*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
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!
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
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. The Devil Wears Prada - With Roots Above And Branches Below
9. Katatonia - Dead End Kings
10. Erra - Augment
Katatonia!!!
@@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
For me:
-still life(Opeth)
-Ghost reveries(Opeth)
-Images and words( Dream theater)
-Metropolis pt.2(Dream theater)
-Korn(Korn)
-Lateralus(Tool)
-Obzen(Meshuggah)
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!
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.
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
Wait a minute
D:
@@NikNocturnal whale core
😅😅😅😅😅
I wont see you tonight part 1 is not only the most underrated songs ever, it is my favorite song ever
Such a beautiful banger
@@NikNocturnal really is. my dream is for them to play it live at Royal Albert Hall or a place like it with a full orchestra behind them
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
ink is incredible
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
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
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'
Constellations is one of the greatest albums ever made! ABR became my favourite band after that.
My top 3
3 - Toxicity - System Of a Down
2 - Sempiternal - Bring Me the Horizon
1 - As daylight Dies - Killswitch Engage
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🙌
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.
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
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
August Burns Red’s Thrill Seeker is what got me hooked. And that Northlane album was just perfection. Really miss Adrian and old Northlane. 😢
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
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 top 5:
-Korn - Untouchables
-Thrawsunblat - Metachthonia
-Moongates Guardian - Leave the Northern Mountains
-Svartby - Elemental Tales
-Death -The Sound of Perseverance
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
love the stone sour pick
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.
So glad that these bands and albums got you into metalcore. I got into it through them as well
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
Finally someone acknowledging Breaking Benjamin
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 🤘
For sure, this darkened heart is responsible for sending me on my metalcore journey. One of the albums anyway
Agreed, but I think they don’t get credit because of their other albums lol.
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"
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!
My 10 albums (Off the top of my head) that got me into metal:
Metallica - And Justice for All
Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss
Megadeth - Rust in Peace
Lamb of God - Ashes of the Wake
All that Remains - The Fall of Ideals
Killswitch Engage - The End of Heartache
August Burns Red - Messengers
Dimmu Borgir - Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia
Amon Amarth - Twilight of the Thunder God
Dethklok - The Dethalbum
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
OG Alexisonfire is insane!
@@NikNocturnal Big time
My top 5:
Arch Enemy - Wages of Sin
Asphyx - The Rack
Megadeth - Rust in Peace
In Flames - The Jester Race
Judas Priest - Painkiller
Love this video!
It was quite the nostalgia bomb seeing those album covers
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.
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
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
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.
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.
Metallica - And Justice For All
Children of Bodom - Hatebreeder
Bullet for my Valentine - The Poison
Edit: seeing a bunch of different Children of Bodom albums in the comments makes me really happy :)
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
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...
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
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
I think The Fall of Ideals has a claim to the greatest metalcore album of all time, absolute masterpiece in every aspect
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.
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!
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
same here at first i thought one step closer was too heavy for me haha but look at me now
1.Parkway drive: horizons
2. Thy art is murder: hate
3. Whitechapel: Whitechapel
4. Slipknot: .5 gray chapter
5. Disturbed: Asylum
6. Asking alexandria: reckless and relentless
7. Stone sour: Audio secrecy
8. Mudvayne: Lost and found
9. Breaking benjamin: phobia
10. Ice nine kills: every trick in the book
All of those are absolute bangers
@@NikNocturnal Agreed Oh wise mr. Popovic
Picked the worst slipknot album imo
@@goCubsgo102 thats your opinion. I hated vol 3, thats the only album i didnt like and .5 had so much emotion in it
@@WHOREHAMMER_OFFICIAL yep that's what imo means. Definitely emotional post Paul death but it didn't really translate to great songs. Negative one was really good, devil in I and skeptic both good, but that's it.
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
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

Mine probably:
1. A7X - Waking The Fallen
2. Trivium - In Waves
3. Architects - Holy Hell
4. BFMV - Scream Aim Fire
5. Suicide Silence - The Cleansing
6. Periphery - PIII: Select Difficulty
7. Spiritbox - Eternal Blue
8. Slipknot - All Hope is Gone
9. Meshuggah - Obzen
10. BMTH - Sempiternal
Holy Hell is a masterpiece
@@ericlenhart6343 no cap, man. That's the one got me open to more bands out there, especially the modern metalcore.
Disturbed got me into metal.
So I'm glad you put a Disturbed album on here.
