1	10,000 Days (2006) more music like this by Tool In an age where major labels dictate that new releases from bands appear on record store shelves every 18 months or so, rare is the artist given freedom and ability to reflect and stretch out to explore creative evolution and release music as an artist, rather than the prepackaged predictability of an entertainer. Thankfully, Tool has somehow ... see all copies from $7.80! new only from $16.67!
2	Sehnsucht (1998) more music like this by Rammstein Rammstein's second album, Sehnsucht, finds the German prog metal band making a great leap forward. While the group still sounds a little unfocused in places, their blend of industrial noise, grinding metal guitars, and operatic vocals is staggeringly powerful. No other European metal band sounds like Rammstein, nor does any American metal group -- ... see all copies from $4.03! new only from $13.42!
3	Worlds Collide (2007) more music like this by Apocalyptica Originally four cellists, now three cellists and a drummer, Finnish quartet Apocalyptica have worked hard to become more than a mere covers band since their 1996 debut, Apocalyptica Plays Metallica by Four Cellos. Their early material established them as astute interpreters of the thrash metal genre, finding a gold mine in the tension between ... see all copies from $12.34! new only from $12.34!
4	Are You Dead Yet? (2005) more music like this by Children of Bodom With the presence of brutal riffs and keyboards, Finland's Children of Bodom sounds at times like Fear Factory fronted by a hardcore screamer, especially on their 2005 release, Are You Dead Yet? The group's fifth studio album (which was co-produced by Children of Bodom and Mikko Karmila, the chap who produced their previous outing, 2003's Hate ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $13.78!
5	Dance of Death (2003) more music like this by Iron Maiden Drummer Nicko McBrain kicks off Iron Maiden's 13th studio record with an uncharacteristic one-two-three-four before launching into the rousing opener, "Wildest Dreams." This bar-band sensibility permeates Dance of Death's first three refreshing yet unremarkable tracks before shifting into the more familiar fantasy rock of previous releases. That ... see all copies from $3.95! new only from $11.80!
6	Fire Down Under (1981) more music like this by Riot Unquestionably the best offering from New York's Riot, Fire Down Under is considered by many to be an early-'80s metal classic. After two marginally successful LPs, 1977's Rock City and 1979's Narita, bandleader Mark Reale worked out all the kinks in Riot's membership and musical delivery, and the results are dramatic. The songs are tight and ... see all copies from $7.93! new only from $10.64!
7	Mutter (2001) more music like this by Rammstein see all copies from $6.43! new only from $13.42!
8	Frances the Mute (2005) more music like this by The Mars Volta The Mars Volta's 2003 debut was a dense, experimental run-on sentence of science fiction and musical exploration. But though it ultimately rewarded patience with stretches of unbuckled rock & roll genius, De-Loused in the Comatorium was also a maze-like and obtuse migraine dealer that made people frustrated and crazy. For 2005's Frances the Mute, ... see all copies from $3.98! new only from $12.66!
9	Dark Passion Play (2007) more music like this by Nightwish Judging from the way Dark Passion Play starts out, it's understandable to assume that it's some sort of opera aria. But hold tight, dear friends, because from out of nowhere metal guitar riffs come swooping in. That's Nightwish for ya -- a Finnish quintet that had been walking the line between symphonic and metallic for ten years by the time of ... see all copies from $17.94! new only from $17.94!
10	Karmacode (2006) more music like this by Lacuna Coil Many fans of prog metal would like to believe that once upon a time, the dramatic mood and operatic self-importance that define the genre came as a natural result of the music's compositional influences, and only recently has the over-the-top tone taken priority over musical quality. Whether or not such a magical time ever really existed, Lacuna ... see all copies from $5.60! new only from $14.22!
11 view cover	Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (2002) more music like this by Dream Theater The godfathers of progressive metal have been amazing and delighting their dedicated fans since the late '80s. Throughout their impressive and unlikely career they have continued to push themselves and the genre into new and challenging directions. While arguably hitting their peak with 1994's Awake, the band continued to grow with each new ... see all copies from $9.70! new only from $21.94!
12 view cover	De-Loused in the Comatorium (2003) more music like this by The Mars Volta When Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Cedric Bixler-Zavala silenced At the Drive-In in the midst of its popular emergence, there was no question that the two artists would return with new music as exciting as their previous band. However, there was plenty of discussion in corners and over drinks about what , exactly, that music would sound like. It was ... see all copies from $5.25! new only from $8.00!
13 view cover	Images and Words (1992) more music like this by Dream Theater Dream Theater's first album with new vocalist James LaBrie is an excellent mix of progressive metal stylings with heartfelt vocals and thought-provoking lyrics. Guitarist John Petrucci, bassist John Myung, and drummer Mike Portnoy, all of whom trained at Berklee, show impressive ability on their respective instruments. Kevin Moore's keyboards ... see all copies from $8.27! new only from $8.27!
