Also, Sylosis, Be'lakor, Uneven Structure, Diablo Swing Orchestra, Periphery (marginally), In Mourning, Riverside, Ørkenkjøtt...perhaps Amorphis if you're into melodic black (or however you might define it  )
Didn't add all of them, but I DID add Uneven Structure, Diablo Swing Orchestra and In Mourning (which was already in this list a while ago though). Still need to check out the others.

I'd have Diablo Swing Orchestra in the top 5
nice list anyway .
Finally added it.
Written by Alex Lemon on 19.01.2013 at 21:38
Some i think are missing are; Amorphis - The Karelian Isthmus, Anaal Nathrakh - The Codex Necro, Ancient Wisdom - For Snow..., At The Gates - The Red In The Sky Is Ours, Cloak Of Altering - The Night Comes Illuminated..., Darkspace - I, De Magia Veterum - Spikes Through Eyes, Diablo Swing Orchestra - Butcher's Ballroom..... I won't go through them all but there's a few
Well, Darkspace got added a few weeks ago, while I just added DSO.

I added both, as you might've expected. Decapitated isn't exactly my kind of thing, but I still like technical death metal a few times a week. DSO's debut was a lot better when I re-listened it. Still don't like the female vocals a lot, since they remind me of Nightwish, but their style sounds very original and overall definitely nice music to listen to. |

Yeah Thumbs up for Decapitated although it's not exactly your favorite I know  But their debut in my opinion is one of the bests. Well I agree that sometimes the female vocals in DSO gets boring, but I think that has nothing to do with Nightwish vocals anyway. But DSO music in their debut is seriously original  |

Thumbs up? I don't see it! 
I'll definitely listen to Decapitated again. I only want to listen to the best of the best some genres have to offer (those genres being thrash and death metal mainly). And DSO and Nightwish are completely different bands, but the vocals still remind me of Nightwish. |

Haha ok can you see them now ?
No way ! I think DSO vocalist can make Tarja seems like an Amateur |

Regarding Nightwish, I liked Tarja a lot back then. When I saw them live in 2008 (in Antwerpen) Anette just joined them and she DID suck big time... her voice was just awful.  |

Not talking about Anneke from The Gathering, she indeed has a truly wonderful voice, one of the best! 
Anette Olzon however is just plain awful live... maybe she improved or something, but that live show made me lose interest in the band completely (along with the disappointing album called Dark Passion Play). |

Don't worry about it.  If you're curious, check out Oceanborn (their best in my opinion), but since it's the genre you don't like at all (symphonic), I doubt it's the right music for you...

Thanks. I added Wilderun a while ago, but I guess you already noticed that. Not exactly my cup of tea, but I still liked it a lot. And yeah, I started off with about 20 albums and since then added 110 albums.

What are you talking about?  This list isn't for EP's, but only for full-length studio albums. I just added Mayhem's debut and Celtic Frost's debut was already added to this list months ago. So there you go. |

Nope... it ain't as good as DMDS at all. It's a good EP though.
I saw some funeral doom... but didn't see Skepticism - Stormcrowfleet or Thergothon - Stream From The Heavens
I'm sad now.

I didn't like Virgin Black a lot (strange, I know, considering I like similar bands a lot), though I listened to their second album, not their debut.
But this is a list for debuts, not sophomore albums. Their debut is quite superior to their second album so you should still check it out. |

I happened to find something that may be to your liking. If you liked Ixion, then I guess you'll find THIS to your liking as well.
Personally, I think they're even better. |

I added both of them. And holy shit, Thergothon is slow even for funeral doom. 
I already added Virgin Black's debut a while ago though. I actually liked it more than their second album, so I agree about that. However, their fourth album might be even better to me, although that could change after more listens. By the way, I obviously know this list is just for debuts...  But ANGEL REAPER recommended me two albums that weren't even debuts, which I don't understand at all since it's pretty obvious this list is solely for full-length studio albums, not EP's or demo's or anything else.

I listened to a couple of songs from Sadael and I really like it. Although I have to disappoint you, because I'll only add bands that are featured on MetalStorm, sorry. But thanks anyway for recommending me this band. |

Yep, you're 100% correct. Although note that I don't really keep up with new releases... I add suggestions of people here (if I like them) or search for myself on MS for music of my favourite genres (I don't think I have to point out those genres, haha). |

Although some of these bands' debuts aren't for me they seem to be appraised. I've starred the albums that I enjoy the most (or enjoyed what I've listen to so far.)
Amiensus, Animals As Leaders*, Beyond Creation*, Beyond Twilight*, Bloodbath*, Cynic, Dissona*, Dragged Into Sunlight*, Hands Of Despair, Headspace, Kalmah, In Vain*, Masterplan*, Necrophagist, Obsidian Kingdom*, Periphery*, Shaolin Death Squad*, Tesseract* (songs from their first EP), Today I Caught The Plague*. |

