  • Cry of the Blackbirds is such a good song!!

  • Amon Amarth Kick Ass, Yeah

  • :( no Celtic Frost

  • I was surprised to see Agalloch on there, let alone number 2, still that album is pretty awesome.

  • Blood Mountian???? LOL

    Maiden Should Be 3

    CC Deserve Number 1 IMO, Amon Amarth Should Be Two \m/

  • wheres lamb of god's sacrament?

  • defenetely first place!

  • pretty average list, amon amarth, iron maiden and cannibal corpse are the only awesome bands there...

  • Iron Maiden ,Judas Priest are the GODS of Metal,,

  • hell ya saw both of them in 08

  • IRON MAIDEN NUMBER 1!!!

  • Scar Symmetry's Pitch Black Progress is a fucking great cd. They definately picked up where Soilwork left off.

    Fuck In Flames

  • In Flames is the an incredible band. Some of the best written lyrics ever. Kind of like the Van Gogh of metal in my mind

  • @looli9zo:

    No.

    No.

    And furthermore, no.

    Scar Symmetry has never done anything to bring new material to the table.

  • Forgot WOOOS by AA came out that year, was about to bitch that Enlaved or Gojira should have got it, but that album really was the best thing all year. Gojira should defo be on the list though dude, way better than half the stuff on here.

    I have 15, 12(which should be 3), 12, 11, 7, 4, and 1, must pick up those agalloch and CC albums and I am big fans of both. Still havent gotten Ihsahns album either, its been on my list for years.

    Seriously though Gojira at no.2 it has ot happen.

  • The right title of Amon Amarth's song is "CRY of the Black Birds"... But the video is really good, and I agree at all with the order!!

  • cannibal corpse!!

  • MASTODON, ENSLAVED, IHSAHN, MAIDEN...totally agree w/ all these choices, just 1 thing...where the FUCK is MY DYING BRIDE??? A line of Deathless Kinds absolutely deserves 2 b up there w/ Amon Amarth!. Also, the order aint wat i woulda put...

  • another thing i just noticed: y no Scar Symmetry (Pitch Black Progress)?! that album gave melodeath a whole new face in 06! @ least sum props should go out 2 Sacrament by Lamb of God. and also, if u put the Maiden album up there, u might as well have put Come Clarity by In Flames, cuz both r solid albums by gr8 bands that have been around 4 quite sum time, sumthin that cannot b said 4 Slayer's Christ Illusion (although it aint bad!)

  • Wow too bad only about 3 of these were metal.

  • Best album in my opinion was Kill by Cannibal Corpse.

  • fucking kalmahhh

  • Lacks exodus. Maybe these guys should hear shovel headed kill machine again. Perfect from start to finish from my perspective. NO soft moments.

  • Where was SoaD?

  • What, hypnotize? that was 2005.

  • These guys really picked an incredibly shitty clip to showcase Maiden's A Matter of Life And Death.

    I would have went with anything in The Legacy between 7-8 minutes, or anything right in the middle of Brighter Than a Thousand Suns or Lord of Light.

  • nice to see devin townsend here.

    the new black could've won all the same

  • mastodon at only number 13, that is probably the best album of 2006

  • WHERES AKELDAMA!!!!!!??????

  • this was a great year for metal

  • iron maiden made a great comeback with AMOLAD

  • come on where the fuck is come clarity??

  • cry of the blackbirds is awesome. not too much in 06 other than kill.

  • What was the name of that orchestra song at the very beginning of this video?! I've been looking for that forever!

  • Carmina Burana is the name of that song

  • That was one of the many tracks on Crimson 2 by edge of sanity

  • eluveitie deserved something better, iron maiden should not even be in the top 15, amon amarth #1, even though i dont like thm so much. generally there werent many good albums that year...

  • what the fuck do you mean, Maiden is the number one heavy metal band of all times, anw AMOLD, is a fantastic album

  • 1.Commercial

    2.They are not overrated, they stuck to a simple formula and did what they wanted. If you don't like them BECAUSE their popular, that's your fault

    3.Even your reasons are not reasons to hate them. A reason is if you meet them and they kick you in the balls and steal your wallet.

  • So if a band makes bad music they are commercial, and if a band is commercial then it's crap? What a stupid opinion. Queen is commercial. Do you hate them? If you think that way then you just aren't seeing them right. Yes, they are commercial. Just because people know them doesn't mean you can't like them. You just form your opinion on the whole "it has to be the least popular to be any good" and "If it has more than 2 fans it's a sellout or commercial" seen of trendy metalheads.

