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

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.Ea - Ea Taesse
2.Earth - The Bees Made Honey In The Lion's Skull
3.Earth And Pillars - Earth I
4.Earth Crisis - Destroy The Machines
5.Earth Rot - Black Tides Of Obscurity

Thrash Effect

Like my other genre-based lists, this exists purely for my own organizational purposes and not to provide a definitive statement about or guidebook to the thrash genre. I've folded some speed metal and other occasional outliers into this list, maybe a few not-so-thrash albums by otherwise-thrash bands, since they're close enough and I wasn't going to make a separate list.

1.Slayer - Reign In Blood
2.Gama Bomb - Citizen Brain
3.Cross Examination - Menace II Sobriety
4.Slayer - Seasons In The Abyss
5.Metallica - Ride The Lightning
