I'll check out those Dawn records.
As for SotLB, it looks like a difference in perspective (in which my perspective is right and yours is wrong
)

I began to enjoy it a lot more once I realized how much Crimson Glory there was in some of those melodies.

=6) Scarlet Evil Witching Black by Necromantia
Turn from the light and live for eternity...
"Listen to Necromantia's SEWB and then Dimmu's PEM. They're pretty similar aesthetically. The former has a more necrotic, buzzy production; it's still suffocated by manic drumming, features clean vocals(Spiritdance, and that interlude), swirling dramatic keyboards and guitar(okay, bass) pyrotechnics. The only difference is that PEM is more overproduced but lets the guitars breathe in between the blasting sections with more accent on harmony and dynamics. It is brought down by processed vocals, though, and some industrial segments, but that's a minor flaw as I see it." - @DarkBliss

he used to constantly call people out for holding double standards, liking certain albums over others due to their reputation rather than any musical differences between them etc. i wouldn't be surprised if he used the phrase 'in crowd' at some point. he was a lot more emotional about it than you though ha

4) Thousand Swords by Graveland

From my math Graveland beats it by as many as 11 points, depending on how I-TEND-TO-DIE's vote was weighed.

3) Bergtatt by Ulver
She saw the hall of shadows, so cold and ever-blue...
"I find Garm's clean vocals here to be very ethereal. I know Ulver get a lot of shit, but I've always enjoyed this album and Nattens Madrigal. I used to listen to this a lot on my drive to and from University which was full of winding country roads surrounded by trees." - @Phylactery

thousand swords got 60 and symbolic 59.5. i-tend-to-die's vote was worth 5.5 for the record
i could start posting the points as well as rankings if it'll help avoid confusion.

2) Storm of the Light's Bane by Dissection
Can't resist the night's sweet blood...
"You know, I've come across many BM fans who believe that Dissection was just generic melodeath posing as black metal (I know, hilarious) but the thing that makes the band so great is the fact that it's not just the sound but also the melodies that make the music sound the way it does. The Somberlain and Storm of the Light's Bane have this artistically-crafted and unique kind of malevolence to them which is why Dissection is considered so influential. I don't even know what the hell they meant with that statement. While being much more melodic compared to other BM bands, they still had that rough production quality that gave it its coldness." - @Talos of Atmora
