Come on, let's try this one again!
My top ten as of now (no specific order.. that's too tough):
- nightingale - invisible (awesome and jolly progrock)
- kalmah - they will return (ofc)
- agalloch - the mantle ("cabin in the woods"-athmosphere and tons of depth)
- kroda - cry to me, river (ukrainian folk/black winnage)
- edge of sanity - crimson (40 minute melodic death epic)
- nile - annihilation of the wicked (best tech death I know of imo)
- myrkgrav - trollskau, skrømt og kølabrenning (norwegian folkmetal)
- dan swanö - moontower (the man is a god, what more can be said..)
- deathspell omega - si monumentum requires, circumspice (ace french bm)
- primordial - the gathering wilderness (pagan and irish!)
Worthy mentions (this isn't cheating is it? ):
nest - trail of the unwary
green carnation - the acoustic verses
peste noire - panegyrique de la degenerescence
catamenia - chaos born
drudkh - autumn aurora
battleheart - s/t
turisas - battle metal
ensiferum - iron
opeth - blackwater park
moonsorrow - verisakeet
Your turn..
