1	Spiritual Black Dimensions (1999) more music like this by Dimmu Borgir add to wishlist Dimmu Borgir's arrangements continue to increase in complexity and sophistication on Spiritual Black Dimensions, improving on its predecessors and illustrating the band's musical progression. Borknagar vocalist Simon makes a guest appearance. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.57! new only from $14.76!
2	My Arms, Your Hearse [Bonus Tracks] (1998) more music like this by Opeth add to wishlist 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 $13.29! new only from $13.29!
3	With Oden on Our Side (2006) more music like this by Amon Amarth add to wishlist Death metal with some melody? Can it be? As evidenced by Amon Amarth's 2006 release, With Odin on Our Side, this dream seems to be a reality early on. On the album opening "Valhall Awaits Me," singer Johan Hegg's vocal lines aren't merely growled syllables. But don't be worried, longtime Amarth fans, it's not like the Swedish outfit has enlisted ... see all copies from $11.11! new only from $11.11!
4	Stormblast (1996) more music like this by Dimmu Borgir add to wishlist 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 $8.40! new only from $11.39!
5	Hate Crew Deathroll (2003) more music like this by Children of Bodom add to wishlist 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 $1.99! new only from $12.49!
6	Are You Dead Yet? (2005) more music like this by Children of Bodom add to wishlist 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 $6.95! new only from $12.49!
7	IX Equilibrium [Bonus Tracks] (1997) more music like this by Emperor add to wishlist 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 $5.62! new only from $14.22!
8	In Defiance of Existence (2003) more music like this by Old Man's Child add to wishlist Despite traveling even farther away from black metal's roots, Old Man's Child is still one of the consummate death metal acts, mainly because In Defiance of Existence remains as uncompromisingly vicious as it is confidently experimental. Ambient keyboard swells rule the landscape, changing tempos and volume as often as necessary, but not too often ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.79!
9	Watershed (2008) more music like this by Opeth add to wishlist After album (or "observation," as the band likes to call them) number eight -- Ghost Reveries -- Opeth could have very easily coasted, merely rehashing their sound. Instead, they opted to challenge themselves and their listeners, creating an album that can -- at times -- expose its true nature and scope slowly and -- at other times -- be jarring, ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $11.74!
10	Deliverance (2002) more music like this by Opeth add to wishlist Following up a nearly ubiquitous critical smash such as 2000's Blackwater Park might seem like a daunting proposition for most bands, but Sweden's Opeth has made a career out of proving it is not just any other band, wowing observers with its boundless creativity and seemingly effortless brilliance. With producer (and Porcupine Tree leader) Steve ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $7.99!
11	The Curse [Bonus DVD] (2004) more music like this by Atreyu add to wishlist see all copies from $3.47! new only from $10.44!
12	Fate of Norns (2004) more music like this by Amon Amarth add to wishlist Amon Amarth's fifth full-length isn't so different than its 2002 predecessor, The Crusher. Musically, Fate of Norns is Spartan death metal built on epic, anthemic melodies, a perfect example of the Iron Maiden/death metal fusion tagged the "New Wave of Swedish Heavy Metal." And lyrically it's still full of Viking imagery, as songs like "Valkyries ... see all copies from $8.08! new only from $9.82!
13	Ghost Reveries [CD/DVD] (2005) more music like this by Opeth add to wishlist Is Opeth prog or death metal? The CD/DVD package Ghost Reveries doesn't deliver any closer knowledge, but that's not for trying: included on the CD is a darkly seductive bonus track, "Soldier of Fortune," and the DVD trots out the entire album, plus a 40-minute making-of documentary and a director's cut of the video to the sprawling "The Grand ... see all copies from $9.58! new only from $15.26!
14	Crimson Thunder (2002) more music like this by Hammerfall add to wishlist Hammerfall's grandiose heavy metal posturing only narrowly avoids the type of self-parody exhibited by Manowar (for that matter, the bandmembers' outfits are only slightly less ridiculous than Manowar's swords-and-loincloths look). But fans of the genre probably won't care -- the band performs its soaring power metal anthems with spirit, ... see all copies from $9.98! new only from $14.22!
