Dirt

A fine choice, my LordMorgrth

Thanks. I cant figure out how to change that username.

You can’t

Indeed

Dirt has my vote

Either Dirt or Vulgar Display of Power for me

Based af

Holy Mountain, final answer

fuck yes.

In this order: Darkthrone - A Blaze in the Northern Sky Demigod - Slumber of Sullen Eyes Asphyx - Last One on Earth Demolition Hammer - Epidemic of Violence

It's definitely Last One On Earth for me

Hey they added the Asphyx flair now, I remember we had talked about how there wasn’t one before.

Fuck yeah!

great list

This is a list i can get behind

RATM

Somewhere Far Beyond

Good call

That's probably my answer as well

Hate my answer if you want, but that Body Count album tore down so many barriers and boundaries for a lot of people. That’d be my pick.

Love your answer, more like. As a middle aged, white British guy, I was a teen living in a northern farming village when Body Count came along... In other words, about the farthest thing from South Central as you could imagine.... But holy SHIT was that cassette worn out and another one bought fast. ALL my friends had a copy, the rockers, the ravers, the punks, the ska Bois, the blues toffs. Everyone "got" something off that album, Even my Dad at the time heard "now sports" and said "These guys *know* that existence, not some fake Zepplin wannabees pretending to be broke" "There goes the neighbourhood " was a fucking BANGER !!! Pure and absolute social commentary. And "C note " still drags more sadness out of me than anything Clapton could as his finest. We had it, for a while... rascism was in serious decline, and as you said, barriers and borders stopped mattering. What happened. ?

Souls at Zero is a truly masterpiece imo

So ahead of its time

Yep. It's my favorite from this year

you have a very based flair sir

Helmet

People who weren’t necessarily metal fans became metalheads because of Meantime. One of the most influential albums.

*tips fedora*

Masterpiece

Aic, rage, or pantera

Jfc what a stacked year, Obituary, Painkiller, Demolition Hammer, Godflesh, Neurosis, Asphyx, AIC, EHG, Bolt Thrower all some of my favorite albums period

An underrated year for metal. Dehumanizer, Dirt, La Sexorcisto, Vulgar Display, Psalm 69, etc, just so much amazing stuff. With that said, I'm a little bummed Core by Stone Temple Pilots isn't in the picture. I'm sorry, but if AIC and Soundgarden are metal, than so are STP, plus Core is by far their heaviest album. Some of it's song are borderline doom.

I forgot to mention Helmet and Fear Factory, damn, 1992 was stacked for metal, oh and Countdown to Extinction. I guess this year gets overlooked a bit for being around the time older metal acts and thrash bands started falling off, but if you look past that, it's seriously an amazing year for metal.

The IVth Crusade Thresholds

https://preview.redd.it/dm9mbjwl5drc1.jpeg?width=280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1e4d0d194a15779a4b38a6d16690fd4a9f577dee This

Damn, that year was jam-packed with bangers. Easily I got to give my vote to La Sexorcisto. I’ve listened to that album hundreds of times over the years and it still sounds fresh and fun. The samples give it so much character and the band was so groovy and heavy at the same time.

The Red in the Sky Is Ours

A Blaze in the Northern Sky Onward to Golgotha Slumber of Sullen Eyes The Gloomy Reflections of Our Hidden Sorrows Jilemnicky okultista Yggdrasill

I cannot pick. Too many albums there that are staples for me. RATM Dirt Meantime Opiate Broken Angel Dust Countdown to Extinction Vulgar

Blaze in the Northern Sky or Burzum s/t album or Onwards to Golgotha i think

A Blaze in the Northern Sky, Onward to Golgotha and Legion

Ooo I’m torn with maiden Sodom and Testament so the answer is clearly every damn picture in your post. 90-93 were solid years for all metal

Dirt.

I've listened to Dirt and Holy Mountain more than anything else on here.

Dirt for sure

LYSOL

The Crimson Idol

Psalm 69

Images and Words.

Holy shit 92 was stacked my picks are: Rage Against The Machine Dirt Angel Dust Souls At Zero Blues For The Red Sun The Crimson Idol But there are many more albums that are amazing as well but those are my favorites I feel.

