Insomnium | Winter's Gate would make a great addition here I feel, especially as you've got Insomnium's 'In The Groves Of Death' and Edge of Sanity's 'Crimson'.

Awesome list

I forgot about Winter's Gate, thanks for reminding me of that one, I've added it now

It was such a close call between "2112" and "Child In Time" as for me, they're both up there with my favorite songs of all time. "Hearts Alive" also could arguably be higher up the list, and its the best track in Mastodon's entire discography imo.

Gillan's high notes are insane(ly good) And yeah, Hearts Alive is definitely up there in the top but for me the whole Leviathan album is the best of their discography (and probably my all time favourite album)

Not forgetting "Child In Time" also contains one of the greatest guitar solos of all time, from none other than the great Ritchie Blackmore
