Starting to think you guys are crazy, Ares Kingdom Incdeniary is a pretty solid death/thrash release, but that amazing? Processions debut album? Their EP was way better, and pretty much same track listing.
Consider myself a pretty big fan of Unchain the Wolves, and Excoriate's On Pesilent Winds, but not one vote? What's with this beastial bull getting recommended? Pretty same-y style music in my opinion, especially the amount of clones.
Ogre Plague of the Planet is a pretty standout release, sure it's only 5 years but whatever.
Orodruin's Epicurean Mass is a pretty great doom album, surely up for consideration.
Revelation's Release and both Warning albums should be shoe-ins imo.
Sabbat's The Dwelling is a few years older than '03 but not a lot of talk about that great album..the River's In Situ imo is a great release, but I think i'm alone on that.
Sauron Thrash Assault is probably the best 80's thrash record since 1990
Solstice New Dark Age, pretty good but '99
Twisted Tower Dire's The Curse of the Twisted Tower is great, '99 as well
Valkyrie Man of Two Visions '08, great rock/heavy/doom metal album
Nothing from the Hellas black metal scene? Surely Zemial, Nocternity or Stutthoff qualify
I definitely think Atlantean Kodex's The Golden Bough is a great album and will stand the test of time as well
