| Overlooked Metal Albums
It's a shame some of these albums don't get nearly enough attention. | | 1 | | Dark Tranquillity
The Mind's I
This album is overshadowed by DT's previous release, "The Gallery". This album contains some classic tracks such as "Hedon" and the mind-blowing "Insanity's Crescendo". | | 2 |  | Burzum
Det Som Engang Var
Also overshadowed by Burzum's classic album "Hvis Lyset Tar Oss", this album has a surprising number of awesome riffs such as the opening of "Lost Wisdom" of the melodies toward the end of "Key To The Gate". | | 3 |  | Insomnium
In The Halls Of Awaiting
This is an album most Insomnium fan's don't own, but it is one of their best. This album also contains what I think is Insomnium's finest hour, the 11 minute epic of "In The Halls Of Awaiting". | | 4 |  | Satyricon
The Shadowthrone
The middle album between the classic "Dark Medieval Times" and "Nemesis Divina", this album is great, classic Satyricon work, with awesome tracks like "Hvite Krists Dod" and "Woods To Eternity". | | 5 |  | Vinterland
Welcome My Last Chapter
It surprises me that not many people have heard of this band. It's like a darker, more somber form of Dissection, and also a lot heavier. "Our Dawn Of Glory" is absolutely furious and "Wings Of Sorrow" is a great closing track. | | 6 |  | Skyfire
Mind Revolution
This is Melodic Death Metal with a heavy symphonic element, with lots of keyboard. They still manage to create a really heavy album, and songs like "Colliding In Mind" showcase that perfectly. | | 7 |  | Beyond The Embrace
Against The Elements
This relatively unknown band fuses Thrash and Melodic Death Metal perfectly, with great vocals backing constantly changing riffing.Plus, the instrumentals they put forth are probably the best I've ever heard. | | 8 | | Paysage d'Hiver
Paysage d'Hiver
A 1 man French Black Metal band, he creates some of the most ear-shattering Black Metal I've heard yet, but even manages to throw in a Violin! Certainly worth looking into, the only downside is that the songs are ridiculously long. | | 9 |  | Mors Principium Est
The Unborn
Intense Melodic Death Metal, this band's albums are hard to come by, but once you hear this you will love it. The opening track "Pure" is a lesson in how to make a great Melodic Death song. | | 10 |  | Furze
UTD
I doubt anyone has heard of this band, but this is a 1 man Norwegian Black Metal act which writes some of the most bizarre and mind-boggling songs I've heard. You either love it or hate it, but I find it twisted, sick, and great. | |

08.03.07 | Nothing Burzum related will ever be underrated, sorry. | Crysis
08.03.07 | Well you may think differently, but "Hvis Lyset Tar Oss" is talked about WAY more than "Det Som Engang Var". | blackmilk
08.03.07 | that paysage album isn't underrated. | Crysis
08.03.07 | Meh, ya your right, it gets good ratings, but its certainly not as popular as it deserves to be. | Tyler
08.03.07 | Hvis Lyset is talked about more because it's better, not because Det Som is underrated. | Bfhurricane
08.03.07 | I must admit I have overlooked all of these... | BallsToTheWall
08.03.07 | I agree det som is underrated,never heard 3,4's good and heard parts of 5 and 6. | SynGates
08.03.07 | I actually got 3 before their other two later ones. It is very very good and yes, everyone who likes their other two albums should get it. now. | Cravinov13
08.03.07 | Furze is pretty awesome if I remember correctly. All for the most part I agree but 7 is pretty poor. | TheStarclassicTreatment
08.03.07 | Satyricon are terriible. | StreetlightRock
08.03.07 | Hm, I reckon Damage Done is the more underrated DT album. Skyfire are ok, but nothing amazing. I agree with Beyond the Embrace. Satyricon tho... ew. | Yazz_Flute
08.03.07 | I almost got two, but then itunes got rid of that album, and f.y.e. where i live doesnt have insomnium =( their other two albums are absolutely amazing though, and unlike most ATWW is my personal favorite. | ValiumMan
08.03.07 | #2 ain't underrated. Period.
Also, Furze literally means "farts" (as in multiple farts) in German. Awesome, huh? | Crysis
08.03.07 | lol I didn't know that, that's pretty funny. | Aeksis8745
08.16.07 | Hell yeah to number 7 man, I can't get that album out of my CD player. I really want to get their other one Insect Song. | Knuckles
08.24.07 | 2 and 4 are both amazing. |
