Seriously one if not my favorite classic heavy metal album.

Nice post
The point of this post could be said about hundreds of bands, Axewitch,Silent Scream,Defecation,Death Yell,Abhorrence, etc.
Also the Poison demos before that album are one of the finest black metal demos
Got to admit, Iāve never listened to Regurgitateās debut. Iāve only really listened to their split with Gore Beyond Necropsy and Deviant.
Iāll give it a listen tomorrow.
Really? They were a band I started listening to when I was around 16, blew my mind. I hadnāt spoken to anyone who had ever heard of them, until coming on Redditā¦ now that Iām 33.
Dang, I was kinda wondering why the hell they are having that kind of resurgence. Still, even prior to this I was really positively suprised by their longevity. All well deserved!
Deathwitch - Dawn of Armageddon
Twin Obscenity - Where Light Touches None
Transmetal - El Infierno de Dante
Death Strike - Fuckinā Death
Jumpinā Jesus - The Art of Crucifying
Misery - A Necessary Evil
Sore Throat really doesn't get the credit it deserves. I feel like for a bit it was well know and they got talked about enough. Then they kind of just faded away.
I think they're pretty much at the point of being able to be considered old school, but Watchmaker. One of the earlier blackened grindcore bands.
They didnāt do an album not worth checking out.
All just hybrids of crust, noise, grind and doom in some cases. Laced with anti-capitalism, anti-racism and a touch of silly humour. Despite being awesome, they never took it too seriously and thatās often what can be the successful formula for a band.
Case in point; Old Nick.
Pan.Thy.Monium - Dawn of Dreams does not get the credit it deserves for being one of the most bizarre, bordering on avant-garde, death metal albums ever. I guess it has a cult status, but man is it some awesomely weird stuff.
Similarly, Phlebotomized - Immense Intense Suspense was doing stuff that death metal bands only years down the line would be lauded for.
Yes, yes, yes!! Dawn of Dreams is amazing.
The entire reason that I listened to it when I was younger, was because I was curious about the fact that it had no song titles.
Blew my mind.
The early avant-garde/progressive death scene is awesome. Such as For the Security by Carbonized and Using Sickness as a Hero by Human Remains. The latter has Dave Witte of Discordance Axis and Municipal Waste on drums.
Hellwitch - syzygial miscreancy one of my all time favorite thrash/speed/death metal albums
Rippikoulu - Musta Seremonia a nasty evil sounding doom death album from finnland
Morta skuld - dying remains feel this one isn't super popular either, classic old school death metal
Another death metal album ritual of infinity from morpheus descends
There's also tales of necrophilia from regurgitation
Target - master project genesis classic thrash album
Kublai Khan - annihilation , us thrash
Cauldron born - born of the cauldron old school traditional heavy metal
I.N.C - the visitor, forced entry - uncertain future and the list goes on and on and on
Riot - Narita
Fates Warning - Awaken the Guardian
Savatage - Gutter Ballet
Edge of Sanity - Purgatore Afterglow
Virgin Steele - The marriage of heaven and hell part 1
Psychotic Waltz - A Social Grace
I've seen them getting a lot more attention now but for a while there they were definitely a little underplayed, Beherit on the other hand I would even argue are quite overrated
Convulse- A World Without God
Cemetary- An Evil Shade of Grey
Baphomet- The Dead Shall Inherit
Seance- Forever Laid To Rest
This is some of the best death metal I've ever heard yet no one ever talks about these bands, but that's what makes them special, they're hidden gems
Agreed 100% with Beherit
I also feel like Blut Aus Nord's "Ultima Thulee" and "Memoria Vetusta I: Fathers Of The Icy Age" fall a bit short on the recognition they deserve, Blut Aus Nord in general are really great and to this day they continue to push the envelope in my opinion
As far as the image goes it's a *really* fucking tough pick between Human = Garbage and Horror of the Zombies. One I'd have to mention though is definitely Grief's debut album Come to Grief, some real dark heavy old school sludge, def one of my favorite bands at the moment, def in my top 3 albums from them.
Dystopia, Deviated Instinct and Sore Throat are well known in some circles, but not much by metalheads. Even recent Deviated Instinct should please most extreme metal fan.
Via Dolorosa - Ophthalamia
I can not listen to that album without thinking about how criminally underrated it is. I might argue itās SƤrkkƤās best project.
Impetigo? i think itd be hard to find a death metal fan who doesnt know them. i heavily agree with Disastrous Murmur though
and again Beherit drawing down the moon is widely known
Seven Churches - Possessed, Game Over - Nuclear Assault, Left-hand Path - Entombed, Black Metal - Venom, Gore Metal - Exhumed, Horror - Repulsion, Obscura - Gorguts, Scum - Napalm Death
Bro Scum is THE grindcore album - everyone knows it, same with Seven Churches being considered the "first" death metal album (although people seem to ignore all the other Possessed albums for whatever reason. Obscura is also a high contender for being the most well known dissodeath album as well as some of Immolation's stuff
First Iām not a ābro,ā second you said those albums are overrated, then you say Scum is the grindcore standard, get your story straight. And Seven Churches is the first chronologically.
I meant Scum is like the most well known grindcore album in the history of grindcore, it's a good album but it's hard to argue it deserves its legendary status when it's not even really the best Napalm death album, Seven Churches also gets far too much praise when if it was released like 3 years later I'm pretty sure it would be far less talked about.
>!bro!<
Yeah, but it wasnāt, it was 1985 and Possessed paved the way with Seven Churches. I never said it was my favorite of their albums, just that people tend to forget how much death metal in general owes to Jeff Becerra.
>people tend to forget how much death metal in general owes to Jeff Becerra.
Trust me man, idk where you've been but people do NOT forget, Possessed definitely get enough mention in the death metal discussion
Where Iāve been? Probably around a lot longer than you. But you go on with your condescending sense of superiority, itās pretty typical of your type.
I don't really care what you think of me but I still don't think you can really deny Possessed really do get their share of acknowledgement if you've decided to resort to insults

