The Open Door by Evanescence is still one of my favorites. Then I discovered Babymetal. Recently I been loving multiple A7X and Yousei Teikoku's Pax Vesania
@@NikNocturnal A7X to me is like metallica who is more technical and understands music theory. Lets be real, Metallica changed everything back in the day a couple of times...so one of the most influential. A7X to me is the one who got handed the the torch. (Slipknot rules too, Deftones, Lamb of God) These bands stand to the test of time.
The bands that got me leaning towards heavier stuff were Three Days Grace and Breaking Benjamin. That eventually got me into A7X, BFMV, and Atreyu (primarily Bullet out of those 3). Those 3 were my mainstays for quite awhile before I got into post-hardcore stuff and Metalcore. Recently getting into some Deathcore with Lorna Shore and Slaughter to Prevail to thank for that.
The first show I took my (now 29 yr old) son to see when he was 14 for an early birthday present was Three Days Grace with Adam and Breaking Ben who's from PA like we are. That was 15 yrs ago. He told me a few months later that it was the best birthday present he ever had. Fast forward to this past September which is his birthday month, (his is the 13th like Dave Mustaine) when we saw BVB, INK & MIW headline for the 1st time in Scranton, PA their hometown on Sept 9th, then after the show we drove to NJ, stayed in a Hotel and saw Lamb Of God the with KSE on the 10th in Camden, NJ. We had a blast, LoG is sounding as good as they ever have. We also love A7X and have seen them, KoRn, Disturbed, SlipKnot, Slayer, Megadeth, Manson, Alice Cooper, Rob Zombie, COB (RiP Alexi) and idk who all else. We see at least one show a year, often more. We love going to live shows, there's just nothing like it and we always have the best time.
My top 10 (in no particular order): 1. As I Lay Dying - The Powerless Rise 2. Trivium - Ascendancy (got me into metal) 3. Bullet For My Valentine - The Poison 4. Killswitch Engage - As Daylight Dies 5. All That Remains - The Fall Of Ideals 6. In Flames - Clayman 7. Parkway Drive - Killing With A Smile 8.

Solid list. Mine would have a lot of similarity. Glad you brought up Unearth and Shadow Falls. Two of the most highly underrated bands in that scene who had a massive impact on metal. I’d also throw in darkest hour - deliver us, that album was a shredde.
@@anoceanbetweenus89 I had it wrote out in the list but took it out for Underoath as I still listen to that album all the time and I don't jam Darkest Hour as much these days.Could've had Still Remains - Of Love and Lunacy on there as well. 10 is not enough! I should've had Iron Maiden - Brave New World on the list really as that is the album that got me into metal and I even have a Ghost of the Navigator tattoo.
Honestly your taste in music is great. There’s lots of bands that I like that you bring up but you’ve also introduced me to new bands and albums I’ve never checked out. Keep up the great content!
Born in ‘94 & heard Chop Suey when I was 7 & after that, it was all over. But here is mine: 1. BMTH - Suicide Season 2. SOAD - Toxicity 3. Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory/Meteora 4. Slipknot - Iowa 5. ADTR - Homesick 6. Killswitch Engage - End of Heartache 7. Limp Bizkit - CS&THFW 8. Korn - Follow The Leader 9. RATM - Self-Titled/Battle of LA 10. Disturbed - Ten Thousand Fists
Two albums that really changed my life are Nightmare - A7X and Somewhere In The Between - Streetlight Manifesto, both my favorite album of all time tbh, from my favorite bands, I know every lyric to both, they really got me into music
2005 my dad was going to take me to Ozzfest. I remember seeing the lineup and going on Morpheus to download some of the bands I've never heard of. 1. As I Lay Dying - Shadows Are Security. 94 hours was the 1st song I ever heard and boom I was hooked! 2. Trivium - Ascendancy 3. All That Remains - The Fall of Ideals - Prolly a top 3 album of all time in my opinion 4. Bullet for My Valentine - The Poison 5. Avenged Sevenfold - Waking the Fallen 6. Avenged Sevenfold - City of Evil 7. Unearth - The Oncoming Storm 8. Parkway Drive - Horizons 9. Haste the Day - When Everything Falls 10. Metallica - Ride the Lightning. The reason I started listening to metal
Yeah if you were into metal when Ascendancy was released, you know. It had such clean production and catchy riffs, plus arena choruses. Such a banger. They’ve made a lot of good albums since, but none compare to Ascendancy.
My top 10 in no particular order: BFMV - The Poison Parkway Drive - Horizons Children of Bodom - Are You Dead Yet Escape The Fate - Dying is your latest fashion Asking Alexandria - Stand up and scream Confession - The Long Way Home Bring Me The Horizon - There is a hell... A Day to Remember - What separates me from you Upon a Burning Body - Red White Green Architects - Lost Together... All these really shaped my taste in metal in one way or another🙌
MY top 12: (sorry for the weird number) 1: Between the Buried and me- Colors 2: Opeth- Ghost reveries 3: Protest the hero- Volition 4: In flames- Clayman 5: Between the buried and me- Alaska 6: Dance Gavin Dance- Instant gratification 7: Devin Townsend- Ziltoid the omniscient 8: Parkway drive- Horizons 9: Between the buried and me- Parallax 1&2 10: Gojira- the way of all flesh 11: Dream Theater- train of thought 12: Oceans ate Alaska- Hikari
Sweet list of albums. There are definitely a few albums from my childhood that "changed my life" and got me loving metal like I do today but most of the albums that got me to love metal, especially core and extreme metal, I heard over the pandemic. Anyways here are 10 metal albums that changed my life (in no specific order). 1. Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory (I like Meteora more but Hybrid Theory was the first metal album I heard in full) 2. Breaking Benjamin - Phobia 3. Disturbed - Ten Thousand Fists (I like Believe more now but this album initially hooked me the most out of any of their albums with it's guitar work and vocal melodies) 4. Deftones - White Pony (Diamond Eyes is my favorite but I heard White Pony first) 5. Suicide Silence - The Black Crown 6. Make Them Suffer - How to Survive a Funeral 7. Death - Leprosy 8. Deafheaven - New Bermuda 9. Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane 10. Parkway Drive - Deep Blue
A Matter of Life and Death by Iron Maiden Rust in Peace by Megadeth Shogun by Trivium Feathers and Flesh by Avatar Hail Stan by Periphery Ire by Parkway Drive Sacrament by Lamb of God Magma by Gojira Welcome to Horrorwood by Ice Nine Kills Vol 3. The Subliminal Verses by Slipknot Id probably have multiple Avatar/Maiden/Trivium records on here but kept it one album per artist
Top 10 for me: 1. Underoath 'Define The Great Line' 2. Protest The Hero 'Kezia' 3. Slipknot 'Iowa' 4. Counterparts 'The Difference Between Hell and Home' 5. Senses Fail 'Let It Enfold You' 6. August Burns Red 'Constellations' 7. Saosin 'Self-Titled' 8. Killswitch Engage 'The End of Heartache' 9. Periphery 'II' 10. Northlane 'Singularity'

