2. Abruptum - Potestates Apocalypsis

Yep, one of those lists. Everyone has one, so I thought I'd make a list of metal albums I really recommend.

This is not an absolute "best-of" list, for a few reasons:
1) I stick to one…
1. Warning - Watching From A Distance
2. Candlemass - Nightfall
3. Reverend Bizarre - In The Rectory Of The Bizarre Reverend
4. Pagan Altar - The Lords Of Hypocrisy
5. Katatonia - Dance Of December Souls

Right... Let's get this out of the way from the get-go. Alternative metal is hard to define. I guess that comes from it always wanting to experiment, explore and fuse heavy metal with non-metal music…
1. Living Colour - Vivid
2. Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking
3. Faith No More - The Real Thing
4. Godflesh - Streetcleaner
5. L7 - Smell The Magic
