Kind of like my 2007 list, but hopefully not as nooby haha

But knowing me, I'm probably missing some big essential album that everybody jizzed their pants to - speak up if that's the case, and tell me what it is. Most likely, I probably didn't listen to it. You may notice that I've listed mostly power/progressive albums. It's not that I've grown cynical with extreme metal; I just liked the power/progressive albums more than the extreme metal ones.

10. ...Grey Heaven Fall - Grey Heaven Fall

9. By The Hands Of The Devil - Satan's Host

8. Heavenly Ecstasy - Pagan's Mind

7. Transformation - Sonne Adam

6. Outer Isolation - Vektor

5. Blind Ride - Hibria

4. Towards The Megalith - Disma

3. Iconoclast - Symphony X

2. Welcome To The Morbid Reich - Vader

1. Anubis Gate - Anubis Gate
