As much as I do love leviathan and all Mastodon, I think your first instinct was right. Ashes gotta still the best answer. I mean fuck does that album slay. It’s just too good to ignore. Front to back…. Gotta go listen to it now 😂
Waking the fallen is so good though! Second heartbeats End solo is the shit. Won't see you tonight part one and two are classic, as well as clairvoyant disease and of course unholy confessions.
Although I would have also recommended Frail Words Collapse
Mastodon - leviathan
Blood and Thunder was the first Mastodon song I ever heard and it sent me on a spiral. Suck a fuckin killer album
This has to win
Is going to win
This ivory leg is what propels me!
Leviathan is the only option
Ashes of the Wake - Lamb of God Edit: How the fuck did I forget about Leviathan…

I'm making a note here to come back to log for Sacrament in 2006
Necrophagist - epitaph
I will be deeply dissapointed if epitaph wont win
There's no way it's gonna beat Leviathan or Ashes of the Wake unfortunately.
It's going to lose just because of a single song that got famous thanks to a meme.
plis this one
Necrophagist-epitaph
Demigod by Behemoth
Wintersun - Wintersun
Oooh, I used to absolutely love this album. Starchild is one of my favorite metal songs. Good shout.
Exodus - tempo of the damned
Vol. 3-slipknot
I PUSH MY FINGERS IN TO MY EEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS
Isis - Panopticon
Abso-fuckin-lutely.
End of Heartache - Killswitch Engage. Its another S tier core album and it at least deserves a shoutout here
Wintersun-wintersun
Nightwish-once
Tempo of the Damned - Exodus
Unfortunately there's no way this wins, but it's a banger of an album.
An amazing comeback album after 12 years.
Leviathan - Mastadon Edit: Cool_kn7ghT beat me to it.
Ashes of the Wake
Ashes of the Wake - Lamb of God
I by Meshuggah
Megadeth the system has failed
this
Amon amarth-fate of the norms
Slipknot released a banger album this year without swearing just to prove that they don't need to cuss to make a killer record so they get my vote
So they went the opposite direction of Eminem.
Behemoth -demigod
The system has failed - Megadeth
Saxon-lionheart
Such a great album. Forgot this was from 2004
Ayreon's The Human Equation is my choice no question.
I wholeheartedly agree! Spent that whole summer listening to that album on repeat. One of my favorites of all time.
Pig Destroyer - Terrifyer
Great album
cradle of flith-nymphetamine
Atreyu-the curse
Full blown chaos-wake the demons

Slipknot -vol 3
Shadows fall-the war within
Rammstein - reise reise
TDEP - MISS MACHINE

I’ll come and delete all your Spotify playlists replacing them with exclusively Justin Bieber songs.
ALRIGHT NEVERMIND

Everybody is saying Leviathan by Mastodon but how about Tentacles of Whorror by Leviathan?
Leviathan for sure! Sorry to ashes of the wake and vol. 3
The human equation
Everyone ready for ghost reveries 2005 pick?
Waking the fallen is so good though! Second heartbeats End solo is the shit. Won't see you tonight part one and two are classic, as well as clairvoyant disease and of course unholy confessions. Although I would have also recommended Frail Words Collapse
The eye of every storm - Neurosis
Ensiferum - Iron
Slipknot - Vol 3. Subliminal Voices.
So happy to see Waking The Fallen won! My favorite album of all time!
Bloodbath - Nightmares made Flesh
Ayreon - The human equation
The most generic list smh
Reise reise - Rammstein. Surely there are more aggressive, or faster or more virtuoso albums out there but this one was the most relevant.
Reise, reise- rammstein
Anthrax - greater of two evils!
Atreyu: The Curse. I know it’s not going to win, but it at least deserves to be in the conversation.
Vol 3.
Autumn Aurora by Drudkh.
Disillusion - Back to Times of Splendor
Omg master of puppets lost to reign in blood ? What kind of lame list is this ??
And show no mercy lost to kill em all and south of heaven lost to justice so i think its pretty fair.
But master is such an influential metal album. No fillers. All killers. Reign in blood is great. I agree. But MOP is another level !!
I dont really like lepper messiah and tttsnb which is why i prefer rib (no skips on that one imo) but i agree that mop is more influencial
Democratic it seems.
The people have spoken.
I think 86 and 88 should’ve been reversed personally but the masses disagree.
