This reminds me that @True Belief will be here in less than an hour and he still hasn't posted his list. tut tut. Nice list with many of my favourites appearing. Here are my comments on selected entries that intrigue me: Dimmu Borgir so high surprises a bit, although I had them in my Honourable Mentions section. Akercocke so high interests me as well and I need to give them another listen. They never hooked me first time around when they were 'big'. The Meads... is a huge surprise! I have the split they did with Mayhem and it's pretty good but very weird. Top 10 as well! I also have 'Exuming the Grave of Yeshua' and I think I played it twice and it's been on the shelf for the last fifteen years. I'll give it another spin. Never heard of Darkness in Blood but they sound suitably vampiric. Very surprised to see you rate 'Ravishing Grimness' as the best Darkthrone album! I'll have to give that another listen as well - I think it was around that album that I finally lost interest in the band, so I won't have heard it since 2000 probably! It's certainly not in my collection. And Arcturus - great choice. I thought about including them in my Honourable Mentions but they just didn't have that added meaning for me that would have got them in there. Great band though.

A couple of bands I've never even heard of, that's what I like about these lists, a nice list @Vampyrique

Brilliant

Great list ^
