[goth metal raver]

how about Opeth 'Blackwater Park'?

or one of Iron Maiden's recent albums

The only one of those I have is the Slipknot debut. That's not bad...

I'd definitely have 1,2,4,6,7 on my list in no specific order!

I would add these 5 in no particular order-

1. Enslaved - Axiomi Ethica Odini.....start of writing straight singing songs with less death growls
(from 2010 ...not sure if 2010 can be considered the 00s ? or would it start the 2000 teens - 2010, 2011, 2012, etc).)

2. Eluveitie - Evocation I - The Arcane Dominion (2009) the best of the folk metal genre imo ...dark and ethereal

3. Opeth - Watershed (2008) - includes the beautiful song - Coil

4. High On Fire - Death Is This Communion (2007)...Matt Pike's straight singing vocals are impeccable !

5. Anathema - A Natural Disaster (2003) Love this group and they're from Liverpool, home of the Beatles !!!

6. Shining - Blackjazz (2010) (heavy metal put to jazz...check it out)

7. Sunn O))) - Flight of the Behemoth (2003)...absolutely brilliant ambient metal..band's name comes from the actual Sunn Amplifier logo.

Coykie, drop the 2 releases for 2010 if you wish. I'll still have 5 additions to yours. I have all of my choices in my CD collection !

Keep up the good work with all the great posts ! Hope to hear from you soon.
