Hello everybody, I've been following the forum for a while and now I decided to join.
My tastes in metal are pretty diverse (I'm not a fan of a single genre, the songwriting is the only thing that makes me appreciate a band rather than another) so I believe a list of my favorite albums will be more exemplifying than just naming a few bands.
In no particular order:
Nevermore - Dreaming Neon Black
Borknagar - Epic
Borknagar - Urd
Opeth - Orchid
Anathema - A Natural Disaster (technically not metal, but still a masterpiece like every single album of the band)
Novembre - Arte Novecento
Dimmu Borgir - Stormblast (original one)
Children Of Bodom - Hatebreeder
Sonata Arctica - Ecliptica
Dark Tranquillity - The Gallery
Dark Tranquillity - Projector
In Flames - Whoracle
Cradle Of Filth - Cruelty And The Beast
Cradle Of Filth - Dusk And Her Embrace
Actually the only three bands I've been following and appreciating from the start until modern days are Anathema (their whole work is just awesome), Borknagar (same as Anathema), Nevermore (followed and loved them until The Obsidian Conspiracy, RIP Dane) and In Flames (lost interest after Sounds of a Playground Fading).
So, here it is! Thank you all!
