    No, this isn't another stupid survey topic where you can name what's in your CD player now and pretend it's exceptional. This is a list of -- according to one metal think tank -- the best art produced by underground death metal and black metal genres. Feel free to bitch, but we're not including your friend's CD-R band or that grindcore-with-a-flute failure you purchased last week. Each album in this listing is available for download at the links below.

    1. Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
    2. Immortal - Pure Holocaust
    3. Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse
    4. Darkthrone - Transylvanian Hunger

    I think that one of the best and most influential was master of puppets by metallica.

    i highly recommend "kingdom of dis"...a small studio project operating in mesa, arizona.

    some friends of mine are in this band, and it is probably the most professional sounding unsigned band i have ever heard.

    check it out on myspace (no, im not advertising.)

    How is Emperor or Immortal underground, they're one of the most popular and best metal bands ever,
    every metal child knows them.

    p.s. Ildjarn "Forest poetry" album should be in the list.
     
  8. honestly i feel like on the death metal list they should change the at the gates record to slaughter of the soul, and maybe throw cannibal corpse - butchered at birth on there for having ushered in the whole era of american death metal. other than that not a bad list.

    charles,

    i always saw "the bleeding" as THE definitive album of cannibal corpse. faaar more technical than "butchered at birth", in my opinion. i admit, i am biased though. "the bleeding" was the album where alex webster's presence was finally moved into the forefront of the actual sound.

    just my opinion though

    "butchered" was the more groundbreaking album in america, i admit.

    "Effigy of the Forgotten" is the best Cannibal Corpse album.
     
  11. yeah, i dont disagree with you, it might just be that butchered at birth was when i really got interested in them, and i always forget about a lot of the other stuff they did. plus butchered is the one that i think probably had the greater influence on bands playing death metal today, even if the bleeding was more tech.

    Oh, the shame. We knew it was coming though. Almost all metal bands sell out (exceptions: Burzum, Havohej, Beherit and all that broke up early).
     

  15. if only because of that thrones of blood song. i saw them like a year ago. it was awesome.

    blind guardian for sure!!!

    one of my fondest adolescent memories is going to an amusement park, dropping acid and slapping on a blind guardian cd while whipping through the air on a rollercoaster!!

    nightwish? um...nah ill pass

    Very good list, I must say, although not underground at all. I was kind of hoping for a lot of stuff I hadn't already heard
