    The Unreal Never Lived - YOB

    BUY @ amazon
  2. 2

    Uncertain Future - Forced Entry

    9.4
    Before the term "grunge" became a catch-all slogan to describe any Alice In Chains or Pearl Jam rip-off, Seattle was first and foremost a Heavy Metal town. Mountlake Terrace thrashers, Forced Entry, should have been up there with the Big Four (Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax). In fact, they were better than two of those four - much better. I'll leave it up to you to figure out who I mean, but their names rhyme with Smegadeth and Banthrax. These guys were like a combination of "Ride the Lightning" era Metallica and "Dimension Hatross" era Voivod. Sad that they never made it past their second full-length album, "As Above, So Below", which is easily as good as this one, their debut.
    BUY @ amazon
  3. 3

    Born Again - Black Sabbath

    9.3
    The "forgotten" Sab album. This is the one after Dio left and Ian Gillan of Deep Purple stepped in. Highly underrated and undeservedly obscure. Highlights include "Zero the Hero", "Disturbing the Priest" and the atmospheric title track. Sadly, Gillan departed after this one phenomenal album.
    BUY @ amazon
  4. 4

    Demon Entrails - Hellhammer

    9.1
    More a legend than a band (I think I ripped that off from The Flatlanders), Tom G. Warrior of Celtic Frost first groaned and moaned about killing, raping and puking in the name of Satan in the band Hellhammer under the name "Satanic Slaughter". Wretchedly underproduced and incredibly grating on the ears - and I mean that in a GOOD way. Seek it out IMMEDIATELY. Play it for your mom!
    BUY @ amazon
  5. 5

    Beyond the Permafrost - Skeletonwitch

    9.1
    Blackened Death-Thrash? Whatever. Call it what you will, this is the new guard of Metal and it rules. Fast, loud and scary.
    BUY @ amazon

    "....and its not to hard to be better than Anhtrax."
    No, it's not, Chris. You just need to learn how to play, how to write great songs and albums, and how to freakin' spell. Anthrax is the name of the band!

    Sorry but Smegadeth doesnt rhyme with Metallica, and its not to hard to be better than Anhtrax. Just gotta be good. Anthraxs okay. Megadeth, however, is Godly. Slayer is amazing, and Metallicas... overrated but good in their own way. And Forced Entry is awesome, thanks for the list.



    Yeah Im reposting this because I hate being that annonymous p***k everyone hates and I forgot to type in my name.

    Voivod is indeed just about the most underrated band of alltime. And you, kind sir, have just turned me on to Embodiment. (tho i disagree on that lame Witch, just so you don't think i'm an asskisser).

    Never heard of this album - but a Faith No More, Melvins connections sounds pretty dopetastic.

    great, great list, shocked that i've never even heard of half these bands, has given me plenty of grist for piling thru emusic to check out new stuff.

    totally dig this totally unheard record, and on first listen like the self-released one from this year. i did see them live once at sxsw and was sadly disappointed.

    totally agree this is a thick, unique record, tho it sold OK at the time (they did a long tour of the US), it has been totally forgotten. not a bad track. the only negative was the wack version of Smoke on the Water they played on that tour as an encore, which was like my 2nd or 3rd concert ever. Gillan played bongos constantly on stage, that was pretty unique.

today on Ranker
