Metal community, all subgenres welcome.

It only seemed fitting to have Lemmy himself as the icon.

I don't recall having seen this pop up in this community. Give a rundown of your favorite albums. Top slot, top 3, top 5, 10... whatever's easiest to you since I know it can be tough to narrow things down to a specific degree.

It'll be interesting to see where everyone is coming from in this regard. Could create for a good opportunity to discuss albums, find people with similar tastes, argue that a different album from someone's catalog is better, etc.

I'll throw mine down in a separate comment once I get it figured out.

I'm assuming we're just talking about metal albums, given the community.

Here's my top 3:

  1. Trees of Eternity - Hour of the Nightingale

  2. Draconian - Under a Godless Veil

  3. Swallow the Sun - When a Shadow is Forced into the Light

Doom and related genres have always been my fave when it comes to metal, but I used to also listen to a lot of thrash and power metal. These days it's pretty much all stuff that is doom or goth-ish.

Yeah, that Trees of Eternity album is excellent. I tend to prefer the Doom:VS stuff a little bit over the Draconian stuff, but both are great.
