The BNR Metal Pages - Best Death Metal Album Of All Time

This second BNR Metal Pages tournament took place in the summer of 2011. 64 albums from 64 different bands. Coming up with the list of albums was difficult, I tried to pick as many representative albums from established bands as possible, sprinkling in a few lesser-known cult favorites, and also tried to cover the major subgenres (brutal, old-school, melodic). Unlike the first tournament, there were no seeds, the pairings were completely random and not announced in advance.