14 view cover	Rosenrot (2005) more music like this by Rammstein To date, Rammstein haven't been able to equal the excitement and power of their breakthrough 1998 album, Sehnsucht, and while Rosenrot suffers that fate, there's an EP's worth of brilliance and one track that towers above them all. Just as exciting as their massive hit "Du Hast," "Te Quiero Puta!" is a glorious blend of the group's usual Teutonic ... see all copies from $7.35! new only from $7.35!
15 view cover	Völkerball (2007) more music like this by Rammstein It should surprise absolutely no one, but Rammstein's CD/DVD live set Volkerball is one for the fan, but what a gluttonous and delicious feast of industrial Teutonic metal they're in for. First off, there's the visual element on the DVD. Not that Rammstein's studio albums are lacking but you have to see their intense stage show to truly appreciate ... see all copies from $17.37! new only from $17.37!
16 view cover	Paradise Lost (2007) more music like this by Symphony X see all copies from $9.87! new only from $15.70!
17 view cover	Reise, Reise (2004) more music like this by Rammstein Taking three years to release their follow-up to Mutter is a good idea since Reise, Reise is more of the same -- the same grit, the same growl, and the same dramatic, orchestra choruses. There's a bit more ingenuity in the production and a little more focus in the songs but not enough for the nonfaithful to pick up on. Unfortunately the lead ... see all copies from $13.15! new only from $13.15!
18 view cover	Divine Conspiracy (2007) more music like this by Epica After two albums of generally finely crafted symphonic metal, Dutch ensemble Epica decided to indulge their orchestral kinks to the fullest with 2005's metal-free The Score: An Epic Journey, but they are back to their usual, genre-meshing stomping grounds with 2007's The Divine Conspiracy, which many fans will likely consider their proper third ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $14.22!
19 view cover	Century Child (2002) more music like this by Nightwish Possibly the biggest success story in the history of Finnish heavy metal, Nightwish celebrated their second chart-topping album in their homeland with 2002's Century Child, which eventually collected numerous awards and went double platinum (60,000 units in Finland) within a year of release. The group's fourth LP overall, Century Child wisely ... see all copies from $8.99! new only from $14.47!
20 view cover	Elect the Dead (2007) more music like this by Serj Tankian So, the inevitable finally happened. Those who have followed the life of System of a Down and its lead vocalist and lyricist Serj Tankian have wondered for years when he would finally issue his debut offering. Tankian, whose political and aesthetic activity keep him wildly busy, has become an identity that cannot be contained by the trappings of a ... see all copies from $16.27! new only from $16.27!
21 view cover	Individual Thought Patterns (1993) more music like this by Death Chuck Schuldiner puts even more emphasis on the guitar harmonies, with the help of King Diamond guitarist Andy LaRocque. Bassist Steve DiGiorgio treats his instrument more like a third guitar, making for some unique ensemble interplay. Individual Thought Patterns cemented Death's reputation as not only one of death metal's founders, but also one ... see all copies from $11.34! new only from $11.34!
22 view cover	Unleashed Memories (2001) more music like this by Lacuna Coil Lacuna Coil's second full-length album successfully combines the backbone of metal with the ethereal trappings of goth. While vocalist Cristina Scabbia gives the band their sonic calling card, additional vocals from the group's male singer, Andrea Ferro, add tonal variety and balance. Rarely succumbing to heavy-handedness, Lacuna Coil escapes the ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $14.22!
23 view cover	Scenes from a Memory (1999) more music like this by Dream Theater Dream Theater is almost aggressively out of fashion in 1999. Few bands subscribe to their dense blend of progressive rock and post-Halen metal, and those that do usually don't have major-label contracts, the way Dream Theater does. There was a point where they tried to straighten out their sound somewhat, as they flirted with straight-ahead, laid ... see all copies from $16.52! new only from $16.52!
24 view cover	Plays Metallica by Four Cellos (1996) more music like this by Apocalyptica The premise of a cello-playing four piece (from Finland, no less) performing the music of Metallica may seem outrageous at first, but much of the metal gods' repertoire translates surprisingly well into this "classical" reading. And while Apocalyptica chooses to concentrate on more recent hits like "Enter Sandman," "Sad But True" and "Wherever I ... see all copies from $5.65! new only from $10.29!
25 view cover	The Damnation Game (1995) more music like this by Symphony X After reasonable success from their debut, Symphony X, the New Jersey-based band returned with The Damnation Game and a new vocalist in Russell Allen. Similar in style to Ronnie James Dio, at this early part of his career he still sounds very much like Mark Boals and Jeff Scott Soto, both from Yngwie Malmsteen's band. The production value is ... see all copies from $13.22! new only from $14.95!
