  • 90s metal is often overshadowed by what came before and after it; almost being somewhat of an awkward middle child, but I'll make the case for it's greatness. Here's 30 angry metal albums worth checking out to show you the 90s had some great music. If you like a band, try to buy their music if you can. I do not own the music. It is for educational purposes, as always. I do not currently make any money from this channel so donations are appreciated. ko-fi.com/whatsinameme

    I made TH-cam playlists for all the decades I've covered, with a song from each album I talk about. I've gotten requests so give those a listen. I've gotten more requests than viewers on those playlists so far, so check em out then already.

    Personal favorite of mine is Acid Bath's When The Kite String Pops. Going off your philosophy of metal in 90s being angry, WTKSP is PURE misanthropy there is nothing anywhere remotely happy about that album. It's hostile and unwelcoming from the album cover to the songs, it's an album that refuses to pander or give any sympathy for it's listener. Great video btw, I seriously enjoyed all your picks.

  • @sawyeratkinson
    @sawyeratkinson ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Good vid, most of the metal I got into when I was but a wee lad, after metallica, was the Gothenburg-type scene. In flames, dark tranquility, soilwork, opeth, meshuggah, arch enemy, at the gates, darkane, amorphis, etc etc.. don't think bands like kse, as I lay dying, unearth, chimaira, etc that come in the 2000s exist without em...hell I saw most of those bands as openers for that og list honestly.
    Kind of surprised you didn't toss in some weirder metal bands though like converge, dillinger escape plan, coalesce, candiria (c.o.m.a. imprint is that shit man) neurosis, etc. That being said can't toss in everything and I imagine some bands will show up in the 00s vid I suppose.

    Great list as always. Now a few thoughts I'll say, as well as some other album recommendations that weren't mentioned:
    1. That description of Deftones gives me honestly a better idea on what Rap Metal is, as well as giving some more credibility to it .
    2. The lack of any mention of Power/Symphonic metal is a real shame, as it brought in a contrasting lighter form to the anger the 90s had.

How come no Kyuss?!?! I also love Acid Bath - one of my top metal bands, bit of a cult band I guess. Good to see Dissection honourable mention - only got into them last year.

  • @Astro2XA
    @Astro2XA ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Piggybacking on what a couple others have said, overall I think it's a rather solid list but it's hurt by the lack of Black, Doom, and Power Metal albums I feel. Blind Guardian's Nightfall in Middle Earth is widely regarded as one of the best power metal albums of all time. In addition you didn't mention bands like Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, or Anathema at all - three hugely influential bands particularly in the Doom genre. Then, going onto Black Metal - while you did mention Dissection in the honorable mentions and touched briefly on Mayhem's Deathcrush, I feel De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas deserves a mention. In addition, Transilvanian Hunger by Darkthrone got a lot of people into Black Metal.
    I do admit that while Groove Metal and Death Metal definitely dominated the 90s, other genres like Black Metal, Doom Metal, and Power Metal also exploded and had tons of great stuff released worth mentioning.

    Another tragic here for Swansong, I still hold it as Carcass' finest moment and it has lyrically remained ever-relevant. My choice for the Nevermore album would have been TPoE, but DNB is quite emotionally-cutting an explores a wider gamut of ideas. And fucking oath that Prong album has aged like fine wine, it still sounds fresh even now. Quite scary, really.
    On Testament, I feel Low is their 90s peak, it was a modernised version of their sound both recording-wise and stylistically. Murphy's influence was just so potent here.
    Another album to not make the list is Nailbomb's Point Blank and of course I would argue that Sepultura's finest moment was Arise, but see the importance of the follow-up LP in the evolution of Metal.
    If I had to really split hairs further, I would count Stoner Rock as Metal, because to my ears it has far more in common with Sabbath than anything Rock. Thus, Kyuss' BftRS and WtSV deserve a mention, but hey, I am sure others will disagree with me here.
    As for Southern Metal, I simply cannot go past CoC's Deliverance, it does epitomise the ideas explored.
    Overall, a fairly good list in my mind.

      I’m so bummed out that he didn’t include None So Vile, if the 90s are all about anger, None So Vile is the most rage-filled, both sonically and lyrically. I understand that the lyrics can be seen as distasteful, but I think it’s something that you really don’t want to overthink, all you need to know is that the protagonist is extremely angry and menacingly deranged, but has poetic and concerning intelligence. The whole album is a massive disgusting slaughterhouse of an album, with all the instruments depicting all of the grisly amounts of blood and entrails through immense heaviness, technical skill, and animalistic songwriting.

    Interesting mix but I think this list does a great job of showing that "Metal" is a very personal and subjective branding of some very divergent music... as it should be. Not every band is for everyone - and yes Metallica is a huge and plagiaristic sellout that ended their listenable status at the point of anything after Master of Puppets for me personally - nor should it be. Metal is a frame of mind more than a sequence of notes and what brings meaning to one shouldn't necessarily bring the same to another. There are some great pieces of music in this list and brought me back to a time I have a lot of memory gaps due to partying and rocking out heavily. One glaring omission for me is King Diamond The Eye - not his best but it is darker and more like Mercyful Fate.

    If an Alien came to earth and wanted to know what was Metal in the 70's Black Sabbath and the 80's Iron Maiden and Judas Priest sound better than Pantera ?
    Painkillers is very heavy... to be honest the 70's are faster than the 90's look at how many classic albums we had the 80's are up there 2 the 90's
    just the Black album by Metallica the rest of the decade sounds like grinting ?
    deft tones sounds stupid?
    the 70's had Metal it was called early Metal like Aerosmith, Kiss, Black Sabbath, Ac/dc and Judas Priest ? look at music that was around in the 70's
    then look at these bands they don't sound heavy metal compared to what was around in the 80's but that was a different time period.

      You just took that one bit and ripped out all the context of it. What he’s trying to say is neither positive or negative, he’s stating a fact about how people don’t want to be themselves because they don’t want to be associated with the groups they are part of. It has NOTHING to do with transgenderism, and if it was, it’s not negative, I swear to god, if you want to support them, you can’t just throw accusations at random people, unless you really want to fuel the stereotype of the Triggered SJW-type.
