The break-out Metal Album of All Time \m/
As it says
This isn't metal enough. Where's beyond creation? Necrophagist? The faceless?
Start a death metal thread then!
Hmm, not sure if they had a Breakout album... death metal breakout album is Death - Leprosy
Slayer - Reign In Blood for me
Lol at SoaD being on this list AND being tied for first. Bunch of normies on Blind.
Well true, but SOAD was break out for sure and they achieved a broader reach than Slipknot or Korn, coz clean vocals
Sure, except for every band you just listed, SOAD included, not being metal.
This a hopeless exercise. But, Judas Priest Screaming for Vengeance was their real break out record, not Painkiller. And come on, no Metallica Master of Puppets? Black Album was just turning the crank.
This is what I came here for! Yes Master of Puppets is awesome but Black made them a household name
Not system of a down for sure.
If you look at early 2000s, a lot of bands were pushing boundaries of Metal. Metallica, Limp Bizkit, Godsmack sounded similar. Korn, Slipknot on the rise. Slayer was experimenting Rap. SOAD is indeed Metal, especially since they brought Armenian influences. Rudra should also be there
Black Sabbath started it all,so there's your answer. And if you don't agree then metal up your @$$
Lol black album as a break out album? Get real.
Ok. So then, Ride the Lightening?
Ride the Lightning was building momentum, but I would say Master of Puppets was the breakout for them.
