Immortal - ATHOW is definitely number 1, but each of the Abbath led releases are good and I also still enjoy Pure Holocaust and Battles in the North.
I think that Northern Chaos Gods returns Immortal to their early sound. Thoughts?
I'm not a huge thrash fan, but I can always listen to Slayer.
I am a huge Maiden fan and like listening to their imitators as well, especially Helloween, Liege Lord, Attacker.
This thread has led me to a bunch of new (to me) music. Keep them coming. I have Harakiri for the Sky on repeat.
Northern Chaos Gods is definitely like their earlier sound and I enjoyed the album...but to me Immortal isn't the same without Abbath on vocals
Yeah, Harakiri for the sky was new to me as well...Nice recommendation!
Here are a few bands that aren't largely known I like...
Dark Forest (Canadian Black metal!)