Watch Out is such an underrated masterpiece in my opinion. You nailed it with the whole soundscapes and mixing that with crazy heavy sections. Unreal album
This would be my favorite metal albums that inspired my life: Northlane - Discoveries Northlane - Singularity Architects - All Our Gods Have Abondend Us Erra - Drift (basically everything Erra has done) Invent Animate - Stillworld Veil Of Maya - Matriarch Thornhill - The Dark Pool Currents - The Way It End
Underoath- define the great line All that remains- the fall of ideals August burns red- messengers I feel all that remains doesn’t get enough credit- say what you want about their other albums but This darkened heart and The fall of ideals are 2 of the best albums ever written, I will die on that hill 🤘
Train of Thought-Dream Theater City of Evil-A7X Blackwater Park-Opeth As Daylight Dies-Killswitch Engage In Waves-Trivium The Poison-BFMV Minutes to Midnight-Linkin Park That's The Spirit-BMTH
For me: Vol 3 The Subliminal Verses - Slipknot Master of Puppets - Metallica Rust in Peace - Megadeth Mutter - Rammstein Nightmare - A7X House of Gold and Bones Part 1 - Stone Sour Hybrid Theory - Linkin Park F&M - Lindemann Mesmerize - SOAD Meliora - Ghost
I'm very impressed with this list, having grown up with these albums, teens and 20's. That Northlane album is gorgeous. Also, love that Underoath and Alexisonfire are in there too.
Not in any particular order, too hard to decide: Atreyu - Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses Children of Boddom - Follow the Reaper Psykup - Le Temps de la Refléxion Persefone - Truth Inside the Shades Gojira - From Mars to Sirius Funeral for a Friend - Hours Between the Buried and Me - Colors Oceans Ate Alaska - Lost Isles As I Lay Dying - Shadows Are Security System of a Down - Toxicity Honorable Mentions: Thrice - The Artist in the Ambulance (I always thought it was metal, apparently not) Polyphia - Resurrect (not the Polyphia we know today but it was the EP that made me know them)
Great list. I got Follow the Reaper for christmas when I was a kid. The store did not have hate crew deathroll. Reaper ended up being my favorite COB album to this day.
@@jeremycronic Sometimes the universe does good things and we only realize it years later. In my case, I was a punk rock kid until a friend who was more into metal showed me Kissing the Shadows and that changed my life in terms of music forever.
My brother listened to rock and metal all the time when i was a kid and i still listen to a lot of those bands. My ten favourite albums (not in any particular order) that led me to heavy music: 1. Caliban - "The Undying Darkness" and "Say Hello To Tragedy" (i discovered both in one day) 2. Whitechapel- "This is Exile" 3. Suicide Silence- "The Cleansing" 4. Lamb Of God - "Sacrament" 5. Structures- "Divided By" (love this album sooo much) 6. Metallica- "Ride the Lightning" 7. Terror- "Keepers Of The Faith" (I think this album was the most important in my life, i listened to it every day during the hardest times of my life, i even have tattoo in which K.O.T.F. is hidden) 8. BMTH - "Count Your Blessings" 9. Architects- "Hollow Crown" 10. Blood Redemption - "Picking Up The Pieces Of A Broken Past"
No particular order for me As I Lay Dying - Awakened The Plot In You - Swan Song Underoath - They’re Only Chasing Safety Bullet For My Valentine - The Poison Bring Me The Horizon - Sempiternal Architects - Los Forever/Lost Together Sylosis - Monolith Impending Doom - Death will Reign Oh Sleeper - Children Of Fire The Devil Wears Prada - Dead Throne Bonus - Lamb Of God - Resolution
Not my personal favorite, but I’d say “Waking the Fallen” by A7X was the most life changing album of mine, since it was the first metal album I ever listened to. It was less than a year ago in Fall of 2020, but I’d say it started my transition into a metalhead
Some Albums I can think of are: Killswitch Engage- Alive or Just Breathing As I Lay Dying- An Ocean Between Us Breaking Benjamin- We Are Not Alone Suicide Silence- The Black Crown Archspire- The Lucid Collective Cynic- Focus
The two albums that legitimately 100% changed my life are the self titled Killswitch album from 2009, Howard blew me the fuck away with how far he went in the ribs for the first time seem to evolve pretty damn far it’s extremely underrated in my opinion. The other one is the powerless rise by as I lay and when you listen to like just the drums and guitar on any of those songs you can’t help but to be completely fucking blown away even in 2022 absolutely.
Glad to see WtF getting the recognition it deserves! A7X gets a lot of crap from people but they're a really talented band and Matt's voice was incredible on that album.
Waking the Fallen- A7X As Daylight Dies- Killswitch Engage Fall of Ideals- ATR Horizons- Parkway Drive The Poison- Bullet for My Valentine The Black Swan- Story of the Year Messengers- August Burns Red The Way of the Fist - Five Finger Death Punch Saturday Night Sever- Buried in Verona Music For The Recently Deceased- I Killed The Prom Queen And many many more. Man just making this list brings back too many memories.
Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet Soad - basically everything Subway to Sally - Hochzeit The Hirsch Effect - Eskapist Meshuggah - ObZen In Flames - Clayman At the Gates - slaughter of the soul Der Weg einer Freiheit - Finsterre Bmth - Sempiternal
Idk if I could make a whole top 10 because back in those days I was mostly just listening to singles not full albums but there is one album that definitely stands out as being THE ONE that I can pinpoint as being where I started becoming a metalhead, Come Clarity by In Flames. To this day I actually still have this sick charcoal drawing of the album art that my highschool girlfriend made for me lol
Dude, not only do we have SO many of the same bands in common that shaped our taste in music, but you pulled out the NFS: Most wanted reference! One of my favorite games of all time! Great sound track!
Top 10 that changed my life: 1) Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power 2) Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss 3) Sepultura - Arise 4) Morbid Angel - Covenant 5) Metallica - And Justice For All 6) Megadeth - Rust in Peace 7) Opeth - Blackwater Park 8) Korn - self titled debut 9) Slipknot - self titled debut 10) Deftones - Around the Fur
Swap sepultura for in flames - clayman and our lists are nearly identical. ‘gateways’ was my first MA album so I’d go with that one for me. Hard to choose between ‘vulgar’ ‘far beyond’ and ‘reinventing’ they were all so influential
My who-da-hell-need-next-button playlist As i lay dying - an ocean between us Underoath - they're only chasing safety From autumn to ashes - holding the wolves by the ears Trivium - ascendancy In flames - the jester race Atreyu - the curse All that remains - the fall of ideas The devil wears prada - plagues Killswitch engage - alive or just breathing
Albums that got me a lot more interested in music but more so rock/ metal. Definstly a lot more that belong here but these are the main ones that I remember. I took a turn into the death metal scene which also brought me to black metal. Deathcore is where my main interest lies now. Although I love all types of music. 1: Linkin Park- Meteora 2: All that remains- This Darkened Heart 3: Avenged Sevenfold- Sounding the seventh trumpet 4: Lamb Of God- Ashes of the wake 5: Children of Bodom- Hate Crew Deathroll 6: AFI- Sing the Sorrow 7: Slipknot- Iowa 8: Bleeding Through- This is love, this is murderous 9: Three Days Grace- Three Days Grace 10: In Flames- Sound Track to Your Escape
I never realized how young Nick is. A lot of these albums are my little brothers era of getting into metal. Amazing albums. I wasn't expecting a butt rock album though with Disturbed, that was out of left field. I was in my 20s when Shadows are Security came out and I still even consider it an album that shaped me.
These are my top 5 , been listening to them for as long as i can remember. Linkin park - Hybrid Theory Red - End of Silence Soilwork - Figure Number Five Breaking Benjamin - Phobia Scar Symmetry - Holographic Universe
Damn you know Nik was sceeeeeeeene anyways Top 10 no particular order: 1. Fortress - Protest The Hero (reason why I even picked up the guitar) 2. Fever - BFMV 3. Human - Death 4. My Damnation - Chelsea Grin 5. An Ocean Between Us - As I lay Dying 6. Overcome - All That Remains 7. The Flood - Of mice & men (shut up) 8. Dying is your latest fashion - Escape The Fate ( SHUT UP) 9. Ruination - Job For A Cowboy 10. This Is Exile - Whitechapel Honorable mentions: Deflorate - The Black Dahlia Murder Hate - Thy Art Is Murder
My introduction to metal wasn't entirely by albums but individual songs. My Plague by Slipknot...boi I still have my top 10 that shaped my music taste #10 Scar Symmetry - Holographic Universe ( What the fuck is a 7 string and why do I want it....oh yeah, to play these songs!) #9 Symphony X - Underworld (If you want riffs that you can dance headbang to, this is it) #8 Annihilator - King of the Hill (Equally catchy and insane solos that shaped my own playing) #7 Monuments - Phronesis (Truely to catchiest and technical riffs today) #6 Dragonforce - Inhuman Rampage (Lol it has ttfaf. Fr, every song has a place. Some hate but it's a real contender) #5 Drist - Orchids and Ammunition (This is where I found out that heavy music existed) #4 In Flames - Come Clarity (Every single song can makes lists of why this album is so amazing) #3 After the Burial - Evergreen (Literally changed my outlook on heavy music) #2 Children of Bodom - Follow the Reaper (I bough this album in 2012 from apple music on my ipod touch 4g after finding some songs from the album on GHtunes custom songs community for Guitar Hero 5 on the wii. Heavy music was new to me and didn't think it could be melodic and catchy) #1 All that Remains - The fall of ideals (Need I say anything. This album fucks) I still think that the Fall of Ideals is still the greatest album ever made. Follow the reaper slinks above it every now and then cause they both follow a nostalgic side
It was so awesome to hear Nik mention alexisonfire, loved Watch Out as well. I don't hear a lot of metal or even metal adjacent people mention them on these channels but they are probably the single biggest influence on me personally getting into heavier music and metal in general. Beautiful clean vocals and great arrangements and songwriting. I know they were huge in canada but I really think theyre still underrated. I wish DG hadn't pursued city and colour so hard and we would have gotten more ST - Crisis type music. Anyway, cool to hear you mention them Nik, love the vids. Our metal journey looks pretty similar!
its cool to see your list, different albums can be wildly different for different people. every single album on this list is an album i always thought was trash but its cool to see the other side of the fence where these albums are life changing for someone
Dude, "I Won't See You Tonight Part 1" is literally my favorite song off the album. I agree when you said it's one of (imo) the most beautiful metal ballads ever.
No particular order. Define the Great Line - Underoath Parallax II: Future Sequence - Between the Buried and Me Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge - My Chemical Romance Sempiternal - Bring Me the Horizon The End of Heartache - Killswitch Engage Origin of Symmetry - Muse The Fall of Ideals - All That Remains Option Paralysis - The Dillinger Escape Plan Planetary Duality - The Faceless Waking the Fallen - Avenged Sevenfold
