ANOTHER LIST TO ARGUE ABOUT

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009 at 10:30am by

noisecreep-logo1Noisecreep have unveiled their list of the Top 10 Death Metal Debut Albums (although the list is in no particular order), courtesy Friend of MetalSucks, Carlos Ramirez.

And for once, I don’t actually have any complaints. The list is pretty good.

That being said, I’m sure you folks will find something to bitch about, so… have at it!!!

    No need to argue. They actually didn’t fail at it. These are good bands with good albums. :)

  • Sacajawea

    I only have three of those albums so I can’t do much arguing. The three I have do belong in there though, so that’s good.

  • TWOAF

    The list seems about right.

  • Julian

    Not a bad list, just missing Like an Ever Flowing Stream.

  • Zombie(really)

    List seems fine with me.

  • lkgf09

    what about Altars of Madness? No love for Morbid Angel. Besides that awesome list.

  • CarlosRamirez

    ‘Altars of Madness’ is not Morbid Angel’s debut album. That would actually be ‘Abominations of Desolation.’

  • bob

    Um no…

    Abominations of Desolation is a series of demos that came out in 1991. Altars is their debut full length album, newb.

    This list is cool but Immolation is terrible. Switch them out with Altars.

    • Brock

      You called someone a “newb”. That makes you awesome in internet land.

      • 20 eyes

        haha and he started with “um no..”
        that just sounds snobby.

        i missed the debut part as well. after all its just one little ass word.

  • CarlosRamirez

    Hey Bob,

    First off, I’m definitely not a “newb” dude. I have played in 2 bands with Dave Witte….doesn’t that count for anything?! haha

    Secondly. ‘Abominations of Desolation’ is definitely their first album. They just didn’t like it so it went unreleased for a few years before Earache Records put it out. Mike Browning of Nocturnus was the singer at the time.

  • 36thoughtless

    Seems fine, except no love for Morbid Angel

  • http://www.crescentshield.com Dan

    No Possessed. Fail.

    • iolanach

      Yup, that’s probably the most obvious miss. Other then that, is pretty good. I guess.

      • Joe

        Uhhhh it’s hard to call an album a debut when the first is their only death metal album, as Beyond the Gates is more or less German thrash (but I dig it anyway.)

  • myke

    whats with all the morbid angel hating on that list and no cannibal corpse or even any early carcass come on dude why are you hating!!!!

    • Zombie(really)

      Umm, Cannibal corpse WAS on the list…..

      • metalguy

        and carcass was more grind related when they started

        • Mike

          Not to mention Carcass arn’t American

          • Brock

            Wait, I agree with Carcass being in the grind category, but what does them not being American have anything to do with?

          • myke

            i guess im a retard and read it too fast…lol

  • ashley

    This sucks. I can’t bitch about anything on that list. As far as death metal goes it’s looking pretty good!

  • Mancubus

    Where the FUCK are Alters of Madness, Like an Everflowing Stream, Focus, or Peace of Time? Not one of them got mentioned. WTF?

    • CarlosRamirez

      Altars is NOT Morbid Angel’s debut album. Read the comments above.

  • http://lordsofmetal.nl/index.php?lang=en Cavorka

    Waaaait a minute……where the fuck is PENETRALIA???

  • Mike

    Pesonally I qould have added Cryptopsy, but that’s just me.

  • SonOF

    Good list. I would have added Dismember’s Like an Everflowing Stream (which many people mentioned) and Opeth’s Orchid (although I know that album isn’t death metal in the strictest sense).

  • Malacoda

    Good list.

  • justin

    yup. solid list. i would probably throw “conforming…” by cephalic carnage on my personal list, but otherwise there are no complaints or criticisms.

  • Tim

    A suprisingly well-thought out and complete list. It’s awesome they included Incantation, Onward to Golgotha never gets the credit it deserves for being one of the heaviest, evilest metal albums ever.

  • THE CARL

    Ironically I am a huge death metal fan but apparently not a fan enough considering i have none of those albums. This is one of those rare articles that really opened my eyes. I mean who knew Dark Throne was a more death metal oriented band before they pretty much wrote the book on black metal?

    Great article!

    • Tim

      I got Soulside Journey in ’92 in a tape trade with my friend Eric. I got that and he got Megadeth’s So Far, So Good, So What? It was probably another seven or eight years before I listened to another Darkthrone album. At the time it didn’t compare to Carnage, Entombed, Grave, Dismember, Unleashed, Hypocrisy. Who knew it would be so well regarded nearly twenty years later?

  • Brock

    Pretty good list.

  • Whittemore

    Missing Seven Churches by Possessed
