Atmospheric Metal Highlights

Just same favorites of mine, in honor of the new Falls of Rauros and all the black metal buzz for 2k19. Let me know what I missed and what you'd recommend
1Falls of Rauros
Patterns in Mythology
2Agalloch
Pale Folklore
3Nhor
Within the Darkness Between the Starlight

underrated
4Drudkh
Autumn Aurora

ah...one of the first albums that got me into atmospheric bm that wasn't Agalloch
5Downfall of Nur
Umbras de Barbagia
6Downfall of Gaia
Ethic of Radical Finitude
7In Flames
Whoracle

one of my favorite melodic dm albums
8Coldworld
Melancholie
9Panopticon
Autumn Eternal

although the band have their own styles, I get a similar feeling listening to this as the new Falls of Rauros
10Galar
De Gjenlevende
11Spectral Lore
III
12Mithotyn
In The Sign Of The Ravens
13Darkspace
Dark Space I
14Elder (USA-MA)
Reflections of a Floating World
15Un
Sentiment
16Insomnium
Above the Weeping World

another melodeath favorite along with Whoracle. Perfect album for a late October night
17Der Weg Einer Freiheit
Finisterre

epic
18Saor
Aura
19Caladan Brood
Echoes Of Battle
20Manilla Road
Crystal Logic
21Summoning
Stronghold
22Burzum
Hvis lyset tar oss
23Paysage d'Hiver
Das Tor
24Bathory
Blood Fire Death
25Death
Symbolic
26Kauan
Sorni Nai

the story behind this really added to the atmosphere and intrigue. so good
27Nokturnal Mortum
The Voice of Steel
28Weakling
Dead as Dreams
29Irrwisch
Irrwisch

I had hoped this would get more recognition after it received a review, but still one of the most underrated on the site for the genre
30Moonsorrow
Jumalten aika

the album that finally got me into Moonsorrow
31Walknut
Graveforests And Their Shadows
32Iron Maiden
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
33Obliveon
From This Day Forward
34Ulver
Bergtatt - Et eeventyr i 5 capitler
35Pallbearer
Heartless

still convinced they stole this artwork from botw
36Elderwind
The Colder The Night
37Outer Heaven
Realms Of Eternal Decay
38Gorguts
Colored Sands
39Metallica
Master of Puppets

The documentary Paradise Lost really brought out the atmosphere in this one for me. Welcome Home (Sanitarium) especially
40Entombed
Left Hand Path
41Fauna
Avifauna
42Yellow Eyes
Immersion Trench Reverie

Still need to hear the new one but really dig the atmosphere at times on here
