At times, we neglect a certain genre or overall sound due to a "kick" of something that we greatly enjoy. This is a list that goes in circular motions - as the releases tag-out the current "kick", getting us back into something we know we love, but almost forgot about...then back to a previous one - and so on, and so forth.

1.Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas

2.My Dying Bride - A Line Of Deathless Kings

3.Disgorge - Cranial Impalement

4.Morbid Angel - Domination

5.King Diamond - Them

Autumn is gone, ushering in the mercilessly short days of skin-tenderizing, soul-weakening, weariness-inducing WINTER. Take thyself to a healthy state of depression for sake of joining the spirit instead of being beaten...so here's the soundtrack (with a few oddballs that don't fit the thematic mood, but that's just how I am).

1.My Dying Bride - Turn Loose The Swans

2.Sentenced - Down

3.Mercyful Fate - In The Shadows

4.Arch Enemy - Stigmata

5.Carcass - Heartwork

Sove very good releases have been created without the inclusion of the vocalist that a band is famous for having; the one everyone thinks of when the group is mentioned. Sometimes these bands surprise us with a well-known replacement, a fill-in, or a remaining band member. These releases are more than worthy of listening to, liking, loving, or even (in some cases) proclaiming superiority over the regular line-up. This was put together quick, and will be tweaked and fine-tuned as time goes on.

1.The Crown - Crowned In Terror

2.Bloodbath - Nightmares Made Flesh

3.Judas Priest - Jugulator

4.Pyramaze - Immortal

5.Black Sabbath - Born Again

2.Bell Witch - Self Titled

3.Wintersun - Time I
