These are the albums with the highest possible rates in my personal list. Sometimes it was an emotional decision made after one single spin, but mostly these actually are my favorite albums. Also, I was wondering what genre would be most represented.

PS. The image was selected intentionally to piss you off. Still, I do consider Diabolus In Musica to be an almost perfect album

1.1833 AD - My Dark Symphony

2.1914 - The Blind Leading The Blind

3.Akhlys - Melinoë

4.Amorphis - The Karelian Isthmus

5.Amorphis - Tales From The Thousand Lakes

Here are some albums that used to be replayed in my MC-player hundreds of times when I was 16. Some of them keep listening till now, some I won't ever listen to again. Some good, some bad, some rather unexpected, but all of them pirated.

1.Aggressor - Of Long Duration Anguish

2.Amorphis - The Karelian Isthmus

3.Amorphis - Elegy

4.Brutality - When The Sky Turns Black

5.Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss

Here is my suggestion concerning Russian extreme metal bands that are worth listening to. It's mostly black and death metal stuff with some additions of post-black and blackened crust. The bands are listed in alphabetical order. I'm gonna add more nameworthy albums once I find any. Suggestions are welcome in comments, except NSBM and racist bands, and bands that play the sort of parody metal (Infornal Fuckъ, Uratsakidogi, and alike).

1.Accidental Death Benefit - Венец Творения Природы

2.Amber Tears - Revelations Of Renounced

3.Argishrot - Plague From Parallel Worlds

4.Bitter Loss - Oblivion In Ceremonial Void

5.Buicide - Escaping From Yourself
