I Nightwish - Once Therion - Lemuria/Sirius B (two albums yes, but they were released together so ) Kamelot - The Black Halo Serenity - Words Untold & Dreams Unlived (tough call between this and Seventh Wonder - Waiting In The Wings) Hmz, all of these are within the last 10 years, with the exception of Night Of The Stormrider...interesting, maybe it signifies a new golden age of metal
In no particular order: Emperor - Anthems to the Welkin At Dusk Iced Earth - The Dark Saga Bal Sagoth - Atlantis Ascendent Symphony X - Paradise Lost Dream Theater - Images And Words Quo Vadis - Defiant Imagination Age of Silence - Accelerator Immortal - Damned In Black Kamelot - Ghost Opera Judas Priest - Painkiller
1. Soilwork- A Predator's Portrait 2. In Flames- Colony 3.Children of Bodom - Hatebreeder 4.Children of Bodom - Follow the Reaper 5. Disarmonia Mundi - Fragments of a DeGeneration 6. In Flames - Whoracle 7. Opeth - Blackwater Park 8. Iced Earth - Something Wicked this way comes 9.Soilwork - Natural Born Chaos 10. Sonata Arctica - Silence
Tough call, I guess for now it would be... 1. Pyramaze - LOTBC (the kings of power metal sonically improve) 2. Van Halen - Van Halen 1 (consider them hard rock, but this one has some metal tones to it) 3. Hibria - Defying The Rules (classic style metal with the right amount of prog & steriods added to it) 4. Communic - Waves Of Visual Decay (the most diverse metal I've heard done by 3-guys...NFW) 5. Pyramaze - MB (kings of power metal) 6. Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime (conceptual metal masterpiece) 7. Tad Morose - Modus Vivendi (thier sweat smells like metal & of course there is Urban-fuckin-Breed) 8. Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time (Adrian Smith shines here...they should let him shine more often) 9. Metallica - Black Album (sellouts here??? nope, this cd is by far thier best) 10. Iron Maiden - Piece Of Mind (my intro to metal & officially made me a life-long metal head, thank you Maiden) hon. ment. Angtoria - God Has A Plan For Us (the "plan" is not a good one...this chick has an amazing voice and they mix my fave genres, metal & classical) ...don't ask me, for some reason I think of these colors when I think of these bands...its a vibe / mood thing.
That's a hard choice: 1. PYRAMAZE - Legend Of The Bone Carver (Muz, I totally agree) 2. ICED EARTH - Days Of Purgatory (actually not a real album, but the old songs with Matt's voice are the best) 3. PYRAMAZE - Melancholy Beast 4. METALLICA - Master Of Puppets (Cliff R.I.P.) 5. MORGANA LEFAY - The Secret Doctrine 6. RUSH - Moving Pictures (Geddy is the ultimative bass player) 7. IN FLAMES - Clayman 8. MERCYFUL FATE - Don't Break The Oath 9. SAVATAGE - Edge Of Thorns (the only album with Criss & Zak!) 10. PANTERA - Vulgar Display Of Power (though I hate the cover) I've got to mention IMMORTAL, that will soon be my no. 1! Thanks for that masterpiece Pyramaze! And I haven't got a Communic album yet, but the songs on myspace are really amazing, so there might be another change soon.
OK I don't know my 10 favorites, so I'll just name 10 albums that are somewhere on the top Pyramaze - Melancholy Beast Pyramaze - Immortal Evergrey - Recreation Day Evergrey - Solitude Dominance Tragedy Symphony X - The Divine Wings of Tragedy Iced Earth - Something Wicken This Way Comes Iced Earth - Horror Show Dream Theater - Scenes From A Memory Communic - Payment of Existence Amon Amarth - With Oden On Our Side

Thanks Olddoggie for starting this thread! I'm now going to check out all the stuff I don't know yet... and as everyone is talking about Urban breed right now, I thought I could start with Tad Morose. I already listened to the short bloodbound-samples that BurtOfferings posted, but didn't listen close enough. As soon as I heard "Anubis" of Modus Vivendi, wow, I was infected with the Urban-virus! Up to now I wanted to hear Matt or a completely unknown vocalist on the next album, but now I guess Urban would perfectly fit as well. He's got a great range and emotion in his voice, really great! And as Pyramaze make a great singer shine even more - in my opinion Lance and Matt did their best jobs ever with Pyramaze - I guess it would be very interesting to hear Urban!