  • 1. yes i hate queen

    2. and i didnt say that i hate a band BECAUSE they are commercial i said that it happens that i dont like most commercial bands. i just dont like their music!

  • How could you have not had The Fall of Ideals (All that Remains album) freaking epic as hell. Okay if you have never heard the songs on there go right now and listen to all of them.

  • The intro song was so cool!!! What was it? (Not the god song LOL)

  • wheres Summoning and Oath Bound? I would give all these albums for this one!

  • Meh accidentally clicked the enter button too fast. I also wanted to say that Wolves in the Throne Room, Warning, Negura Bunget, and Katatonia are missing from your list. Ok now I'm done lol.

  • Cannibal Corpse is wayyyy too high.

    Drudkh and Eluveitie definitly are way too low cause they deserve to be in the top 5 imo.

  • AMON AMARTH FOR THE WIN!

  • yea, i like oden

  • My favourite album of 2006 was easily Blood Mountain by Mastodon. True Masterpiece. Just my opinion though and there were alot of other good albume that came out that year, many icluded on this list.

  • My favourites from this video:

    Eluveitie

    Drudkh

    Kalmah

    Zyklon

    Andromeda

    Iron Maiden

  • AGALLOCH IS THA BEST!!!!!! =)))

  • that iron maiden album came out in 2006

  • even townsend was gay

  • the only good ones were iron maiden, cannibal corpse, and amon amarth.

  • With Oden On Our Side was indeed the best release of 2006

  • lol

    I first seen Korpiklaani and Eluveitie on Rage.

    Funny videoclips of people dancing with violins next to guitarists. Good stuff.

    A Matter of Life and should've been 1. Amon Amarth sounded pretty cool though. Heard of them but not really into folk/viking/death/black metal

  • where is sacrament by lamb of god????????

  • why Cannibal corpse? They're such a parody of real death metal, there are far better bANDS

  • How can they be a parody when they were one of the original Florida death metal bands that legitamized the genre?

  • Um? Death was the original death metal band, hence the genre being called DEATH metal. Cannibal Corpse can HARDLY be called one of the innovators or creators of death metal...

  • They were one of the originals in the Florida Death Metal scene. I did not say they were the originators. And anyways Death was not the first death metal bands the term was coined by Hellhammer on there Death Metal ep released in 83.

  • Death was the first real death metal band, every band since has ripped off of them in some sense. To argue the fact that Death was the first death metal band would be ridiculous.

  • you are dumb... the genre wasn't named death metal after the band Death. Also, they were on ONE of the originators of death metal, and they didn't fully tap death metal either, there were other bands that added on to it, which is why not all bands in DM haven't "ripped" them off

  • Death created the death metal sound, hence all death metal bands in some sense have ripped off of Death. They originated the sound of death metal almost exclusively from them. What did other bands add at that time?

  • There were a few other bands from florida that also started the sound. Possessed is one.

  • Drudh, Cannibals, Amon Amarth & Townsend - rule, everything else was gay

  • "with oden on our side" is a true masterpiece

  • YEAHHHHHHHHH AMON AMARTH :D

  • What song is on intro ?

  • YEEEEERHHH Amon Amarth!!!! vikings for ever!!

  • Melodic death metal from toronto

    myspace dot com slash cattlyst

  • not realy bro, just because they are a Legend it doesn't mean they are the best, if you actually get deep into their music an eight years old kid can play it

  • youre so stupid man!! music doesnt need to be difficult to play it just need some feelings but assholes like you makes real heavy metal

    shit11€ asshole you will NEVER be a musician!!

  • If number of the beast would have been released in 2006 it would have been number one. But Iron Maiden made 3, so stop complaining.

  • wtf?in the order of getting worse????

    i thought the first ones were better,though amon amarth is one of my favourites.

  • Eluveitie & Korpiklaani :D:D

  • Judas Priest: Angel of Retrobution

  • mastodon should have been at least in the top 10

  • No clue why amon is up there, they blow so hard.

  • you chose some really awesome bands on there,

    drudkh, kalmah etc

    good to see iron maiden getting some credit for that album... and amon amarth a very worthy number 1, you dont get any more metal than cry of the black birds

  • Yeeh, Iron Maiden :D

  • What's the song at thestart called? (after o'fortuna", while it says the opening title, 5 seconds in) please, it kicks ass.

  • i can understand why slayer's "christ illusion" isn't on here. no offence, i like slayer but their newer albums aren't as good as they used to be.

  • No freakin' way no Frost??!!

  • What's the song at thestart called? (after o'fortuna", while it says the opening title, 5 seconds in) please, it kicks ass.

  • WTF IRON MAIDEN 4 ??