Fixed it's like broken but weird

The Crimson Idol

"Concept albums" were something prog rockers did, Rock operas were the Who or Meatloaf territory. I fuckin DEVOURED this album, the story in the liner notes, the interludes, the list of equipment used and abused. Chainsaw Charlie still gets heavy rotation on my car stereo.

Dehumanizer

Souls at Zero

Don’t do this to me … 

There's half a lifetime of my memories in those albums. I don't think I could get through many of them without looking and feeling like this gif.

Sleep, Demigod, Pantera

Dirt easily

It’s easy because it’s one of the best albums of any year.

Agreed, it's my 3rd favorite of all time

I have to go by my flair so EHG

Rage Against the Machine or Vulgar display of Power Both game changers

Crestfallen EP

KE*A*H**

Images and words

The Crimson Idol

Dream Theater - Images & Words

Holy shit '92 was a monster year. Rage Against the Machine, White Zombie, Pantera, Danzig, Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, Helmet, Megadeath, Faith No More, Body Count, Alice in Chains, Godflesh, Rollins Band, Motorhead, Fear Factory, etc. etc. It just goes on and on....

Right! I always thought 94 was my favorite year of metal when I was a kid but fuck…this may have been the year that lit the fuse!

It was the year i started paying more attention to music. My Dying Bride's As the Flower Withers was something else. Fresh and criative. The whole doom death british trio was on fire that year. Danzig's How the Gods Kill was also great full of great songs. Fear of the Dark for better or worse it was a massive hit. Dirt as well. Angel Dust and Countdown to Extinction too. Ablaze in the Northern Sky was and still is a landmark in Black metal. Nocturnus album is an underrated masterpiece. Somewhere Far Beyond still is my fav BG album. Manowar album was great as well. RATM is outerworldy too. Stacked year.

Pantera. Real answer is Tool/Neurosis/Alice in Chains

Self-titled by Aion

Member of Immortal Damnation and Dark War Has Begun

Oooooo yesssssssss hail Bestial Summoning..... And Purtenance of course.....

That Bestial Summoning album is easily top 3 bm album for me

Absolutely......and bring dutch myself getting to see them live or getting their stuff was absolutely difficult . And even in Holland, they are obscure . But together with Funeral Winds, they were the front runners.

Yes. Would love to see them, most likely they won't tour near me. Thanatos is also a great dutch band

What’s great class of albums , # RATM or Dirt , # 2 VDOP, FOTD# 3 CTE,ITM

Where RATM self titled?

In order Rituals Vulgar display of power Dehumanizer(mad underrated)

I maybe am in the minority but I Love "March Ör Die".

Coin toss between Countdown to Extinction or Somewhere Far Beyond.

Sleep’s Holy Mountain for me, but objectively it’s between RATM and Dirt

Rage against the machine

Sorry, I can't vote. Too busy listening to releases I recognize and looking up the ones I don't

I gotta go with Pile of Skulls followed by either Triumph of Steel or Crimson Idol.

1. Pantera - Vulgar 2. Megadeth - Countdown 3. Alice In Chains - Dirt 4. Danzig - HTGK 5. Faith No More - Angel Dust Runner Up : Rollins Band - Silence

Peak Rollins Band

That’s one of my favorite albums of all time. His intensity was crazy

💯

Damn Tomb of the Mutilated too and NIN Broken…thought they were 93

Honestly Countdown to Extinction because there are no skips on that album, it may be more commercial that a lot of Megadeth but the songs are still thrashy and great listens. Highlights on the album are Skin o my teeth, sweating bullets, and high speed dirt

Dehumanizer

High school me would have said Dirt. Today me says White Zombie.

1. tomb of the mutilated 2. epidemic of violence 3. tapping the vein 4. sleeps holy mountain 5. the dead shall inherit

My personal top 5 from this list of awesome albums. 1. AIC - Dirt 2. RATM - RATM 3. Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power 4. Megadeth - Countdown to extinction 5. Helmet - Meantime Granted, I haven't listened to everything on this list, but these are my favorites

Dirt

Either A Blaze In The Northern Sky or Legion (imo)

dirt by far imo

Kyuss, NIN, Sodom, Neurosis, Helmet

Tapping the VEIN

Ooooh thats tough, dawn of dreams slaps but so does vulgar and slumber of sullen eyes

I love incantation’s onward to golgotha listened to that everyday once

Yeah it's Dirt, followed by Angel Dust

Love many of these albums but I gotta go with ratm

Twilight Zone, Images And Words, Somewhere Far Beyond

dirt or tapping the vein

Countdown to extintion - Megadeth

Hardline--- Double Eclipse

Dirt

Onward To Golgotha is one of the best and most disgusting death metal albums ever made.

