Best Release of 2003

[Minion520]

Although they are two completely different albums in every aspect, my vote is between Opeth - Damnation and Dimmu Borgir Death Cult Armageddon based on shear enjoyability.

i apologize for the misnomer, it was an accident the correct title is Cosmic Keys to my Creation and Times

 

[Dem0n0fTheFall4]

A Perfect Circle - Thirteenth Step

 

[ChrisEmerson]

Moonsorrow - Kivenkantaja

 

[crimsonfloyd]

A Silver Mount Zion- Several Rusted Satalites Gather and Sing

 

[Dan]

Green Carnation - A Blessing in Disguise

 

[Caelum Adustum]

Moonsorrow - Kivenkantaja

Oh yes, that is one brilliant album!

In addition to that I'll say
Enslaved - Below the Lights
Finntroll - Visor Om Slutet
Falkenbach - Ok Nefna Tysvar Ty
Ásmegin - Hin Vordende Sod Og Sø
Windir - Likferd
and of course Opeth

The new Einherjer, Månegarm, and Naglfar CDs are most excellent as well

For me, I can't really decide btween;

Also, Mithras - Worlds Beyond The Veil is growing on me, tis really, REALLY good, worth anyone checking out.
