Get to listening and decide for yourself you lazy cunt.

My Fushitsusha album is the least metal on there, there's your first cut.

Mine just makes more sense, his doesn't even have Triptykon or Sigh

Severed Survival and Dawn of Possession are better than all those death metal ones so I'm guessing that's not how it works

I still say mine is more definitive and metallic, while yours dives deeper into the weirder, more obscure and ambiguous. Although Obscura is an obvious choice I forgot about, which is going to replace Mirrorthrone

But it's my list, and the bias is heavy

I gotta give some of those albums another listen before I get back to you on that. I might have to kick off either Napalm Death or Nile for Bolt Thrower though. And if I'm gonna put up an Autopsy album, it's gonna be Mental Funeral: it's doomier (i.e. better) and it's generally the more critically acclaimed.

I'm also being biased because frown's list has a few albums I still wouldn't personally consider avant-garde metal. Including Vermis, although I haven't listened to that one yet and am basing that off the other Ulcerate albums I've heard.

I haven't listened to much Ulcerate either, but I didn't think they qualified as much more than death metal that was experimental for death metal.

Well isn't that the idea when you're coming up with an avant garde metal list?

Alright, I've been revising my lists a bit (grindcore list added BTW) and I'm wondering if Celtic Frost's Monotheist might not make more sense on the doom metal list. Whatever else it is, it's very much a doom album.

Edit: Also, as far as lists go, added alt metal, industrial metal, grindcore, and part of groove metal/post-thrash. Changed some line-ups in death metal, doom metal, and melodic death metal. Still need to finalize groove/post-thrash, avant garde, and metalcore. Check Spoiler in OP for the details. Input welcome and shall be discarded accordingly.
