"Spheres" is very good but they pretty much abandoned death metal on this one. "Testimony Of The Ancients" is their last real death album and I think it's their best. Tony Choy of Atheist/Cynic played bass on that one. It's unfortunate they split up after only a few albums, very underrated band.

"How will I laugh tomorrow (when I can't even smile today)". Good album too, and the commercial follow up 'Art of Rebellion' is not bad.

Lucas,you really think L,C,R is Suicidal Tendencies best album?

IMO their best would be Join the Army.

Never heard of Disharomic Orchestra but if they're anywhere near as brilliant as those other three, I'm in for a treat.

Okay, so "black metal" is perhaps a bit of a misnomer, its more like, uh, ambient, neo-classical, um, metal, uh, with, um... whatever, it's still good!

Er, I only have "The Ultra-Violence".  I know, "POSER ALERT!!!"  I'll get around to finding it, though.

Check out Death's Live in LA album.  Very raw and powerful, I prefer it to their studio work. 

And definately get some DragonForce, even if just for Herman Li's insane guitar pyrotechnics.

I forgot to mention Doom-Metal my favourite style.

yoou can check www.doom-metal.com since its the authority.

For Traditional Doom:
Pentagram (US) started out the same time as Sabbath
Solitude Aeternus (Rob Lowe is an incredible vocalist)
Candlemass (The Doom Gods)
Reverend Bizarre (Heavier and more sarcastic than most Trad Doom Bands. Crazy Finns )
Trouble (Very good musically but extremely preachy christian metal though)
Cathedral (essential band regardless of style they're playing)
Goat Snake-Essentially blues based Metal. One of the millions of projects involving the great Stephen O'Malley and Greg Anderson


Stoner
Electric Wizard
Sleep (sounded like Sabbath clones until they did Jerusalem/Dopesmoker. A 52/60 minute single track epic)
YOB (Weird vocals but very heavy)

Doom-Death:
Winter (started it all)
Disembowelment (faster than most Doom bands. Very atmospheric)
My Dying Bride (essential)
Anathema, Katatonia and Paradise Lost (early stuff is essential for these 3 bands. Katatonia is the only one worth listening to now as PLst are 10th Depeche Mode ripoffs and Anathema are 5th Radiohead ripoffs)
The Prophecy-Modern Doom Death with lots of variation in the songwriting and harmonic guitar leads. One of the more exciting bands to listen to.
Dusk (underrated and obscure, but very good)
Aphotic (Ibid. More dissonant than Dusk)
Morgion (one of my favourite bands, now sadly disbanded. But the last 2 albums they did (Solinair and Cloaked by Ages...) are amazing

Funeral Doom
Skepticism-listen to this at your funeral
Unholy-Very weird and hard to listen to
Esoteric-one of the most incredible listening experiences of any genre awaits you with these misanthropic Brits
Thergothon-Finnish fathers of the genre. Very underproduced and ugly sounding. Fhtgan Nagh Yog Sothoth indeed
Until Death Overtakes Me-More charming funeral music. A bit too repetitive at times however

Drone
Earth-Fathers of the genre
Sunn O)))- Started out as a Earth (!) homage, now evolved into something more interesting. Another of O'Malley's bands
Khanate-This is sick music, very challenging. Another of O'Malley's bands. Check out Burning Witch first as its among the same lines but older and therefore less challening.
Trollman Av Ildtopberg-Haunting

I always thought this album was a tad bit overrated...  it is sloppy and a lot of the songs tend to run on into each other.  In my opinion, Dark Angel hit their peak with the technical and complex masterpiece, Time Does Not Heal, which some days I would even swear is the best thrash album ever written.

For death if you're a fan of prog is sacriligious to ignore Athiest's Unquestionable Prescence. Very proggy and Jazzy. Try to get the reissue.

Immolation, Cryptopsy, Gorguts, Death and Morbid Angel I heartily endorse.

I didn't like the new Nile album because it soundedl ike all the albums they'd done before.

Power Metal: I find most power metal to be nothing but 5th rate Iron Maiden ripoffs so the 2 bands I reccommend to you are Virgin Steele (very epic concept albums) and Manilla Road (who coined the term Epic Metal)

and Manowar are worth it for the pure cheese factor.

Thrash: Death Angel (technical as f**k!)

Dark Angel-Darkness Descends (makes Reign in Blood sound like the Beatles)

Black Metal:
Enslaved: This band has been progressive their entire career and they're no longer BM really

Nargaroth-Herbsleytd. One of the greatest BM releases ever.

Emperor: Everything up to Anthems... After this I stopped listening to them but if all you care about is technicality over songwriting, then the more recent stuff you will like.

Inquisition: Into The Infernal REgions of the Ancient Cult. This album really reminds me of the atmosphere I felt when I fearst heard stuff like De Mysteriis... and Nargaroth.

Forgotten Woods: Mistakenly labelled as Burzum rip-offs. Very epic compositions

Limbonic Art-Moon in the Scorpio. One of the very few "symphonic" BM albums that doesn't suck goat excrement.

If you want more recommendations, I *ahem* reccomend you listen to my radio show friday nights

- btw, your suggestions are so UN-TRUE .. Mayhem is totally mainstream . I'd recommend something totally UG like Infernum's Taur-nu-fuin or Clandestine Blaze's Fist of the Northern Destroyer.

No, but seriously.. the 5 essential (but not the best .. ) black metal albums are as follows..

Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger
Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse
Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
Satyricon - Nemesis Divina
Ulver - Nattens Madrigal

Good suggestions - although first get well acquainted with Emperor, Mayhem, Satyricon etc. and THEN ONLY get Darkthrone and Ulver's "Nattens Madrigal" (really uncompromising stuff, maybe a bit too uncompromising)

And everyone, sorry for not responding earlier, I had some major issues with the Internet over the last few days and couldn't even log out!
