The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind is among my favorite metal albums, too.

[@cubeyblok793]

was about to say the same thing! well spotted

[@Solitudinis]

Loveled a lot the interview! I'm from Madeira's Island (Portugal) and found My Dying Bride in 1993 through Headbangers Bal,l, first song being "the snow on my hand" and was mesmerized by them. It was the first time I discovered Doom-Metal.. Can't wait to have the new album! Keep the spirit inflamed!

I remember in the early 80s, the regular radio stations wouldn't touch the heavier stuff, we relied on the covers of albums. The darker the art was,the gnarlier the band would be🤘🤘🤘! Thanks for the video n cheers from California....Up the Hammers

[@Niotis105]

Celtic Frost's Into the Pandemonium and To Megatherion also top classic covers

[@pathaden7208]

Dont Break The Oath and Bonded By Blood would be my top iconic 2...Thanks for some background on all of the 10 you talked about!

[@Savatanica]

Dark Throne's Soulside Journey has a very underrated cover.My all time favorite.Also Edge of Thorns by Savatage is as metal as it gets

[@balazskalman-og6du]

IT should have Been a top 50

[@ok-tchau]

Still remember the first time I've seen Cannibal Corpse's Butchered at Birth. Anyway, Nailbomb "Point Blank" would be my first pick and it's not even on the list.
