Albums Which Surprised Me
Sometimes you really don't expect some CD's to be as good as they turn out. |
| 1 |  | Dissection
Reinkaos
All I heard about this album is how Dissection changed so much, how their sound sucked now and how much of a mediocre album this was. Wrong. This is an amazing Melodic Death album, with sweet riffs and solos galore. I love this album. |
| 2 |  | Dark Tranquillity
The Gallery
I bought this album as an afterthought, I didn't go to the CD store intending to buy this, but it turns out that "The Gallery" is my favorite Dark Tranquillity album of all time. A classic Melodic Death album. |
| 3 |  | Agalloch
Pale Folklore
I bought all the Agalloch albums in reverse order of when they were released. "Ashes Against The Grain" and "The Mantle" were really good, but a little bit too dragging and boring for my liking. "Pale Folklore" shows Agalloch's ability to execute a flawless combination of Black Metal and Folk Metal, creating one of the most atmospheric albums I've ever heard. |
| 4 |  | Mirrorthrone
Carriers Of Dust
Ummmm.... who had ever heard of Mirrorthrone before this album was released? I know I didn't, and the epic metal onslaught showcased on this album goes untouched in terms of its pure genius by anything I've heard from other Metal bands. |
| 5 |  | Swallow The Sun
The Morning Never Came
Doom Metal is a strange genre indeed. I had never been exposed to this type of metal before I heard Swallow The Sun's brilliant debut "The Morning Never Came". Crushing riffs and vocals strung out over very long tracks make a suffocating environment which I absolutely love. |