For me it’s: A thousand suns by Linkin Park Ride the lightning by Metallica Life starts now by Three Days Grace Issues by KoЯn Kin by Whitechapel Phobia by Breaking Benjamin. .5 the grey chapter by Slipknot The Stage By Avenged Sevenfold Vulgar Display of Power by Pantera One-X by Three Days Grace
From 10,000 Fists 'Deify' was the one that smacked me! I totally agree with you with that As I Lay Dying album, that one changed my life too got me hooked instantly...
Does anyone know the band Diecast? They have a few albums and one is named Tearing down your blue skies and OMG that shit so fucking good it has every thing riffs,break downs ,screaming and singing and really powerful lyrics too , I highly recommend the song called Pendulum every needs to hear it!!
Almost had the same progression myself! Agreed BFMV - The Poison was my first screaming album I was really into. Even Dream Theater, I had the same experience where I found them in the late 2000s. KSE, Parkway Drive, In Flames (stemming back to MTV Headbangers ball, never got over that!) and Rammstein are some of my all time favs, and lately its been The Volumes, Architects and Amity Affliction. Gerderm there's so much good stuff out there.
My favourite albums are Rise Against - Appeal to Reason Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory BFMV - Venom (every BFMV album after discovering Venom) BMTH - That's the spirit Beyond the black - Songs of love and death Nightwish - Endless forms most beautiful FFAK - Dark Skies Architects - Holy Hell I guess these albums influenced my musical taste the most :)
90% of your list My personally favorite though: Killswitch - alive or just breathing August burns red - messengers Erra - Augment Make them suffer - old souls Sikth - death of a dead day More recently Currents - place I feel safest Polaris - death of me
I've thought about this for way too long but Hybrid Theory was the first heavy music I encountered. Constellations - ABR Killing with a smile - Parkway Drive Stick to your guns - The Hope Divison Stray From the Path - Make Your Own History Killing Season - BMTH Suicide Silence - The Cleansing Knocked Loose- Pop Culture Veil of Maya - It's not safe to swim today Your Demise - Ignorance Never Dies Sworn In - Start/End that's off the top of my head, you can tell i ended up liking more hardcore stuff pretty early on. Stick to your guns - The Hope Divison Stray From the Path - Make Your Own History
Amazing list, I feel like you're me in another universe. Mine's: 1. Master of Puppets - Metallica 2. Meteora - Linkin Park 3. Rust in Peace- Megadeth 4. Ashes of the Wake- Lamb of God 5. Vol 3. - Slipknot 6. Waking the Fallen - Avenged Sevenfold (the Resurrected version is even better IMO) 7. Shadows Are Security - As I Lay Dying 8. The Poison- Bullet For My Valentine 9. The Fall of Ideals (RIP Oli!) - All That Remains 10. Train of Thought - Dream Theater
It’s interesting to see everyone’s list! So I decided to dig into my iTunes library (nostalgia) and made this: 10 albums introduced me to metal/metalcore 1. Dir en Grey - Withering to Death (2005) (UROBOROS is my favorite but this one opened the door for me) 2. Korn - Korn (1994) 3. Slipknot - Slipknot (1999) 4. Avenged Sevenfold - Avenged Sevenfold (2007) 5. Underoath - Ø (Disambiguation) (2010) 6. Architects - Daybreaker (2012) 7. Northlane - Singularity (2013) 8. Deftones - White Pony (2000) 9. Meshuggah - obZen (2008) 10. Utsu-P - Diarrhea (2009)
Top 10 for me: 10. Baptized In Filth - Impending Doom 9. The Apostasy - Behemoth 8. Archetype - Fear Factory 7. No Time to Bleed - Suicide Silence 6. Around The Fur - Deftones 5. Nocturnal - The Black Dahila Murder 4. Iowa - Slipknot 3. Domination - Morbid Angel 2. The Blackening - Machine Head 1. L.D. 50 - Mudvayne
I don't usually listen to this kind of metal but I loved hearing you talk so passionately about these albums, makes me realize how much I also love my personal favourites! aaand a little list from me as well: Metallica "Ride the Lightning" Megadeth "Peace Sells..." (these two started my love for metal) King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard "Infest the Rats' Nest" (my favourite metal album by a non-metal band) Kat "666" (old school thrash from Poland) Venom "Welcome to Hell" (a classic) Coroner "Grin" (heavy, dark and psychedelic) Morbid Angel "Altars of Madness" (my gateway into death metal) Intruder "A Higher Form of Killing" (amazing thrash album) Razor "Violent Restitution" (just insane) although the truth is it's hard to pick just one album from any of these bands!
Not ten albums, but... 30 Seconds To Mars - A Beautiful Lie - I fucking love this record. All I've known until then was one or two Billy Talent songs and german rock. This album was a massive game changer. I've heard this one a thousand times by now it feels like and still, I am not getting tired of it. It's just timeless and personally, one of my alltime favorite records ever. Papa Roach - Lovehatetragedy - I can remember it well - as a seven year old boy, I asked my mother if she could get me a Paramore album. She couldn't find one, so she instead got me Lovehatetragedy. And I think if there's one thing seven year old me and now twenty year old me can agree on, is that the album SLAPS. It has this big nu metal vibe, similar to the debut album, but with more melodic passages, with some variety here and there and so on. Black Clouds, Time and Time Again or the absolute freaking banger that is Decompression Period...all of them are amazing songs and this will always be my favorite Papa Roach album. The closest to this one is Infest. Paramore - All We Know Is Falling - If we talk about Paramore already, I can mention this one. I got into Paramore thanks to their song Decode (still my all time favorite song by them) and AWKIF was like my introduction to pop punk music. I don't have much to say here, it's just an awesome album. If you like pop punk and you don't know this record...what the hell, bro? Bullet For My Valentine - Fever - My brother is fan of the band, went to a concert of them and managed to get my mom into them. And who else got into them through him? Me, of course. Fever was the first BFMV record that I've listened to completely and I was obviously blown away. It was the first time I listened to a nearly six minute song, too! This album is just gold and while not as good as my fav Venom or The Poison, it still counts as a record I can listen to all the time and never get tired of it. Billy Talent - Billy Talent III - That comes as a surprise, but I mentioned before that I know them so, why not? Not much I can say here either, it's just a great album. The "shouts" and the snarky pop punk vocals of Ian make up for a real fun time. Tears Into Wine, bitches. And finally. Periphery III: Select Difficulty - I FUCKING LOVE THIS ALBUM. Like if there's an album that I like that much, then it's P3. Others think about P1, P2 or Juggernaut, but P3 impacted me to an extent I didn't know was possible. It also helps that it came out during what I consider so far the best time of my life and every time I listen to this record, it's just a massive throwback. I could listen to this shit on repeat. But I have to put some shine on what is definitely the best song on the record and overall my fav song of the band - Flatline. I can't put the love I have for this song in words. Truly a fantastic record and also one of my all time favs. It's a massive surprise that Periphery managed to reach this peak with P4 AGAIN.
Drink every time Nik says "to this day" My list: 1. Nightwish - Oceanborn 2. Between the Buried and Me - The Parallax II: Future Sequence 3. Linkin Park - A Thousand Suns 4. Periphery - Periphery II: This Time It's Personal 5. Faith No More - Angel Dust
Singularity is still goated to this day. Hearing Quantum Flux for the first time when I was a kid… damn bro that shit changed my life. And they just kept releasing good albums after that ! God bless northlane
I'm a tiny bit older than most everyone else here, being an Xennial (mini-generation straddling Gen X and Gen Y). I spent my preadolescent years listening to Metallica and Megadeth, made it through the metal drought of the nineties on Pantera, Machine Head and Slayer, and discovered metalcore and melodeth in the early 2000s. In no particular order: Metallica - Master of Puppets Megadeth - Rust In Peace Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power Killswitch Engage - Alive or Just Breathing In Flames - The Jester Raysce / Who - racle (it's a tie) Moonspell - 1755 Su - ee - cidal Tendencies - How Will I Laugh Tomorrow Corrosion of Conformity - Deliverance Alice In Chains - Dirt / Jar of flies (another tie, and yes Jar counts because Nutshell is the most metal song ever recorded) Slayer - Seasons In The Abyss As you can tell, I'm not huge into metalcore - although I do enjoy it a lot. I'm subscribed to this channel because I like metal of all kinds and varieties, and I'm always looking to expand my horizons.
Hmmm... If we have to list 10 (In no particular order for me) Slipknot - All Hope Is Gone Recode the Subliminal - The Cost of Every Man Be'lakor - Stone's Reach Nightwish - Once In Flames - Sounds of a Playground Fading Attack Attack! - This Means War Soilwork - The Ride Majestic Asking Alexandria - Stand Up And Scream Shadow of Intent - Reclaimer Periphery - Juggernaut Alpha/Omega It was really hard to limit it to front and back albums, instead of just "a smattering of everything they release" like it has been with a few perception changing fixations I've had, such as with a lot of Tool/Disturbed/A7x/SOAD as a kid, and a lot of Jinjer/Spiritbox/Infected Rain recently
1. Dark Tranquility - Fiction 2. In Flames - Colony, Sounds of a playground fading 3. Insomnium - Above the weeping world 4. Gojira - Magma 5. As I lay dying - shadows are security 6. Metallica - Master of puppets 7. Architects - For those that wish to exist 8. Mokoma - elävien kirjoihin 9. Death - the sound of Perseverance 10. Rammstein - Zeit Not in any order just absolute bangers and beautiful albums.
Before I start this video, I’m gonna list the albums that changed my life. I’m just curious how similar it is to your list. Considering In the thumbnail. I saw a couple that are on my list. 1. Avenged sevenfold- waking the fallen 2. Killswitch engage- alive or just breathing 3. As I lay dying- frail words collapse 4. Eighteen visions-obsession 5. 36 crazyfists- a snow capped romance 6. All that remains- this darkened heart 7. Atreyu- the curse 8. Lamb of god- ashes of the wake 9. Shadows fall- the art of balance 10.arch enemy- anthems of rebellion. Of course there are other albums that changed my life down the road. But these are the albums that started it all for me. The ones that sent me on a metalcore journey, or sent me on the path to wanting to discover more metal bands. Before these albums, I was listening to 80’s hair metal, punk rock, and ska music. I listened to bands like korn, sevendust, and staind. But avenged sevenfold waking the fallen was the band that got me into the screaming type of metal. They’re not in any order, except for the top 3. When as I lay dying shadows are security, killswitch engage end of heartache, and trivium Ascendancy came out. Those albums really impacted my life.
Constellations - August Burns Red Messengers - August Burns Red Deceiver - The Word Alive Entirety - The Word Alive To Plant a Seed - We Came As Roman’s The Flood - Of Mice and Men Hollow Bodies - Blessthefall New Demons - I See Stars Indestructible - Disturbed Tomorrow We Die Alive - Born of Osiris
Good choices, i saw the to plant a seed tour- was a amazing show

