Death Is Only The Beginning (Of This List)

This is a list of all the death metal albums I have listened to that I thought were at all worth remembering. Like my other genre lists, this is just a record of my own listening experience that I use for personal organization, not a definitive account of the best or all of the death metal out there; there will probably be albums or bands that are not death metal in the strictest sense. You'll find some OSDM, melodeath, tech death, death-doom, maybe a bit of deathcore, I don't know. Maybe some non-death metal albums by death metal bands that I put in here just because.

1.Death - The Sound Of Perseverance
2.Death - Symbolic
3.At The Gates - With Fear I Kiss The Burning Darkness
4.At The Gates - Slaughter Of The Soul
5.Amon Amarth - With Oden On Our Side

2016: Accounting For The Top Releases

Last year I was a little late to the party...busy studying for a professional exam and all. This year I thought I would try and stay on top of a list and hopefully follow it through to the end. I'm going to limit the list to anything I would rate 7 and up. Overall on this site my ratings are fairly favourable, because I try to stick to genres and bands I know I will like.

1.Asphalt Graves - The New Primitive
2.Vektor - Terminal Redux
3.Grave Miasma - Endless Pilgrimage
4.Lycus - Chasms
5.Glorior Belli - Sundown (The Flock That Welcomes)

1.Cult Of Luna - Mariner [Collaboration]
2.Fallujah - Dreamless
3.Moonsorrow - Jumalten Aika
4.Death Grips - The Bottomless Pit

Expanded MS 2016 Top 20

One of source of entertainment in the couple of months since I've joined MS has been watching albums careen up and down the 2015 top 20. I thought it might be interesting to compile a list of every album that shows up on the 2016 top 20 list at any point during the year (modulo how often I'm actually able to observe the list) along with some statistics. Ranking on this list is ordered by peak rank, then last date at that rank, then end of year rank.

1.Insomnium - Winter's Gate
2.Trees Of Eternity - Hour Of The Nightingale
3.Aenaon - Hypnosophy
4.Dark Tranquillity - Atoma
5.Anaal Nathrakh - The Whole Of The Law
