the-great-cold-distance · July 1st, 2009, 07:03 PM

Yeah, I know...I considered it, but the album after that one ruined that band for me :P

Kushantaiidan · July 10th, 2009, 06:15 AM

Deathspell Omega - Fas
Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago
Oceansize - Everyone In Position
Enslaved - Eld
Ocean Machine - Biomech
Yes - Relayer
Ulver - Nattens Madrigal
Abigor - Nachthymnen
Summoning - Dol Goldir

Weakling - Dead As Dreams
King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King
King Diamond - Abigail

Yup, that's ten. No seriously, that's ten albums right there. They're good too, all ten of them.

The next funeral album was dissapointing indeed.

Kush, things have changed indeed when a signed up and devoted Emperor/Opeth fanatic can't get one of their albums in his list!

Hail The Wizard! · July 11th, 2009, 09:07 AM

electric wizard - dopethrone
electric wizard - come my fanatics
metallica - master of puppets
still life - opeth
clutch - clutch
killswitch engage - end of heartache
death - symbolic
bongzilla - gateway
tool - lateralus
down - over the under

Juho M · August 7th, 2009, 04:30 AM

Off the top of my head I think these would be the most sonically and emotionally intense albums for me:

1. Opeth - My Arms, Your Hearse
2. Opeth - Morningrise
3. Nile - In Their Darkened Shrines
4. Isis - Oceanic
5. Jesu - Conqueror
6. Agalloch - The Mantle
7. Suffocation - Pierced from Within
8. Neurosis - Times of Grace
9. Primordial - The Gathering Wilderness
10. Enslaved - Below the Lights (this is a tough call between BtL, Darkthrone's Under a Funeral Moon and Death's Symbolic)

Svartwerk · August 7th, 2009, 05:01 AM

Something like this...

01 Satyricon - Dark Medieval Times (the only album that stays there)
02 Satyricon - Nemesis Divina
03 Emperor - Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk
04 Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows - Songs from the Inverted Womb
05 Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane
06 Immortal - Sons of Northern Darkness
07 Borknagar - The Archaic Course
08 Arcturus - Sideshow Symphonies
09 Unexpect - In a Flesh Aquarium
10 Taake - Hordalands Doedskvad

One's that missed out today but could re-enter the charts tomorrow...
Shining - V - Halmstad
Evereve - Seasons
Malice Mizer - Merveilles
Virgin Black - Elegant...and Dying
Dismal Euphony - Autumn Leaves
Covenant - Northern Light
Samael - Eternal
The Kovenant - Nexus Polaris
Ulver - Nattens Madrigal

Malice Mizer - Merveilles

Holy crap! I remember listening to these guys ages ago. There are a few good bands if you can drag yourself through the countless piles of shit in the Visual Kei genre.

Svartwerk · August 7th, 2009, 07:46 AM

Hoorah, someone who has an idea on visual kei... and yes it requires a lot of sifting. I think Malice Mizer were the most well known, shame they disbanded although Mana went and formed Moi Dix Mois, sort of a goth speed metal sort of thing and Gackt is like some sort of pop god over in Japan. Dir En Grey seem to be getting a lot of recognition within the international market...

beast from the east · August 7th, 2009, 09:04 AM

This is tough, but here goes (no particular order):

Agalloch - The Mantle
Opeth - Blackwater Park
Pink Floyd - Meddle
Ulver - Shadows of the Sun
Enslaved - Ruun
Novembers Doom - The Pale Haunt Departure
Drudkh - Blood In Our Wells
Biosphere - Substrata
Rush - Moving Pictures
Scorpions - Blackout

I know I'm missing something...

Wow! I haven't listened to Malice Mizer for ages!! I can't really take Gackt seriously after hearing his solo stuff, pretty funny...I found Merveilles pretty hard to listen to but Bel-Air was an awesome song.

gileslol · August 9th, 2009, 08:26 AM

DHG · August 9th, 2009, 11:59 AM

Arcturus - The Sham Mirrors
Deathspell Omega - Fas
DHG - 666 International
Fleurety - Min Tid Skal Komme
King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King
Manes - Vilosophe
Opeth - Blackwater Park
Porcupine Tree - In Absentia
Samael - Eternal
Ulver - Blood Inside

Yep, I think that's it.

Amon Amarth - Once Sent From The Golden Hall

Bathory - Blood Fire Death
Opeth - Deliverance
Sigur Ros - Takk
Solstafir - Masterpiece of Bitterness
Blind Guardian - Nightfall on Middle Earth
In Flames - Clayman
Psycroptic - The Isle of Disenchantment

In no particular order, and it would probably change a little month by month...

That might be something to do with the label they are on " Roadrunner "

Indeed, Ghost Reveries wasn't really up to par and although Watershed was good for a few listens it isn't an album that stays with you I guess.
