This list isn't really in a set order except the first five, which really were just far and away my top 5. Then everything up to Aspera (or Above Symmetry as they are now called...I will keep it as Aspera for the list purposes tho, since that is who they were when the album was released) is the next tier. Everything after that is kinda in shambles. I tried to keep it to top 25 like my other lists, but there were some on the fringe of making this list, so feel free to check out my album votes for the near misses.

1.Alcest - Écailles De Lune

2.In Mourning - Monolith

3.Barren Earth - Curse Of The Red River

This was probably the second-best decade in music for me (with the first being 2000s). There were albums that changed my perspective on how to perceive the world and helped me dive deeper into this neverending journey of discovering music. It always felt like there is a unique world hidden in every album and that makes me want to discover as much as possible to broaden my horizons.

1.TesseracT - Altered State

2.Behemoth - The Satanist

3.Wintersun - Time I

4.Septicflesh - The Great Mass

5.Myrath - Legacy
