Quite possibly THE most consistent discography in all of metal considering the size and one of the hardest ones to rank. This is one that could probably change at any given time but I'd say the only numbers that I'd probably never change are number one and dead last.

1.Enslaved - Axioma Ethica Odini

2.Enslaved - Below The Lights

3.Enslaved - Ruun

4.Enslaved - Isa

5.Enslaved - Mardraum - Beyond The Within

Within the past decade, black metal has seen bands from all over the world incorporating new sounds to the genre and changing its delivery like never before. As great as the classic bands are, BM bands today seem to be branching out in every possible direction. From the beautiful chaos of the French bands, to the developing psychedelic black metal style, and even the Avantgarde craziness of the Meads or work from Mories... all the experimentation is helping to create a bold new identity for the genre's sound. Black metal today could very well be the one area of metal where we see the most experimentation taking place, and I hope the albums in this list will illustrate this growing trend.

1.Necromantia - Crossing The Fiery Path

2.Ved Buens Ende - Written In Waters

3.Woods Of Belial - Deimos XIII

4.Deathspell Omega - Fas - Ite, Maledicti, In Ignem Aeternum

5.Blut Aus Nord - MoRT

Enslaved's career can be distributed in five different eras:

The first era consists of the first three albums, namely Vikingligr Veldi (1994), Frost (1994) and Eld (1997). All these albums are important releases in Viking Metal's history and they have defined some musical aspects for the whole genre.

1.Enslaved - Isa

2.Enslaved - Vikingligr Veldi

3.Enslaved - Eld

4.Enslaved - Blodhemn

5.Enslaved - Frost

In my oppinion these are the best of 2001, and one important fact is that many great bands made their debut in this year (Ensiferum, Moonsorrow, Arthemesia, Falconer, Saurom Lamderth, Pagan Reign, Runic...)

1.Ensiferum - Ensiferum

2.Moonsorrow - Voimasta Ja Kunniasta

3.Moonsorrow - Suden Uni

4.Saurom Lamderth - El Guardian de las Melodias Perdidas

5.Agalloch - Of Stone, Wind And Pillor