Since you included BfmV, A7x and Disturbed, we kinda had the same trip! I have to include Kamelot and Avantasia as well. I mostly listened to compilations though, the first album that really blew my mind as a whole was In Flames - Siren Charms. I listened to it on repeat for weeks.
Grew up with 70s rock / 80s metal and now into the cores so heres my top 10: 1. And Justice For All - Metallica 2. Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath 3. Sheer Heart Attack - Queen 4. Horizons - Parkway Drive 5. Killing with a Smile - PWD 6. LIFAD - Rammstein 7. Master of Puppets = Metallica 8. Deep Blue - PWD 9. Dynasty - KISS 10. Destroyer - KISS
Wow this was a time ride nik! This is my top 10: 1: Parachutes - Coldplay 2: Hybrid Theory/Meteora/Minutes to Midnight - Linkin Park (total game changer) 3: Self Titled - Metallica 4: Self Titled/Nightmare - Avenged Sevenfold 5: City of Evil - Avenged Sevenfold 6: Waking the Fallen - Avenged Sevenfold (another game changer) 7: The Poison - Bullet from my Valentine 8: As Daylight Dies - Killswich Engage 9: Holy Hell - Architects 10: All Our Gods have abandoned us - Architects Chronological order of me finding the albums xd

Polyphia - Inspire EP 7. Architects - Lost Forever // Lost Together 8. Fallujah - The Flesh Prevails 9. Rings of Saturn - Lugal Ki En 10. To The Grave - Global Warning
Dude...WTF is and Fall Of Ideals are also some of my fav albums from my budding metal days. Gotta say Desecrate Through Reverance, Iwsyt pt 1 and 2, and Second Heartbeat for my picks on WTF. Fall of ideals...probably Weak willed,Whispers,Air,This Calling,Six,Become the Catalyst, Indictment. Shannon Lucas was the drummer for that album too, who also played for Dahlia. (RIP Trevor!) Heres a story about Fall of Ideals. I befriended the best friend of Oli Herbert posthumously, and he gifted me Oli's college notebook. The cover of this yellow notebook is COVERED in resin. RIP Oli.
Life Starts Now by Three- Days Grace HT/Meteora- Linkin Park Immortal-Lorna Shore Self Titled-Korn Come Clarity - In Flames Reroute To Remain - In Flames Marilyn Manson- The Golden Age of Grotesque Disturbed - Indestructible Architects-Holy Hell There are probably others I couldn't think of because for the rest one song is good enough to carry them
This makes me want to reminisce and document my album path. I remember most of them that i listened to on repeat and want to remember those ive forgotten.
My top 10 Metal albums (not in a particular order): 1. Deftones - Around the Fur 2. Bullet for my valentine - the Poison 3. Whispered - Shogunate Macabre 4. Born of Osiris - Tomorrow We Die Alive 5. Infant Annihilator - The Elysian Grandeval Galeriarch 6. Children of Bodom - Follow the Reaper 7. Korn - Life Is Peachy 8. Black Tongue - Nadir 9. In Flames - Soundtrack to Your Escape 10. Linkin Park - Meteora
•A7X - Waking the Fallen •Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory •ABR - Constellations •Whitechapel - Somatic Defilement •Suicide Silence - The Cleansing •Of Mice & Men - Self-titled •Phinehas - The Last Word •Wage War - Blueprints •Impending Doom - Baptized in Filth •Shadow of Intent - Elegy There’s a lot more I could list but I wanted to give a broad timeline haha
I literally spent 2 weeks to download the whole Ten Thousand Fists in 128kbps quality, because of poor 28.8 kbps (3-3.5 kb per second). Each track felt so precious, so important! Same for The Poison, especially bonus tracks. Holy shit, nostalgia kills me.
*2000's Metal
Deftones ~ Around the Fur
Metallica - Black
I feel totally identified with you, most of the bands I listened to in my childhood and adolescence.
The best that this life can leave us
The Open Door by Evanescence is still one of my favorites. Then I discovered Babymetal. Recently I been loving multiple A7X and Yousei Teikoku's Pax Vesania
Love your list my guy.
Shogun from Trivium for me absolutely blew my mental doors off. Heavy? Thrash? Proggy? Clean vocals and screams?!
Shogun is a great album!
Heavy, Thrash and Proggy is probably the best way to describe Trivium
Love you dude
A Gunshot to the Head of Trepidation was the first metalcore song I ever fell in love with
My top 10:
1: ERRA (self titled)
2-10: ERRA (self titled)
Thank you for reading.
Aha, love that
Chapter Four by A7X is arguably one of my favorite songs. Absolute masterpiece
Those guitar harmonies are
That snare work in the intro is chef kiss perfect. That's when Jimmy had me hooked. He was the band for me.
@@NikNocturnal A7X to me is like metallica who is more technical and understands music theory.
Lets be real, Metallica changed everything back in the day a couple of times...so one of the most influential. A7X to me is the one who got handed the the torch.
(Slipknot rules too, Deftones, Lamb of God)
These bands stand to the test of time.
Agreed!
The bands that got me leaning towards heavier stuff were Three Days Grace and Breaking Benjamin. That eventually got me into A7X, BFMV, and Atreyu (primarily Bullet out of those 3). Those 3 were my mainstays for quite awhile before I got into post-hardcore stuff and Metalcore. Recently getting into some Deathcore with Lorna Shore and Slaughter to Prevail to thank for that.
The first show I took my (now 29 yr old) son to see when he was 14 for an early birthday present was Three Days Grace with Adam and Breaking Ben who's from PA like we are.
That was 15 yrs ago. He told me a few months later that it was the best birthday present he ever had.
Fast forward to this past September which is his birthday month, (his is the 13th like Dave Mustaine) when we saw BVB, INK & MIW headline for the 1st time in Scranton, PA their hometown on Sept 9th, then after the show we drove to NJ, stayed in a Hotel and saw Lamb Of God the with KSE on the 10th in Camden, NJ. We had a blast, LoG is sounding as good as they ever have.
We also love A7X and have seen them, KoRn, Disturbed, SlipKnot, Slayer, Megadeth, Manson, Alice Cooper, Rob Zombie, COB (RiP Alexi) and idk who all else. We see at least one show a year, often more. We love going to live shows, there's just nothing like it and we always have the best time.
For me:
-still life(Opeth)
-Ghost reveries(Opeth)
-Images and words( Dream theater)
-Metropolis pt.2(Dream theater)
-Korn(Korn)
-Lateralus(Tool)
-Obzen(Meshuggah)

