i'll bet that made you happy, to be ranked above Iron Maoden.

Surprising. Obviously it has a lot to do with it being a Christian Metal Board. I WISH we could sell as many CDs as Iron Maiden.

still, thats gotta be a good feeling.

it troubles me that they left Motorhead off that list. Kiss of Death surely should be on it.

i never did a top 50 for 06, i'd have to do some more thinking. here is my top 25 though...


01.) Celtic Frost - Monothiest

02.) Anaal Nathrakh - Eschaton

03.) Deicide - The Stench of Redemption

04.) Gorgoroth - Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam

05.) Slayer - Christ Illusion

06.) Darkthrone - The Cult Is Alive

07.) Napalm Death - Smear Campaign

08.) Motorhead - Kiss Of Death

09.) Doro - Warrior Soul

10.) Vader - Impressions In Blood

11.) Skinless - Trample The Weak/Hurdle The Dead

12.) Impaled Nazarene - Pro Patria Finlandia

13.) Unleashed - Midvinterblot

14.) Suffocation - Suffocation

15.) Goatwhore - A Haunting Curse

16.) Incantation-Primordial Domination
