2.Ne Obliviscaris - Portal Of I

3.Wintersun - Time I

4.Katatonia - Dead End Kings

5.Meshuggah - Koloss

first of all, this list is not a best or something like that. we use to chat a lot about arts like, music, movies and books. we recommend this things to each other, we have IMDb for movies, Goodreads for books and here Metal Storm for music which is mostly metal we listen...
this list has no particular order, nor any rules and meaning! i just put my recommendation based on our talks there, here, so they can keep track. if it's useful for you, let me know and i'll be glad
oh, one last thing, this list will be updated regularly with more additional notes

1.Adimiron - Timelapse

2.Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain

3.Agalloch - Faustian Echoes

These are the albums that have been burning a hole in my iPod this past year. I have really only created this list so that I can keep track of the albums I have enjoyed in 2012, but if you have any suggestions feel free it send them my way.

The albums with stars (*) next to their ratings, are albums that I am still currently listening to.

1.Godspeed You!Black Emperor - 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!

2.BADBADNOTGOOD - BBNG2

3.Amenra - Mass V

4.Wildernessking - The Writing Of Gods In The Sand

5.Spiritualized - Sweet Heart Sweet Light

It is standard that albums contain several different songs that are separated by distinct track markers. Sometimes, these songs may contribute to one story, which is the case on concept albums. The next, more radical step is to include only one long song on an album, which may be presented as a single track. These one track albums provide a special kind of journey for the listener, demanding full commitment without the help and orientation that the separation in several tracks may have provided.

This list includes albums that consist of only one single song presented in one track.

Please feel free to suggest more one track metal albums.

1.Abruptum - In Umbra Malitae Ambulabo, In Aeternum In Triumpho Tenebrarum

2.Abruptum - Vi Sonus Veris Nigrae Malitiaes

3.Agalloch - Faustian Echoes

4.Alkerdeel - Dyodyo Asema [Collaboration]

5.Bell Witch - Mirror Reaper
