[Atomic Tide]

1) Bolt Thrower - Those Once Loyal
2) Bruce Dickinson - Tyranny Of Souls
3) Moonsorrow - Verisakeet

Finalized List

1. Hieronymus Bosch - Artificial Emotions
2. Nile - Annihilation of the Wicked
3. Stargazer - The Scream That Tore the Sky
4. Othyrworld - Beyond into the Night of Day
5. Opeth - Ghost Reveries
6. Bolt Thrower - Those Once Loyal
7. !T.O.O.H.! - Order and Punishment
8. Kamelot - The Black Halo
9. Galneryus - Advance to the Fall
10. Adramelch - Broken History

So, I'm going to eat my own words and put Order and Punishment on my list. I've been listening to it way too much lately not to and it's become quite a regular listen. Fantastic album. Surpasses several albums here by a bit and it even managed to knock Slough Feg from the 10th spot.

Also, I moved Bolt Thrower up because it deserves it.

Some controversial picks for sure.

 

[CiG]

Are you the first guy to put Mortuary in Darkness in their main list? Either way, nice to see.

8. Kamelot - The Black Halo

if i listed HMs this would be on there for sure, it has held up remarkably well considering the lack of staying power of a lot of the other power metal i listened to back then

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

1. Sigh - Gallows Gallery (avoid the remaster like the plague)
10. Arcturus - Sideshow Symphonies

I haven't listened to these, and it's unfortunately a bit late to put them into my rotation of yet-to-be-known releases. Call it an oversight on my part. Well, I have listened to Sideshow Symphonies a little bit now that you mentioned it, but not Gallows Gallery. However, since it's still worth listening to for its own sake, which version is the good one? Red or blue?

 

[Satanstoenail]

I still blast this semi-regularly. I was crazy into it back in 05-06. I used to crap on about how it was the best shit ever on here all the time. It's pretty damn good for a Christian metalcore band imo.
