Fine I will do a deathcore one l 1 to ...and Life Is Very Long Album by The Acacia Strain

[@4hrsmn645]

Fun fact about Sceptic: the vocalist (on albums 1,3,5) was a successful athlete and holds 200m dash Polish national record

[@jackbrown4697]

Blood Red Throne always deserved way more recognition. Monument of Death is my favorite album from them too, just an absolute crusher from start to finish 🤘

[@loganwhitehorse]

My favorite by far is Opeth. Blackwater Park is one of the greatest metal albums, period. Gorguts and Bolt Thrower are my honorable mentions.

[@coreyrapoza5959]

Murder Squad needs to be ranked right at the top! Rare to hear people speak about this one!

[@JuanetesGorenoiseMex]

Es de mis favoritos de todos los tiempos como un top 6 facil

[@oldschooldeathmetal8417]

Thanks again man, really enjoy these especially since even I can find out about new bands

[@Oldy-Sepulchre]

I love these DM rankings. This might be the one I've discovered the most new bands from. You make some crazy decisions in your rankings at times but for the most part I agree. Great video. I'll definitely be spinning Azarth, Sceptic, Hypnos, Skyfire, Pyaemia and Eternal Tears Of Sorrow

[@personavisceration371]

Rebaelliun, Damnable, Devilyn, Fate of Icarus, Deranged, Cadaver, Dementor, Iniquity, Nephasth, Illdisposed, Pungent Stench, Benediction, Mental Horror, Akercocke, God Dethroned, Altar, Vomitory, Aeternus, Diabolic, Murder Corporation, Marytr AD, Abscess, & Deeds of Flesh all released good to exceptional DM albums in 2001. Do yourselves a favor & check them out! Most of these are total classics that should be on this list. If you want more, go to Discogs & filter by style & year. Also in 2001, one of my favorite metalcore albums by Maharahj.

[@tylermarcum7199]

Great list as always. You should consider adding Scarve to these tier lists. Luminiferous which came out in 2002 is great!

[@ShotandBotched]

From Wisdom to Hate is so good. It has this super sludgy feeling and the lyrical content is very interesting. NOTHING beats that drop in The Quest for Equilibrium. I feel like people might sleep on it because it's not totally off the wall insanity like Obscura and doesn't quite have that bombastic wall of sound like Colored Sands.

Another great Death Metal ranking Video! Thanks for that Mister Trenches! 💀🤘💀🤘

[@mindful2864]

2001 was another great year for death metal. There's some great debuts and some classics in brutal death metal and melodic death metal show up here. Out of the albums on this list I've heard, here would be my ranking: S - Arch Enemy - Wages of Sin, Pyaemia - Cerebral Cereal, Gorguts - From Wisdom to Hate, Psycroptic - The Isle of Disenchantment, Opeth - Blackwater Park A+ - Blood Red Throne - Monument of Death, Aborted - Engineering the Dead, Brodequin - Festival of Death, Disavowed - Perceptive Deception, Gojira - Terra Incognita A - Deeds of Flesh - Mark of the Legion, Amon Amarth - The Crusher, Funebrarum - Beneath the Columns of Abandoned Gods, Sinister - Creative Killings B - Skinless - Foreshadowing Our Demise, Mortician - Domain of Death, Soilwork - A Predator's Portrait, Gorgasm - Bleeding Profusely, Eternal Tears of Sorrow - A Virgin and a Whore, Kataklysm - Epic: The Poetry of War, Bolt Thrower - Honour Valour Pride, Jungle Rot - Dead and Buried C - Azarath - Demon Seed D - Six Feet Under - True Carnage, Deicide - In Torment in Hell

[@Eric13345]

I don't know how I came upon Skyfire like 15 years ago, I think you'll enjoy their susequent releases as well, very proggy and underrated for sure.

[@Nope-gu3ph]

Skyfire have a 4 song album (or EP? Not really sure what it's supposed to be) called Liberation in Death and I really like it Having to compete with Blackwater Park is just unfair for all other albums

[@doomusrlc]

Hey man, if you get a chance, definitely check out The Project Hate MCMXCIX. I was hoping you'd hit on their 'When We Are Done Your Flesh Will be Ours' on this video, but oh well haha. Definitely what I feel is a unique take on death metal mixed with industrial, but (usually) not repetitive despite the long songs. Maybe you'll hit on 'Hate Dominate Congregate Eliminate' for 2003! Love these videos man, appreciate the new recommendations!

[@doomusrlc]

Also, if you do end up covering them for 2003 and 2005, there were technically 2 albums released in 2005, but 'Armageddon March Eternal' is the actual 2005 album. 'Deadmarch' is technically from 1998, but went unreleased until 2005 (a lot of the album got picked apart and used on their first few albums. The band actually released MP3s of it a couple years earlier but then it got an official CD release in 2005)

[@simazza6206]

Directed here straight after the 2000 Nu Metal vid. Wages of Sin & Blackwater Park are still regular listens for me. 🤘

[@kylemcgill2966]

I randomly picked up the Murder Squad record off of curiosity and loved it 🔥

[@jefftrvecvlt1819]

You can hear the huge Morbid Angel influence in that Gojira album.

