Well, here are the albums I could scavenge up. If I missed your absolute favorites, I do apologize; I think I covered enough ground here, though. My personal vote goes to Part the Second because it's my favorite maudlin of the Well album. Them being one of my all-time favorite bands it's a pretty self-explanatory choice from there. Well...happy voting! I'll be sure to write down all of the bands that I missed. -------------

Tough one. The obvious choice for me is the Opeth album but I am actually very fond of Eluveite one too, in fact that's the only album by them that I really really like. I'll have to think on this. ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |

First instincts say Damnation (I like it more than Still Life  ), but I haven't heard much of the other ones. I'm interested in Empyrium's. Is it any good?Also, why Shadows of the Sun? Why not Perdition City? -------------

Well, it's just my personal taste and I do like Shadows of the Sun more. The song "What Happened?" is one of my favorites by them. Perdition City is definitely not a bad one, though. And as for Empyrium, I'm not sure what you know of them, but the album I posted is very much like Agalloch when they have the acoustic guitar with the depressive vocals (but a different vocal style for Empyrium). If that aspect appeals to you, I'd give it a go. It's definitely a "sit back, relax, and enjoy the landscape" type of album. -------------

Ulver could have several  I really love "War of the Roses" my fav of their non metal works by far. Out of this list, probably Damnation. ------------- Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Testament. The real Big Four of thrash metal! Listen to doom metal, worship Satan |

I've only listened to A Wintersunset and quite dig it. My first listen to Empyrium was their song addition to the neofolk split called Whom the Moon a Nightsong Sings. If that non metal album of theirs is like this, I'll probably dig it as well. -------------

You forgot Metallica's Load   . Though in all seriousness, Porcupine Tree is hardly a metal band on it's own, at least all their albums I've listened to have been primarily alt/prog (FOAB, Deadwing, TSMS, The Incident, Stupid Dream).I voted for Part the Second. ------------- Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want. |

Definitely going to say Damnation. I like all of Opeth's albums, and don't always get why some people don't like Damnation, I actually like it a lot. -------------

I've gone with SIG:AR:TYR - The Stranger. I'm actually really pleased to see such an unknown release in this poll.  I say again that Damnation was the obvious choice, but re-listening to The Strange right now and there can be no other choice. This is really masterful dark folk ambient or whatever you want to call it. ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |

Well, adg got me interested in SIG:AR:TYR, so that's one more thing I'll have to listen to before I vote on this. -------------

It's definitely a good one. I recommend it as well.  -------------

Been on a bit of a SIG:AR:TYR trip lately. Will likely have reviews for the other albums up soon. Great project, every release retains key elements yet manages to sound completely different. ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |

| The Sky Moves Sideways is my favorite out of these, but Damnation is right up there with it. |

Though if the dark ambient influences didn't win me over, I would have gone with Empyrium.

easy voting here - Opeth - Damnation. I also like Restless Heart a lot, although Whitesnake is not a metal band, and Porcupine Tree isn't either. Paradise Lost - Host is an album I like a lot, too. Guilty pleasure I guess |

Damnation for me. ------------- If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme |

| Restless Heart is a really good overlooked Whitesnake album - superior to anything they've released since IMO. I'll give it my vote though Opeth came close. |

| Considered Mauldlin, Kayo, Opeth and Whitesnake - four great albums I'm glad I have in my collection. In the end I went for Ulver. |

Part the Second hands down. But I do like Damnation and Coyote a whole lot too. Shadows of the Sun is cool as well. Is Porcupine Tree a metal band, though ? More like a rubber band, amirite? <laugh track> ------------- http://shrineofllyria.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow - http://shrineofllyria.blogspot.com/ |
