Terrorizer Writers'/Readers' Poll 2003

A list of 2003's 40 best albums according to the journalists at Terrorizer was published this month. Here goes:

1. Akercocke - Chronozon
2. Enslaved - Below The Lights
3. Darkthrone - Hate Them
4. Axis Of Perdition - The Ichneumon Method
5. Iron Maiden - Dance Of Death
6. Ephel Duath - The Painter's Palette
7. Killing Joke - Killing Joke
8. The Meads Of Asphodel -Exhuming The Grave Of Yeshua
9. Opeth - Damnation
10. Khanate - Things Viral
11. Cult Of Luna - The Beyond
12. The Hidden Hand - Divine Propaganda
13. Reveren Bizarre - Harbinger Of Metal
14. Burnt By The Sun - The Perect Is The Enemy Of The Good
15. Funeral Mist - Salvation
16. The Angels Of Light - Everything Is Good Here/Please Come Home
17. Melechesh - Sphynx
18. Therapy? - High Anxiety
19. Sunn0))) - White 1
20. Katatonia - Viva Emptiness
21. Neurosis & Jarboe - Neurosis & Jarboe
22. Aborym - With No Human Intervention
23. Palehorse - Gee, That Ain't Swell
24. Tomahawk - Mit Gas
25. Anaal Nathrakh - When Fire Rains Down From The Sky, Mankind Will Reap As It Has Sown
26. Every Time I Die - Hot Damn!
27. Laibach - Wat
28. Revenge - Triumph.Genocide.Antichrist
29. Mars Volta - De-Loused In The Cromatorium
30. Twisted Tower Dire - Crest Of The Martyrs
31. Place Of Skulls - With Vision
32. Melt Banana - Cell-Scape
33. While Heaven Wept - Of Empires Forlorn
34. Mistress - II:The Chronovisor
35. Pelican - Australasia
36. Ellend - Winds Devouring Men
37. Arkhon Infaustus - Filth Catalyst
38. Blood Brothers - Burn Piano Island, Burn
39. Deftones - Deftones
40. Hatebreed - The Rise Of Brutality

They also published the readers' poll for best album:

1. Iron Maiden - Dance Of Death
2. Dimmu Borgir - Death Cult Armageddon
3. Anthrax - We've Come For You All
4=. Opeth - Damnation, Machine Head - Through The Ashes Of Empires
5=. Akercocke - Chronozon, Zyklon - Aeon
6. Arch Enemy - Anthems Of Rebellion
7. Katatonia - Viva Emptiness
8=. Anathema - A Natural Disaster, Morbid Angel - Heretic
9=. Mistress - II:The Chronovisor, Type O Negative - Life Is Killing Me
10. Mithras - Worlds Beyond The Veil


I couldn't believe Heretic or Aeon didn't make the writer's top 40! You could easily get rid of the Deftones and Mars Volta to accomodate them. Machine Head should have been in the top 40 too after a good return to form for them in 2003.

Anyway that's my opinion, I wonder what anyone else here thinks about either of the lists...

Not heard it, but I'm pretty sure it would still be better than Hatebreed. They bore me to tears with that fist-clenching, chest beating, unity ethic. There are so many HC bands that are better then them, they've just got a lot of hype surrounding them. Top 40? No chance!

Psycroptic didn't make it either! I love "The Sceptre Of The Ancients" and I've only had it a week! Definitely in my top 40.

Only just!

Yeah, Akercocke would get my vote for best album. Not a weak song in sight on Chronozon. Simply brilliant.

All in all it's a pretty good list. But considering that Terrorizer is an extreme metal magazine I was a little surprised to see Killing Joke, Deftones, Therapy? and Mars Volta included. I suppose 4 black sheep out of 40 isn't that bad, but there are plenty of bands more deserving of a spot in the top 40 than them.
