Best Albums Of The Decade(2000-2009): #38-37



38.The Black Dahlia Murder-Miasma(2005)

Miasma holds a special place in my heart, it was the first record that got me into death metal. Upon first listen, I was floored by the unique vocals of Trevor Strnad(which have since been poorly copied by a bunch of other bands) and the precision across the board instrumentally. A lot of Black Dahlia classics are found on this album including "A Vulgar Picture","Statutory Ape", and the title track. I was insantly in love with this band after this record. Miasma is an intense and very raw record from a band that was only coming into its own at this point in time.


Standout Tracks 1.A Vulgar Picture 2.Miasma 3.Spite Suicide


37.Killswitch Engage-Alive Or Just Breathing(2002)


Alive Or Just Breathing is one of the most lauded metalcore records of all time. This record is an absolute classic from top to bottom. This is the last record with Jesse Leach on it and though I love current vocalist Howard Jones, Leach is just as good if not better. Alive Or Just Breathing is full of great hooks and a nice mix of heavy and melodic guitars. This record is one of the finest within in this genre and Killswitch Engage are pretty much the masters of metalcore.

Standout Tracks 1.The Element Of One 2.Vide Infra 3.My Last Serenade