  • Number 1 should be IRON MAIDEN

  • I Agree Amon Amarth is the best !

    But I looked here to get some tip on good metal That i didnt know before :)

  • What's the song at the very start called? (after o'fortuna", while it says the opening title) please, it kicks ass.

  • What's the song at the very start called? (after o'fortuna", while it says the opening title) please, it kicks ass.

  • it is Carl ORFF's 'carmina burana o fortuna' you can find some videos in youtube

  • thanks but i mean the one after o'fortuna, at 5 seconds in.

  • the kill album cover sucks

  • good to see cannibal corpse in there, awesome album

  • I'm from the old times..of 70s and 80s...Good to see Iron Maiden still pulling on..but u just can't compare Heavymetals of those days...They were simply more than fabulous..

  • What's the song at the very start called?

  • what agalloch song is that?

  • what zyklon song is that?

  • do ppl really listen to this?? It is soooo annoying! God...it felt as if I was being punished!

  • tell ur mom she left her pubes in my room last night and gtfo.

  • f*ck ur mom...do not bring my mom into this bast*rd!

  • Do fuckwads realy comment shit like you? Damn... WTF is this a problem of yours? I don't come and comment on your homo Britney Shits and 0.50 Cents saying how moraly and culturaly decayin is to hear bullcrap like that, do I?

  • u r such a low creature... I just did not like that music and i have the right to say my opinion...

    u r such a freak!!

    go get a shrink for this obsession!

  • U suck

  • you too!

  • The choice of the albums really successful

    well done!

  • AGALLOCH AND AMON AMARHT *O*...i love them, they are some of my favorite bands...

    why u didn't put Nekrogoblikon - The Goblin Island...

    it's relaly original, there is no band like them..

    nice vid btw ;D

  • AMON AMARTH WOOT!!!! Cry for the blackbirds is so friggin awesome

  • very shitty

  • Mercenary? Agalloch? I know this is a varied list but I'm thinking about shit that comes a little harder than that. Amon Amarth is good too but who wants to hear about viking shit for more than ten minutes? This is 2007 not the middle ages.

  • yo man who gives a fuck what year it is theyre music is fuckign epic i can listen to it 24/7 just the way the song flows makes them great composers let alone the amzing drumming killer vocals and sick guitar riffs though they should have more solos but when they do have a solo its usually good

  • It's good shit. I just can't take all that viking shit seriously.

  • i kinda understand what ur saying but i dunno you dont have to take viking shit seriously to enjoy their music

  • eluvietie, amon amarth, drudkh, Kalmah... all my fav... but i think kalmah beats them all...:-D

  • i agree that with oden on our side was the best CD from 2006...but Christ Illusion was preety damn good as well

  • with oden on our side is really the best album of 2006

  • where is Come clarity?

  • theres most there ive not even heard of, discovered some new bands at least. Cannibal Corpses' Kill was their worst ever sorry

  • no "sacrament" lamb of god????

    are you crazy??

    your top 3 sucks..

  • dont get me wrong, i love lamb of god but 'sacrament' is their worst album, nothing compared to 'as the palaces burn' randy sounds weak and watered down, chris adlers drumming is nice but too loud and you can't hear johns bass clearly at all.

  • i ahve that dvd "making off sacrament" ..yes1 as palaces kics ass!! but sacrament ist a masterpiece..

    realy ..hey my favorite bansd are maiden etc..

    but l.o.god is something!!

    cris adler is everything that i could want as my style of guitar..

  • why did you forget SLAYERs 2006 album?

  • Wait, how the fuck did Amon Amarth sold out? *facepalm*

  • as much as i agree with you and amon amarth selling out. i will never hate them. i will hate the fucking emos cunts that like them and dont even know the meaning behind the music!

  • Cool idea, but the styles are all mixed and mashed, and you put Cannibal Corpse over Maiden, never in a thousand years. Amon Amarth kinda sold out so I think 1st is a bit too much credit. Good stuff though, metal is not dead, and is the most diverse music and also the most demanding rhythmically, melodically, physically.

  • wait what? how did amon amarth sell out? they sound as good as ever i admit the vocals arent as harsh but that doesnt mean they sold out

  • GOUTS DE MERDE EN METAL !

  • Good compilation but NO SACRAMENT (LOG)??? bad bad..

  • That was a terrible album. Easily their worst.

  • eluveitie is more on top!

  • HEY HEY HEY wats the song that starts at 5 seconds that sounds awesome!

  • Nice to see Drudkh on there

    Mastodon is too low

    Synchestra above Mastodon AND Drudkh? That's ridiculous.

