My Personal Top Female-Fronted Metal Release of 2007:
1. Within Temptation – The Heart of Everything - This album just hooked me from the beginning when I heard it this year. I've been a big fan of Within Temptation's work for awhile and while the new album is no Silent Force, I really dig it. It's heavy, has catchy riffs, and Sharon's amazing vocals.
2. Nightwish – Dark Passion Play
3. Xandria – Salome: The Seventh Veil
4. After Forever – S/T (Special props from me for having Doro as a guest on track 11.
)
5. Epica – The Divine Conspiracy
6. In This Moment – Beautiful Tragedy
7. Echoes of Eternity – The Forgotten Goddess
8. Visions of Atlantis – Trinity
9. Vixen - Live & Learn
10. Shadowside - Theatre of Shadows
11. Imperia – Queen of Light
12. Vainglory – Vainglory
There were a lot of great metal releases this year IMO. I have probably missed a few that should be on the above list (I'm only human
), but I'll try to update it as people mention other albums on this thread.
