  I'm pretty proud to own Cattle Decapitation's "Ten Torments of the Damned". Not super rare, but pretty cool, especially if you're a cow decap fan.  

 
I was always impressed how much mainstream exposure that band got, considering how extreme they are. I still need to listen to their albums.

I have a vinyl rip of Nile's At The Gates Of Sethu, and I know that DR ratings on vinyl are pretty much useless it does give you an idea of whether or not the source was the cd master or not

*was acquired as 24/192, but that makes no difference whatsoever
 

 
The spectogram says the frequency stops just under 20khz, so.... tape source?

How does it sound to you compared to the CD?
 
Thanks for reminding me to transfer Nile albums to my iPod!

Start with Harvest Floor and go to their newer from there. Older albums were... not the best.
 
But holy hell are they awesome live. 

 

[SomeGuyDude]

  I like Nile a lot because of George Kollias (Im a drummer) and I can tolerate Behemoth and Cryptopsy, yet to listen to the rest.

 
If you're a drummer I'd imagine you'd be all about Cryptopsy. Flo's a monster behind the kit, fastest hands in the game outside of John Longstreth with an insanely frenetic style.

Yeah, you can't beat john.

Almost got to see them.. damn.  And my favorite is actually this newest one.

They're a rare band that has gotten better with every release. I saw them with Job for a Cowboy, Whitechapel, and Gaza.
 
I'll say this, Gaza left such an impression on me that I have one of their album covers tattooed across my back. 

 

[SomeGuyDude]

  Yeah, you can't beat john.

 
Just a shame Origin is so dull. He's a frighteningly talented drummer but I can't really listen to much of their music.

Now that is hardcore.

 
I used to want this version of the In Flames Jester Head tattooed across my back:
 

 
Here is a funny Cracked article I found about the band.

I'd listen to them before Aeon... they can get pretty dull.

 

[SomeGuyDude]

I'm not even sure I'd call them the same genre at all, but I agree Aeon is pretty damn bleh. 

 

[ChrisSteimel]

Lol, sure, lets all pretend thrash wouldn't be where it is without Metallica.

Alright, I'll add some of these albums up tomorrow.

Don't forget about Slayer's 'Reign In Blood'.  I think that's just as important as Metallica's early contributions to the genre.  

 

[Wnuwk Siphon]

Saw Down yesterday in Amsterdam. It was glorious.

Theyre both tech-death
