1990 definitely. Rust, Painkiller, CFH, Facelift, and don't sleep on Persistence of Time!
Can't forget Spirtual Healing
Just an omega based year
Deicide, Cause of Death, Left hand Path, The Key, Harmony Corruption, Slaughter in the Vatican, Seasons in the Abyss, By Inheritance and Eaten Back to Life are some solid 1990 albums
Testament in the 90’s man
@@coded52 Preach!!
1986: Reign in Blood, Pleasure to Kill, Master of Puppets, Darkness Descends, Morbid Visions, Doosmday for the Deceiver, Epicus Doomicus Metallicus, Eternal Devastation, Beyond the Gates. Nothing left to say.
peace sells
29 years old for me. I would say I have a hard time deciding between 86 and 90.
86 had Master of Puppets, Reign in Blood, Peace Sells, Somewhere In Time…
90 had Rust in Peace, Painkiller, Cowboys From Hell, Persistence of Time and Spiritual Healing… So hard to choose!
Gen Z kid here, and this is a question I myself can’t answer, but I can answer what I think is metals best decade, mainly because going with a singular year, I’m abhorrently indecisive about. But when it comes to best decade, I have to go with the 90’s. Mainly for the reasons of we had the height of Pantera in that decade, Death released albums such as Human and Symbolic in that decade, Fear Factory released their first three albums that decade, Meshuggah released things like the None EP, Destroy, Erase, Improve, and Chaosphere that decade, Sepultura pumped out Chaos A.D. in that decade, brutal death metal was officially born that decade (which would make 1991 a major contender for my best year simply because that’s when brutal death metal kicked off), and in 1996, my favorite death metal release, None So Vile by Cryptopsy, was released. As for year, like I said, probably 1991 because that’s when brutal death metal was kind of born, or 1996 simply because None So Vile came out, and I dickride that album to hell and back. The funniest part about this is the fact that, I was born in 2004 (my birthday was recently actually), so I wasn’t even able to live out that decade
I'd give 1995 a nod as well.
Fear Factory - Demanufacture
At the Gates - Slaughter of the Soul
Rammstein - Herzeleid
Down - Nola
Alice in Chains - Self Titled
White Zombie - Astro Creep 2000
Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane
Meshuggah - Destry Erase Improve
It's 1986. Reign In Blood, Peace Sells... But Who's Buying, Master Of Puppets and Somewhere In Time were all released that year. Slayer, Megadeth (until Rust In Peace came out), Metallica and Iron Maiden all released what I consider to be their best albums that year.
I stand by this comment right here.
I came in to say the same thing.
2001. Toxicity, Lateralus, Iowa, Blackwater park... Just to mention a few. There are other options I was thinking of but 2001 is a year that's so important to metal today whether it's death, prog, alternative or nu metal.
I'm 19 to answer your question.
2001 is another great choice. We also have Silver Side Up by Nickleback (extremely underrated imo) and Mandrake by Edguy
2001 was good, but 2003 was Better in my opinion. Manson, Nothingface, and Mushroomhead all released their best albums. Maiden had Dances With Death. Children of Bodom had Hatecrew Deathroll, Lamb of God As The Palaces Burn, Strapping Young Lad and Deftones with Self Titles. Dimmu Borgir had a release, Damageplan was created, Tesseract formed. Primus, Judas Priest, and Fear Factory got back together.
@@justinlast2lastharder749and also has Fallen - Evanescence, Meteora - Linkin Park, Self Destructive Pattern - Spineshank, Seasons - Sevendust, TALITM - Korn, Every Given Moment - Stereomud, Faceless - Godsmack, The Link - Gojira, Ember to Inferno - Trivium, Through the Ashes of Empire - Machine Head, Enemies of Reality - Nevermore, One Lie Fits All - One Minute Silence, Roorback - Sepultura, P.O.D. and Three Days Grace Self-titled albums and many more.
1994 has so many good albums. Dookie, When the Kite String Pops, Cleansing, Betty, In Utero, the Downward Spiral, Superunknown, Jar of Flies, Burn my Eyes, Deliverance, Korn’s Debut, Point Blank, Far Beyond Driven, and the Crow Soundtrack. This is from a Gen Z person.
86 is unbeatable imo. Born in 92.