    Iron Maiden was a bit too high, AMoLaD wasn't THAT good. Agalloch deserves their position though. What the fuck? Amon Amarth #1? You don't even have Celtic Frost on here, nor Melechesh. Bad list.

  • mastodon should have been higher up and sacrament should have been at least 15-10

  • i agree with the #1 album choice that is Amon Amarth's With Oden On Our Side ( BTW seen them play live in Toronto Sounds of the underground they played a lot of tunes form this album )

  • Man maybe Amon Amarth like 8 yrs ago, I still think Enthrone Darkness Triumphant was one of the best black albums ever, and Emperors:IX Equilibrium Curse yea all and Blackthorns Diabolical Masquerade. But then again this was shit I was listening to almost 12-14 yrs ago. Before you could buy Inflames or Satyricon at Bestbuy. I had to wait months to get new stuff from overseas.

  • Iron Maiden shoulda been numero uno.

  • AMOLAD is definately the best album here, whats with all thatdeath metal crap saturating the list?

  • I havent heard of about 10 of these bands. this is a very, very, very poor list.

  • You haven't heard of Mastodon? Or Korpiklaani? Ihsahn, the vocalist\guitarist from Emperor? What about Maiden? Cannibal Corpse? Amon Amarth?

    They all seemed a bit folk\power metal, other than Cannibal Corpse, Mastodon, Ihsahn and Iron Maiden.

  • haha. yeah I guess I need to do a recount. I just meant that there have been alot better cds come out last year than Drukh (who is that?) Never heard of zyklon, Korpiklaani. I mean lamb of god had a great cd come out this year where are they on the list

  • This wasn't the 10 best popmetal bands you fuck. Doesn't surprise me at all that you reccomended Lamb of God either.

  • Dear lord is metal dead, and these bands are the maggots writhing through its corpse.

    Think about it, 1996 had Here In After, None So Vile, Purification Through Violence, Stormblast, Through Silver And Blood, Vile, Temple Of Knowledge, Kill Trend Suicide. 2006 has... this crap.

  • No, metal is not dead, this is just a bad list.

  • Well feel free to name a good album made in 06.

  • good choices, asides bal-sagoth or celtic frost couldda filled in the 1st and 3rd instead...

  • haha, i knew it would be amon amarth...

    no dismantling devotion anywhere on the list?

    O_o

  • CC should of been number one..kill is amazing

  • bad taste

  • Wtf? Maiden should have been #1.

  • uhh jfac doom anyone

  • Drudkh should have been #1 with Agalloch in #2 and Amon Amarth #3

  • #7 was ok, #3 was good, #2 sucked ass, and #1 was good.

    Most were pussy bands.

  • i agree with u

  • ...have you listened to the entire Ashes Againsed the Grain album? (#2)

  • that sucked, most of those bands are cheesy pussy rock bands. The Haunted's The Dead Eye is the best metal album of 2006.

  • the haunted isnt metal, its pop. Ya i agree some of this is pretty light as far as metal goes and doesnt personally fit my taste, but it is metal. alot of it is pretty rough too. Amon Amarth I would even classify as deathmetal, Mastodon's newest album is not that heavy but check out some of their earlier stuff, like workhorse (i think there is a live version on here somewere).

  • man whats about slayers christ illusion it#s great but its in noones list

  • im so fuckin glad to see amon amarth at the top of the list, they deserve it, the only problem w/ the album is its recorded and its not live cuz theyre amazing when it comes to live shows, saw em twice and plan to see em again when they come around

  • No Celtic Frost???? No Insomnium?????

  • not sure i can disagree with number 1, that CD is flipping amazing

  • the drudkh album is from 2005

    2006 came songs of grief and solitude

  • ishahns making solo albums now

  • Totally agree with first place =) but where tha fuck is In flames? =/ it was another great album from that band that year called "Come Clearety"

  • Come Clarity was a horrible album. They've been going downhill in a major way ever since Reroute to Remain.

  • Not a bad list. I like most of the albums on it. I'm surprised to see Eluveitie on the list. The Agalloch is great too.

  • AMON! AMARTH!

  • i've got the albuns in place nº1 and 3 and personally disagree with their ranks, and as SonOfGiacomo I think that "OM" should be at least in the first five of this rank, it was the album that had most impact on me till today.

  • u're forgetting tool - 10.000days, in flames - come clarity, evergrey - monday morning apocalypse and DAMN, Blood Mountain should be at the top, even though wooos is awesome

  • The lower positions are all satanic black/doom metal, only enslaved is actually good.

  • at least the #1 and #2 positions were filled appropriately
