1	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 $12.36! new only from $14.25!
2	Comalies (2002) more music like this by Lacuna Coil Lacuna Coil's third full-length disc will not disappoint fans of the group's stately goth pop; led by the excellent tag-team vocals of Cristina Scabbia and (male vocalist) Andrea Ferro, the Italian sextet continues to produce top-notch atmospheric rock that defies easy categorization. Although there are occasional lapses into conservative ... see all copies from $7.94! new only from $14.03!
3	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 $14.61! new only from $16.85!
4	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 $12.58! new only from $14.22!
5	Oceanborn (1998) more music like this by Nightwish First of all, Oceanborn is a huge step when thinking about Nightwish's debut album Angels Fall First. All the elements of folk music and ambience are forgotten, and instead Nightwish have concentrated to using Tarja Turunen's wide voice and playing pure heavy metal. Or, well, another describing term could be opera metal. Drama and a variety of ... see all copies from $16.63! new only from $16.63!
6	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!
7	Once [Bonus Tracks] (2004) more music like this by Nightwish see all copies from $14.61! new only from $16.85!
8	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!
9	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!
10	End of an Era (2006) more music like this by Nightwish There's an element of Zen that's involved when listening to Nightwish -- you don't question the pageantry or analyze the music; you just let go and enjoy the experience. Perhaps it's no surprise then that End of an Era beings with "Red Warrior" from The Last Samurai booming over arena speakers while thousands of fans roar their approval. It's a ... see all copies from $9.57! new only from $14.56!

12 view cover	Nymphetamine (2004) more music like this by Cradle of Filth When was the last time you saw anyone in corpse paint smile? It's further proof of their flair for showmanship that two of the "slick perverted wraiths" in Cradle of Filth's 2004 publicity shot are flashing the pearly whites. The longstanding English group was never devoted purely to the black metal aesthetic; Dani Filth and his minions flaunted ... see all copies from $13.79! new only from $16.23!
13 view cover	Khronos 666 (2000) more music like this by Rotting Christ After two albums which saw them exploring the more commercial aspects of their sound (without ever going so far as to lose their way, mind you), Greece's favorite sons Rotting Christ decided to scale back a bit and resurrect the ferocious brutality of their black metal origins for 2000's Khronos. In a welcome reverse shift in direction, the entire ... see all copies from $6.09! new only from $9.05!
14 view cover	Highest Hopes: The Best of Nightwish (2005) more music like this by Nightwish Released at a time when Nightwish's future appeared uncertain because of the shocking departure of charismatic frontwoman and de facto band calling card Tarja Turunen, Highest Hopes is a comprehensive greatest-hits collection spanning the chart-topping Finnish pop-metal act's entire first decade. Summarized in one convenient CD at last, the 16 ... see all copies from $12.58! new only from $14.03!
15 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!
16 view cover	Deliverance (2002) more music like this by Opeth 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 $8.50! new only from $15.65!
17 view cover	Vinland Saga (2005) more music like this by Leave's Eyes see all copies from $12.30! new only from $14.72!
18 view cover	Wishmaster (2000) more music like this by Nightwish Oceanborn wasn't just a hit in Finland, it also opened new doors for Nightwish abroad. So naturally, the pressure to come up with a comparable sophomore album was enormous. Rarely does a band fulfill the demands of a second album successfully, and Nightwish is no exception. Even though Wishmaster is mainly targeted to radio and pop audiences, it ... see all copies from $17.25! new only from $17.25!
19 view cover	The Curse [Bonus DVD] (2005) more music like this by Atreyu see all copies from $5.58! new only from $13.15!
20 view cover	Still Life (1999) more music like this by Opeth 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 $14.22! new only from $14.22!
21 view cover	Viides Luku: Havitetty (2007) more music like this by Moonsorrow see all copies from $8.67! new only from $13.15!
22 view cover	Night Eternal (2008) more music like this by Moonspell Once upon a time, goth rock meant a bunch of vampire-looking people playing new wave-y music. However, the times they are a changin', as goth metal has arguably become the most common and popular goth-related music circa the early 21st century. And the proof is in the emergence of such acts as Moonspell. A certified sensation back home in Portugal ... see all copies from $13.22! new only from $15.28!

25 view cover	Anphisbena (2005) more music like this by Opera IX When female lead vocalist Cadaveria left Opera IX and formed her own band (also called Cadaveria), some fans of the Italian outfit were worried. Cadaveria did her part to make Opera IX one of the more unusual bands in symphonic black metal, which -- like the death metal/black metal field in general -- is very male-dominated. There have been other ... see all copies from $10.54! new only from $13.08!
