1	Orchid [Bonus Track] (2003) more music like this by Opeth Opeth's debut, Orchid, was quite an audacious release, a far-beyond-epic prog/death monstrosity exuding equal parts beauty and brutality -- an album so brilliant, so navel-gazingly pretentious that, in retrospect, Opeth's future greatness was a foregone conclusion. Fact is, these Swedes -- with the opening cut, "In Mist She Was Standing," ... see all copies from $10.76! new only from $13.70!
2	Animatronics (1999) more music like this by The Kovenant Sporting a retooled lineup and a new name spelling (in order to avoid confusion with the Swedish band Covenant), Kovenant moves toward the '90s mainstream with their sophomore album, Animatronic. While the sound is obviously rooted in the Norwegian black metal scene from which most of the band's members came, the album goes off in several ... see all copies from $6.26! new only from $11.13!
3	Nine Destinies and a Downfall (2007) more music like this by Sirenia see all copies from $14.03! new only from $14.03!
4	Morningrise [Bonus Track] (2003) more music like this by Opeth While they have taken a different approach with each album, Opeth has a very distinct and instantly recognizable sound: somber, mysterious, and very serious. Their style falls at a meeting point between melodic Swedish death metal and '70s progressive rock, though without any of the technical busyness that description might imply. Morningrise is, ... see all copies from $12.52! new only from $13.79!
5	My Arms, Your Hearse [Bonus Tracks] (2003) more music like this by Opeth On their third album -- and first to be released simultaneously in Europe and the U.S. -- Opeth continues to refine their epic, progressive death metal style, still replete with harmonized leads and acoustic passages. My Arms, Your Hearse flows logically from one composition to the next, and the mostly long songs have enough variation in texture ... see all copies from $14.03! new only from $14.03!
6	Clandestine (1991) more music like this by Entombed Entombed's second album, Clandestine, is cut from the same cloth as its predecessor, the epochal Left Hand Path (1990). Released during the formative period of death metal -- that is, the early '90s, when American bands like Obituary, British bands like Carcass, and Swedish bands like Entombed were all flourishing creatively thanks to supportive ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
7	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 $13.71!
8	Stormblast (1996) more music like this by Dimmu Borgir Stormblast, Dimmu Borgir's second full-length album, has all the makings of a future first-tier black metal outfit finding its footing in the misty, cragged mountains of Norway. However, unlike most of its Scandinavian accomplices, Dimmu's sound got progressively more aggressive as its career advanced, making Stormblast a relatively tame entry in ... see all copies from $12.03! new only from $14.03!
9	Chaos Ridden Years: Stockholm Knockout Live (2006) more music like this by Children of Bodom Say what you will about the lyrics, say what you will about heavy metal in particular; one thing that cannot be denied is that Finland's Children of Bodom can play their asses off. This is a band that not only understands but employs the entire history of metal into a bludgeoning but utterly polished and precise attack. Guitarists Alexi Laiho and ... see all copies from $12.45! new only from $15.98!
10	Left Hand Path (1990) more music like this by Entombed With their monumental debut album, Left Hand Path, Entombed crashed through the gates of the international death metal scene and foreshadowed the pivotal role that Scandinavia would soon play in the evolution of the then-burgeoning genre. These Swedes had earlier made ripples throughout the underground with their But Life Goes On demo (1989), as ... see all copies from $8.99! new only from $12.47!
11 view cover	Start From the Dark (2004) more music like this by Europe They're baaack! Nearly a decade-and-a-half has passed since we last heard from one of hair metal's leading bands, Europe, and the group has returned with Start From the Dark. While the group has earned a bit of a bad rap over the years (their keyboard-heavy tale of Armageddon, "The Final Countdown," was voted one of the 'Most Awesomely Bad Songs ... see all copies from $7.90! new only from $7.90!
12 view cover	Ur Jordens Djup (2007) more music like this by Finntroll Finntroll certainly aren't the only Scandinavian black metal/death metal band that has been greatly influenced by Nordic folk music, but they have managed to set themselves apart from many of their peers because of their emphasis on Finnish humppa (as opposed to Swedish or Norwegian folk) and because of all the humor and irony they bring to the ... see all copies from $11.31! new only from $14.22!
13 view cover	Whoracle (1997) more music like this by In Flames A master of progressive death metal or the "Gothenberg sound" practiced by many a Swedish band, In Flames delivers one of its best efforts with 1997's Whoracle. One extremely heavy number after another flows continuously from this record's track list, including standouts like the mind-bending "Gyroscope" and "Morphing Into Primal," just two of the ... see all copies from $12.02! new only from $13.41!
