He said no cheesy power metal or brutal death...bit of a mistake as both of those can be a lot of fun, but his loss...He also wrote of grindcore...
You have some death metal on there...if you haven't already gotten them illegally yet then get:
Behemoth - Demigod - Borders on brutal death, but it's not
Bloodbath - Nightmares Made Flesh -
Vital Remains - Dechristianize - Kinda brutal, but I bet you'll dig it
For the more melodic death:
In Flames - The Jester Race, Subterranean
At The Gates - Slaughter Of The Soul, With Fear I Kiss The Burning Darkness
Dark Tranquility - The Gallery
All fuckin' brilliant albums
Not so much brilliant as just kickass - Amon Amarth - Once Sent From The Golden Hall
For miscellaneous subgenres of death metal get:
Orphaned Land - Mabool - mix of death metal, melodic death, and Middle Eastern folk music
Amorphis - Tales From The Thousand Lakes - great stuff
And then you'll also want to get old school death metal - Morbid Angel, Death, Obituary, Entombed, etc...
I noticed Damageplan on there, but I forgive you.
Now, other essential albums:
Emperor - In The Nightside Eclipse, Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk
Bathory - Under The Sign Of The Black Mark, Hammerheart
Metallica - First four
Megadeth - Peace Sells, Rust In Peace
Slayer - Reign In Blood, South Of Heaven
Testament - The Legacy, The New Order, Practice What You Preach
Iron Maiden - Everything pre-90's, Brave New World (
)
Judas Priest - Sad Wings Of Destiny, British Steel, Screaming For Vengeance, Painkiller
Mayhem - De Mysteris Dom Satanas, Deathcrush - not essential unless you dig black metal
Venom - Black Metal, Welcome To Hell - shitty but tons of fun
Motorhead - First 8 or so, probably, but they all kick ass
I'm stopping here because I could go on forever, but I'm lazy. So I've definitely omitted a whole bunch of things. But then, unless you recently robbed a bank my guess is it'll take you a while to get through these.
This should cover most of the basics. Now, if you've pirated 400+ albums, you must have at least some of these. If you've been a good little boy and deleted them, you don't anymore. Regardless, these are mostly albums you'll want to own on CD, because you'll play them again and again, lend them to friends, and sleep with them under your pillow.
