Blood Mountain - Mastodon
A hell of a good album, by far my favorite from Mastodon. I bought this album over 2 years ago and I still play it weekly on my daily commute
Fav track - Sleeping giant
From Mars to Sirius - Gojira
One of the heaviest albums Ive ever heard. I love it, the rhythm is amazing. Its heavy but its also good, not like that shit from Bring Me The Horizon which is just heavy for the sake of being heavy. I say probs to this band, France finally has something they can be proud of. lmao
Fav track - Ohhh god, sooo hard to choose. Fuck it just listen to the whole album, its solid gold.
Cynic - Focus
ohhh yess, i know this is an old one, but its a good one. Defiantly played a big step in the popularization of Prog metal. It's well worth a listen, even if it does sound a little dated. It'll grow on you :]
fav Track - How Could I
In the absence of Truth - Isis
Now alot of people will probably disagree with me, putting this up over oceanic or panopticon. Idk really, this one just really grew on me. I love how isis' songs slowly build up to like some intense peak of awesomeness. It's a shame they broke up, which reminds me, my ex and i broke up the day they broke up. Talk about a double helping of shittiness.
Fav track - its a toss up between "Dulcinea" and "garden of light"
Deliverance - Opeth
Arguably Opeth's best album, and it's also their heaviest. Its was released along with Damnation as a double album. Damnation being their softest. Id say it's well worth a listen
Fav track - Master's Apprentices
I think Mastodon is the shit. They're from here in the dirty south!
ReplyDeleteBlood mountain was insane, great picks :)
ReplyDeleteI saw mastadon in concert in Dallas, they melted my face off!
ReplyDeleteI'm lacking some metal in my life, this sounds like a good list to start.
ReplyDeleteI like Oceanic, but that Isis one was pretty good as well
ReplyDeleteNice read. Can't wait for more from you.
ReplyDeleteMetal isn't really my thing, but this was interesting to read.
ReplyDeleteMaston is a pretty cool dude... eh has horns and he doesn't afraid of anyone...
ReplyDeletethat 3 headed deer thing looks like something that would haunt me in the nightmares for all of the deer my family have killed... /FEAR
ReplyDeleteIf theres one thing I really love about metal is the album covers
ReplyDeleteI like the album covers. Especially Goljira's.
ReplyDeleteI'd add gwar to this just for kicks, supporting you
