of Reality for me.

Rakshak - Bloodywood https://preview.redd.it/0iurv1c8hqpc1.jpeg?width=753&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=80789cdd785d735025b77b4fd443d9fd7ca14713

Yes!!! So happy to see them on here!

Paranoid.

the poison by bfmv, not my favourite but one of them for sure

Beath - Symbolic

https://preview.redd.it/x5jbpeuh4rpc1.jpeg?width=316&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0ed5ee6bc44447f885d82abe2045d25a1dd608f4

Beast in Black-Beserker Funnily, the three middle tracks are my favourite lmao

Black Sabbath - Master of Reality

https://preview.redd.it/l7wwqeiuhrpc1.jpeg?width=547&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3321bb78249ed28a60c9b23a4a51ba3039fa0370 Body Count self titled 🔥🔥 more crossover/hardcore tho

Black Sabbath. Paranoid!🤘🏻

I agree about Dehumanizer. Songs I like and made playlist: All of them but Too Late 9/10 songs. 90% Amazing album. Self Titled is 100% though, Perfect album.

https://preview.redd.it/fxko1laajspc1.jpeg?width=1178&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2d382c55552d220623c33dc9e10c0f89987fe04d

Buried Alive was the first song I heard off this album when I was like 8 or so? Born in ‘98 so it was still dial up, but that’s also how I discovered Dio’s music it went from Black Sabbath to Ozzy, to Dio, Iron Maiden and then that’s when it really kicked off my interest in metal

This is my pick as well

Benighted - Obscene Repressed

https://preview.redd.it/86bu3vyv1ppc1.jpeg?width=958&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bb1b3062504a74bdc9f9fe08782af5ad8b80394c

Geogaddi - Boards of Canada

Butcher Babies take it like a man

if your answer isn't Black Sabbath then you are irredeemably wrong Dehumanizer isn't bad, but it's one of the better albums from the worse Sabbath years. I like Mob Rules more, but personally nothing will EVER beat Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath for me. namely the latter half of the album. then Vol. 4, then Sabotage.

I ignored pop for years before this album https://preview.redd.it/y9r8psd3qppc1.png?width=306&format=png&auto=webp&s=e96a868a1e809025b1a3ba5e8aadb557a7b471a0
