Remembering a musician’s discography is easy when it’s short. Some artists release only an EP or two, while others have produced iconic works that everyone can name. Then there are those who, due to temporary hiatuses or creative droughts, can take a decade or more to release even one album.
And then there are artists who do the exact opposite: releasing a staggering number of official works almost constantly. Whether full-length albums, live recordings, EPs, demos, or splits, their discographies grow massive, dense, and incredibly hard to keep track of—often reaching record-breaking numbers.

Brian Patrick Carroll, better known as Buckethead, is one of the most eccentric musicians around: always wearing a white mask and a bucket on his head (hence the name), and behaving oddly in front of fans and the press. But his skills as a composer are undeniable: his virtuosity and technique are off the charts, allowing him to span genres from prog metal to funk and blues, earning him a place among the greatest shredders of all time alongside Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, and Paul Gilbert. Buckethead’s artistic mind seems infinite, and his discography proves it. He has released a mind-blowing 822 official works: 481 full-length albums (119 of which came out in 2015 alone), 5 demos, 181 live albums, and 155 other releases, including EPs, singles, collaborations, and compilations. A true labyrinth for anyone trying to explore their career from start to finish.

Though not widely known, Agathocles can easily be considered the pioneers of grindcore. Formed in 1987, they have continued delivering increasingly aggressive and evolving material, blending elements of death and industrial along the way. Diving into their discography in detail is a monumental task: even just the 16 full-length albums would take time, but their total output is staggering. Including EPs, compilations, splits (a grindcore staple), 29 live albums, and 5 demos, their official release count reaches 658. Productivity is certainly not an issue here.

Matt Mansfield, a musician from New York, is the creative force behind the solo project Phyllomedusa, known for its gore-noise sound and frog-centric concept. This might already sound bizarre, but the sheer volume of releases takes it to another level: 198 full-length albums, 65 of which were released in 2018 alone. Counting singles and other releases, the total reaches an astonishing 484 works, many of them splits. For anyone interested in amphibians—or just the sheer oddity of this project—Phyllomedusa is a treasure trove… though exploring it will take time.

Like Sabbat, Nunslaughter also has a substantial discography. Their 5 full-length albums are just the tip of the iceberg; including shorter works, they have 155 releases. Add 54 live albums, and the total climbs to 214 official works. Their longest albums shine the most, but the rest of their output is equally worth exploring… if only it were easier to navigate.

Long discographies are more common in death metal and grindcore, but in black metal—especially depressive black metal—they are rare. Sadness, the solo project of Damián Antón Ojeda, is the exception. Over the past 10 years, he has carved out a notable place in the genre. While he only recently started performing live (and has no live albums yet), he has released 22 full-length albums, including 5 in 2015, 3 in 2016, and another 3 in 2024. Adding all other releases, his total reaches 66—modest compared to the others, but impressive given the genre and the spacing between releases.
