A little list series where I list my top 20 favorite metal albums every year starting from the year I was born in.

2014 and the first half of the 2010's was the time of black metal revival, a great time for the genre, along with Doom and Progressive metal the first half of the last decade was going strong for the more extreme side of metal.

1.Septicflesh - Titan

2.Insomnium - Shadows Of The Dying Sun

3.Schammasch - Contradiction

4.Shylmagoghnar - Emergence

5.Saor - Aura

This is a list of all the death metal albums I have listened to that I thought were at all worth remembering. Like my other genre lists, this is just a record of my own listening experience that I use for personal organization, not a definitive account of the best or all of the death metal out there; there will probably be albums or bands that are not death metal in the strictest sense. You'll find some OSDM, melodeath, tech death, death-doom, maybe a bit of deathcore, I don't know. Maybe some non-death metal albums by death metal bands that I put in here just because.

1.Death - The Sound Of Perseverance

2.Death - Symbolic

3.At The Gates - With Fear I Kiss The Burning Darkness

4.At The Gates - Slaughter Of The Soul

5.Amon Amarth - With Oden On Our Side

This list came into being after reading RaduP's Getting Into: Negura Bunget article. I have always wondered why people are so in awe of Om and disregard Vîrstele Pămîntului. Since this is not the only band where I tend to prefer another album than what many perceive as the climax of a band. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

1.Abigor - Totschläger (A Saintslayer's Songbook)

2.Agalloch - Pale Folklore

3.Amon Amarth - Versus The World

4.Bethlehem - Bethlehem
