5. Agalloch - The Mantle

This is a list comprised of my personal favorite albums. I tried to keep a limitation of two albums per band, but some musicians such will appear on the list at a higher frequency due to having multiple bands. Small reviews for each album will be added eventually. Please note that this list is still under heavy construction, and is no where near done. Many things are probably missing, and some albums may not remain for too long. My goal is to get 100 albums, but if that becomes too difficult I will chop the list down to 50 (or maybe 75). If you can think of any album you think I may be forgetting (read: an album you think I find to be one of my favorites, not your's), don't hesitate to remind me of it's existence.

1. Acid Bath - When The Kite String Pops

2. Agalloch - The Mantle

3. Aluk Todolo - Occult Rock

4. Amorphis - The Karelian Isthmus

5. Ataraxie - Slow Transcending Agony

Here is my provisional favorite-metal-albums-of-all-time-list! Enjoy!
The first 10 albums are in pretty accurate order. However, after that, it becomes harder and harder to separate the albums clearly. Thus, you can say that I enjoy album x on the list as much as the others in the interval of (x-5) to (x+5). For example album 37 would be as much enjoyed as 32, 33, 34, ..., 42, or something like that.

1. Cult Of Luna - Somewhere Along The Highway

2. Disillusion - Back To Times Of Splendor

3. Grand Alchemist - Intervening Coma-Celebration

4. Opeth - Blackwater Park

5. Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory

My top 50 favourite albums of all time (initially it was a top 20 list). I restricted every band by a maximum of 2 albums.

I've added genres and my favourite songs.

1. After Forever - Decipher

2. Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain

3. Agalloch - The Mantle

4. Alcest - Souvenirs D'un Autre Monde

This was by far the most difficult list to do. That's because all top releases are so good that any could be number one. 1996 probably best metal year ever imo.

1. Cradle Of Filth - Dusk... And Her Embrace

2. Theatre Of Tragedy - Velvet Darkness They Fear

3. Moonspell - Irreligious

4. Samael - Passage

5. Cradle Of Filth - V Empire

5. Emperor - Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk

My version of The Epics (Best Songs Over 10 Minutes) only this time it's more The Epics (Songs Over 10 Minutes) because we kept griping to PG and he wouldn't update his list. According to his profile he hasn't been on in... 371 days. So I thought "Hey, why not do it myself?"
Arranged by time. If you feel or know a song should be on here, let me know. I'm a mainstream fag, so I only listen to the popular stuff. I might have missed some bands.

1. Be'lakor - Stone's Reach

2. Kalisia - Cybion

3. Sun Of The Blind - Skullreader

4. Nile - Ithyphallic

5. Nightwish - Once

It's nearly been a year since I've started listening to metal. I've listened to many albums since then, but it took me some time to get used to some genres, band ideologies and listening to full albums. This is a list of albums that had a big impact on the way I perceive metal. It is NOT a favorite album list as I don't still frequently listen to some of the listed albums anymore. Ordered by impact level.

1. Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain

2. Suffocation - Pierced From Within

3. Immortal - At The Heart Of Winter

4. Agalloch - The Mantle

5. Edge Of Sanity - Crimson
