This is not a bad idea for a list at all. Off the top of my head I'd suggest Obscurus Advocam - Verbia Daemonicus, Agents Of Oblivion - Agents Of Oblivion, and Head Control System - Murder Nature. I'm a bit lazy to provide links right now, will do if you tell me you're interested. They're all on MS anyway.

you can first add the album to you collection and then, when making/editing your list, import from you collection. That's the only way I can think of now.

You should probably kill yourself immediately because everyday after this will be a severe disappointment compared to the joy you're feeling now.

I shalt not kill myself until I finally find a way to listen to Deathday 666, the greatest one-man band to ever walk on this planet.

Pretty sure they did release an album before the great Elvenefris. Apparently it's that unmemorable.

The Oath's debut album. Released this year and already split up.
Also, I was gonna do this list, but I'm glad someone beat me to it, then I'm not the one that has to update it.

Well technically it wasn't the same band, it was called Appawling Spawn and they played straightforward death metal without vedic influences. It just happened to have te same guys on it.

Hmm, maybe I'm wrong, but a "one-album metal wonder" seems like it should be about bands that made great first albums and then either never produced again or lost their touch with music afterwards (at least according to a wide audience). Some people, for example, think Aevangelist and Fen really dropped the ball since their widely acclaimed debuts, so those were the kind of bands I would expect on a list like this. I find the list name kind of deceptive in that sense.