In more recent time, 2012 was a phenomenal year for me! Cattle Decap - Monolith of Inhumanity, Sylosis - Monolith, Allegaeon - Fragments of Form & Function, Dir En Grey - Dum Spiro Spero. All monumental albums for me.
Don’t forget Meshuggah - Koloss
1986. Master of Puppets, Peace Sells, Reign in Blood, Pleasure to Kill, Darkness Descends... I am 54.
Since anyone hasn't mentioned it, to me 1983 is also very strong contender for the best year in metal. There's ton of classics from that year: Maidens Piece of Mind, Acid S/T and Maniac, Jaguar - Power Games, Metallica - Kill em All, Slayer - Show no Mercy, Exciter - Heavy metal maniac, Saxon - Power and Glory, Dio - Holy Diver, Ozzy - Bark at the Moon, Warlord - Deliver Us, Manilla Road - Crystal Logic, Manowar - Into glory ride, Thin Lizzy - Thunder and Lightning, Accept - Balls to the Wall...
And I probably still forgot quite a few classic albums...
Oh. And I was born in 1992, whatever generation that makes me...?
I'm really into thrash metal.. so I'm gonna have to go with 1986.. and I was born in 1997 🤘
1990 by far more bands an more albums that I love came out then I’m also 22
Gen Z here (born in 2006), as much I love modern metalcore e nu metal bands like, Knocked Loose, Spiritbox, Silly Goose, Pupil Slicer, Hanabie, Blackgold, Omerta, Sleep Token, Gel, Glare and many others, I will pick the 90s as a whole, since for me it was in that decade that metal would start to develop as a genre, with many different bands bring new type different sounds that eventually we know, but if I had to choose a year, it will be 94, 96 and 99.
Honorable mention for 1970: Deep Purple In Rock. What a "metal" staple and an amazing album!
Millennial here. Aww, man, metal has had A LOT of great years. The weaselly answer is to say that CURRENT YEAR is the best year for metal cos we have the privilege of hearing every metal release ever made.
But an individual year based on it's significance? Man, shieeet, I'll go with 1980 for Heaven and Hell and Ace of Spades alone. 1990 with Painkiller and Rust in Peace would be second.
Good picks my fellow millennial
1986 for me although 1984 is close 2nd.
Metallica/ Master of Puppets
Queensrÿche/ Rage for Order
Megadeth / Peace Sells..
Just those three albums alone.
Plus David Lee Roth propels Steve Vai into the national spotlight with Eat'em and Smile and his playing all over that album is insane .
Iron Maiden / Somewhere in Time
Loudness / Lightning Strikes
Cinderella / Night Songs
Ratt / Dancing Undercover
Ozzy / The Ultimate Sin
Slayer / Reign in Blood
Rough Cutt / Wants You
Tesla / Mechanical Resonance
Dark Angel / Darkness Descends
Metal Church / The Dark
Stryper / To Hell with the Devil (you actually highlighted a song from their 1985 album in this)
Kreator / Pleasure to Kill
Dio / Intermission EP
Hardcore? CroMags and Crumbsuckers
I think 86 is the last year before record companies started signing too many bands that just weren't worthy of being on the international stage.
My pick is 1986, I’m 20 years old and am a huge fan of Peace Sells and Somewhere in Time.
I’m 19 and for me 2022 was the best year for Metal.
- Celebrity Therapist by The Callous Daoboys is the most diverse metal album ever.
- God’s Country by Chat Pile is bone crushing sludge metal
-Hiss by Wormrot is the best grindcore since Pig Destroyer
- Island by Asunojokei is stupid fun
- We’re Not Here to Be Loved by Fleshwater updates alt/metalcore from the MySpace era
- Hostile Architecture by Ashenspire has funny angry Scottish man yelling at me
1986 is gonna get my vote
think 99 needs a shoutout with issues, significant other, slipknot, hatebreeder and necrophagists debut
It's a close race between 1980 and 1986 for me, because both years had incredible Albums released in my two favourite metal subgenres
1988 for me: AJFA, Danzig´s debut, Seventh Son, No Rest For The Wicked, Ram It Down (maybe not their best album but they never sounded better live), Kings Of Metal and Vivid (Living Colour) come to my mind.
so far so good as well, state of euphoria, blood fire death, south of heaven... its just keeps going
Was leprosy 1988 as well!
