A List Of Great Debut Albums

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. |

40 Watt Sun - The Inside Room | |
2.
Ablaze In Hatred - Deceptive Awareness | |
3.
A Forest Of Stars - The Corpse Of Rebirth | |

I've added genres and my favourite songs. |

Iron Recommends: A Metal Selection
Yep, one of those lists. Everyone has one, so I thought I'd make a list of metal albums I really recommend.
This is not an absolute "best-of" list, for a few reasons:
1) I stick to one album per band, unless there's been a drastic style shift (like Katatonia's).
2) I try to cover all major subgenres fairly, so I have something for everyone. It counterbalances the tendency to list all the cool bands in a style I'm into right now (like drone or epic doom). |
1.
Warning - Watching From a Distance | |
2.
Candlemass - Nightfall | |
3.
Reverend Bizarre - In The Rectory of the Bizarre Reverend | |
4.
Pagan Altar - The Lords Of Hypocrisy | |
5.
Katatonia - Dance of December Souls |

Kinda saw another relative lists on here that state this, one bad and one inspirational, so thought I might do my own.
