a bands best album or song?

After The Burial - In Dreams

I've got to hard counter with Wolves Within.
In Dreams was a great album, don't get me wrong. But Wolves seemed to just take the great parts of In Dreams and the great parts of Rareform, smash them together, and then run it through one of my personal favorite mixes of all time. I know the production of that album is controversial but I love it.

Every After The Burial album is good but Rareform is by far their best IMO. There's hasn't been a more perfect mix of melodic metalcore riffs and heavy ass grooves since that album came out.

Alice in Chains - Facelift

I have a hard time identifying my favorite song on that one, it varies every time I listen. "Love, Hate, Love" is a perfect example of sick lyrics and vocals.

testament - the legacy (album)

prob get some flak for this one, but i stand by my decision. although the production could have been better, they did great for the time.

song for song the best album they have put out imho

 

[Ebony]

Morbid Angel - God of Emptiness

I can't decide between Covenant and Domination so I'll just nominate my favorite song.

 

[ThePhilosopher]

Textures - Dualism

 

[Ordacleaphobia]

Textures - Dualism

Haha, oh wow.
I just listened to that album on my commute to work today for the first time in years and thought "damn, I forgot how great this album was."

The Faceless - Akeldama (the song)

Triple hard counter that dig deep is their best album. I guess it's a good sign if you have a hard time deciding what a band's best effort is.

Thrice - The Earth Will Shake (song)

TBDM - Nocturnal

Easy peasy

Agreed w/ Pierced

 

[MikeNeal]

Between the Buried and Me - Colors

An absolute masterpiece in modern prog metal.

While colors is a great album, the silent circus is the best btbam album

Thrice - The Earth Will Shake (song)

just checked out that song on yt.

pretty good, going to check out more their stuff...thanks for posting

TBDM - Nocturnal

Easy peasy

Personally I'd go with Ritual, Nocturnal and Everblack are tied for a close second place for me. TBDM is my all time favorite band so to me they don't really have a bad album other than Miasma but that's just personal preference. Ritual is everything I loved about TBDM's previous releases rolled into one album. Den of the Picquerist is the best song they've ever written IMO.

Gorgoroth- Twilight of the Idols

I've been listening to Instinctus Bestialis a ton lately and I think its my favorite from them now.

Nile - Annihilation of the Wicked

/thread probably my favorite album of all time

Necrophagist - Epitaph

Still sets the bar for technical death metal almost 14 years later

Hey that's awesome, they are one of my top five bands for sure so glad I can share the good news.

They have a pretty diverse sound, that song I posted I find blends the heaviness and aggressiveness of their earlier work with their more ambitious and deep later work.