Keeper Of The Seven Keys 2 (Helloween), Operation Mindcrime (Queensryche), Port Royal (Running Wild)... The list is endless, haha.
Nice. Also in 1988
Operation Mindcrime
Fates Warning-No Exit
Hell yeah. 1988 also had testament’s the new order and razor’s violent restitution
Love the channel. Generation X here. Aaaaaand if I’m going to pick one I’d have to go with 1986. As you said that was the year where the genre was clearly defined. Also, BIG UPS for mentioning Fates Warming. I’d say Queensrÿche-Rage For Order deserves to be in the conversation. Awesome video, so I’m going with 1986.
Queensryche is such an under rated band. Best of the lot, and Geoff tate is such a beast.
Born in 1973, I was 12 when I first listened to Thrash Metal and Megadeth,Metallica and Slayer were the shit. My favorite period was when the Grunge era came along, I heard you mention AIC with facelift but, Tool and Rage against the machine, corrosion of conformity,God Smack And White Zombie's Devil music were awesome. I started playing guitar at age 12 and took to it fast so this was a very refreshing era for me and it expanded my chops in many ways. Don't forget about Death Angel especially the first 3 albums. Testament and Accept were cool back in the day. Ever since I heard Coheed and Cambria in the early 2000's they have become my all time favorite band...my top 3 bands would be Megadeth, Tool and STP or Smashing pumpkins. what are your thoughts on these bands ?
Love Megadeth, love TOOL and STP need to listen to more Smashing Pumpkins though as well as Death Angel! Good picks sir
1990 for me, I was in High School.
Rust in Peace, Cowboys, Empire, Seasons, Painkiller, Coma of Souls, The Eye, Persistence, Neverland, Soldiers of Misfortune, fucking Act III!
My favorite year is definitely 1980. Bands like Motorhead, Diamond Head, Judas Priest, Ozzy Osbourne, Iron Maiden (my personal favorite metal band) and so much more that year. So many classic bands that year specifically inspired other bands including me and they still a headbanger today.
Mid 1990s baby here, I’m mostly only a thrash metal fan so easily 1986 for me but all the years of 84-90 had banger albums dropping every year
I'd say my favorite is 2001. Lateralus, Blackwater park, Toxicity, Iowa, Mutter, a pretty stacked year.
I'm from Gen Z and I say 1986 because of all the great thrash albums that came out that year.
1994 because that's when Purgatory Afterglow dropped
Love this video, and I kinda agreed with all those years.
I was born in 1989 and for me the best year of metal is either 86 or 90, as for the years that you might have left behind are 07 and 08... the highlight for 07 would be Fire up the blades by 3 inches of blood and systemic chaos by dream theater. and for 08 would be ObZen by Messhugah and the way of all flesh by Gojira.
I think your gonna go far man!🎉
Honestly dude, he’s on FIRE.
I’m barely in gen z, born in 2010.For me I can’t chose so I’ll have to go with 1988-1996, AJFA , basically every death album, rust in peace, every single Pantera album, and this in ‘99 but slipknot self titled, countdown to destruction, images and words, Korn self titled, roots,Ænima, undertow, every aic album(basically metal), undertow. I know it’s not 1 year but it was very difficult to decide
2000 was a HUGE drop in quality IMO. The other years you listed were all excellent and have many classics, but the music of 2000 was so manufactured and plastic as to be pretty meh. 1990 or 1986 are my choices for "best year" in metal. Thanks for the video. \m/
Is a drop in quality if you only scratched the tip of the iceberg, when you go a little deeper you see how 2000's have tons of great releases. Most of them overshadowed by the trending alt metal radio albums.
As a 22 year old my favorite era of music was the early 2000s. I just absolutely love the nu metal, alternative metal/rock and especially the melodic metalcore that released during that time. As for best year of metal it's hard to pick one because so many amazing albums kept dropping every year throughout the history of metal that it's just hard to pinpoint one single year. Also, another fantastic album to add that released in 2013 was Gorgut's album Colored Sands, that album is an amazing death metal album
1986
Thats so dope you used the footage of megadeth playing a small venue near my house in 1986
1984. Thank you.
My favourite decades are 90's and 2010's, in this decade my fav years are 2013 and 2017, a lot of very strong releases.
