First 18 in a order as I think its best. Yes in order so my best 18 albums what I can say were best. Really best from all!
Rest in order, just because I am selfish I wanna know what I have listen.

I dont know how to put suxer albums A-Z or Z-A what sucks more, I chose A-Z system so from 369 all was bad, biggest led down is 369 then what I thought was let down but not so bad as that band.

1.Katavasia - Magnus Venator

2.Marko Hietala - Pyre Of The Black Heart

3.Yoth Iria - Under His Sway

4.Trident - Nord

5.Ivanhoe - Blood And Gold
