GMD Poll: Top 10 Metal Albums of 1986

[Krow]

1. Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
2. Sodom - Obsessed by Cruelty
3. Motorhead - Orgasmatron
4. Sepultura - Morbid Visions
5. King Diamond - Fatal Portrait
6. Crimson Glory - Crimson Glory
7. Slayer - Reign in Blood
8. Cirith Ungol - One Foot in Hell
9. Kreator - Pleasure to Kill
10. Vulcano - Bloody Vengeance


Chose to only use albums I'm still actively listening to. Metallica and Megadeth surely have plenty of votes already anyway.

reminder that this tune was from 1986:


i know i pimp this all the time but mein gott it's good, can stand up to anything from this year. the rest of this album ain't bad, in fact the b-side is generally very good, but this is the jawdropper.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

hahaha i think i may just ignore that one

aw cmon man, i actually like his list. I say we keep it unless there's solid proof he's an alt. I just read through the 4 messages he has and im not sure what to think. And i can smell alts from a mile away.

honestly it reads more like someone pasted cliché username's list as a template (2 to 7 is identical and half of those albums are too obscure for it to be coincidence) and forgot to change half of them lol. but then the weird spam ad in the sig makes me think some shenanigans are afoot.

Emerald used to be one of my favorite USPM releases but I got tired of it for whatever reason. I don't remember any of the stuff off the top of my head, but my autistic list puts We Attack on top followed closely by Winds of Doom.

 

[CiG]

You're all maniacs, Darkness Descends fucking rules.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Anyone mentioned this yet?

 

[no country for old wainds]

nobody voted for it, which i'm not that surprised about, but it used to have a decent following around here. it's a weird ass album iirc, kinda goofy but has its moments. they're p much the only nwobhm band i know of from norwich, where i used to live.

we cant even get The Deluge to appear on most lists let alone that strange fucking album

GMD's Top Ten Metal Albums of 1986
10) Darkness Descends by Dark Angel
The time for destruction is now...

If innocuous records like those Dark Angel, Testament and Violence records are really some of the best cuts that thrash metal has to offer, then that's a sad state of affairs.

Dark Angel? You said that about Dark Angel. You can eat my poo. We are not friends

9) Born Too Late by Saint Vitus
They say my songs are much too slow, but they don't know the things I know...

Re: What music did you listen to before metal?

I came out of my mother's womb with a PBR in my hand and Saint Vitus "Born Too Late" blasting so, nothing.

8) The Deluge by Manilla Road
Oh can't you see? The Magik is inside of thee...

We all know that either Fates Warning or Manilla Road will win so why even bother with this list?

Holy shit man, where do you get those fucking quotes? I don't even remember saying that.

 

[-CC-]

No country setting the goddamn standard for posting results of a poll

 

[EspaDa]

born too late should have ended up much higher tho

 

[CiG]

Eh, as long as it's in there I'm happy.

You're such an asshole! At least give me credit for being willing to change my mind with repeat listens.

7) Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? by Megadeth
If there's a new way I'll be the first in line, but it better work this time...

6) Pleasure to Kill by Kreator
My only aim is to take many lives, the more the better I feel!

German thrash metal in general is a bit shit really, don't get what all the fuss is about.
