I see " Possessed" to be pretty good. My favorite songs by them are The Exorcist, Pentagram, and Twisted Minds. I just didn't really have a problem with my decision to put them in the top ten. This was a very hard list to put together, I had a rough draft of thirty metal bands sitting in front of me and I found it near impossible to rank them by the best ten. The honorable mentions that you see are the final picks that just missed the cut.

I'm honestly not a huge fan of Black Metal. While there are certainly many good Black Metal bands, it just isn't my favorite as a whole. I am more into thrash metal.

Thanks for all these suggestions, by the way, I'll be sure to look them up!
