Kush, things have changed indeed when a signed up and devoted Emperor/Opeth fanatic can't get one of their albums in his list!

 

[Hail The Wizard!]

electric wizard - dopethrone
electric wizard - come my fanatics
metallica - master of puppets
still life - opeth
clutch - clutch
killswitch engage - end of heartache
death - symbolic
bongzilla - gateway
tool - lateralus
down - over the under

 

[Juho M]

Off the top of my head I think these would be the most sonically and emotionally intense albums for me:

1. Opeth - My Arms, Your Hearse
2. Opeth - Morningrise
3. Nile - In Their Darkened Shrines
4. Isis - Oceanic
5. Jesu - Conqueror
6. Agalloch - The Mantle
7. Suffocation - Pierced from Within
8. Neurosis - Times of Grace
9. Primordial - The Gathering Wilderness
10. Enslaved - Below the Lights (this is a tough call between BtL, Darkthrone's Under a Funeral Moon and Death's Symbolic)

 

[Svartwerk]

Something like this...

01 Satyricon - Dark Medieval Times (the only album that stays there)
02 Satyricon - Nemesis Divina
03 Emperor - Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk
04 Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows - Songs from the Inverted Womb
05 Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane
06 Immortal - Sons of Northern Darkness
07 Borknagar - The Archaic Course
08 Arcturus - Sideshow Symphonies
09 Unexpect - In a Flesh Aquarium
10 Taake - Hordalands Doedskvad

One's that missed out today but could re-enter the charts tomorrow...
Shining - V - Halmstad
Evereve - Seasons
Malice Mizer - Merveilles
Virgin Black - Elegant...and Dying
Dismal Euphony - Autumn Leaves
Covenant - Northern Light
Samael - Eternal
The Kovenant - Nexus Polaris
Ulver - Nattens Madrigal

 

[DivineMalice]

Malice Mizer - Merveilles

Holy crap! I remember listening to these guys ages ago. There are a few good bands if you can drag yourself through the countless piles of shit in the Visual Kei genre.

 

[Svartwerk]

Hoorah, someone who has an idea on visual kei... and yes it requires a lot of sifting. I think Malice Mizer were the most well known, shame they disbanded although Mana went and formed Moi Dix Mois, sort of a goth speed metal sort of thing and Gackt is like some sort of pop god over in Japan. Dir En Grey seem to be getting a lot of recognition within the international market...

 

[beast from the east]

This is tough, but here goes (no particular order):

Agalloch - The Mantle
Opeth - Blackwater Park
Pink Floyd - Meddle
Ulver - Shadows of the Sun
Enslaved - Ruun
Novembers Doom - The Pale Haunt Departure
Drudkh - Blood In Our Wells
Biosphere - Substrata
Rush - Moving Pictures
Scorpions - Blackout

I know I'm missing something...
