An entirely subjective list of my all-time favourite metal albums, well lets better say albums/genres featured on MS, since not all here is precisely metal.
Objective quality is not a criteria here, just how much I like the album. Ordered by preference, top down.

Great, I couldnt think of a better place to return to. Thanks for keeping me updated.
Observing your taste of metal so far I can imagine you will not have as much fun exploring the remaining 69% of my list as you had with the first 31%. There is a bulk of doom, death doom, gothic and even some power metal classics in my list, which might be not your cup of tea. But maybe one or the other of those albums will surprisingly please you. Let me know in case that turns out to be true.

Yeah I've mainly listened to heavy, thrash, death, and some black.
Doom, gothic, folk, and power are mostly unexplored for me. I'm listening to Moonspell's Wolfheart, which I'm enjoying a lot! Can you recommend anything that sounds similar?

Honestly, not really I am afraid. This album has quite a unique sound if you ask me. You though may want to check out their sophomore album, which is also excellent and a bit similar in sound. Plus, 90s Type O Negative maybe... No more from the top of my head.

I've returned to this list again.
As an update: now I've listened to 50% of these albums (your list hasnt grown by any chance, has it?). Still a lot more gothic and power metal to discover for me. Thanks, by the way, for introducing me to these albums thanks to your list:
Estatic Fear | Somnium Obmutum
My Dying Bride | Turn Loose The Swans
Slayer | Seasons in the Abyss
Iced Earth | Burnt Offerings

Always a joy to find new gems. Rock on

Yes, this list grows from time to time. Basically every now and then when I discover a new gem I have overlooked before and like it so much that it reaches a rank within this list, I extend the list instead of kicking another album out. It just feels too harsh to kick out albums I like so much that they entered this list.

If your point of reference is Dec 21 there has been one major extension on top of that. There was a moment last year when I decided it is time to extend the list beyond 250 ranks. So, this one might have messed up your listening tracks severely.

Wow, if my list has really introduced you to these masterpieces of music I am of course deeply honoured. In this case I can only recomment you to dig some more of the second half of my list, which you have not yet listened to. Have fun at that.

Thanks for caring to comment here, dude. Yes, my taste in metal has always been quite diverse, and at the same time pretty selective.
If it is from the old school, thrash metal will always have a place in my heart.
