Don't know that forum, but looking at that list I guess it's not the kind of place you'd want to be saying you enjoy Pantera :laugh: :abbath:
The two most recent ones are bands ive been meaning to check out!
...
Personally, I'd go for the previous Malokarpatan but all 3 are widely acclaimed.

Nah, everything goes on there really.
It's a decent list if it's solely for underground/black/death, but if it's just for metal/rock/heavy music in general it's a bit biased.
I mean, Mental Funeral is a great album, but I don't think it would even make top 10 of the best albums that came out that year.
Their tastes obviously aren't going to be towards the mainstream of metal but you'd be hard pressed to find a better metal/rock album that came out in 2004 than Leviathan too.
I'm 100% on board with Mental Funeral being in the top spot. Pretty sure I voted for Leviathan in 2004. Twasn't to be. It's a poll on an underground forum that was specifically metal. The 70's poll is open to everything.

Quite a troo list.
Can't argue with years 92 to 97.
I like lists like these, am always at least 5 years behind if not more so it's good for picking up decent albums. I use the Terroriser albums of the year lists a lot.

Very much so. A tad pretentious even.
Ah, ye poor things. Hahahah.
Hard to argue with that list except with de Mysteriis . I'd have Transylvanian Hunger in its place.
Great list of albums, but very few I'd have as the best to come out of a particular year

As I said, doesn't seem a forum that'd take kindly to someone saying they enjoy a bit of Pantera :laugh:
Nah, it's good to have a full on tr00 kvlt best of list. I'll definitely get some use out of it, few things there I've never really bothered with... interested to see whether Grand Belial's Key genuinely deserve two number 1 spots, for example!
What about a list of the single best album of any genre between the mentioned years? Any genre? Yeah fuck it, to the off topic with me for the first time ever. The list is a bit narrow for me but as mentioned it's from a forum.
It's a good forum. Definitely leans heavily into the underground which works for me, but there's also room for other stuff too.
It's a good forum
Very deep underground/kult alright
You'd pick up a lot from it
I need to go through that list over the next few weeks
Probably a few gems in there

Judeobeast assassination is a great album. although i don't know if it's Aoty worth even if I cant think if anything from '01 thats deserve that spot.
Well, on a slightly less underground forum, Lateralus would appear at least in the top 10 for 2001. Not an amazing year for underground metal though, by all accounts, but there was Emperor's Prometheus, which would have made my top 5 at least for that year.
There's threads on every type of music, generally without any issue, on RoD and it's active.
Ya, Judeobeast Assassination is a belter of an album, I remember listening to Kosherat when it came out but I haven't given it much time since then.