14 view cover	The Varangian Way (2007) more music like this by Turisas Finnish sword-wielding berserkers Turisas cemented their name within the hallowed halls of the Viking metal scene in 2004 with the seminal Battle Metal, creating an entire subgenre fueled by what can only be described as "over the top everything." Churning out records to accompany muted viewings of 300 or the Lord of the Rings trilogy is nothing ... see all copies from $9.57! new only from $14.22!
15 view cover	Hate Crew Deathroll (2003) more music like this by Children of Bodom Four albums in and still whacked on speed, Finnish five-piece Children of Bodom continue with its highly entertaining, giddy, pogo-stick metal on Hate Crew Deathroll. Attitude-wise, CoB has become the Manowar of melodic death metal, willfully leaping off the cliff of over-the-top metaldom (not unlike Swedish supergroup Witchery) -- which is ... see all copies from $12.58! new only from $14.22!
16 view cover	The Dead Eye (2006) more music like this by The Haunted The return of original vocalist Peter Dolving before the Haunted's fourth album, rEVOLVEr, coincided with the respected Swedish metal band's first deliberate effort to break out of their heretofore self-imposed neo-thrash metal boundaries. But for those unadventurous fans who already bristled at that album's tentative forays "out of the box," ... see all copies from $11.16! new only from $12.61!
17 view cover	Nemesis Divina (1997) more music like this by Satyricon Nemesis Divina assures Satyricon a place in the heavy metal history books. This sweeping epic work is quintessential black metal, a seamless marriage of speed and power with intricacy and emotional content. Tempo changes, multiple riffs, and the use of synthesizer and piano create moods ranging from struggle to triumph, from horror to beauty. Not ... see all copies from $10.64! new only from $10.64!
18 view cover	Rom 5:12 (2007) more music like this by Marduk Marduk, who have turned out to be one of black metal's most long-running bands (albeit with quite a few lineup changes along the way), marked their 17th anniversary in 2007. Stylistically, Marduk haven't changed much since their early recordings; play 2007's Rom 5:12 alongside 1992's Dark Endless (their first full-length album), and one won't hear ... see all copies from $10.85! new only from $12.60!
19 view cover	Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia (2001) more music like this by Dimmu Borgir In spite of straying so far from its black metal roots as to almost seem a completely different band at times, Dimmu Borgir still packs a powerful punch on Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia. New guitarist Galder (formerly of Old Man's Child) nicely infuses more traditional metallic mannerisms, but the addition of drummer Nicholas Barker (Cradle of ... see all copies from $12.76! new only from $14.03!
20 view cover	The Haunted Made Me Do It (2000) more music like this by The Haunted With the group's second effort on Earache and after enlisting a new vocalist and drummer, the Haunted rise in status to a role on par with important metal groups such as Entombed, Carcass, and mid-'80s Metallica, carefully balancing the fine line between raw extremity and accessibility. The majority of the 11 songs on The Haunted Made Me Do It ... see all copies from $12.58! new only from $14.22!
21 view cover	Rare Trax (2001) more music like this by Meshuggah As the name implies, Rare Trax is a compilation of hard-to-find tracks from the distant Meshuggah past. Included with a digital reawakening of the band's limited-to-1,000-vinyl-LPs debut (known as Psykisk Testbild even though it was technically eponymous) are demo cuts culled from throughout the band's history. It is interesting how the likes of ... see all copies from $7.48! new only from $10.73!
22 view cover	Latest Version of the Truth (2007) more music like this by Mustasch see all copies from $10.73! new only from $13.71!
23 view cover	Blackwater Park (2001) more music like this by Opeth Not since the release of Tiamat's groundbreaking masterpiece Wildhoney in 1994 had the extreme metal scene witnessed such an overwhelming show of fan enthusiasm and uniform critical praise as that bestowed upon Blackwater Park, the astounding fifth effort from Swedish metal titans Opeth. A work of breathtaking creative breadth, Blackwater Park ... see all copies from $12.50! new only from $14.49!
24 view cover	IX Equilibrium [Bonus Tracks] (2004) more music like this by Emperor Emperor needs little introduction. As one of the leading exponents of the extremely ill-reputed Norwegian black metal scene (known for true-life demonic acts ranging from church burning to outright murder), the group's fearsome reputation -- on and off the stage -- precedes them. And with their third full album, IX Equilibrium, Emperor once again ... see all copies from $12.26! new only from $14.03!
25 view cover	Come Clarity [Bonus DVD] (2006) more music like this by In Flames In Flames' most recent LPs, 2002's Reroute to Remain and 2004's Soundtrack to Your Escape, made them poster boys for the dreaded "evolve or perish" maxim in heavy metal -- a damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't dilemma, where the din unleashed by jilted die-hard fans usually drowns out any positive overtures from both new and faithful supporters. ... see all copies from $12.27! new only from $13.43!