@@nyarlathotep34 was gonna say Amorphis - Eclipse too, but the list is long enough
@@AutomaticDuck300 Amorphis is incredible!
@@dmphax saw em live just pre-covid (a month before lockdown). Amazing.
Augment by Erra is such a forgotten album. It’s hands down their best and more people need to hear it
Coming back to this video over 2 years later. Thank you Nik for introducing me to Periphery, they changed my life😅
As I Lay Dying - Frail Words Collapse
Unearth - The Oncoming Storm
KSE - Alive or Just Breathing
August Burns Red - Constellations
Architects - Lost Forever Lost Together
The Black Dahlia Murder - Unhallowed
Underoath - Define the Great Line
A7X - Waking the Fallen
Protest the Hero - Kezia
Shadows Fall - The Art of Balance
Solid list. Mine would have a lot of similarity. Glad you brought up Unearth and Shadow Falls. Two of the most highly underrated bands in that scene who had a massive impact on metal. I’d also throw in darkest hour - deliver us, that album was a shredde.
@@anoceanbetweenus89 I had it wrote out in the list but took it out for Underoath as I still listen to that album all the time and I don't jam Darkest Hour as much these days.Could've had Still Remains - Of Love and Lunacy on there as well. 10 is not enough! I should've had Iron Maiden - Brave New World on the list really as that is the album that got me into metal and I even have a Ghost of the Navigator tattoo.
Honestly your taste in music is great. There’s lots of bands that I like that you bring up but you’ve also introduced me to new bands and albums I’ve never checked out. Keep up the great content!
I am SO HAPPY you put in Alexisonfire....the song It Was Fear Of Myself That Made Me Odd....one of the all time best songs in this genre.
I actually practice screaming to that song a lot aha, love it
Born in ‘94 & heard Chop Suey when I was 7 & after that, it was all over. But here is mine:
1. BMTH - Suicide Season
2. SOAD - Toxicity
3. Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory/Meteora
4. Slipknot - Iowa
5. ADTR - Homesick
6. Killswitch Engage - End of Heartache
7. Limp Bizkit - CS&THFW
8. Korn - Follow The Leader
9. RATM - Self-Titled/Battle of LA

Two albums that really changed my life are Nightmare - A7X and Somewhere In The Between - Streetlight Manifesto, both my favorite album of all time tbh, from my favorite bands, I know every lyric to both, they really got me into music
Ha! Nightmare was the album that dragged me into metal
2005 my dad was going to take me to Ozzfest. I remember seeing the lineup and going on Morpheus to download some of the bands I've never heard of.
1. As I Lay Dying - Shadows Are Security. 94 hours was the 1st song I ever heard and boom I was hooked!
2. Trivium - Ascendancy
3. All That Remains - The Fall of Ideals - Prolly a top 3 album of all time in my opinion
4. Bullet for My Valentine - The Poison
5. Avenged Sevenfold - Waking the Fallen
6. Avenged Sevenfold - City of Evil
7. Unearth - The Oncoming Storm
8. Parkway Drive - Horizons
9. Haste the Day - When Everything Falls
10. Metallica - Ride the Lightning. The reason I started listening to metal
Yeah if you were into metal when Ascendancy was released, you know. It had such clean production and catchy riffs, plus arena choruses. Such a banger. They’ve made a lot of good albums since, but none compare to Ascendancy.

