re: The 25 Best Metal Bands of All-Time

Meshuggah belongs nowhere near this list

No way, man. That is one of the most influential and progressive bands of the entire genre. They launched a brand new subgenre and somehow managed to make metal even heavier.

Thomas Haake is one of the most well-respected drummers and songwriters today and their name is revered among the heavy metal community.

Carcass and Death in the top 10 is absolutely correct. Death's discography is great and Carcass released classics in 3 different genres.

100% agree with the remark about Death. I'll admit that I often forget how significant Carcass' work was because they stopped releasing music not long after they emerged as a worthwhile band.

Opeth should be ahead of Cannibal Corpse.

For sure.

If Napalm Death is on that list for starting Grind then Venom should be on there for starting black metal. Napalm isn't even that good.

I can definitely agree with this sentiment. I was surprised to not see Venom on the list despite my abhorrence for them as a band.

quote:

---

I understand Cannibal being there because of popularity, but bands like Deicide and Obituary blow Cannibal out of the water.

I always thought Deicide was overrated. Then again, I dislike blasphemous death metal. I agree that Obituary should be in contention, as should Atheist and other technical death metal groups.