15	Tales From the Thousand Lakes (1994) more music like this by Amorphis add to wishlist Bolder than The Karelian Isthmus and conceptually superior to later attempts at progressive but radio-friendly '90s metal, Tales From the Thousand Lakes might just be Amorphis' best recording. This record is heavy, yet never succumbs to the inane extremes common to the melodic death metal genre. The guitars and drums are in ample supply, and a ... see all copies from $6.97! new only from $13.10!
16	Candlemass [Bonus Tracks] (2006) more music like this by Candlemass add to wishlist The arduous three-year process of reuniting Candlemass' "classic" lineup had all the makings of a psychodrama: one where an innocent wedding-day jam incredibly led to sporadic live performances; then rather noncommittal songwriting sessions that progressed into the recording of actual demos; and after everything fell apart at the last minute due ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
17	Versus the World (2002) more music like this by Amon Amarth add to wishlist With Versus the World, Amon Amarth return with another terrain flattening, Viking-obsessed death metal platter. Vocalist Johan Hegg alternates between a whispery low rumble and an upper-register shriek, both of which are surprisingly able to render the lyrics quite intelligible at times. What's possibly most impressive about Versus the World is ... see all copies from $9.21! new only from $9.21!
18	Natural Born Chaos (2002) more music like this by Soilwork add to wishlist With disc number four, the Swedish band strays from its Scandinavian black metal roots and, consciously or not, managed to tap into the nu-metal breed somewhat. Don't believe it? Compare the title track to anything that Static-X has ever released. The keyboards have moved from lush and atmospheric to punchy and pointed for the most part, and even ... see all copies from $6.22! new only from $14.76!
19	The Crusher (2001) more music like this by Amon Amarth add to wishlist After nearly a decade of recording and a few lineup overhauls, each contributor to Amon Amarth's previous effort, Avenger, stuck around for The Crusher. Original members Johan Hegg (vocals) and Olavi Mikkonen (guitars) are again joined by Fredrik Andersson on drums, Johan Söderberg on guitar, and bassist Ted Lundström. There is nothing new on this ... see all copies from $9.21! new only from $9.21!
20	Once Sent From the Golden Hall (1998) more music like this by Amon Amarth add to wishlist When a band is named after the Mountain of Doom in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, you're pretty much guaranteed epic metal at its most extravagant. But despite their lyrical bent (including Dungeons & Dragons titles like "Ride for Vengeance," "Victorious March," and "The Dragons' Flight Across the Waves"), Sweden's Amon Amarth eschews the expected ... see all copies from $9.21! new only from $9.21!
21	Morningrise [Bonus Track] (1996) more music like this by Opeth add to wishlist 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 $10.54! new only from $10.54!
22	Still Life (1999) more music like this by Opeth add to wishlist Having taken their oppressive black metal symphonies to their furious zenith with their third effort, My Arms, Your Hearse, Sweden's Opeth began deconstructing their sound on 1999's brilliant Still Life. A logical next step in their evolution, the album finds the band re-examining their unlikely fusion of progressive rock and black metal to ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $12.52!
23	The Funeral Album (2005) more music like this by Sentenced add to wishlist Starting in the early '90s, Sentenced was one of the pioneering bands who helped set Finland on the path to a prominent position on the world's heavy metal map. And even if that position would mostly reap benefits for a younger generation of metal acts, Sentenced's popularity seemed to increase steadily through the years, in accordance with their ... see all copies from $6.32! new only from $8.99!
24	Visions (1997) more music like this by Stratovarius add to wishlist Stratovarius experiments with choirs and arrangements for orchestra on its sixth album, Visions, a concept album paying tribute to Nostradamus. It's as ambitious as neoclassical metal gets, and...there are some fine moments on the record... ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.55! new only from $8.55!
25	Isa (2005) more music like this by Enslaved add to wishlist The evolution of black metal remains among the most astonishing and unpredictable in all of rock. How else to describe a musical movement where the same artists whose early efforts comprised some of the most primitive and vile sonic mutations ever concocted could develop into highly skilled songwriters and musicians, capable of works of astounding ... see all copies from $14.97! new only from $14.97!