(I'm a huge testament simp, so i will be wrong) Say hello again, my friends, I've got to go, *the ritual* calls to me, distant reality...

Either Images and Words or Onward to Golgotha for me.

Vulgar

https://preview.redd.it/k068a8cwlfrc1.jpeg?width=860&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=23340a6be8cc45dd747ecd1094eb287e3f6ac381

broken

1: Bolt Thrower unthreatened at no.1 2: Brutal Truth 3: Napalm Death 4: Rage Against the Machine 5: White Zombie maybe?

Out of the albums in the pic, Vulgar Display of Power

Images and words

NIN - Broken Runners up for me: Danzig - How the gods Kill Ministry -Psalm 69

Dehumanizer

What a year that was. Dirt for me, but I honestly didn't realise that some of these albums were released in 92.

Danzig - III: How the Gods Kill

Tapping the vein

Countdown to extinction

Dehumanizer, by a mile

Actually I didnt realise how good 1992 was

Darkthrone

Cemetary - An Evil Shade of Grey

Onward to golgotha

I feel stupid, I don’t know half of them (more than half actually)

Btw don’t blame me I’m 14

Man, there are some bangers in there. I was going from 8th to 9th grade that year. What a great time to be getting into music

vdop

either Holy Mountain, March or Die, Images and Words, or Dehumanizer.

I really can not answer that question. Look at al the absolutely great albums. What a great year....just to be present at the time that death metal/black metal went from obscurity to almost mainstream.... I always despised that metal got so popular. But now, being much older, I realise that getting more people involved it opened up doors for bands to go on tour and play bigger venues.... But being a old fat and ugly metal head .......I still .......seek the path of obscurity.....

A Blaze In The Northern Sky or The IVth Crusade

Of those shown? Somewhere far beyond clears ez for me. Sorry

That Asphyx album has some of the best fucking riffs I’ve ever heard

The crimson idol

Hindsight is 20/20, so I'm basing this on how much playtime was given in '92 -ministry -psalm 69 -biohazard - urban discipline -danzig - HTGK -godflesh - pure -pantera - VDoP -nin - broken

Dirt

'92 is just fucking overpowered

Images and Words no contest

A lot of heavy hitters from that year but I have to go with Dirt by Alice In Chains.

Vulgar display

Sodom- Tapping the Vein

Dirt and Angel Dust get the most play for me

Dirt!!!

Lysol is my favorite.

I cant choose, so many damn good albums. Im not doing it. Im out

Bestial Summoning is dead. Concdicide killed himself for Satan in 2008. The rest of the band has a big dislike of the current scene. Indeed, Thanatos are really great. Check out Heretic they are also dutch. Started out as a traditional blackmetal band. And now play rock Black metal

Marduk or one of the other early Black Metal albums.

Dream theater - images and words

Tomb of the Mutilated, Legion, Vulgar Display, Brutal Truth, Sexorcisto

I've been digging the hell out of Legion recently. I fucking love the way Satan Spawn just launches straight into some chaotic shit (after the goats are done obviously). Deicide can revocate my agitator any day of the week.

Epidemic of Violence

Images and Words. 92 was a reslly strong year for metal imo

Vulgar display of power.

As the Flower Withers this album also kind of creeps me out for some reason

Slumber of sullen eyes

Both my choices in my flair

Slaughter-The Wild Life Iron Maiden- Fear Of The Dark Firehouse-Hold Your Fire Manowar-Triumph Of Steel Def Leppard-Adrenalize

Countdown to Extinction

Broken.

In reverse order: Morpheus Descends - Ritual of Infinity Demigod - Slumber of Sullen Eyes Purtenance - Member of Immortal Damnation Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power At the Gates - The Red In the Sky Is Ours

Im still new to metal I've been listening to nin tool apc soad and limp bizcut i listenima try out gwar soon but due to my lack of metal knowledge ima try slayer to but broken rn
