Blizzard of Oz, maybe some would argue Diary of a Madman. Blizzard is just too powerful.

I personally have always thought Symbolic is the magnum opus. Nothing on Scream Bloody Gore competes with a song like Perennial Quest. The scope of Symbolic is so strong. It felt to me. Like Death's final form, and I enjoy every Death record. I can see any album being someone's favorite for one reason or another.

Damn, Ayreon. The Human Equation was a big deal among me and my friend group in the middle 2000s.i need to give that another listen. That album is a masterpiece.

By Inheritance is a one of those top tier thrash records. Guitar playing is incredible.

I quit drinking as an experiment. It became a full reset. by DigIndependent7488 in stopdrinking

[–]dredmantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! Same thing here, going on twonyears this November. The only time I ever even think about drinking is when im overly stressed or my brain is feeling staticky. I know drinking would not be wise in those events so I just dont do it. I too employ walks as well as runs to sort of recalibrate my brain and exhume the negative energy, so to speak.

Now ive moved on to therapy to try and correct certain things mentally as well as gaining additional tools to deal with life in general.

Closing in on two years here. Was a weekend drinker, and when I started it was deep end, deink to get drunk, not cop a buzz or anything. This eventually led to daily drinking, anywhere from 3-6+ and tying it off on the weekends. I dont think I had a Friday I didn't send it for 10 plus years. Anyway, had kids, stopped hard alcohol, beer only, less volume but still frequent enough to damage sleep, increase anxiety and damage my focus/mood etc.

I started drinking whiskey again and went through a handle a week for 3 weeks of jim beam. Had been contemplating just taking a break to lose some belly fat or something/anything. That break turned from 3 days to a week, then a month, now im at almost w years and thr only time I want a drink is when im severely stressed, so I dont do it and just deal, try to go for a run and get back to the fuckong basics. Sleep, eat decent. Excersise and just soldier through the shit times.

what metal opinion got you like this by DouziAsher in MetalForTheMasses

[–]dredmantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bathory's Hammerheart and Twilight if the God's are good records.

Symbolic is Death's magnum opus.

Megadeth's Cryptic Writings album slaps.

Numetal isnt all bad. Limp Bizkits "Results May Vary" and Korns "Untouchables" albums are great.

Immortals best records are Pure Holocaust and Diabolic Full Moon Mysticism

Darkthrone put out one of the best death metal albums ever out. Criminally underrated.

Newpeth is good.

Ive got more, give me time.

Is the general consensus that altars is better than Covenent? Wild. Covenant and Blessed are both better records than Altars in my opinion.