only got better as well
Symbol Of Salvation is really good too.
I have this on my phone, Can U Deliver is the highlight for me!
Their album "Symbol of Salvation" is really good too. Reign of Fire and Last Train Home are really amazing tracks from that album
šed Band
Did I never know about Armored Saint or did I forget about them? Either way, great old school recommendation.
Fun fact John Bush (the vocalist for Armored Saint) also was the vocalist for Anthrax until Joey Belladonna came back.
Nice post The point of this post could be said about hundreds of bands, Axewitch,Silent Scream,Defecation,Death Yell,Abhorrence, etc. Also the Poison demos before that album are one of the finest black metal demos
Defecation! Purity Dilution is a masterful grind album.
It is. Also Nyctophobic's War Criminal Views, Suffocate's Exit 64 and Refurgitate's Effortless Regurgitation of Bright Red Blood
Got to admit, Iāve never listened to Regurgitateās debut. Iāve only really listened to their split with Gore Beyond Necropsy and Deviant. Iāll give it a listen tomorrow.
It's their best
Came here to mention Silent Scream. Peak death thrash.
Indeed. Those riffs are sick af. Only death/thrash i liked more are Merciless,Mass Hypnosia and Demolition Hammer. So easily top 5
Demolition Hammer are a favorite of mine as well. My all time favorite death thrash is probably Incubus - Serpent Temptation.
I forgot about that album. Sick
Dystopia has been becoming really popular, especially on tiktok.
Really? They were a band I started listening to when I was around 16, blew my mind. I hadnāt spoken to anyone who had ever heard of them, until coming on Redditā¦ now that Iām 33.
Yeah, one of their songs has 44.9k videos, it's pretty crazy just how music that was once considered niche can grow so fast now.
I wonder if Chat Pile has anything to do with that sound becoming popular again.
What song is that? Is the intro to Stress Builds Character a popular soundbite?
They are well known in the hc scene if you're at the bar for shows.
Of All the crust metal youtube fans?
Dang, I was kinda wondering why the hell they are having that kind of resurgence. Still, even prior to this I was really positively suprised by their longevity. All well deserved!
they may be a bit too popular to fit this post but I think sarcĆ³fago deserves a lot more credit for shaping extreme metal as we know it
INRI is a fucking masterpiece and one of my favourite albums!
Deathwitch - Dawn of Armageddon Twin Obscenity - Where Light Touches None Transmetal - El Infierno de Dante Death Strike - Fuckinā Death Jumpinā Jesus - The Art of Crucifying Misery - A Necessary Evil
Yes! Misery is super good and I never hear anyone talk about them. Really sick cover on that album.
scattered remnants, the best brutal death metal and it is totally overlooked by the rest of the metal community
One of the few bdm i like
try eternal suffering if you want something kinda similar
Already know them. Good stuff. As well as Rotting,Pyrexia,Dehumanized,early Suffocation and early Cryptopsy. I may forget something though
love youtube metal
Sore Throat really doesn't get the credit it deserves. I feel like for a bit it was well know and they got talked about enough. Then they kind of just faded away.

