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

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.Uada - Djinn
2.Uaral - Sounds Of Pain
3.Ufomammut - Eve
4.Úir - Óenach Tailten
5.Ulcerate - The Destroyers Of All

1.Meshuggah - Nothing
2.SikTh - The Trees Are Dead And Dried Out, Wait For Something Wild
3.Meshuggah - Catch Thirtythree
4.SikTh - Death Of A Dead Day
5.Textures - Drawing Circles

Most Talented Vocalists In Metal

My other lists:
Tasty Stuff Not Currently Featured On MS
So I Heard You Like Opeth...

A concise list of my metalhead man-crushes (now featuring ladies.)

While there is little introduction required for some of these bands and their front(wo)men, there are no words that can accurately describe such jaw-dropping talent anyhow. The albums and youtube links listed are meant to display the full capacity of vocalists' talents, not the bands' most quality or popular tracks - click the links below and behold the prowess.

1.Abstrakt Algebra - Abstrakt Algebra
2.Adagio - Underworld
3.Akercocke - Words That Go Unspoken, Deeds That Go Undone
4.Amorphis - Silent Waters
5.Anaal Nathrakh - Vanitas

A List Of Great Debut Albums

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 (granted they are featured on MS). All the albums here are ranked according to genre and then alphabetically. If a certain album belongs to the (in your opinion) wrong genre, then definitely let me know.

1.
2.Aarni - Bathos
3.Arcturus - Aspera Hiems Symfonia
4.Diablo Swing Orchestra - The Butcher's Ballroom
5.Sadness - Ames De Marbre

Anno Domini 2011 (updated 20.01.13)

Even in 2012 (update: 2013), 2011 still isn't too hot a year for me. Still, new stuff keeps on coming, and 2012 itself is looking pretty good, so I'll forgive it. New in the new year is the lack of ratings. It's bothersome, especially since I've decided to sacrifice a few newborns and (retrospectively and retroactively) rate on RYM.

1.Hell - Human Remains
2.SubRosa - No Help For The Mighty Ones
3.Anubis Gate - Anubis Gate
4.Hammers Of Misfortune - 17th Street
5.Mastodon - The Hunter

2011 Top To Bottom.

I don't believe in illegal downloading of easily available albums, so this list is only albums I have actually purchased and own a hard copy or official download of. The order is VERY fluid, and in all likelihood, wrong. But oh well....

Coming soon: Comments for each album & finalised order for the year...

1.Thy Catafalque - Rengeteg
2.Omnium Gatherum - New World Shadows
3.Ulcerate - The Destroyers Of All
4.Symphony X - Iconoclast
5.Cormorant - Dwellings

2011 Selections

Each year countless of albums come out. This is obviously by no means a definitive guide because as of 14/12/2011, I've only heard 364 releases from 2011, but do check these albums out if you haven't already! Feel free to throw stuff at my direction. In a rough order right now and rankings get rearranged every now and again. Will be trimmed around again in January / February. Note that I still have plenty to check out though.

1.Terra Tenebrosa - The Tunnels
2.Esoteric - Paragon Of Dissonance
3.Born Of Osiris - The Discovery
4.The Psychic Paramount - II
5.Flourishing - The Sum Of All Fossils