Well, I don't expect someone to actually like 100% of all the bands that I've listed here, since that's almost impossible. The list could even have way more variety since there's little heavy metal, almost no power metal and no alternative, nu or metal/grindcore. I could just add anything people suggest, but that wouldn't be fun for me and I wouldn't like the list anymore in that case. So yeah, for people who are actually into doom, black, gothic, thrash, progressive and even death metal, this list isn't bad in the slightest, if I say so myself.
Now about your suggestions. I've already listened to Amiensus and I'm definitely going to add it the next time since I really liked it. Bloodbath is already on my to-listen-list a long time, so that one will be added too I think. Same goes for Necrophagist and Obsidian Kingdom. I've listened to Cynic's debut and I totally hated it, sorry. Might give it a second chance because apparantly people think it's amazing. I haven't heard any of the others but I'll check them out. But this could take a while because I'll be very busy next couple of weeks due to graduating, so updates on this list won't be weekly anymore. |

I know what you mean I didn't particularly enjoy Cynic's debut either, but it seems to be an acclaimed masterpiece around here  The one's I've starred you should really have a listen to...although some of those proggy albums are hard nuts to crack. It took me more than a month or so to begin enjoying Dissona and Shaolin. Enjoy it mate  |

Not only around here, but all around the metal and death metal world. And tbh only Focus is worth it, the rest Cynic has done is average at best. |

Lol , then why did you suggest it to me? I only add albums that I like enough, not because other people think it's a masterpiece. Anyway, I'll check those other albums out... eventually (you know by now it could take a while ).

As I said before, I might give it a second chance, but I highly doubt I'll enjoy it. And it's very simple: if I cannot enjoy an album at all, it isn't going to be on this list. |

When I first checked out Cynic I had a listen to their debut and I heard some raw elements that detracted from my enjoyment. When they removed those aspects and came out with Traced In Air, I found their music much more pleasing. So it clearly depends on what your metal background is like; being fond of progressive rather than death means Traced In Air > Focus for me
Not sure if you were implying anything of the sort but I thought I'd clarify my opinion anyhow. |

Finally adding these albums to my to-listen-list, so don't get your hopes up just yet. One (rhetorical) question though: you really love progressive metal, don't you? Always good to have some more progressive bands on this list. I was amazed I didn't know most of these while they all get pretty high to very high ratings on different sites. I also like the fact that most of these are featured as full albums/playlists on Youtube, so it's really easy for me to check them out. I expect to add them in the next few (weeks or) months, although Cynic will not be included... probably. Furthermore, which album do I need to check out from Dissona? I mean, MS has an explanation and all, but Metallum and their bandcamp page say Ten Masks is actually their debut. |

To be honest, I haven't checked out Ten Masks yet and for all I know it could surpass their self-titled. But for the sake of this list consider their 2012 release their debut
Progressive is probably my favourite genre (if you could call it one as it's an amalgamation of several) but there are numerous prog albums that irritate me. It all boils down to the small details and I'm quite meticulous when it comes to filtering out the tracks/albums/bands I dislike, so I'm sure there are many other prog albums that are worthy of this list that I've discarded or not spotted yet
For instance Disperse's debut might be one to consider, but I can't tolerate the vocalist's accent and the frequent use of major scales/chords. |

Okay, I'll go with Dissona - Dissona then. But don't worry about your suggestions, because you gave me plenty music to check out (16 albums that I added to my to-listen-list, in fact). Seeing your votes for some music is rather strange (for example, you gave 4's to two albums of Agalloch and a 5 to Athems to the Welkin At Dusk... as well as two 5's to Opeth albums... I assume black metal isn't your cup of tea), I'd admit that much, although it all comes down to opinions in the end. I'm a bit the same in that regard, for example when I don't like the vocals of music. There's also music being praised a lot that I don't think is all that great, like Weighing Souls With Sand. Can't listen to that kind of music at all. |

That's all I ask. Just be sure -*cough* even if there's nothing wrong with nu metal *cough*- that Machine Head's debut is not and is definitely one of the best debuts in groove metal.
Pentagram's debut is just as good; a nice slab of underrated doom metal.
I'll also keep an eye out for others and keep you posted. |

Hehe, I haven't heard a lot (if any ) groove metal, so I guess I just wait and hear to find out. And I'm quite familiar with doom metal (especially death/doom), so I guess Pentagram will be added anyway. This list is huge, but it still needs to be bigger. You'd know since your list is even longer. |

Well, while we're on that note, check out groove metallers Exhorder. They have a decent debut (Slaughter in the Vatican). |
