For me, there are no others, because this album was my gateway into the realm of Opeth.

Hollenthon-With the Vilest of Worms to Dwell
Summoning-Let Mortal heroes Sing Your Fame
Opeth-BWP
Borknagar-Empiricism
Devin Townsend-Terria
Gorguts-From Wisdom to Hate
Weltmacht- The Call to Battle
Averse Sefira- Battle's Clarion
Winds-Of entity and Mind (EP, but fucking great)
Children of Bodom- Follow the Reaper
Diabolical Masquerade- Death's Design

 

[Till Fjalls]

Mikael, The Enslaved was a 2000 release, and the Vintersorg was as well! So they are no-gos.

Unless you meant the new enslaved, Monumension.

 

[mindflesh]

I'd add:
Marduk - La Grande Danse Macabre
Amon Amarth - The Crusher
Entombed - Morning Star
Tool - Lateralus

i agree with those ones (well i like them, radiohead, well its live but i love the way he loses his mind in Idioteque and loses it comppletely, and as for Idlewild, i got that about 2 years ago i think, that used to be my fav album for awhile, before i knew about opeth and well metal)

anyway to add to that:

Kataotnia - LFDGD
Lacuna Coil - unleashed memories
Kiss The Blade - Heartbaet Amplified

 

[benny]

I will get the new The Black League in about 3-5 days, so I will be able to make my final list after I listen to that a few thousand times

 

[Mikael is God]

doh oh well i thought that enslaved / vintersorg were 2001..... i still havent heard the newest enslaved

 

[MacMoney]

Throw in Darkthrone - Plaguewielder

The new Arch Enemy album doesn't compare to their older albums. It's just that poor. Weaker guitarwork and a poor vocalist.

You can check short samples there. Very impressive! Even better than Mardraum...

 

[Demonspell]

I'm definitely going to do a year end survey in Songs To Watch within the next two weeks...
