The Best Metal Albums* From A To # (X-#)

This list is meant to be an extensive, but by no means exhaustive, collection of the greatest (modern) metal albums and eps. Running the gamut from avant-garde to trve norweigan black metal. *As someone who is young in age, my tastes tend to revolve around the period of the 80s to the present.* Although certain metal albums from before will certainly be featured, the period of the 60s-70s will be under-represented. I refer you to this excellent list to gain a better appreciation for some of the best metal from that period: https://rateyourmusic.com/list/freis/martin_popoffs_the_top_500_heavy_metal_albums_of_all_time/

1.X Japan - Blue Blood
2.Xandria - Neverworld's End
3.Xanthochroid - Of Erthe And Axen: Act II
4.Xasthur - To Violate The Oblivious
5.Xeno - Sojourn

The Best Gothic Metal Albums

Note 1: This list will take time before it gets a definitive form (or it might take forever if good gothic metal albums will be released in the future).

Note 2: Another important feature is that this list will not take into consideration the Metalstorm way of labeling what is gothic metal and what isn't. Some albums have gothic metal elements yet they are not categorized as gothic metal. No hard feelings. I am also accepting suggestions as I might slip a couple of albums in the process.

1.Estatic Fear - A Sombre Dance
2.Tiamat - Wildhoney
3.The Sins Of Thy Beloved - Lake Of Sorrow
4.Tristania - Widow's Weeds
5.Theatre Of Tragedy - Velvet Darkness They Fear

Women of Doom

Doom is my favorite sub genre of metal. One of the main reason being is the sheer diversity it offers, not only in terms of styles but also vocally. Female vocalists are no exception and that is what I want to highlight with this list. The few criteria I have set is that it obviously has to be doom metal of some sort and that it vocally is either sole female vocals or at least for the majority of an albums duration, i.e no "beauty and the beast"-style bands.

New bands are of course constantly forming so this is by no means a complete list. Feel free to suggest bands that might be missing.

Enjoy! \m/

1.(Dolch) - Feuer
2.13 - Hollow / Bound
3.A Tree Of Signs - Salt
4.Acid King - Busse Woods
5.Albino Python - The Doomed And The Damned

The Rarest CDs In Jiri's Kollection

The following CDs are the as the title states, "The Rarest CDs In Jiri's Kollection". However, there are two LP sets, so the title is ultimately lying. Anyway, these CDs have ineffable sentimental and "pride for owning them" value, as well as monetary value. I have listed them in order of "pride" importance; meaning the first is the most adored by Jiri and the last is least adored by Jiri, but still a rare artifact. That said, anything ultra rare in Jiri's kollection was examined and placed into the list below. Enjoy.

1.Root - Kärgeräs
2.Chthonic - Where The Ancestors' Souls Gathered
3.Ulver - The Trilogie - Three Journeyes Through The Norwegian Netherworlde
4.Sigh - Infidel Art
5.Sigh - Ghastly Funeral Theatre
