This is a list of my 20 favorite BM albums ever. Apparently Mystifier and Moonblood are too kvlt to be on Metal Storm at this time, but both are incredibly fucking awesome. Moonblood played Epic Black Metal and are the undisputed gods of horrible lo-fi production, with one of their rehearsals rumored to have even been recorded in a bathroom. Mystifier is another quite good BM band, who are from South America and play in a similar vein to that of Sarcófago, old Beherit, and old Sepultura, and is some of the most evil material I have listened to in a long time.

1.Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss

2.Bathory - Blood Fire Death

3.Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas

4.Blasphemy - Fallen Angel Of Doom

5.Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger

This is a list of debut albums from 2007-2009 that I believe are the first from bands that will leave a legacy of great albums in their wake. It's a short list, and I chose 2007 because I wanted to pick bands that have had at most only 1 album since the debut.

2.Irminsul - Irminsul

4.Kalisia - Cybion

Not nessecary my current favourites, but these are the albums that had a great impact on me or had opened up new horizons in different sub-genres. Most of these would be pretty recent and mainstream but I only started listening to Metal in 2007 after all. They are in chronological order of which I listened to them through these few years.

1.Within Temptation - The Heart Of Everything

2.Metallica - Ride The Lightning

3.Nightwish - Dark Passion Play

4.To-Mera - Transcendental

5.Kamelot - Ghost Opera

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
