for fans of heavy music

Based on listening time alone I'll have to say it's a toss-up between Empath by Devin Townsend and Transcendence by Devin Townsend Project but neither are his heaviest work.
Destrage's "The Chosen One" is up there along with Brute Force by The Algorithm and Necrophaze by Wednesday 13 and Haken's "A Cell Devides" but I've been struggling to stop listening to Static-X, Coheed and Cambria and various other old favourites. I seem to be lightening up somewhat and moving towards prog & mathcore.

So chaps....
Album of the decade???
For me it's got to be .......
Tesseract- altered state.
Impossible to pick one, as there's just been so much. Of the stuff I've listened to a lot, these are up there for me:-Album of the decade???
For me it's got to be .......
Tesseract- altered state.
Woods of Ypres - Woods V
Slugdge - Esoteric Malacology
Cattle Decapitation - Anthropocene Extinction
Forbidden - Omega Wave
Schammasch - Contradiction & Triangle
Wolvhammer - Clawing Into Black Sun
Thrawsunblat - Wanderer on the Continent of Saplings
Conan - Blood Eagle
Slomatics - Estron
Irreversible Mechanism - Infinite Fields (the album that finally made me "get" tech death)
Teitanblood - Death (utterly insane)
Frontierer - Orange Mathematics
Stack of other stuff, especially Black Metal, especially French, but also a tonne of tech death and doom stuff. Problem I find is there's just so much great stuff out there that it's very, very hard for something to "stick" long enough before something else blows it away. That said, "Esoteric Malacology" is genuinely up there with the nailed on all time best death metal albums for me.

I forgot that primordial released where greater men have fallen too!
That is a belter, true!Ordinary Corrupt Human Love by Deafheaven would feature fairly highly on any list that I cobbled together, although I could put said list together and it would change each time that I did, mood dependant - no way could I create a definitive one!

Watched Rammstein: Paris on Prime the other night. Bloody brilliant! One of the best gigs I've ever been to a few years ago in Manchester - they really know how to put on a good show. Took me right back watching this. Even the wife loved watching it 
Cheers for this, will watch.tuscaneer said:
I expected a few votes for fear inoculum.... no doubt it's a cracking album but for me I haven't had enough time with it to truly let in sink into my soul yet...and as such it isn't at the top of a ten year pile for me...
Few interesting picks so far though chaps
I thought I'd have to book myself into The Priory at the time, as I could. not. stop listening to it! Cut it with Slipknot's We Are Not Your Kind just to keep me sane as I was bloody dreaming FIFew interesting picks so far though chaps
Just started relistening and it truly is a stunning piece of work. Not just in the heavy genre, but all music full stop. By far their greatest album for me. Reminds me a lot of SikTh's Opacities EP, in the sense that they spent years away and when they finally came back they'd distilled a few tracks of the very purest SikTh imaginable. And yet it was completely fresh and moved the whole game on. FI is pretty much the same for me.
Which leads me to Opacities being second on my list of greatest albums (even though it's an EP) of the last decade.