[@televiper11]

A lot of stuff that skirts just outside of death metal, imo. But that’s okay, always interesting to revisit stuff I don’t like to see if my tastes have changed. They haven’t.

[@MRSludgedude]

What year y'all think death metal went down hill in the 2000s?

[@erikdead8290]

Great list!!! I need to listen to some of the records here, but also, trying not to be a douchebag, I highly recommend you a couple 2001 jewels were left aside: - Anata - Dreams of Death and Dismay. An absolute tech death killer, a rotten party of nasty riffs. - Akercocke - The Goat of Mendes. A vicious death/black riffs tempest to ooze some 5474.nic fellings and twisted feti.5hes.

[@MetalTrenches]

I listened to that Akercocke and considered adding it but it’s almost just its own thing

[@erikdead8290]

@@MetalTrenches it is indeed! They somehow balance the amount of br00tal death and cold, twisted black, with some prog and gothic flourishes so well, it's hard to categorize, yet, they only get better after that.

[@scosstard3542]

The Revenge Ride by Hypnos is definitely an underrated album. It is not very original, but it is executed perfectly with great riffing and ideas, truly a great album. I own this Sinister album, and I tried, really tried to like it, but did not manage at the time, I was just impressed that it was a woman grunting that low even though the vocals sound a bit "suffocated". Maybe I should give it another spin, just out of curoisity. Regarding Wages of Sin it is an absolute Melo-death masterpiece, but it has been released in 2002 if i am not mistaken.

[@erikdead8290]

I just confimed it was, indeed, released in 2001 man, in specific, on April 25th, 2001.

[@scosstard3542]

@@erikdead8290 "Wages of Sin was released on 25 April 2001 in Japan, but the European and American releases were delayed until 18 March 2002." Indeed you are right. I did not know it had been released a year before in Japan, I just remember the European release

[@erikdead8290]

@@scosstard3542 I see, still, I find very curious that the record was released in Japan before it was released in the local scene. Tnx for the confirmation. Cheers! 🤘🏻

What were you doing in 2001?

High school…

[@xanderharris562]

Jerkin it

[@rickdeckard2240]

I think Terra Incognita is, as a first album, more or less self produced, nothing less than perfection AND new (and a new way of being "death metal"). Besides Blackwater Park (from a much more experienced band then), it's just way above all the other music mentioned here, to be honest.

[@vadiknetsko8504]

And of course "Brazilian Deicide" Krisiun had released their album "Ageless Venomous" in 2001

[@darrenbooker8144]

Love BWP, Best album of all time, but im so devastated you didnt include DARKANE... maybe 2002 list😫😫

perceptive deception at meh?! mostly a decent list in my opinion but perceptive deception is one of the best bdm albums of all time! definitely a cult classic, it’s cool if you don’t like it, i just had to express my shock lmao

[@deathmetal0073]

Anytime I’ve listened to Aborted I’ve thought it was incredibly boring. Should probably give it a better chance though.

[@MetalTrenches]

[@fearthepointman3134]

[@NocturnalSilence45]

As far as the Opeth Blackwater Park album goes, i own it, like it. But i just don't see what all the fuss most everyone makes about it is. I think My Arms Your Hearse is better.

[@deavas86]

Wow that Brodequin album didn't land in the meh tier? Must've been a Six Feet Under album released this year Haha yeah

[@vitorfurioso9202]

Centurian is missing

[@samuelmagnum6047]

I just saw Brodequin at MDF. Heavy and boring. Very disappointing. SKINLESS on the other hand, AMAZING live at MDF

[@michaelsantangelo6192]

There needs to be a new name for melodic death metal. Melodic death metal isn't death metal. It doesn't have death metal riffs. It doesn't have death metal vocals. It doesn't have death metal drumming. Melodic death metal is heavy metal riffs, mixed with black metalish vocals, and thrash metal drumming.

[@The_JustJoshing]

Fully agree. Most of it just sounds like metalcore without the clean vocals or breakdowns. Some of them even have clean vocals. I would say The Black Dahlia Murder is the only melodic death metal band that actually sounds like _melodic_ death metal.

[@michaelsantangelo6192]

@@The_JustJoshing there are exceptions, but for the most part, melodic death metal has no brutality in the riffs, no deep guttural vocals, and no blast beats.

[@scosstard3542]

So Obituary is not Death Metal either... according to your definition

[@michaelsantangelo6192]

Obituary has both death metal vocals and death metal riffs. They're part of a minority of death metal bands that don't have blast beats.

[@anony-moon]

​@@michaelsantangelo6192 melodeath isn't death metal because there's no blast beats but Obituary is death metal? If you're gonna make a bold statement at least be consistent smh

The ones on this list are weak, but he didn't cover the best ones. Completely Devoted by Damnable for example is far from weak.
