Film-Guy

This is a good one. I'd also say Mudvayne - LD 50 and Meshuggah - ObZen

8. Dark Throne - Dark Thrones and Black Flags
9. Sentenced - The Cold White Light & The Funeral Album

11. King Diamond - The Puppetmaster

Those are all I can think of now.

EDIT:

12. Leviathan - Tentacles of Whorror

Spirit - Eluveitie

Slania - Eluveitie

Sagas - Equilibrium

Reroute To Remain - In Flames

A Sense Of Purpose - In Flames

Come Clarity - In Flames

Anyway, I'd have Crimson II

Phoenix Rising by Destroyer 666
Blackwater Park by Opeth
Embodiment by Sculptured
Resurrection Through Carnage by Bloodbath
Traced in Air by Cynic
Demigod by Behemoth

Eschaton by Anaal Nathrakh
To Lay Like Old Ashes by Austere
Machinations of Dementia by Blotted Science
Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice by Deathspell Omega

The lack of Immortal in this thread makes me sad. As for me: *points to his sig*

Decapitated - Winds of Creation

Opeth - Blackwater Park

Moonsorrow - Kivenkantaja

Anaal Nathrakh - The Codex Necro

Melechesh - Emissaries

Primordial - The Gathering Wilderness

St_JimmyX

I think I'll go for Shallow Life by Lacuna Coil even if they changed their genre from goth metal to plain old alternative.

Here's mine in no order except for the first one being the best, of course:

• Back to Times of Splendor - Disillusion
• The Mantle - Agalloch
• Ashes Against the Grain - Agalloch
• The Dreadful Hours - My Dying Bride
• The Sham Mirrors - Arcturus
• To the Nameless Dead - Primordial
• Blackwater Park - Opeth
• Blood Inside - Ulver
• Shadows of the Sun - Ulver
• Mabool - Orphaned Land
• Crimson II - Edge of Sanity
• The Eye of Every Storm - Neurosis
• Panopticon - Isis

and there's probably more but I can't remember them.

Only one I could not find on any of your lists.

The Incident - Porcupine Tree

Anaal Nathrakh - The Codex Necro

I only picked The Codex Necro because it's what got me into their music. I love all their albums though:).

Rikardur

Same. I just don't care about the voice or the lyrics in Nevermore songs.

I actually bought Loomis' solo album. Pretty cool even if it's a little hard to digest in one sitting.
