Tasty Stuff Not Currently Featured On MS

My other lists:
Most Talented Vocalists In Metal
So I Heard You Like Opeth...

The intent of this list is to expose some lesser known bands and ultimately see them added to MS. Thanks to everyone who has kept this list alive with your comments and encouragement. I hope everyone who's visited it has found at least one band in their regular rotation. I do intend to keep this list alive despite the long periods of inactivity lately.

Notes:
Most of the music you will find here is progressive, avant-garde, or experimental in nature. That being said, there's something here for everyone - just search for your favourite sub-sub-sub-sub-sub...you get it;There are links to yet-to-be-added bands' music in the description below. Please feel free to add bands that require suggestion over here;The list is sorted by rating then alphabetically;I'm slowly replacing the ambiguous concept of stars (★) by rating each band's respective album out of 10 with .25 increments in addition to assigning a heart (❤) to my personal favourites;Bands now featured on Metal Storm will have the original album that I picked at the bottom of the list, with those marked with a ❤ being my favourites.


114 Kassandra | A Prison Called Earth | Aeolist | Akb'al | AnovA | Apple Sauce | Aquae Furtivae | Arida | Atlas | Atrophy | Azgard | Bear Ghost | Ben Simon | Beyond Never | Black Peaks | Blake Hobson | Cast Of Mind | Chiral | Circle Takes Square | Collabiloration | Damien The Cat | Dead Alone | Dead Season | Distress Of Ruin | Dust Sculptures | Dvota | The Echelon Effect | Euglena | Exotic Animal Petting Zoo | E1EN | For The Imperium | Fronteeria | Harkla | Hypermass | I, Valiance | I Shall Move The Earth | Imperial Gates | Ions | Jakub Zytecki | Jun Mitsui | Juvenile Baroque Slaughterhouse | Karhu | Kmac2021 | L'Inverno Della Civetta | Luke Kelly | Manapart | Mammoth | Marching Mind | Marrow Of Earth | Matt Harnett | Melora | Menz | Messenger | Mystic | Nebulous | No Home For Heroes | Orion | Öz Ürügülü | Peculate | Pictura | Pitch Feather | Praetorian | Red Rebel Patriots | Resurrecting Id | Rick Chappell | The Shell Collector | Shrines - Facebook page | Spherian | Stoort Neer | Syncatto | Toska | Toxic Grind Machine | The Ulex | Utopianisti | Volkor X | Von Hertzen Brothers | Walking Across Jupiter | Winter Gate | Zilf |

After Five Years Of Metal: My Top 20 Favorite Albums

The end of 2013 marks the end of the fifth year of my journey into metal. I had listened to a select few songs prior to that, but around five years ago, I started to delve into the genre and I've discovered a lot of great music as a result. Much of my success I owe to Metalstorm for providing such an excellent platform. I want to express my sincere thanks to everyone who keeps this site running. I mostly enjoy the more melodic genres of metal, so don't expect a lot of extreme stuff. Also, please keep in mind that the following list is not a list of what I consider to be the best metal albums of all time or anything like it. It is simply a collection or a countdown of the albums that I have enjoyed the most during my journey so far.

1.Kamelot - The Black Halo
2.Rush - Hemispheres
3.Blind Guardian - Imaginations From The Other Side
4.Crimson Glory - Transcendence
5.Immortal - At The Heart Of Winter
