I'd argue Gorguts Obscura is also on par with TSOP, in that it has and still is incredibly unique and influential, and sounded like nothing before. (Also the fact that most of its material was written by 93, 94?) - its just a very challenging, surreal listen, so its harder to get into TSOP which is comparatively accessible.. one of death's most melodic works

MegaCrasherMusic Other than those 1 or two songs I never heard that much NuMetal influence on that album. Slayer was always a very rhythmic, groove oriented band when they slowed down. That was one of the things that I really liked about them. It is not as though Tom Araya was actually rapping the lyrics. Point is still one of my favorite songs they ever recorded. Screaming From the Sky has such a heavy groove to it, and Scrum absolutely rips. I am not saying it was their best album by any means, but compared to everything else coming out in 1998, I did not think it was half bad. It got quite a bit of rotation in my cassette player back then.

I was 18 in 1998. I didn't have access to most of this stuff at the time. I relied on crappy corporate FM radio, because I couldn't afford pricey import CD's from Europe, and didn't have any underground metal magazines to tell me which ones to buy if I did have the money. But when I went away to college, the local AOR station did a metal show at 1:00 A.M. on Saturday night (although they called it "heavy rock" to avoid actually using the word metal). I remember the guy played a lot of Fear Factory, Rob Zombie, Soulfly, and weirdly, this was where I first heard both Godsmack and Kid Rock. He did play something off Sound of Perseverance, though. However, if I'm to be honest and resist the temptation to revise my own history (I KNOW most of you guys weren't listening to Bathory in '84), my main jam in '98 was most definitely Monster Magnet's Powertrip album, which I still love to this day.

No Bolt Thrower? No Meshuggah? No Nile? No Fear Factory? No Amon Amarth? Come on. This bands released albums 1998 too and they are awesome and worth to put in this list. Maybe next time make a choose for "Top 10 Album of..." :D

I would say that Destiny by Stratovarius came out in 98 also and is easily a better power metal album than NFIME. All other picks are fine though.

@shawnsmith85586 жыл бұрын
these are awesome choices! So happy Gorguts got in the top 5! But Death, Opeth and Blind Guardian are some of my favourite bands, too! Great that Iced Earth made the top 10, first band that got me into metal! Lastly Sarah you have some mad good taste btw! I'm surprised Incantation didn't get more votes, because they are classic, and The Chasm is one of my favourite death metal bands~ Its interesting to note that Don Corchado of the Chasm, also did vocals and bass on Incantation's diabolical conquest (mentioned here), he's awesome! Cheers!!

I'm just glad people are showing some love for bands like System of a Down. Never expected a channel whos viewers I saw as mainly elitist scumbags to put a nu metal styled band on a top 5 list. I have a little more faith in the metal community.

The reason you see so many elitists is due to them being some of the more vocal people in the metal community.

Nice to see Blind Guardian on here. My only problem with Death's Sound of Perseverance is that I didn't like the direction Chuck was taking his voice.

Honestly, it’s one of the Death albums I spin the least. I just don’t hear in it what others hear. They hear a masterpiece, I hear a talented songwriter who feels constrained and bored by extreme metal and would rather go in another direction. The

"The Sound of Perseverence" hands down the best of a not very good year... but it did give us (IMO) the best Death Album. Love the more black metal rasp Chuck had used on this nad the preceding album... but the drums, bass, riffs, time changes.. even without Gene Hoglan or Steve DiGiorgio, I think it actually has the best drums an bass of any Death album. Other standouts from a year of slim pickings? (I really was depressed musically for most of 1993-2003, TBH. The Iron Maiden "Blaze Era" and Metallica's Alt Rock sure didn't help) -Apocalyptica - Inquisition Symphony -Bruce Dickinson - The Chemical Wedding -Iced Earth - Something Wicked This Way Comes -Korn - Follow the Leader (Not a huge fan of Korn overall, but will give credit where due.. Metal Elitism has always been stupid) -Meshuggah - Chaosphere -Nile - Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka -Opeth - My Arms, Your Hearse -Tristania - Widow's Weeds kept it from being a complete disaster, and there were other with promise, like "Oceanborn" by Nightwish (who would need another album to really come into their sound), but on the whole... talk about a barren wasteland, especially in the USA... and this was still largely pre internet, so people can look back on it now and say.. but there was this album, or that.... but for those of us who lived through it? Over half the albums we listen to today, we had no idea were out for another 4-5 years, often. Hell things were bad enough that I remember around 2000 hearing Kittie at Ozzfest (mighta been 01, don't remember for sure) , thinking finally a band with some balls and anger... even if it was teenagers spitting out Rap Metal. But that is just how limp the overall US Metal scene had gotten, with crap like Creed and Limp Bizkit being pushed to the forefront. Always wanted to like Gorguts... their music was pretty awesome... but their vocals were ass terrible even for the Death Metal Style. System of the Down? Ugh.. A sure sign of everything that was wrong with "Metal" in this era. Am glad Opeth got the love, even if they became a little too much the darling for the community in the mid 2000s. Never really got bit by the Blind Guardian bug, but can at least see why they made the cut. And yes, Death absolutely did put out far and away the best album of 1998. Death and Bolt Thrower, among the only bands I can think of that had the fortune of their final album being their best. But damn I wish we still had Chuck with us.
