| 5.0 classic |
| Agalloch The Mantle |
| Unrivalled emotion and atmosphere. A perfect album. |
| Akerstache Heritage (Of Love) |
| Amon Amarth Versus the World |
| Amon Amarth Once Sent from the Golden Hall |
| Arnold Schwarzenegger Total Body Workout |
| absolutely stunning. Arnhold barks his way through with such passion and emotion you will be brought to tears while the backing music will have you up on your feet squating along. |
| As I Lay Dying The Powerless Rise |
| Bathory Blood Fire Death |
| For when you want to crush some skulls, grow a beard and act like a neanderthal. |
| Bathory Under the Sign of the Black Mark |
| Cradle of Filth Cruelty and the Beast |
| CoF's greatest acomplishment. The production is a little weak and thin sounding, but that is easily overlooked. |
| Daylight Dies Dismantling Devotion |
| An absolutely, emotionally devastating album. *Dismantling Devotion* may well be the most haunting instrumental I've heard. |
| Dissection Storm of the Light's Bane |
| Dream Theater Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory |
| Godspeed You! Black Emperor F#A# (Infinity) |
| Iron Maiden A Matter of Life and Death |
| My first Iron Maiden album. While not as fast or epic as Maidens previous records, it has a darker tone and much slower pace. |
| Iron Maiden The Number of the Beast |
| Nothing written here will be anything different from what you've read/heard before. Its just a classic. |
| Jeremy Soule Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Soundtrack |
| The title theme is enough for this to earn a 5. A Masterpiece. |
| Moonsorrow V: Havitetty |
| Mundanus Imperium Ode to the Nightsky |
| A stunning 3 song EP that was sadly the bands only foray into Symphonic Black Metal. |
| Obituary Cause of Death |
| Killer, headbanging riffs and an absolutely hateful vocal performance are what stand out with Obituarys Cause of Death. |
| Opeth Damnation |
| Opeth softened up their sound and in doing so created one of their best albums. |
| Opeth Blackwater Park |
| The perfect Opeth album. Seamlessy blends the heavy/light contrast in their music. |
| Opeth My Arms, Your Hearse |
| No amount of words could describe what this album means to me. Its my favourite Opeth, and album of all time and will remain so. |
| Opeth Morningrise |
| Opeth The Candlelight Years |
| Opeths first 3 albums *Orchid* *Morningrise* and *My Arms, Your Hearse* in one compilation. What's not to love? |
| Soundtrack Mass Effect 2 Original Sountrack |
| Mass Effect 2, much like Opeth's *MAYH* is my favourite videogame of all time and will remain so. The soundtrack is flawless and captures the darker tone of ME2 perfectly. |
| The Morningside The Wind, The Trees And The Shadows... |
| Sounding eerily similar to Kataonia's *Brave Muder Day* The Morningside combines its influences and creates an album that trumps and shames Katatonia's release. I'm kidding, but it is an helluvan album. *The Shadows of the Past* may well be a perfect song. |
| Vinterland Welcome My Last Chapter |
| Melodic, cold, lonely. Three words that come to mind when thinking of *Welcome My Last Chapter* |
| Warning Watching from a Distance |
| Just one of the best Doom albums ever released. The titanic vocal perfomance is what really elevates this above its peers. |
