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

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.S.V.E.S.T. - Veritas Diaboli Manet In Aeternum: Le Diable Est Ma Raison
2.Sabachthani - Miserable Endings
3.Sabaoth - Les Illuminations
4.Sabaton - Carolus Rex
5.Sabbat - Dreamweaver

Best 16 comeback albums after a breakup

Comebacks are greeted with excitement and trepidation. Albums released after a band break-up can either send bands into the heavenly stratosphere or the basements of hell. I'm compiling the former. To qualify for the list a band has to have officially broken up, regrouped and released an album of new original material. Releases after a period of studio inactivity or a string of weaker albums don't count so no Death Magnetic, Worship Music, Formation of Damnation, Brave New World or Angel of Retribution. My list, my rules okay?

1.Faith No More - Sol Invictus
2.Septicflesh - Communion
3.Celtic Frost - Monotheist
4.Heaven And Hell - The Devil You Know
5.At The Gates - At War With Reality

Wo Bored Humans Wagen - Jahr 2013 In Musik (20.04.14.)

---10.04.2014.
Many moons later (twelve of them, in fact), I'm still disappointed with 2013.

It wasn't as terrible as it looked back nearly a year ago (previous update was March 10, 2013 (coincidence, btw)), but not a single thing to really blow me away or make me feel I found something fresh.

So it goes.

1.Satan - Life Sentence
2.Avatarium - Avatarium
3.Caladan Brood - Echoes Of Battle
4.Coprolalia Intoxication - Level 7
5.Death Dealer - War Master
