So like albums that have a clear tie between them, were recorded around about the same time and were clearly intended together, as opposed to a sequel coming years after. Some of these have actually been released together, as can be seen here.

That's about all I can think of right now. So feel free to think of some more for me.

This list looks quite complete, at first glance only Nocte Obducta's Nektar Teil I and Nektar Teil II come to my mind.

^ I feel literally ashamed now.
There's most probably no better example of sibling albums than the classics Use Your Illusion I + II.

More true siblings (recorded in one session and sharing the same story):
Satan's Host - Pre-Dating God Part 1 + Part 2
Benighted In Sodom - In Hora Maledictus - Part I + Part II
Solefald - An Icelandic Odyssey (Red For Fire + Black For Death)
Senmuth - too many siblings to get hold of them. Senmuth's discography is one single shameful sibling incest.

Not sure about
Stratovarius - Elements Part I + Part II
Both albums are from 2003 but I will not dig any deeper unless someone is willing to pay me. Just can't stand this band. Sorry.

The fact that I don't know for sure which are supposed to be the three DsO albums in the trilogy is reason enough not to include it

STOP!!! You MUST check out the progressive metal band called Tomorrow's Eve. They have three sibling albums called Mirror of Creation. A severely unfairly underrated band that you will be astonished by and must include these albums in your list. Thanks.

You're missing Old Man Gloom, who released two albums on the same day with the same title and very similar cover artworks. Seven years later I still think that's hilarious.

Blackbraid: Blackbraid I (2022) and Blackbraid II (2023)

are they siblings albums though? By this logic, Led Zeppelin I and LZ II should be here.

Your question is valid. Because these are the first two albums by Blackbraid, the numbering of the albums might not necessarily suggest a concept as siblings albums.

However, the mentioned Leviathan albums by Therion are indeed siblings albums.

This could potentially be another pair:

TesseracT:
Concealing Fate (2010) [EP]
One (2011)

The chronological proximity, the artwork and the fact that the title of the EP is a song on the album may indicate that these are siblings albums.

However, I have not checked literature, interviews etc about this to be completely sure.
