1.Septicflesh - Titan
2.Insomnium - Shadows Of The Dying Sun
3.Schammasch - Contradiction
4.Shylmagoghnar - Emergence

pandrstudios Metal History

These are MY Top 250 Albums that are featured on Metal Storm in chronological order to celebrate 50 Years of Metal.

1.Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
2.Deep Purple - In Rock
3.Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV
4.Uriah Heep - Demons And Wizards
5.Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies

That Cold Black Magic, By Glenn Killer And His Thorchestra

As is the case with my other lists, this is for my own organizational purposes and is designed purely to help me keep track of all the many black metal bands and albums that I enjoy, since I can't keep all of this information in my head. It has no other benefit whatsoever and will likely result in tantrums should anyone else see it. I'm aware that I haven't listened to every black metal album that I should have. I only went down to the 6s on this list, so it's possible that I have listened to your favorite black metal album that you desperately need to suggest and I thought it was terrible. There are a lot of heinously incompetent black metal bands out there.

1.Sigh - Imaginary Sonicscape
2.Sigh - Graveward
3.Dissection - Storm Of The Light's Bane
4.Sigh - Heir To Despair
5.The Meads Of Asphodel - The Murder Of Jesus The Jew

2014 Suggestions For The Eclectic Metalhead

Suggestions For The Eclectic Metalhead - 2014 Edition. I spent over half of 2014 NOT absorbing new metal, and thus spent the rest of the year catching up. I'm pretty certain I missed many great albums, as well as missing a few entire genres, so know that this isn't an exhaustive list (and why it is only 30 instead of 50). These albums all easily rate an 8 or higher and are my favorite and most recommended albums. If your tastes are equally varied, please recommend me your favorites in return!

1.Evenoire - Herons
2.Evergrey - Hymns For The Broken
3.Wayfarer - Children Of The Iron Age
4.November-7 - Awaraxid 7mg
5.Sivyj Yar - From The Dead Villages' Darkness

Top 20 albums of 2014

Great year, especially when it comes to melodic stuff. So glad that At the Gates and Empyrium delivered something solid. Even happier that Vanhelga really has become a "Lifelover 2", only darker. Although I am dissapointed that Deathstars didn't release a #1 album.

1.Vanhelga - Längtan
2.Harakiri For The Sky - Aokigahara
3.Twilight Force - Tales Of Ancient Prophecies
4.Duskmourn - Legends
5.Saor - Aura