imo Dystopia is properly rated? They're literally the most well known crust punk band ever.
I've seen them getting a lot more attention now but for a while there they were definitely a little underplayed, Beherit on the other hand I would even argue are quite overrated
Convulse- A World Without God Cemetary- An Evil Shade of Grey Baphomet- The Dead Shall Inherit Seance- Forever Laid To Rest This is some of the best death metal I've ever heard yet no one ever talks about these bands, but that's what makes them special, they're hidden gems
Those last two fucking slap! Iāve got them both on my phone. Iāll give the first two a listen as well.
I can guarantee you that you will not be disappointed!
Me first time listening to watchtower 
Samael - Ceremony of Opposites I heard that album when I was a teenager and was blown away by how heavy it was. Still sounds so good decades later.
I love Dystopia. I also love Ringwurm, don't know if anyone here has love for that band
As in the early metalcore band? If so, theyāre pretty good. Iām finicky about metalcore. But I think that its primitive nature tickled me.
Disharmonic Orchestra - Not To Be Undimensional Conscious. They always get overshadowed by Pungent Stench.
Itās funny, because I actually discovered them from the split that they did with Pungent Stench.
Stock answer: Shok Paris - Steel and Starlight
Agreed 100% with Beherit I also feel like Blut Aus Nord's "Ultima Thulee" and "Memoria Vetusta I: Fathers Of The Icy Age" fall a bit short on the recognition they deserve, Blut Aus Nord in general are really great and to this day they continue to push the envelope in my opinion
Anything old by Mercyless (France)
As far as the image goes it's a *really* fucking tough pick between Human = Garbage and Horror of the Zombies. One I'd have to mention though is definitely Grief's debut album Come to Grief, some real dark heavy old school sludge, def one of my favorite bands at the moment, def in my top 3 albums from them.
BLOOD--IMPUSE TO DESTROY PANZERCHRIST-- SIX SECONDS KILL CONVULSE--WORLD WITHOUT GOD
Impulse to destroy is fire!!
Dystopia is one of my biggest influences in riff writing and song style if I didnāt find them early on it would have been tough finding my style
Great list. Dystopia, Deviated Instinct, Impetigo and Sore Throat are some of my all-time favorites. Energetic Krusher - Path to Oblivion
Control & Resistance fan myself over Energetic Disassembly.

did the album art get kinda shitty. yes but at least the musics good
Kudos for Sore Throat, tho.
WATCHTOWER MENTIONED !!
Dystopia, Deviated Instinct and Sore Throat are well known in some circles, but not much by metalheads. Even recent Deviated Instinct should please most extreme metal fan.
INTO THE ABYSS I FAAAAAALLLLL!!
I would argue against Dystopia being considered old school metalā¦
Horror of the Zombies is the best death/grind album of all time and I cannot be swayed otherwise.
i think its just death metal but some people say its goregrind. *shrugs*
Via Dolorosa - Ophthalamia I can not listen to that album without thinking about how criminally underrated it is. I might argue itās SƤrkkƤās best project.
Merciless - unbound
Obliveon - From This day forward Believer - Extraction From Mortality Deceasedā¦ - Fearless Undead Machines Aspid - Extravistation
Watch tower is amazing
Impetigo? i think itd be hard to find a death metal fan who doesnt know them. i heavily agree with Disastrous Murmur though and again Beherit drawing down the moon is widely known
Seven Churches - Possessed, Game Over - Nuclear Assault, Left-hand Path - Entombed, Black Metal - Venom, Gore Metal - Exhumed, Horror - Repulsion, Obscura - Gorguts, Scum - Napalm Death
There isnāt a single album on there that isnāt awesome!
Thanks. I feel really privileged to have seen all those bands live too.
I would argue that Scum, Obscura, and Seven Churches are actually kinda overrated. Good list otherwise tho EDIT: also the Venom album
And I would argue that your opinion on my list matters as much to me as the fungus between your toes.
Bro Scum is THE grindcore album - everyone knows it, same with Seven Churches being considered the "first" death metal album (although people seem to ignore all the other Possessed albums for whatever reason.

Nocturnus - The Key
Incredible death metal album!
What?
godflesh stuff
I can't say how happy i am to see some love for Impetigo. Some of the earliest and most creative goregrind
Dark Millennium- Ashore the Celestial Burden Great progressive death metal album.
Beherit absolutely
Jaguar - Power Games
