Even people who don’t like this channel have to appreciate the effort. 40 bands is crazy work

[@MetalTrenches]

Just wait... there are even longer ones to come.

[@jonathananderson5135]

We appreciate the, uh, extensive amount of effort you’re putting into this series.

[@daroblackheart383]

Another great year for death metal classics. My top 3: 1. Deicide - Legion 2. Incantation - Onward To Golgotha 3. Sinister - Cross The Styx

[@beastofman77]

This is like a trip down memory lane for me. I have most of these albums in my collection. Cool vid.

[@doomusrlc]

I did NOT expect a Pan-Thy-Monium call out. Awesome haha

[@MetalTrenches]

They'll show up more than once

[@SuperStrik9]

Greatly appreciate your effort. 1992 was a tremendous year for Death Metal with so many great releases. So many albums to talk about but one album that is perfection level for me is Gorefest - False. I absolutely love that album. On a side note, Gorefest performance at Dynamo the following year in 1993 is awesome. It's on KZbin and is definitely worth watching.

[@MetalTrenches]

[@SuperStrik9]

@@MetalTrenches Though I rank it perfection I love that you put it at the top of fantastic.🤘I just think it's an album that deserves more attention.

[@PolkCountyWIProgressive]

Glad you again included Mortification - you’re practically the only one that includes them on ranking lists. I listened to Scrolls thousands of times over back in the day.

[@MetalTrenches]

Shame they really start to go downhill the deeper you get into the decade unfortunately. But yeah, the early stuff is noteworthy.

[@PolkCountyWIProgressive]

@@MetalTrenchesTheir third is OK, but they fell apart when Jayson Sherlock left. Leukemia really ended Steve Rowe's musically prowess. Nice personalities, but they were done done by 1996.

[@christianmetalchannel5231]

Scrolls of the Megiloth is probably the best Christian death metal record.

[@Canteen926]

I love this album! Such unique guitar and bass tones and great riffs. I wish they had continued in this direction.

[@boomertuxx]

I'm all fairness Mortification had changed their style before Steve got sick. Also they veer back to death metal in the 2000s. Mortification and Living Sacrifice both did the thrash to death thing at the start. Mort mixed it up after that and LS went metal core. Crimson Thorn on the other hand.... war metal baybee!

[@ocbreactions7843]

Awesome! Don't care where you decided to put things. Your list, should go where you want them. I'm just now on a nostalgia kick. I forgot about 2/3 of these albums and am rediscovering I own a lot of them, lol.

[@mightyravendark932]

So many great deathmetal releases this year. I was 17 years old and played in my first band:) Wonderful to see all the great Swedish releases. Pan-Thy-Monium is one of my favorites. So weird and soo amazing:)

[@toksic424]

I'm loving this series!

[@joerazz91]

I can’t believe how much death metal was out already in 1992. So many bands I never heard of but now have to check out. With all these releases in 1992, somehow death and morbid angel took the year off lol

[@epicbrucey]

I'm glad you put lots of effort into these, gives me so many albums to check out

[@MetalTrenches]

And SO many more to come

[@garrysanderson9957]

Looking forward to checking out the ones I’m not as familiar with here. Loving this particular series! Keep it up. Can’t wait for 93.

[@mikepenny8940]

Thanks for reintroducing me to Sinister. Im going to take a deep dive

[@zschokks5583]

I´m french and I´m kind of disappointed that the 2 major death metal albums from France did not get a shout out in the previous video and in this one: - 1991 - Massacra - Enjoy the violence - 1992 - Mercyless - Abject offerings These 2 albums are imo superior to 90% of the albums in those tier lists and I wish they got their due recognition. Cheers, I agree with your perfection tier, excpet for Tomd of the Mutilated. Fornever laid to rest, Imperial doom and An evil shade of grey are top 50 of all time!

[@zschokks5583]

​@@erorufurakku6378The Cube c'est très bon mais c'est 1993 😉

[@blitzkrieghopAZ]

Abject Offerings is wicked sick.

[@1972Diogenes]

Really appreciate the efforts you put into this list. Even forgot about Pan Thy Monium myself. My favourite bangers from back then were Monstrosity, Malevolent, Gorefest and Asphyx. Great times. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Will now probably revisit some of these albums again.

[@xVooDooPiMPx]

Appreciate all the work. Really enjoying this series and finding some new death metal!

[@doomusrlc]

Thanks for pointing out Lemming Project. I randomly came across that album about 16 years ago now, and i absolutely loved it. The debut is no slouch either.

[@MetalTrenches]

[@victormagana4904]

Last One on Earth is perfection. Down to the last minute detail.

[@Flugmorph]

[@jordanstuck747]

Bless your effort sir. PLEASE keep this going lol

[@MetalTrenches]

Well I'm already working on 98, so we will make it through the decade.

[@darksideinferno3454]

Man this is another Fantastic ranking Video!! Thanks for that!! To me Sinister, Incantation and Asphyx also go to Perfection Tier!! 💀🤘💀🤘💀🤘

[@Cwin-ny6bp]

I feel like Demigod, despite being from Finland, actually sounded more like what was going on in New York with Immolation, Suffocation, and Incantation than they did like their Swedish neighbors.