All that remains- the fall of ideals
August burns red- messengers
I feel all that remains doesn’t get enough credit- say what you want about their other albums but This darkened heart and The fall of ideals are 2 of the best albums ever written, I will die on that hill 🤘
For sure, this darkened heart is responsible for sending me on my metalcore journey. One of the albums anyway

Great List!
goddamn Hybrid Theory’s one of the best 2000’s albums, not a single bad song on that one
@@LuisCastillo-rt5nk yup. that album alone introduced me to listening to few rap songs even though I hated it, Chester is the man.
I'm very impressed with this list, having grown up with these albums, teens and 20's. That Northlane album is gorgeous.
Also, love that Underoath and Alexisonfire are in there too.
Not in any particular order, too hard to decide:
Atreyu - Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses
Children of Boddom - Follow the Reaper
Psykup - Le Temps de la Refléxion
Persefone - Truth Inside the Shades
Gojira - From Mars to Sirius
Funeral for a Friend - Hours

Honorable Mentions:

Polyphia - Resurrect (not the Polyphia we know today but it was the EP that made me know them)
Great list. I got Follow the Reaper for christmas when I was a kid. The store did not have hate crew deathroll. Reaper ended up being my favorite COB album to this day.
@@jeremycronic Sometimes the universe does good things and we only realize it years later. In my case, I was a punk rock kid until a friend who was more into metal showed me Kissing the Shadows and that changed my life in terms of music forever.
My brother listened to rock and metal all the time when i was a kid and i still listen to a lot of those bands. My ten favourite albums (not in any particular order) that led me to heavy music:
1. Caliban - "The Undying Darkness" and "Say Hello To Tragedy" (i discovered both in one day)
2. Whitechapel- "This is Exile"
3. Suicide Silence- "The Cleansing"
4. Lamb Of God - "Sacrament"
5. Structures- "Divided By" (love this album sooo much)
6. Metallica- "Ride the Lightning"

8. BMTH - "Count Your Blessings"
9. Architects- "Hollow Crown"
10. Blood Redemption - "Picking Up The Pieces Of A Broken Past"
My top 5:
Arch Enemy - Wages of Sin
Asphyx - The Rack
Megadeth - Rust in Peace
In Flames - The Jester Race
Judas Priest - Painkiller
No particular order for me
As I Lay Dying - Awakened
The Plot In You - Swan Song
Underoath - They’re Only Chasing Safety
Bullet For My Valentine - The Poison
Bring Me The Horizon - Sempiternal
Architects - Los Forever/Lost Together
Sylosis - Monolith
Impending Doom - Death will Reign
Oh Sleeper - Children Of Fire
The Devil Wears Prada - Dead Throne
Bonus - Lamb Of God - Resolution
Not my personal favorite, but I’d say “Waking the Fallen” by A7X was the most life changing album of mine, since it was the first metal album I ever listened to. It was less than a year ago in Fall of 2020, but I’d say it started my transition into a metalhead
Out of A7X’s albums, by far my favorite. Right up there with The Poison. The number of hours I jammed to those is ungodly
For me it was the Nightmare album
So glad that these bands and albums got you into metalcore. I got into it through them as well
Some Albums I can think of are:
Killswitch Engage- Alive or Just Breathing
As I Lay Dying- An Ocean Between Us
Breaking Benjamin- We Are Not Alone
Suicide Silence- The Black Crown
Archspire- The Lucid Collective
Cynic- Focus
The two albums that legitimately 100% changed my life are the self titled Killswitch album from 2009, Howard blew me the fuck away with how far he went in the ribs for the first time seem to evolve pretty damn far it’s extremely underrated in my opinion. The other one is the powerless rise by as I lay and when you listen to like just the drums and guitar on any of those songs you can’t help but to be completely fucking blown away even in 2022 absolutely.
Glad to see WtF getting the recognition it deserves! A7X gets a lot of crap from people but they're a really talented band and Matt's voice was incredible on that album.
^^ true
Waking the Fallen- A7X
As Daylight Dies- Killswitch Engage
Fall of Ideals- ATR
Horizons- Parkway Drive
The Poison- Bullet for My Valentine
The Black Swan- Story of the Year
Messengers- August Burns Red
The Way of the Fist - Five Finger Death Punch
Saturday Night Sever- Buried in Verona
Music For The Recently Deceased- I Killed The Prom Queen
And many many more. Man just making this list brings back too many memories.
I think The Fall of Ideals has a claim to the greatest metalcore album of all time, absolute masterpiece in every aspect
Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet
Soad - basically everything
Subway to Sally - Hochzeit
The Hirsch Effect - Eskapist
Meshuggah - ObZen
In Flames - Clayman
At the Gates - slaughter of the soul
Der Weg einer Freiheit - Finsterre
Bmth - Sempiternal
Idk if I could make a whole top 10 because back in those days I was mostly just listening to singles not full albums but there is one album that definitely stands out as being THE ONE that I can pinpoint as being where I started becoming a metalhead, Come Clarity by In Flames. To this day I actually still have this sick charcoal drawing of the album art that my highschool girlfriend made for me lol
Dude, not only do we have SO many of the same bands in common that shaped our taste in music, but you pulled out the NFS: Most wanted reference! One of my favorite games of all time! Great sound track!
Top 10 that changed my life:
1) Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power
2) Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss
3) Sepultura - Arise
4) Morbid Angel - Covenant
5) Metallica - And Justice For All
6) Megadeth - Rust in Peace
7) Opeth - Blackwater Park
8) Korn - self titled debut
9) Slipknot - self titled debut
10) Deftones - Around the Fur
Swap sepultura for in flames - clayman and our lists are nearly identical.
‘gateways’ was my first MA album so I’d go with that one for me.
Hard to choose between ‘vulgar’ ‘far beyond’ and ‘reinventing’ they were all so influential
Opeth! For some reason I forget about them with these types of list.
All mainstream, household names. Not criticizing.
My who-da-hell-need-next-button playlist
As i lay dying - an ocean between us
Underoath - they're only chasing safety
From autumn to ashes - holding the wolves by the ears
Trivium - ascendancy
In flames - the jester race
Atreyu - the curse
All that remains - the fall of ideas
The devil wears prada - plagues
Killswitch engage - alive or just breathing
This is a good Playlist 👍
Albums that got me a lot more interested in music but more so rock/ metal. Definstly a lot more that belong here but these are the main ones that I remember. I took a turn into the death metal scene which also brought me to black metal. Deathcore is where my main interest lies now. Although I love all types of music.
1: Linkin Park- Meteora
2: All that remains- This Darkened Heart
3: Avenged Sevenfold- Sounding the seventh trumpet
4: Lamb Of God- Ashes of the wake
5: Children of Bodom- Hate Crew Deathroll
6: AFI- Sing the Sorrow
7: Slipknot- Iowa
8: Bleeding Through- This is love, this is murderous
9: Three Days Grace- Three Days Grace

It was quite the nostalgia bomb seeing those album covers
My top 10:
1: L’enfant Sauvage
2: The Way Of All Flesh
3: From Mars To Sirius
4: Terra Incognita
5: Magma
6: Fortitude
7: The Link

