| Crysis' Flawless Metal Albums
Sometimes a band just gets everything right.... | | 1 |  | Agalloch
Pale Folklore
Even if I try to be as picky as I can, I can't find anything bad about this album. A perfect fusion of Black Metal and Folk Metal make one of my favorite albums ever, it's not so much music as it is an experience. | | 2 |  | Swallow The Sun
The Morning Never Came
This amazing album put Finland's Swallow The Sun on the map as one of the best modern Doom Metal bands. The create a shockingly heavy sound, but still manage to fit in clean vocals. | | 3 |  | Burzum
Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
This is a trip into the mind of a madman. Burzum's brainchild Varg Vikernes may be a lunatic in real life, but he created a Black Metal masterpiece with this one, the atmosphere he creates is suffocating. | | 4 |  | Dissection
Storm Of The Lights Bane
Black Metal + Melodic riffs = Genius. Dissection managed to carve their names into Metal history with only 3 albums, this one being easily their best. Sadly, Dissection will never write another song. RIC Jon. | | 5 |  | Ulver
Bergtatt
Another great combination of Folk Metal and Black Metal, except this one shows the rawness of the Black Metal influences much more. Certainly Ulver's best work, a flawless album indeed. | | 6 |  | Wintersun
Wintersun
Jari really hit the nail on the head with this album. Especially since this is a debut album, it shocked many people with it's sophistication, but then again, the former Ensiferum guitarist/vocalist knows exactly what he's doing. | | 7 |  | Children Of Bodom
Follow The Reaper
The pinnacle album of the wildly popular Children Of Bodom, this album shows probably some of their best guitar work, and contains some of their most well known songs. | | 8 |  | Emperor
Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk
Some Emperor fan's may debate whether this album or "In The Nightside Eclipse" is Emperor's best, but my vote goes to Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk. Surrounding the guitars and absolutely jaw-dropping drumming is the backbone of this album, the great keyboard and synth work. Black Metal at it's finest here. | | 9 |  | Opeth
Blackwater Park
It's Opeth. I should end my explanation there but I won't. Opeth can go from great clean vocals and acoustic guitar right down to death metal screams and thundering guitars and drums without you even noticing the transition. It all just melts together. | | 10 |  | Dark Tranquillity
The Gallery
Probably the best Melodic Death Metal album ever released, The Gallery is the best album of the "big 3" Gothenburg albums released in 1995 (the others being "Slaughter Of The Soul" and "The Jester Race"). Every song on here contains insane riffing and Stanne's vocals are simply flawless. | |

06.30.07 | Awesome, 1,4,6,7,9, and 10 ftw, though ive never heard the others
I prefer HCDR and hatebreeder to FTR though, and i think i prefer Fiction to gallery.
| blackmilk
06.30.07 | Haha, Dissection are not genius. | Crysis
06.30.07 | ..... no comment to that one. | Bfhurricane
06.30.07 | Excellent list, what bodominflames said^^
Id have "Waking the Fallen" by Avenged Sevenfold on here | Crysis
06.30.07 | I've heard "Unholy Confessions" off of that CD and its pretty good, but i'm not much of an Avenged Sevenfold fan, too mainstream for me. | MeowMeow
06.30.07 | I've heard all but the first 2 and they're all quite flawed. | slep
06.30.07 | 9 has many flaws. | BallsToTheWall
06.30.07 | i agree with 2,3,4,8,10 these cds rock | Cravinov13
06.30.07 | damn straight. | freudianslipknot
06.30.07 | superb - this list has so much good about it - add a post-metal album (say something from , neurosis, isis, cult of luna or pelican and this is a list I could have made myself). | TheHamburgerman
06.30.07 | quote: "9 has many flaws."
^^ Actually it hasn't... | Crysis
06.30.07 | freudianslipknot:
I've actually never heard any of those bands you said, I've heard that Isis is good but I've never checked them out, I think i will. | Dethtrasher
06.30.07 | Dude, this list is flawless. | Altmer
06.30.07 | aye to 7 through 10 | jrowa001
06.30.07 | all these albums imo are great, most are flawless. 2, 5 and 9 are my fav off this. i still need to get my hands on 10 | LifeInABox
07.26.07 | I want 8. 7 isn't flawless, but it's quite good. | Ominous Inane
07.26.07 | Cool list dude, i don't like 6 and 7 but the rest are indeed flawless
i really want that swallow the sun cd, it sounds ace! |