When has anyone said that a 3-peat is repeating 3 times? I think you're mistaken. Your first thought is correct.
As a 19 year old I say 1990. Cowboys from hell, Rust in peace, Painkiller, Passion and warfare, Persistence of time so many good releases. Just a little bit after Justice and a little bit before Images and words, possibly my 2 favorite metal albums I'm not sure tho.
Now that I think about it '88 was also really great with Justice, Seventh son, The new order, So far so good so what, Go off and Marty Friedman and Jason Becker's solo albums, Yngwie's odyssey. Dang it's hard
I'm GenX so I'm going to lean more towards the 80s for sure. So choosing between 1984 and 1990. I'd probably go with 1990. Sacred Reich's The American Way also came out that year and I love that record.
The best concentrated time for me was the last week of Aug 2001/first week of Sep 2001 when Slipknot's Iowa and System of Down's Toxicity came out within a week of each other.
90s decade obviously, but can't pick an exact year.
Strapping Young Lad's City, Ocean Machine: Biomech by Devy too, Faith No More's Angel Dust and King For A Day, Gorguts's Obscura, Cryptopsy's None So Vile, Burzum's Filosofem... And a lot more
Sludge is my favorite genre, so it's easily '94 for me.
I was born in 2004 and I discovered metal a few years ago by very weird means.. i think the best year for me is 1986
Hey that Def Leppard clip from the year 1980 @3:00 is the song "Lady Strange" which was released on the "High and Dry" album in 1981.
1990 or 1994 for me, I'm a Zoomer!
Last decade would be 2016 for me
Vektor, Be'lakor, Insomnium, Fates Warning, Khemmis, Obscura Anaal and so many more.
2016 was such a good year for rap too, man yeah you are right
Loving your shit man! Glad I found your channel!
Hey man! Thanks so much!
For me 2005. City of Evil by A7X, The Poison by BFMV, Gojira's From Mars To Sirius. Also two albums by System of a Down, best Disturbed album and as Pole I must mention Riverside's (polish prog rock/metal band) second album. If I say about polish bands then also The Art of War EP by Vader was sick, This is the War is their best song for me. Oh and also Korn released pretty good album.
But 2000, 2003 and 2008 were also good
Gen X here: no mention of MESHUGGAH?!?!
I gotta say 1990, cfh, rust in peace, season, persistence in time, painkiller and arise by sepultura, cmon that’s unbeatable
1988 is pretty good, Seventh Son and Mindcrime being some of the best concept albums ever, Keeper Part 2 is excellent, AJFA, So Far So Good So What and State of Euphoria are all of high quality
I was born in 99, I agree 90 is my pick, so many perfect records.
I think there’s an argument for 91 as well, Arise by Sepultura, War Master by Bolt Thrower, Soldiers of Misfortune by Sacrifice, Mental Vortex by Coroner, HUMAN from Death, 1916 from Motörhead, Twilight of the Gods by Bathory, Necroticism by Carcass, Idolatry by Devastation (listen if u haven’t heard fkn amazing band from texas) Envenom by Sabbat
I’m sure there’s others I’m missing. While the big thrash bands were changing their sounds or taking a break, all these other bands were releasing some of their best material. Really a killer year and my number 2 after 1990
cool video i would have to say the best year for metal imo is 1986 so many great metal albums by kreator,metallica,megadeth,slayer,destruction,nuclear assault,iron maiden,ozzy,metal church and much more great metal albums that year
As a death metal fan for me its obviously 1993, so many fucking releases that year its hard to count
Probably 1986... i am 22 years old
Good choice sir
DOOM FUNERAL GOTHIC METAL
thank you for Agreeing with Iommi impunity
Easly 1990, i am generation z but i discorvered metal only last year and its now my life. Rust in Peace, left hand path, painkiller, spiritual healing, there is so much good death and thrash metal from 1990 and i love it
the 90's were the best. Best stylistic diversity ( from Black to Death to Groove to Prog to Industrial) AND modern bands and styles were embraced. Nowadays, we seem to be stuck in the past and EVERYTHING modern seems to be rejected by the scene
It is really hard for me to pin down. I started with the classic 70s and 80s in metal, but my favorite albums of all time are in the 00s (Mastodon's Crack The Skye, Meshuggah's Obzen, Tool's Lateralus and Gojira's From Mars To Sirius for example). But I think I would go with either 1990 (great thrash records like Rust In Peace and Seasons In The Abyss, great death metal records, Pantera's Cowboys From Hell etc.), 1986 (no need to explain this one) or 1999 (Opeth's Still Life, Dream Theater's Metropolis Pt. 2, Immortal's At The Heart Of Winter, Children Of Bodom's Hatebreeder and a lot of good prog and extreme metal albums). So yeah, really hard to pin down.
