Title says it all. Ineligible because of the (sub)genre specificity, but I post them just to keep 'em around as usual. I'd like to say again that I've scraped the bottom of the lists I found on the Web but recent history has been disastrous to me in that regard, so I don't want to jinx myself again.
Lists found here:

Re: Decibel Magazine Top 100 Death + Black Metal Albums of All Time (2012-2013)
I've never heard it and I'd probably hate it, but Tomb of the Mutilated is a damn striking name for an album. Probably going to at least be a bubbler.

Good point. But seriously, some of those here give Twisted Sister a run for their money.StevieFan13 wrote:Funny enough, no matter how gruesome these covers get, nothing's gonna creep me out more than Stay Hungry.Pierre wrote:Yeah, I think it has enough points for that now.

Some of these sound like fake names for metal albums, like names a TV show writer who's never actually heard metal would think they'd be called. Altars of Madness, Slaughter of the Soul, Realm of Chaos...
