1001 Metal Albums you should hear before you die

108. Cain's Dinasty - Madmen, Witches and Vampires - (2010)

And while we're on the subject of foreign metal, those Spaniards sure know how to headbang! I've been impressed with Tierra Santa, Saratoga and these guys. I mean, come on: how can you not love an album with a song called "**** you forever!"

109. Nightscape - Symphony of the Night - (2005)

Amazingly, given the power of their debut, this Swedish power metal band only seem to have released the one album, and with that being ten years ago now I guess we're unlikely to hear from them again. Still, you owe it to yourself to give this one a listen.

111. Azaello - Megadream - (2013)

Featured on my Progressive Rock section, yes, but they're really more prog metal, and there's something here for everyone. Check it out!

107. Indian - From All Purity (2014)

This is some great modern doom, specializing in drones and feedback riddled riffs. The vocalist would steal the show with his somewhat unique style of screaming, but the band is so tight that they all keep themselves in the spotlight. Metal is dead you say? You're not looking hard enough, or possibly at all. Listen to this ****.

Almost every album you've posted has a completely hideous cover.

I was about to say the same thing. I really can't decide which album cover is the worst.

112. Iron Maiden - Brave New World - (2000)

The triumphant return of Bruce Dickinson heralded the end of two awful albums, banished the memory of Blaze Bayley to the dark mists of history and returned Maiden to the band they were always meant to be. From the first few chords you get a feeling that this is the real Iron Maiden, and they've not looked back since. If you lost your love for Maiden over the course of The X-Factor and Virtual XI, this is the one to restore it for you and get rid of that nasty taste in your mouth.

First album has been reviewed in my new journal here
Powerslave - Iron Maiden

Batty has advocated the idea of allowing members to suggest albums I should review in the journal out of order; ones that are seen perhaps as more important than maybe the next one in line? If anyone wants to do that, post here or in my journal but I'm going to restrict this to one album per member per time, in other words if you have three albums you'd like to me to review off the list, then you can suggest one now, another when someone else has had their say, and so on. Probably nobody will bother so it won't matter, but it's a good idea of Batty's so I'm just putting it out there.