Even without a fight, for me it's 1986. Too much influential and genre-defining albums. Besides those mentioned in the video, there Obsessed by Cruelty, Pleasure to Kill, Darkness Descends and Eternal Devastation that were of great influence for future black and death metal albums. Born Too Late and Malicious Intent are honorable mentions aswell
im not sure theres just so much great metal in every year of the last 54 years
edit: oh yeah and im gen z and i would say sometime in the early to mid 2000s, there is a lot of nu metal groove metal and metalcore albums i love
Dude, non-stop phenomenal content, incredible. Don't know if you pre-record a ton and then release or if you do these videos frequently but seriously, the amount of well researched/thought out content is amazing. Keep 'em comin!!!
Thanks fam! I work in a resturaunt at night so It gives me time to work all day on videos. And instead of staying up all night like a degenerate I just get up early and hit the grind
Cheers fam ❤️❤️
Comment how many times I said "I mean" 😂
how many times I said "I mean" 😂
lots of good metal from 1994 probably one of the greatest years for sure!!! 1996 was awesome with Pantera and Corrosion of Conformity. 2003 was good Black Label Society and Marylin Manson. Keep up the great metal videos mate!! btw i'm from 1980
As a Gen X'er, 1990 was probably the most overall influential year for me of these listed, but 2001 and 2005 were huge just for the release of Opeth's Blackwater Park and Ghost Reveries. Not even taking into account what else came out in those years, those two albums changed my world.
I love 70's and 80's
UFO with schenker and scorpions songs with schenker and later uli john roth rock was more popular n the 70's
80's love the erra of metallica megadeth ozzy praying mantis diamond head
Angel witch
Gen Alpha here (2010)
I believe 2004 was the best year for metal releases. For two specific releases: Necrophagist’s Epitaph and Onset of Putrefaction LPs
Definitely from 1984 - 1990 are the best 6 years of Metal they have some of the biggest metal classics coming out.
1990 but I could believe an argument for 1991 or 1992.
1991.Gen X born early 70's.
Late Gen X ('78). I started saying 1994 was the best year some time around 1997. Nothing's changed. That whole early to mid ninties era was unreal. 1993 had Sepultura - Chaos AD and Carcass - Heartwork and 1995 had Fear Factory - Demanufacture and Meshuggah - Destroy, Erase, Improve.
But it peaked in '94 with Machine Head - Burn My Eyes, Pantera - Far Beyond Driven, Slayer - Divine Intervention, Nailbomb - Point Blank, Meshuggah - None and Corrosion Of Conformity - Deliverence. Doesn't get much better for a 15-16yr old metalhead.
Damn, what was it like being around in 94 and hearing all that stuff come out? Must have been bonkers
@@VARVIS_ It was pretty awesome! I was a bit too young to get into metal during the 80s, and I was in Australia, so I didn't get to witness the 80s Thrash explosion first-hand, but seeing the early 90s Post-Thrash/Groove scene unfold instead was the next best thing, I imagine. I remember my best mate buying Divine Intervention on the day of release and bringing it straight over to my place, where we sat on my bedroom floor and listened to about 4 times in a row.
It was still pre-internet days, so news from the US and Europe took awhile to get to us, but we have an all-night music TV show over here called Rage that's been airing non-stop music videos every Friday night/Saturday morning and Saturday night since the late 80s. It used to have the occasional night where they'd play nothing but metal and I'd pop a tape into the VCR, set it to record and go to bed. You could get 3 hours on a tape, and I'd get up the next morning and go through it looking for new bands I hadn't heard of yet.
The first time I'd ever heard Machine Head was finding the video for Davidian on one of those tapes. Same with Deftones and the My Own Summer video. Blew my mind.
