A lot of bands have great debut albums. Obviously this list is just a fraction of all the great debut albums out there, but it's a start. I'll keep expanding this list continuously, so all suggestions are welcome. My favourite genres are Doom, Black and Gothic Metal, but I also like Progressive, Thrash and Death Metal. All albums on this list are at least worth an 8/10 rating. I included genres of each album as well.

1. 40 Watt Sun - The Inside Room

2. Ablaze In Hatred - Deceptive Awareness

3. A Forest Of Stars - The Corpse Of Rebirth

4. After Forever - Prison Of Desire

5. Agalloch - Pale Folklore