@@NikNocturnal whale core
😅😅😅😅😅
I never realized how young Nick is. A lot of these albums are my little brothers era of getting into metal. Amazing albums. I wasn't expecting a butt rock album though with Disturbed, that was out of left field. I was in my 20s when Shadows are Security came out and I still even consider it an album that shaped me.
These are my top 5 , been listening to them for as long as i can remember.
Linkin park - Hybrid Theory
Red - End of Silence
Soilwork - Figure Number Five
Breaking Benjamin - Phobia
Scar Symmetry - Holographic Universe
Ehyyyyyy got some Red love here
Damn you know Nik was sceeeeeeeene anyways
Top 10 no particular order:
1. Fortress - Protest The Hero (reason why I even picked up the guitar)
2. Fever - BFMV
3. Human - Death
4. My Damnation - Chelsea Grin
5. An Ocean Between Us - As I lay Dying
6. Overcome - All That Remains
7. The Flood - Of mice & men (shut up)
8. Dying is your latest fashion - Escape The Fate ( SHUT UP)
9. Ruination - Job For A Cowboy
10. This Is Exile - Whitechapel
Honorable mentions: Deflorate - The Black Dahlia Murder
Hate - Thy Art Is Murder
My introduction to metal wasn't entirely by albums but individual songs. My Plague by Slipknot...boi I still have my top 10 that shaped my music taste
#10 Scar Symmetry - Holographic Universe ( What the fuck is a 7 string and why do I want it....oh yeah, to play these songs!)
#9 Symphony X - Underworld (If you want riffs that you can dance headbang to, this is it)
#8 Annihilator - King of the Hill (Equally catchy and insane solos that shaped my own playing)
#7 Monuments - Phronesis (Truely to catchiest and technical riffs today)
#6 Dragonforce - Inhuman Rampage (Lol it has ttfaf. Fr, every song has a place. Some hate but it's a real contender)
#5 Drist - Orchids and Ammunition (This is where I found out that heavy music existed)
#4 In Flames - Come Clarity (Every single song can makes lists of why this album is so amazing)
#3 After the Burial - Evergreen (Literally changed my outlook on heavy music)
#2 Children of Bodom - Follow the Reaper (I bough this album in 2012 from apple music on my ipod touch 4g after finding some songs from the album on GHtunes custom songs community for Guitar Hero 5 on the wii. Heavy music was new to me and didn't think it could be melodic and catchy)
#1 All that Remains - The fall of ideals (Need I say anything. This album fucks)
I still think that the Fall of Ideals is still the greatest album ever made. Follow the reaper slinks above it every now and then cause they both follow a nostalgic side
It was so awesome to hear Nik mention alexisonfire, loved Watch Out as well. I don't hear a lot of metal or even metal adjacent people mention them on these channels but they are probably the single biggest influence on me personally getting into heavier music and metal in general. Beautiful clean vocals and great arrangements and songwriting. I know they were huge in canada but I really think theyre still underrated. I wish DG hadn't pursued city and colour so hard and we would have gotten more ST - Crisis type music.
Anyway, cool to hear you mention them Nik, love the vids. Our metal journey looks pretty similar!
36 crazyfists snow capped romance
KsE end of heartache
Both got me into metal core and my fave bands still.
Props on the 36 crazyfists mention.
Bloodwork and slit wrist theory are still in rotation on my playlists.
@@Jarlaxle_Baenre same
@@Jarlaxle_Baenre bitterness was my favourite album from them but Snow capped was close and what got me interested . Saw them live it was amazing
its cool to see your list, different albums can be wildly different for different people. every single album on this list is an album i always thought was trash but its cool to see the other side of the fence where these albums are life changing for someone
Dude, "I Won't See You Tonight Part 1" is literally my favorite song off the album. I agree when you said it's one of (imo) the most beautiful metal ballads ever.
Thx for the NikNok 💙😊
I agree with you on pretty much all of them the only ones I would add is either Killing with a Smile or Horzions by Parkway Drive
Watch Out album made a HUUUGE impact in my taste for music. Funny thing is, I was listening to it today on my way to work reliving nostalgia.
:D

The Stage is a masterpiece but the average A7X fan can't totally appreciate it which makes me pretty sad.
From 10,000 Fists 'Deify' was the one that smacked me! I totally agree with you with that As I Lay Dying album, that one changed my life too got me hooked instantly...
Does anyone know the band Diecast? They have a few albums and one is named Tearing down your blue skies and OMG that shit so fucking good it has every thing riffs,break downs ,screaming and singing and really powerful lyrics too , I highly recommend the song called Pendulum every needs to hear it!!
Bro! I feel like I'm the only one who knows that band lol. Rise and Oppose got me pumped! The video is hilarious also
@@Cuttubus76 yea same, your the first person I’ve seen talk about them other than me , I love the song Medieval so fucking badass
@@DSquare77 yeah Medieval is awesome! Diecast is very underrated
@@Cuttubus76 They need to make a come back
Almost had the same progression myself! Agreed BFMV - The Poison was my first screaming album I was really into. Even Dream Theater, I had the same experience where I found them in the late 2000s. KSE, Parkway Drive, In Flames (stemming back to MTV Headbangers ball, never got over that!) and Rammstein are some of my all time favs, and lately its been The Volumes, Architects and Amity Affliction. Gerderm there's so much good stuff out there.
My favourite albums are
Rise Against - Appeal to Reason
Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory
BFMV - Venom
(every BFMV album after discovering Venom)
BMTH - That's the spirit
Beyond the black - Songs of love and death
Nightwish - Endless forms most beautiful
FFAK - Dark Skies
Architects - Holy Hell
I guess these albums influenced my musical taste the most :)
B4MV last album in deluxe edition is like smashing you 'till you admit these guys are th sh*t
Rise against doesn't get enough love
rise against is amazing, siren song is my personal favorite of theirs but appeal to reason is great too
90% of your list
My personally favorite though:
Killswitch - alive or just breathing
August burns red - messengers
Erra - Augment
Make them suffer - old souls
Sikth - death of a dead day
More recently
Currents - place I feel safest
Polaris - death of me
Disturbed got me into metal.
So I'm glad you put a Disturbed album on here.
🤘🤙
I've thought about this for way too long but Hybrid Theory was the first heavy music I encountered.
Constellations - ABR
Killing with a smile - Parkway Drive
Stick to your guns - The Hope Divison
Stray From the Path - Make Your Own History
Killing Season - BMTH
Suicide Silence - The Cleansing
Knocked Loose- Pop Culture
Veil of Maya - It's not safe to swim today
Your Demise - Ignorance Never Dies
Sworn In - Start/End
that's off the top of my head, you can tell i ended up liking more hardcore stuff pretty early on.

10. Train of Thought - Dream Theater
Oh hell yeah, all bangers!

It’s interesting to see everyone’s list! So I decided to dig into my iTunes library (nostalgia) and made this: 10 albums introduced me to metal/metalcore
1. Dir en Grey - Withering to Death (2005) (UROBOROS is my favorite but this one opened the door for me)
2. Korn - Korn (1994)

