Contra: Shattered Soldier has got some groovy tunes;
Please dont.

So glad somebody beat me to it, and so early in the thread, too! Nice work.
F-Zero X Guitar Arrange is not only a great game music album, it's an amazing metal album period.
More recently, the criminally-overlooked FREEDOM FINGER has a pretty dope soundtrack:

Here, have some more:
Level intro: (and that is NOLAN NORTH talking to JOHN DIMAGGIO)
A bit deeper into the fight:
Doesn't hurt that POWER TRIP is, like, the best recent thrash outfit currently going right now.

Damn I forgot Killing floor has good ass songs. It reminded me that its too bad people hated Dante's theme in DMC 5 because I want to hear more screamo in games in general but its too bold of a choice for most games since alot of people hate screamo.
Did you mean Quake II? Or Q3A? Quake 1 had a largely ambient soundtrack while 2 (and some of 3) had awesome work by SONIC MAYHEM, aka
Sascha Dikiciyan. That performance at The Game Awards with Mick was LEGENDARY.
Speaking of Mick, while his work on Doom and Wolf was incredible, he did some amazing metal stuff on KI too. Lest we forget!
You already posted my number one. I can in particular recommend the awesome guitar arrangement:
F-Zero X: Guitar Arrange Edition (Full Album)
Just sharing this awesome music with everyone.Tracks:0:00 The Long Distance of Murder2:45 Drivin' on Through Max5:56 Crazy Call at Cry9:15 Title BGM12:...

Lords of Thunder and Gate of Thunder have some of the best metal soundtracks of all time. Lords is thrashier with way better solos, but Gate has a lot of riffs that sound like something that would be on a King Diamond album. I haven't heard another video game OST that encapsulates some of the best of the late 80s and early 90s metal like Lords though.
I had that disc too, and while it has a couple of "metal" tracks, it's not really a metal album as a whole.

Is this for sale anywhere? The Japanese CDs are pretty pricey these days. Might pick the game up on GOG because it comes with MP3s (that I don't see on Steam or elsewhere).
Brutal Legend is king, such an amazing selection of metal song history. Doom 2016 probably has the best original Metal Soundtrack.
A Few of the Hidden Gems I love on the Brutal Legend Sountrack
3 Inches of Blood - Deadly Sinners
Angel Witch
Brocus Helm - Cry of the Banshees
Cradle of Filth - Her Ghost in the Fog
Manowar - Die for Metal

Doom for sure and I'd like to add the last couple editions of Wolfenstein as well.
- I misread, I guess you mean't entire soundtracks. Then I've got nothing.
Does this count?
But I guess these too.

Thirding the Killing Floor 2 soundtrack, though my favourite still is the Descent II Red-Book OST.
I know it's more industrial than metal, but booting up the game and starting to hear the title song is permanently burned into my brain.
Honourable mention to Aria's remix in Crypt of the NecroDancer.

The only thing that was disappointing to me was the lack of vocals on any tracks, imagine some cool power vocals for some fights a la Metal gear rising. That made the soundtrack kinda underwhelming to me but I just really like vocals in general even if its only background chants.
Also this.
Also where the fuck is Serious Sam 4, I want that shiet.
That is some Up The Fucking Irons shit there yus yus.
The Metal x Metal Metalapalooza and the best compilation OST ever.
This is good. It's composed by Andrew Hulshult? Is the rest of the OST like this? Makes me feel like I need to check out QC.
