The Best Metal Albums* From A To # (M)

This list is meant to be an extensive, but by no means exhaustive, collection of the greatest (modern) metal albums and eps. Running the gamut from avant-garde to trve norweigan black metal. *As someone who is young in age, my tastes tend to revolve around the period of the 80s to the present.* Although certain metal albums from before will certainly be featured, the period of the 60s-70s will be under-represented. I refer you to this excellent list to gain a better appreciation for some of the best metal from that period: https://rateyourmusic.com/list/freis/martin_popoffs_the_top_500_heavy_metal_albums_of_all_time/

1.Macabre - Murder Metal
2.Macabre Omen - Gods Of War - At War
3.Macbeth - Romantic Tragedy's Crescendo
4.Machinae Supremacy - Overworld
5.Machine Head - The Blackening

10 Albums That Changed My View Of Metal

These are 10 albums that really blew me away and either broke down all of my notions of what I though a metal album could sound like, or really opened my eyes to new sub-genres. You'll notice most albums are from after 2006, that's because it wasn't really until 2007 or so that I started listening to metal.

1.Between The Buried And Me - Colors
2.The Ocean - Precambrian
3.Warning - Watching From A Distance
4.Mirrorthrone - Gangrene
5.Equilibrium - Sagas
