2.AC/DC - If You Want Blood You've Got It

3.Arch Enemy - Black Earth

4.At The Gates - Gardens Of Grief

5.Azaghal - Omega

Music I listen to in an English-styled park in Warsaw, where nature grew in such a way that a controlled wilderness was achieved. Some songs match certain seasons better than others! This music goes well…

3.Moonsorrow - Kivenkantaja

4.Wintersun - Wintersun

5.Summoning - Stronghold

Note: Tool intentionally ommitted because they don't consider themselves metal. Otherwise you'd see their first 4 albums in top 25.