🤘🤙
Through Struggle changed my life dude. At the time. I never heard a song with such deep meaning. It did it all for me.
I was obsessed with that and All These Things I Hate... and ATR Six
Just seen The Fall of Ideals 15th anniversary show. So good damn good to hear all those songs live.
I've thought about this for way too long but Hybrid Theory was the first heavy music I encountered.

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!
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
Since nobody asked, here's my list:
Metallica - Ride the Lightning (1984)
Stratovarius - Visions (1997)
Children of Bodom - Hatebreeder (1999)
Ensiferum - Ensiferum (2000)
Wintersun - Wintersun (2004)
Arch Enemy - Doomsday Machine (2005)
Lamb of God - Sacrament (2006)
Dark Tranquillity - Fiction (2007)
Behemoth - Evangelion (2009)
Dream Theater - A Dramatic Turn of Events (2011)
ah yes dream theater ❤
Dark Tranquillity rules!
But Nik asked, it's the pinned comment lol
Hatebreeder 🤝
Hatebreeder>>>>>
One album that comes to mind in this category is Miasma by The Black Dahlia Murder. The first time I heard Novelty Crosses, I was absolutely in love. Album is so freaking amazing. RIP to my boy Trevor Strnad, you are definitely missed brother.
Lifelines by I Prevail is the #1 reason why i love metal and is what got me into it, ill never forget the feeling of listening to the whole album for the first time, then immediately listening to it again.
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 💙😊
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
Really good video 📹 👌 really gonna have to listen to all that remains, dream theater, and northlane now. I also love strickened as much as you.
soo happy to find out that we have almost the same taste, i was probably 14 when i first heard Quantum flux and its still one of my most favorite songs, for me the band that introduced me to metal and changed my life was As a lay dying, particularly the song Overcome, awesome stuff
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)

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)
Wasnt expecting to see Utsu-P. nice list
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.
Sooooo glad some one else loves I Wont See You Tonight pt 1 too. Still one of my favs
My most istened to has evolved over time but as new hallmarks of music have changed my taste as a whole, even if i liked that style still or prior.
With that being said this my current top 10 life changing albums for reasons specific to both that band and the album release timeline.
In no exact order:
A7X- Waking the Fallen
BMTH- Count Your Blessings, Suicide Season
BMFV - V(enom)
Crystal Lake - True North
Periphery - P3: Select Difficulty
Thy Art Is Murder - Hate
Disturbed - Asylum
Su!c!de Silence- The Cleansing
Fit For A King - Creation/Destruction
Metal albums that had a pivotal influence on my taste in metal
1. End of heartache- Killswitch engage
2. Waking the fallen- A7X
3. Ten thousand fist- disturbed
4. Take a look in the mirror & follow the leader- Korn (listened to both albums when I first discovered them)
5. Through the ashes of empires- Machine Head
6. The blackening- Machine Head
7. Death album- DethKlok
8. Hillbilly Deluxe- Rob Zombie
9. Mesmerize- system of a down
10. Reclaimer- Shadow of intent (after years of hating deathcore SOI got me on board and now I'm exploring the genre more)
For me (born mid 90's):
1. Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory
2. Bullet for My Valentine - The Poison
3. Escape the Fate - Dying is Your Latest Fashion
4. Trivium - Shogun
5. Periphery - Periphery II
6. 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
Hybrid Theory is definitely GOAT'd
Inspire EP best girl
Fuck yeah man i was looking for Shogun in the comments
Solid picks my dude
@@ilcarnifex Yeah underated classic that bridges the gap perfectly between classic heavy metal and core.
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.
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.
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
My favorites are
1. Hybrid Theory - Linkin Park
2. Self titled album - A7X
3. All hope is gone - Slipknot
4. Sempiternal - BMTH
5. Indestructible - Disturbed
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
My first metal band was Korn. I loved the heaviness of the bass and guitar as well as the harmonies in the choruses. The song that gripped me to heavier metal was Everything I've Known. Hearing "THEN WE FIGHT" got me hooked. My step dad raised me on 80s metal so I wanted to find something that had more unique guitar riffs. I heard Bullet For My Valentine's Hearts Burst Into Fire on MTV and thought it was awesome so I listened to all of The Poison and Scream Aim Fire and loved those as well. Years went by and I found my brother's iPod. I listened to some songs to find new bands and then I heard it. I heard The Deceived by Trivium and it blew me away. That's when I searched for that kind of metal and This Calling and Two Weeks by All That Remains locked me into metal for life.