9. Meshuggah - obZen (2008)
10. Utsu-P - Diarrhea (2009)
Wasnt expecting to see Utsu-P. nice list
These albums are really from a specific era. You talk about these albums exactly like I would talk about a lot of my favorite albums from the mid 90s.
Top 10 for me:
10. Baptized In Filth - Impending Doom
9. The Apostasy - Behemoth
8. Archetype - Fear Factory
7. No Time to Bleed - Suicide Silence
6. Around The Fur - Deftones
5. Nocturnal - The Black Dahila Murder
4. Iowa - Slipknot
3. Domination - Morbid Angel
2. The Blackening - Machine Head
1. L.D. 50 - Mudvayne
Oooohhh LD 50. I forgot all about that album!! What a GEM!!!
I don't usually listen to this kind of metal but I loved hearing you talk so passionately about these albums, makes me realize how much I also love my personal favourites!
aaand a little list from me as well:
Metallica "Ride the Lightning"
Megadeth "Peace Sells..." (these two started my love for metal)
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard "Infest the Rats' Nest" (my favourite metal album by a non-metal band)
Kat "666" (old school thrash from Poland)
Venom "Welcome to Hell" (a classic)
Coroner "Grin" (heavy, dark and psychedelic)
Morbid Angel "Altars of Madness" (my gateway into death metal)
Intruder "A Higher Form of Killing" (amazing thrash album)
Razor "Violent Restitution" (just insane)
although the truth is it's hard to pick just one album from any of these bands!
Not ten albums, but...
30 Seconds To Mars - A Beautiful Lie
- I fucking love this record. All I've known until then was one or two Billy Talent songs and german rock. This album was a massive game changer. I've heard this one a thousand times by now it feels like and still, I am not getting tired of it. It's just timeless and personally, one of my alltime favorite records ever.
Papa Roach - Lovehatetragedy
- I can remember it well - as a seven year old boy, I asked my mother if she could get me a Paramore album. She couldn't find one, so she instead got me Lovehatetragedy. And I think if there's one thing seven year old me and now twenty year old me can agree on, is that the album SLAPS. It has this big nu metal vibe, similar to the debut album, but with more melodic passages, with some variety here and there and so on. Black Clouds, Time and Time Again or the absolute freaking banger that is Decompression Period...all of them are amazing songs and this will always be my favorite Papa Roach album. The closest to this one is Infest.
Paramore - All We Know Is Falling
- If we talk about Paramore already, I can mention this one. I got into Paramore thanks to their song Decode (still my all time favorite song by them) and AWKIF was like my introduction to pop punk music. I don't have much to say here, it's just an awesome album. If you like pop punk and you don't know this record...what the hell, bro?
Bullet For My Valentine - Fever
- My brother is fan of the band, went to a concert of them and managed to get my mom into them. And who else got into them through him? Me, of course. Fever was the first BFMV record that I've listened to completely and I was obviously blown away. It was the first time I listened to a nearly six minute song, too! This album is just gold and while not as good as my fav Venom or The Poison, it still counts as a record I can listen to all the time and never get tired of it.
Billy Talent - Billy Talent III
- That comes as a surprise, but I mentioned before that I know them so, why not? Not much I can say here either, it's just a great album. The "shouts" and the snarky pop punk vocals of Ian make up for a real fun time. Tears Into Wine, bitches.
And finally.
Periphery III: Select Difficulty
- I FUCKING LOVE THIS ALBUM. Like if there's an album that I like that much, then it's P3. Others think about P1, P2 or Juggernaut, but P3 impacted me to an extent I didn't know was possible. It also helps that it came out during what I consider so far the best time of my life and every time I listen to this record, it's just a massive throwback. I could listen to this shit on repeat. But I have to put some shine on what is definitely the best song on the record and overall my fav song of the band - Flatline. I can't put the love I have for this song in words. Truly a fantastic record and also one of my all time favs. It's a massive surprise that Periphery managed to reach this peak with P4 AGAIN.
Drink every time Nik says "to this day"
My list:
1. Nightwish - Oceanborn
2. Between the Buried and Me - The Parallax II: Future Sequence
3. Linkin Park - A Thousand Suns
4. Periphery - Periphery II: This Time It's Personal
5. Faith No More - Angel Dust
Faith no more is the real deal man.
Singularity is still goated to this day. Hearing Quantum Flux for the first time when I was a kid… damn bro that shit changed my life. And they just kept releasing good albums after that ! God bless northlane
^^^^ Alien was another HUGE banger
@@NikNocturnal alien is in my top 10 of all time ngl
I'm a tiny bit older than most everyone else here, being an Xennial (mini-generation straddling Gen X and Gen Y). I spent my preadolescent years listening to Metallica and Megadeth, made it through the metal drought of the nineties on Pantera, Machine Head and Slayer, and discovered metalcore and melodeth in the early 2000s. In no particular order:
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Megadeth - Rust In Peace
Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power
Killswitch Engage - Alive or Just Breathing
In Flames - The Jester Raysce / Who - racle (it's a tie)
Moonspell - 1755
Su - ee - cidal Tendencies - How Will I Laugh Tomorrow
Corrosion of Conformity - Deliverance
Alice In Chains - Dirt / Jar of flies (another tie, and yes Jar counts because Nutshell is the most metal song ever recorded)
Slayer - Seasons In The Abyss
As you can tell, I'm not huge into metalcore - although I do enjoy it a lot. I'm subscribed to this channel because I like metal of all kinds and varieties, and I'm always looking to expand my horizons.
Gen X'er here, and a lot of the albums being named escape me! I lean more towards traditional heavy metal/thrash/melodeath.
Man WTF was one of my first too. Also an ocean between us by AILD
Nice picks! Honestly Systematic Chaos, Fall of Ideals, Waking the Fallen, and Periphery 2 should be considered sacred.
well done nik, i’m going to to listen to singularity for the rest of the day
Good
Hmmm... If we have to list 10 (In no particular order for me)
Slipknot - All Hope Is Gone
Recode the Subliminal - The Cost of Every Man
Be'lakor - Stone's Reach
Nightwish - Once
In Flames - Sounds of a Playground Fading
Attack Attack! - This Means War
Soilwork - The Ride Majestic
Asking Alexandria - Stand Up And Scream
Shadow of Intent - Reclaimer
Periphery - Juggernaut Alpha/Omega
It was really hard to limit it to front and back albums, instead of just "a smattering of everything they release" like it has been with a few perception changing fixations I've had, such as with a lot of Tool/Disturbed/A7x/SOAD as a kid, and a lot of Jinjer/Spiritbox/Infected Rain recently
1. Dark Tranquility - Fiction
2. In Flames - Colony, Sounds of a playground fading
3. Insomnium - Above the weeping world
4. Gojira - Magma
5. As I lay dying - shadows are security
6. Metallica - Master of puppets
7. Architects - For those that wish to exist
8. Mokoma - elävien kirjoihin
9. Death - the sound of Perseverance
10. Rammstein - Zeit
Not in any order just absolute bangers and beautiful albums.
Melodic death! Yeah
Great list. Love that Insomnium album. Killjoy is one my all time favorite songs.
Before I start this video, I’m gonna list the albums that changed my life. I’m just curious how similar it is to your list. Considering In the thumbnail. I saw a couple that are on my list.
1. Avenged sevenfold- waking the fallen
2. Killswitch engage- alive or just breathing
3. As I lay dying- frail words collapse
4. Eighteen visions-obsession
5. 36 crazyfists- a snow capped romance
6. All that remains- this darkened heart
7. Atreyu- the curse
8. Lamb of god- ashes of the wake
9. Shadows fall- the art of balance
10.arch enemy- anthems of rebellion.
Of course there are other albums that changed my life down the road. But these are the albums that started it all for me. The ones that sent me on a metalcore journey, or sent me on the path to wanting to discover more metal bands. Before these albums, I was listening to 80’s hair metal, punk rock, and ska music. I listened to bands like korn, sevendust, and staind. But avenged sevenfold waking the fallen was the band that got me into the screaming type of metal. They’re not in any order, except for the top 3. When as I lay dying shadows are security, killswitch engage end of heartache, and trivium Ascendancy came out. Those albums really impacted my life.

Solid picks my dude
@@ilcarnifex Yeah underated classic that bridges the gap perfectly between classic heavy metal and core.
Dude...WTF is and Fall Of Ideals are also some of my fav albums from my budding metal days. Gotta say Desecrate Through Reverance, Iwsyt pt 1 and 2, and Second Heartbeat for my picks on WTF. Fall of ideals...probably Weak willed,Whispers,Air,This Calling,Six,Become the Catalyst, Indictment. Shannon Lucas was the drummer for that album too, who also played for Dahlia. (RIP Trevor!)
Heres a story about Fall of Ideals. I befriended the best friend of Oli Herbert posthumously, and he gifted me Oli's college notebook. The cover of this yellow notebook is COVERED in resin.
RIP Oli.
Linkin Park and Avenged Sevenfold were the main bands that really got me into metal
For me it was the same bands with System of a down and Evanescence with it, i know most of them are not metal, but they were gateway bands for me

I literally spent 2 weeks to download the whole Ten Thousand Fists in 128kbps quality, because of poor 28.8 kbps (3-3.5 kb per second). Each track felt so precious, so important!
Same for The Poison, especially bonus tracks.
Holy shit, nostalgia kills me.
0:17 I just love the 140p thumbnail, true A7X experience on TH-cam