In fairness, it was probably due more to being a particular age at a particular time. My dad was 15 when he heard Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love on the radio for the first time in 1969. That would have been amazing!
You forgot Decapitated's Winds of Creation for 2000
Gen X - 1988
My Best Year is a Hard One and mostly for things people wont call "Metal". 2003. Three of My All Time Favorite Albums. Golden Age of Grotesque by Manson, Skeletons by Nothingface, and XIII by Mushroomhead.
Im 14 and my favorite band is DOKKEN and i got a crush on gl and dd😂❤
1986 no question
Typing this before I finished the video. Im 16 years old so gen Z but I think 1984 had the best releases containing 3 of my Favorite albums Ride The Lightning, Powerslave and 1984. All killer albums.
Check out Out Of Cellar by Ratt
1985 and 1987 cuz dokken-under lock and key and live in philly dokken and i was born in 2010.😂❤
Very cool in-depth video! I'll have to share this one.
I'm on board with the 1984 choice for many reasons stated - including the 2 Manowar, and Jag Panzer.
3 of my top albums of all time were released in 1998 coincidentally but I don't think it's THAT strong overall.
Blind Guardian's Nightfall in Middle-Earth, Virgin Steele's Invictus & Iced Earth's Something Wicked This Way Comes.
man 1998 was close to being on the list, Death's TSOP came out that year as well, System of a Down, Meshuggah....
Great short list of albums for 1998! Aside Nightfall in Middle Earth and Something wicked this way comes I would put Running Wilds The Rivalry in top 3 for that year. Definitely check out if you haven't.
1970, the most important year for metal
Gonna have to go with 1990. Gen Z here
1986.
Its very hard to pick a single year but i woud say any year between 1986-1989. Im gen Z btw.
ACID BATH
2021 for me actually, since this is when all the modern metal bands released the albums written during covid. My album of the year was gloire eternelle by first fragment, think yngwie goes death metal but neoclassical and technical as hell, and then this album they went in a bit of a power metal direction too, really weird but great. I'm born in 2001, listen mainly to modern metal but am a huge fan mainly of megadeth, as I see them as a huge influence to the more riffy technical modern stuff I listen to.
Either it’s 2001 or 2004. For 2001, we got toxicity, iowa, lateralus, got hates us all, such classics. 2004 is Megadeth’s comeback, vol 3, wintersun, and tempo of the damned.
Forgot about wintersun! 2004 is a fantastic year absolutely
No Rammstien???🥺🥺
I'm pretty sure the footage at 11:27 is of early Immortal and not Cradle of Filth.
I think the 3 years of 1987, 1988 and 1989 produced the best metal and hard rock albums. But 1988 probably. Also the rise of the Compact Disc and its price range had a big influence.
True, I forget that the CD came about then
1987 definitely is one of the best years, even if ONLY for Appetite For Destruction. The best Debut Album of All Time and Top 3 Albums in General of Any Genre All Time.
Surgical Steel was the best album of the previous decade, bar none!
Born in 1991 and I think 1986 is the best year.
86
I was born in 2004 (no idea which gen I'm) and I would say '86 was the best year
As a big Thrash fan myself it got all the great Albums
But '89 and '92 were also great years
Thank you for stating Alice in chains is a Metal band.... and not a grunge band. So sick of Alice being called that as much as they are sick of it.... . Both Alice and Soundgarden especially early and Badmotofinger era is metal.
If Bell Witch, Sunn O)), and Nevermore were around in the early 90's.... MTV and the media would have surely mislabeled them as grunge too.. just because they're from Seattle smh. Grunge is not a real subgenre it never was. Unlike the big 4 in Thrash that had a Thrash sound. Every Seattle band had their own unique sound. Especially the big 4 Seattle bands.
Gen Z, 26
1970 - most important for start of metal
1980 - most important for standards
1984 - birth of extreme and beginning of mainstream for 1980 kind of metal
1986 - most important for extreme standards
1990 - hitting relative mainstream (AJFA Metallica being most popular of the pack with Double platinum album)
1990 - and on - underground metal creates it's own space and exists in it, only genre to go top after it is nu metal
Lady Strange is From High n Dry 81, you ain't fooling us.
Anyweare between 1988 and 1991
You gotta pick one, which is it?
I agree
Dead in the middle. 1990
