Name some albums that you think are truly excellent but seem to have been forgotten. Keep it to albums from 1999 or before.

Main one for me is Obtained Enslavement - Centuries of Sorrow. Often comparable to Gorgoroth's Antichrist but came out two years earlier. More epic and adventurous than 'Antichrist' but not as memorable. Fantastic album though. This band seems to be overlooked and even when they are mentioned people seem to be more interested in the second and third albums but the first one is fantastic.

Any more?

I mean I certainly don't hear much about Pestilince on the whole these days. Bands like Death, Obituary, Cannibal Corpse, Slayer, Deicide, Suffocation... Those are the bands that everyone seems to talk about when it comes to classics.
