Top 10 fav Bands again!

A Line of Deathless Kings was all but a return-to-the-roots album, actually a bit of a step away from it again, singing primarilly clean again etc.

This might not be your strongest case ;)
Like he's done on 3 other albums? It's the same as most bands do these days, make an album with a little bit from every album. Only this album was too much regression for my taste. It doesn't mean there's no good songs there. There's at least 3 songs that I like a lot..but the overall feel of the album is mediocre.
 
In no special order:

Opeth
Katatonia
Ikuinen Kaamos
King Crimson
Porcupine Tree
Agalloch
Bloodnath
Ulver
Anathema
Anekdoten
 
Initially I thought the album was boring as balls, but then after a few 30 listens or so it finally started to grow on me.
 
i don't know if i should be able to put all my favorites in 10 points i will try:
1.Alice in chains/Mad Season
2.Katatonia/October Tide/Diabolical Masquerade/Bloodbath..
3.In Flames/Dimension Zero
4.Dark Tranquillity/Laethora
5.At The Gates/The Haunted/ Disfear/ Great Deciver/Nightrage..
6.Tool/A Perfect Circle
7.Hypocrisy
8.Kyuss
9.Opeth
10.Dismember

Slash only means that i usually love everything that those musician has done
