This is my personal selection of albums (with specific songs) that you'd like to play in your next metal party.
The songs are sorted so the more powerful and energetic songs are equally spread all along the list, except the last songs, which are softer than average.

I'm currently working in this list (well... in my spare time), so it's not the final one.

1.Unexpect - Fables Of The Sleepless Empire

2.Korpiklaani - Karkelo

3.Solefald - Norrøn Livskunst

4.Mastodon - Crack The Skye

5.Kvelertak - Blodtørst

Howzat, two of my all-time fav releases recently turned 10 and 5 years old. They should get anniversary reissues. Make those great bands some more dough, among other things...

Numbers 10 and 28 on this list are so good, I can't really pick favourite songs. Could say that Sons' opening number is a bit forgettable, and The Difference Engine's fourth track might be just a bit too weird for me. Still, I score 'em at around 98 point two. Best possible result, eh?

1.Fatboy Slim - Halfway between the Gutter and the Stars

2.Queens Of The Stone Age - Rated R

3.Offspring - Conspiracy of One

4.Eidolon - Nightmare World

5.Muse - Origin of Symmetry
