Jesus christ how is it not obvious to you that guy is a worthless troll? Why are you responding to him?

Trolling aside though, Whispered are actually some legit good melodeath and their Shogunate Macabre is one of my top albums of 2014. And I say this as someone who is usually highly allergic to Japanese themes.

The more I think about it, Black Anvil's "Hail Death" might be my favorite album from this year. I gather that it alienated a lot of their fans, but that's what happens when you change things up. Lots of tempo and mood changes along with some post-hardcore and more traditional metal elements.

I've been looking into Asian-themed metal a lot recently, so I hope you don't mind suggestions! Check out Onmyouza. Their blend of Japanese folk and heavy/power metal is really fantastic (iirc you don't like the Japanese power metal vocal style but give Garyou Tensei or Maou Taiten a shot anyways.

Misogi are cool too - sort of technical/proggy black metal with flute and Japanese chanting.

Anyone who's into Dan Swano, Nightingale just released Retribution a few days ago. I would say it's better than White Darkness, probably on par with Invisible and Nightfall Overture. It's still solidly in the Prog Rock dimension so don't expect even a hint of heavy metal like there was on Witherscape.

You got into them before I did, then. I first got interested with Black Seeds of Vengeance, but didn't really go all-in until In Their Darkened Shrines. Of course, then Annihilation came out and it was just a storm of :gizz:

I don't see why Manowar are some kind of comedy pick for best metal band...especially when junk like Pantera, Testament, Anthrax (lol), Meshuggah and Lamb of God sit in the list without irony. Ok they only have 4 stone cold classic albums, but so do Metallica. Even At The Gates and Celtic Frost only have 2 or 3.

Celtic Frost was really influential but I think you'd struggle to put together 2 solid albums if you used their entire catalog. Maybe I just really dislike CF but I find most of their songs to be really just average to OK.

To Mega Therion and Morbid Tales/Emperor's Return both own. I'm not as into Monotheist as some people but I wouldn't say it's bad either.

I'm all for hating on Pantera but I always thought that comparison was a stretch. Slaughter in the Vatican is much faster than any of Pantera's stuff and it came out months after Cowboys From Hell (and I realize they had demos a few years before). I know they were friends but if anything Exhorder ripped Pantera's sound for The Law.
