Hope to manage to keep this one update... the 2011 one i still around to be completed.
This is a list about personal taste... I listen to several Metal genres, but not all strike me with the same intensity. This list reflects that intensity, not the intrinsic musical quality of the albums.

1.Xandria - Neverworld's End

2.Eluveitie - Helvetios

3.Alcest - Les Voyages De L'âme

4.Barren Earth - The Devil's Resolve

5.Amberian Dawn - Circus Black
