The Best Metal Albums* From A To # (W)

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.W.A.S.P. - The Crimson Idol
2.Wachenfeldt - The Interpreter
3.Wake - Devouring Ruin
4.Waldgeflüster - Femundsmarka - Eine Reise In Drei Kapiteln
5.Walknut - Graveforests And Their Shadows

Yet Another Useless Folking List

This is a list of all the folk metal albums I have listened to that I found to be of at least marginal quality. It is purely for my own organizational purposes and is not meant to be a definitive statement about the genre; for that reason, there are some entries that don't entirely fit the description, including some neofolk albums and bands that don't exactly play "folk metal" but are close enough.

1.Elvenking - Secrets Of The Magick Grimoire
2.Forefather - Ours Is The Kingdom
3.Forefather - Steadfast
4.Forefather - Last Of The Line
5.Dalriada - Áldás

Pretty much every album that's caught my attention over the year, including non-metal. (Variety is a virtue, y'know )

1.Swans - To Be Kind
2.Darren Korb - Transistor Original Soundtrack
3.Bent Knee - Shiny Eyed Babies
4.Gazpacho - Demon
5.Vampillia - My Beautiful Twisted Nightmares In Aurora Rainbow Darkness