[@FuriousMetal1968]

Honestly, great work on this one man 😎 Many bands I haven't heard of so it was cool 🤘🍻

[@tweezersalad4075]

Utopia Banished the first death metal album I ever heard. Friend’s dad had the CD and the cover art legit scared me lol. “The World Keeps Turning” riff lives rent free in my head forever

[@SuperStrik9]

Great place to start. Love Utopia Banished. Along with Harmony Corruption my top 2 Napalm Death albums. My first death metal album was Death - Spiritual Healing.🤘

[@TheSevgrinder]

Corpsegrinder is also singing on the Millenium album by Monstrosity

[@TheWelhaven]

I said 1991 was THE year for me, but 1992 are insane too. I remember for my 18th birthday I got three cds from my mother; Legion, Blessed are the Sick and Necroticism - Descanting the Insalubrious 😮 They are still played on a regular basis, 32 years later…

[@crimsonier9279]

I'm glad you mentioned edge of sanity, they are my all time favorite band.

[@coreymitsunaga]

Amazing video. It's missing one vital album that should have been on the list, Brutal Truth - Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Responses, which is god tier

[@MetalTrenches]

Brutal Truth is more grindcore than anything imo

[@coreymitsunaga]

@@MetalTrenches True, although first album is more death/grind. Starting with Need to Control, the grind elements started taking over. Napalm Death is on the list as well.

[@psychicvacuum555]

Awesome video as always! Here are some of my favourites that you didn't mention: Mercyless - Abject Offerings Incubator - McGillroy the Housefly Torchure - Beyond the Veil Transgressor - Ether for Scapegoat Eternal Dirge - Morbus Ascendit Chemical Breath - Fatal Exposure Thanatos - Realm of Ecstasy Merciless - The Treasures Within So many great albums from this year (as with most years), impossible to cover everything but you covered a lot of the best ones. Really enjoying this series. Cheers 🤘🤘

[@dmphax]

Such a phenomenal year for metal!

[@flyingdutchman8093]

As a Wisconsin native, I saw a lot of metal bands at the Rave.

[@SuperStrik9]

Wisconsin has some great bands. Morbid Saint and Jungle Rot are 2 that come to mind immediately.

[@samuelblinne6040]

Nice list

[@Brando-Lee3725]

After cassette tapes slowly died , several of my first CDs I bought in one swoop when I got a CD player (crazy huh?) were Obituary -The End Complete , Napalm Death -Utopia Banished , Megadeth -Rust in Peace and Rollins Band - End of Silence . One of these aint like the other lol ! But they all rocked ! I love me some Obituary .

[@travometric]

This is my year of birth. Thanks!!

[@Grommtmetal]

Love this 🤘 keep it going

[@FlippMasters]

Cant wait for 1993 so many amazing death metal albums

[@freddiemossberg7204]

1. Deicide 2. Atrocity 3. Gorefest 4. Bolt Thrower 5. Therion Just my personal top 5 🤘

[@EmberMcLain87]

loved the bolt thrower cut in. got me chuckling. also hearing you not name the songs for the C C record brought back the memory of the late great Trevor of the black dahlia murder on the C C centuries of torment dvd. he was holding tomb of the mutilated reading the song i think we all know you cant say on here, and saying he put it back on the shelf because he didnt think his younger self could handle it.

[@LowNoiseJasonSkilz]

What a year of releases! Some interesting deep picks. A bit shocked by your placement of Baphomet, Obituary and Autopsy all of which get regular rotation here.

[@BruhMomentPatrick]

My personal top 3: 1: Tomb Of The Mutilated 2: Legion 3: Imperial Doom

[@reubenkuriger6004]

Seriously dude! Very hard to rank these! To me? Every single one of these releases is superlative! Another outstanding year for death metal!

[@braggingrightsmusic]

The bolt thrower edit faces 😂

[@rickdeckard2240]

Agressor - Towards Beyond is a great melodic/tech death-thrash album from that year too. No Return - Contamination Rises is also worth mentioning. My fav is easilly Rotten Perish, also really enjoy The 4th Crusade and Thresholds. End Complete title song is amazing, and Legion and Tomb of the Mutilated are quite fun too. Shadows in the Deep in a step down comparing to the first album but Unleashed always deliver great riffs.

[@happycat4838]

I actually like the Autopsy album, but I can see why it wouldn't be a hit with most. My favorite metal release of 1992 is Nuclear Death - All Creatures Great and Eaten. It is weird, experimental death/grind with gratuitous amounts of flanger, a guitar tone I can only describe as "ugly" (but in a good way), breakdowns that sound like they are slowly going out of tune, and some of the most disturbing lyrics in the genre. It's about as close to outsider art death metal probably gets; not for everyone, but I think people who it hits with, it really hits with.