My top 10 Metal albums that also changed my life (not in a particular order) :
1. Slipknot - Self Titled
2. Bullet for my Valentine - The Poison
3. Structures - Divided By
4. Humanity's Last Breath - Abyssal
5. Dream Theater - Awake
6. Children of Bodom - Are You Dead Yet?
7. Parkway Drive - Horizons
8. Tool - Lateralus
9. Meshuggah - Obzen
10. Alpha Wolf - a quiet place to die
Cob ftw
Horizons yessssirr
I'm admittedly angry that Periphery isn't in your list, given your picture
@@yuugur666 I was waiting for someone to mention horizons by PWD
Thrill Seeker - August Burns Red
Discovering this album in 2005 changed my life. Never heard of metalcore or even understood what metal really was before this album came out. I had heard of some of the more radio friendly Demon Hunter singles, because of youth group/church, but nothing got me invested until ABR.
A7X - Nightmare is Nº1. When I first heard the nightmare intro I was put into a trance, and then checking out The Rev and Mike Portnoy made me wanna learn drums.
Trivium - Shogun
Amberian Down - The Clouds of Northland Thunder
ABR - Messengers / Constelations
DT - Systematic Chaos was the same thing, it was mind bolgling
Woe is Me - Fame > Demise
Cannibal Corpse - The Wretched Spawn
Animals as leaders - The Joy of Motion
TesseracT - Altered State
All these albums were what got me more into heavy music. Went from listening to Breaking Benjamin when I was 6 years old to listening to Deathcore and Modern Metalcore today at 22.
1. Phobia By Breaking Benjamin
2. Disambiguation by Underoath
3. Disgusting by Beartooth
4. Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
5. Scream Aim Fire by Bullet For MY Valentine
6. The Flood by Of Mice & Men
7. Blueprints by Wage War
8. Iowa by Slipknot
9. Ten Thousand Fists by Disturbed
10. The Fall of Ideals by All That Remains
It's a shame that all that remains went to shit due to the vocalist having a massive ego.
System of a Down - Hypnotize
Children of Bodom - Blooddrunk
Opeth - Ghost Reveries
Slipknot - Subliminal Verses
Asking Alexandria - Stand Up and Scream
Between the Buried and Me - Parallax II
Avenged Sevenfold - Avenged Sevenfold
Bring Me The Horizon - Count Your Blessings
Blooddrunk is so, so good.
My favorite album by Opeth will always be blackwater park. What a masterpiece of an album. In my opinion, they have never been able to top that album.
Blooddrunk is seriously underrated
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
My introduction to DT and Prog was Systematic Chaos as well. I bought it on a whim because some friends talked about the band. Been a massive fan ever since
I was pretty stoked to see you mention Alexisonfire!!
not necessarily all metal but heres my top 10 albums:
1. Colors - Between The Buried And Me
2. Koloss - Meshuggah
3. City of Evil - Avenged Sevenfold
4. Metropolis, Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory - Dream Theater
5. The 2nd Law - Muse
6. Shogun - Trivium
7. Royal Blood - Royal Blood
8. The Further Side - Nova Collective
9. Vector - Haken
10. Zodiac Arrest - ChuggaBoon
Dude…shogun…insurrection riff introduced me to a solid metalcore riff (I know it wasn’t the first but it showed me the style)
Colors was what got me into metal as well! One of my favorite albums of all time, if not my favorite. What are your thoughts on Colors II?
Man WTF was one of my first too. Also an ocean between us by AILD
Hands down, ten thousand fists started my metal journey but all hope is gone sealed the deal. I couldn't tell you how many times I would crank the songs up with nfs:mw especially when the Disturbed - decadence came on. Such amazing memories
If I had to do metal albums of all metal genres that changed how I listen to music and my interest I would have to randomly pick:
1. As I Lay Dying- The Powerless Rise
2. Born of Osiris- The Discovery
3. All That Remains- The Fall of Ideals
4. Periphery- II
5. Kamelot- The Black Halo
6. Parkway Drive- Atlas
7. The Human Abstract- Digital Veil
8. After The Burial- Rareform
9. Killswitch Engage- As Daylight Dies
10. Scar Symmetry- Holographic Universe
There are so many others that would be super up there HM's like Invent Animate, Tesseract, The Air I Breathe, Architects, The Contortionist, Megadeth, Metallica, Northlane, Red, We Came As Romans, etc
