14- Amorphis - Borderland
Amorphis’ output since Eclipse (aka the Tomi Joutsen era) has been remarkably consistent. They've settled on a style and have stuck with it, with minor experimentations here and there. How you would feel...
15- Gruesome - Silent Echoes
Chuck Schuldiner’s legacy and importance to the death metal genre as a whole is not the kind of thing that can be understated. Death released arguably two of the greatest death metal albums of all time in Leprosy and..
16- Propagandhi - At Peace / Dropkick Murphys - For The People
Another double-up, the theme here is punk stalwarts still making great music. I'm actually a relative newcomer to the work of Propagandhi, delving into their discography when I...

6. Between the Buried and Me — The Blue Nowhere
I was on vacation, listening to this album and thinking, you know what? I fucking love talking about music, and I love revisiting my favorite albums. Maybe I should combine these things. And here we are.

17- Larkin Poe - Bloom #musicksky
I've mentioned the blues-rock-Americana sister act Larkin Poe a few times in previous lists, but I'm a goddamn huge fan. Rebecca and Megan Lovell are consummate guitarists (the latter playing the lap steel, the former playing...

18- Now I've Done It - An Ill Guest
The album art, created by the inimitable Eliran Kantor, was what first caught my eye (pun somewhat intended) on this, the first album from Now I've Done It, an avant-garde band comprised of a current...
19- Angelspit - Red End
I've been a fan of Angelspit’s dark cyberpunk ever since I saw their album Hideous And Perfect mentioned on a list by the late, great Corey Mitchell back in 2009. I've been adding their albums to my year-end lists...

20- Morke - To Carry On / Skjolden - Insouciant Metaphysical Grandeur
Here we are, the first entry on the list and I'm already doubling up. The theme here is Black Metal Albums That Are Obsequiae Adjacent Because I Love Obsequiae. Morke is...

1: The IVth Crusade
You never forget your first. Okay, technically Those Once Lost was my first Bolt Thrower album (thank you, Last.fm), but with only a couple listens there, it wasn't until I started listening to The IVth Crusade that the band...
2: Those Once Loyal
Imagine, if you will, a band making an album that was so good, so perfect, that they decide if their next release isn't better then they're not going to release it. And then they scrap a full album, because it's not better, and...

3: In Battle There Is No Law!
Fucking hell, what a debut. This is obviously the rawest, most primitive Bolt Thrower album in their discography, as vicious and violent as the iconic album art. (I once had a woman mistake my In Battle shirt for the...
4: Realm Of Chaos (Slaves To Darkness)
You're goddamn right I'm using the original artwork for this one, Earache Records be damned. There's an argument to be made that this is Bolt Thrower's most brutal album, faster and thrashier than the albums...
5: ...For Victory
There is a not-insignificant portion of the Bolt Thrower fanbase that views ...For Victory as the quintessential Bolt Thrower album and the peak of their discography. As you may surmise by the album's ranking, I don't fully agree...
