Essential metal albums

[echoareone]

Hey, afficianados, I need some suggestions for kick-ass metal albums.
I have your basics covered; metallica, maiden, slayer, morbid angel, atheist, arch enemy, carcass, death, cryptopsy, emperor, enslaved, et al.

Where else can I go? (this is obviously not an exhaustive list)

[deserusan]

I'd add some Pantera (the Best of) and maybe some Ozzy (Live at Budokan).

[TribalJMD]

Megadeth-Rust in Piece

devildriver-the fury of our makers hand

[RavenStorm]

Brutality - Screams Of Anguish
Ulver - Nattens Madrigal
Hibria - Defying The Rules
Ribspreader - Bolted To The Cross

Megadeth-Rust in Piece

One of my favorite albums to just "rock out" to. Hell yeah.
Thx for suggestions guys, keep em comin! :D

[EdgarAllanPoe]

Meshuggah-obZen

I typically don't like the death metal-ish sounding metal (growling) but that album is ****ing brutal. In the gym its insane. The drumming on bleed is as heavy as anything you'll ever hear

the self titled track is bad ass too.
