The Best Metal Albums* From A To # (J-K)

This list is meant to be an extensive, but by no means exhaustive, collection of the greatest (modern) metal albums and eps. Running the gamut from avant-garde to trve norweigan black metal. *As someone who is young in age, my tastes tend to revolve around the period of the 80s to the present.* Although certain metal albums from before will certainly be featured, the period of the 60s-70s will be under-represented. I refer you to this excellent list to gain a better appreciation for some of the best metal from that period: https://rateyourmusic.com/list/freis/martin_popoffs_the_top_500_heavy_metal_albums_of_all_time/

1.Jacobs Dream - Jacobs Dream
2.Jambinai - Onda
3.James LaBrie - Static Impulse
4.Jason Becker - Perpetual Burn
5.Jassa - Lights in the Howling Wilderness

Brimbly-Brambly Bucka-Bucka Woozle-Wuzzle It's A Doom List.

This is a list of the doom albums I have listened to.

The list starts with a handful of what I'd call my favorite doom albums. The first few of those count among my favorite of all time, with Paranoid, Watching From A Distance, and Черно at present holding a perfect 10. This list does have a cutoff point, stretching from those 10s through some high 9s and all the way down to middling 6s. If I rated it below a 6, it does not appear on this list, and that's because I disliked the album.

Given how much music I listen to and how many lists I have going concurrently, I don't update this as I go; I let albums accumulate for a while and then do periodic overhauls, so the list won't change for months at a time.

Last updated October 17, 2021.

1.Black Sabbath - Paranoid
2.Warning - Watching From A Distance
3.Kypck - Черно
4.Woods Of Ypres - Woods 5: Grey Skies & Electric Light
5.Heaven And Hell - The Devil You Know

Women of Doom

Doom is my favorite sub genre of metal. One of the main reason being is the sheer diversity it offers, not only in terms of styles but also vocally. Female vocalists are no exception and that is what I want to highlight with this list. The few criteria I have set is that it obviously has to be doom metal of some sort and that it vocally is either sole female vocals or at least for the majority of an albums duration, i.e no "beauty and the beast"-style bands.

New bands are of course constantly forming so this is by no means a complete list. Feel free to suggest bands that might be missing.

Enjoy! \m/

1.(Dolch) - Feuer
2.13 - Hollow / Bound
3.A Tree Of Signs - Salt
4.Acid King - Busse Woods
5.Albino Python - The Doomed And The Damned