[@mindful2864]

1992 was another amazing year for death metal. Some of the most well known bands released some of their best material while lots of new and upcoming bands in death metal debuted that year. I really want to check out that Cenotaph album since it has members from the Chasm who rule and are underrated. Of all these albums I’ve heard, this would be my ranking: S - Deicide - Legion, Asphyx - Last One on Earth, Malevolent Creation - Retribution, Demigod - Slumber of Sullen Eyes, Napalm Death - Utopia Banished, Bolt Thrower - The IVth Crusade, Cannibal Corpse - Tomb of the Mutilated A - Mortification - Scrolls of the Megilloth, Amorphis - The Karelian Isthmus, Incantation - Onward to Golgotha, Edge of Sanity - Unorthodox, Obituary - The End Complete, Vital Remains - Let Us Pray, Baphomet - The Dead Shall Inherit, Nocturnus - Thresholds, Order from Chaos - Stillbirth Machine, Vader - The Ultimate Incantation, Centinex - Subconscious Lobotomy, Unleashed - Shadows in the Deep, Monstrosity - Imperial Doom B - Autopsy - Acts of the Unspeakable, Hypocrisy - Penetralia, At the Gates - The Red in the Sky Is Ours, Sinister - Cross the Styx, God Dethroned - The Christhunt, Therion - Beyond Sanctorium

[@cbn6635]

I agree with most of your ranking, but man, I LOVE that Hypocrisy 'Penetralia' debut, and unlike you, I definitely prefer their first two albums over their melo-death stuff, AND Masse Broberg sound EVIL on the vocals! 🤘🤘

[@cbn6635]

... 'To Escape is to Die' is probably the most catchy track of the whole goddamn year... 😎

[@Bequeefed]

Another one for the playlist 👌 can you do a deep dive for Nevermore in the future 🙏

[@MetalTrenches]

Perhaps

[@adamlawson5021]

Didn't Unleashed do Who Let the Dogs Out? 😂 Great video, as always! 👏

[@Lastiri2004]

I feel i love most of those albums. Even the most obscure ones like Babylon Sad and Lemming project. I recommend for 93 Above the light by Sadist. Great italian prog death that had that big Death and Atheist feeling before that was cool. That's one of my favorite 90s european death metal bands i never heard people talking about.

[@bl4ckLlama]

Death's Human hit late in 1991 and was my intro to death metal (at 13 years old) then Deicide's Legion and CC's TOTM dropped in 1992. Was a fantastic time to be a metal head.

[@tomasjonsson7141]

Some realy banger DM albums a realy great year! =)

[@rememberbeginning]

1- Sinister - cross the Styx 2- Asphyx - last one on earth 3- Bolt thrower - 4th crusade 4- Gorefest - false 5- Monstrosity - Imperial doom Would be my favorites from that year. Dig the Cannibal corpse, Deicide, Vader, Malevolent, At the gates, napalm death sounds from that year. Love me some Obituary and Amorphis though too. Hypocrisy - Penetralia is probably the one i heard the most however as i did wear out that cassette. Enjoy...

[@James-l5s7k]

I love how specific this is. 1992!

[@orenom6704]

Autopsy is disgusting, thats the point of the album and it delivers. Im shocked with the low rate of Morpheus Descends this album is awesome. Anyway i like your content, keep it up

[@salvatorelanni5126]

Lemming Project was the only band I was unaware of.

[@blackwaterrust476]

That Corpsegrinder era of Monstrosity is really great. You could already really see why Cannibal Corpse wanted him so badly after the Bleeding.

[@cajunboi4888]

When will we get a tier list for Deicide?

[@MetalTrenches]

[@jasonboardman2796]

Speaking of deicide they got a new album on April 26th this year I wonder if might age well or not.

[@samuelblinne6040]

[@christianmetalchannel5231]

Awesome list man! Not sure if you will add another band to these lists but I’d appreciate seeing Crimson Thorn covered. They were a Christian dm band that released some great stuff in the mid to late 90’s (Specifically Unearthed in 1995 and Dissection in 1997). Just a recommendation though since I listen to a lot of Christian metal.

[@boomertuxx]

Yep Crimson Thorn are epic.

[@Oldy-Sepulchre]

I agree with a lot of this, but that Asphyx album deserves perfection tier. You did a few of those one and done bands dirty though lol

Don't like to be that Guy but you forgot the third release of TIAMAT but i still appreciate you included them in the last video. Great video

Please continue this series. I'm a latebloomer when it comes to death metal, I used to really dislike the genre (thought it was all oink-oink generic/emotionless stuff), but OSDM is the sh1t.

[@srv525]

In '92 I was all about Deicide and even liked the Obituary and Unleashed albums. It was a year or two later I got into the zines, and that opened me to Pan.Thy.Monium. That album is easily my favorite from this entire list. I never liked the production on that Monstrosity album. It was too clean. I got the chance to see them live in '91 and their demo is still one of my favorites of all time. The production was grimey and just fit them perfectly. Never really got it "right" to these ears.

[@boomertuxx]

1992 was an amazing year for Death Metal... and the year i got into it. Legion, Scrolls, Tomb, Blessed are all bangers. That said whilst my favourite Mortification and Deicide albums dropped in 92 my favourite Morbid Angel albums were in the Steve Tucker era and Cannibal Corpses newer stuff is better IMO. Hammer Smashed Face is a classic though.
