A rather good year for metal I would say, not excellent though.

Back at the time this year marked the start of my five-year pause with metal. Thus I found out about most of the albums I list only several years later.

As to the initial list of this thread, big thumbs up for The Fat of the Land, such a banger.

My favourite albums from 1997 are:

1. Saturnus - Paradise Belongs To You
2. Morgion - Among Majestic Ruin
3. Empyrium - Songs Of Moors And Misty Fields
4. October Tide - Rain Without End
5. Dimmu Borgir - Enthrone Darkness Triumphant
6. Night In Gales - Towards The Twilight
7. Darkseed - Spellcraft
8. Haggard - And Thou Shalt Trust... The Seer
9. In Flames - Whoracle
10. The Gathering - Nighttime Birds
11. Theory In Practice - Third Eye Function
12. Emperor - Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk
13. Misfits - Static Age
14. Lake of Tears - A Crimson Cosmos  
15. Gates of Ishtar - The Dawn of Flames
