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

1994 was pretty great year for metal black metal was in full swing with all its drama, death metal still going strong and a really good year for doom metal.

This is an old list I made on my previous account. I've update it a little bit.
My introduction text back then said: "A list of 90s albums I enjoyed throughout the decade, some I discovered later."
I kept the same title.

1.Marillion - Brave

2.Dream Theater - Awake

3.Fates Warning - A Pleasant Shade Of Gray

4.Enchant - Break

5.Marillion - Holidays In Eden

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/

Thought I ought to have at least one little list here, so in a rare display of lack of creativity, here's a bunch of 9s and 10s that will likely never get old, though I might. "666" is obviously only a theoretical upper limit.

2.King Crimson - Red

3.Cult Of Luna - Vertikal

4.Amorphis - Tales From The Thousand Lakes

5.Die Apokalyptischen Reiter - All You Need Is Love
